The Duke is on a roll!

In the car on the way home from our co-op, Maddie was teaching Duke subtraction.
M: Dukey, let's say that you have 3 doughnuts, but Mommy takes away 2 of your doughnuts. How many doughnuts do you have left?
D: One. And I would be very sad.
M: Now, let's say you have 4 doughnuts, but Mommy takes away 2 of your doughnuts. How many doughnuts do you have now?
D: Two! And I would be very happy!

The other is bathroom humor, so stop reading here if that's not up your alley. :)

At our co-op recently, I was in a brief meeting, so another mom was watching Maisie and Duke for me. She told me afterward that Duke needed to go #2, so she took him to the bathroom to help him. While he was in the stall and she was holding his door, he started talking to her. He told her, quite perky and conversationally, that sometimes going poopy makes him sad because the first poopy is very big and it hurts sometimes so he gets tears in his eyes. She was cracking up.

So today, once again at our co-op, Duke told me he had to go poopy. I took him to the bathroom and he proceeded to stand up. I said, "Duke, I thought you told me you had to go poopy?" While he was going #1 he answered me, "Sometimes when my poopy and peepee aren't coming together, I stand up first and go peepee and then just I sit down and do my poopies. But sometimes when the peepees and poopie are right next to each other, then I sit down and they go into the potty together."

Well, then he sat down to go poopie and I stepped out of the stall. He was sitting there for a bit and then I heard him grunt, so I said, "Buddy, you okay in there?"
He replied, "Yes, Mommy. Remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Sometimes when I go poopy, the first one makes me sad bc sometimes it hurts a little bad...hey, Mommy! Sad and bad, they rhyme! Sad, bad. Sad, bad. They rhyme! Sad, bad..."
