Recently heard falling from Miro's mouth...

We were at the beach, when Miro said:
"Look at the colour of the water Mummy! The colour is very beautiful!"
I replied:
"It
is beautiful. Would you like to live by the beach Miro?"
"Oh yes," Miro replied. "But how will we get our house here?"

Miro wandered into the kitchen after eating fish fingers for dinner, a mixed expression on his face.
"How do they get fish fingers Mummy?" he asked, making a sawing motion on his own fingers.

Miro had decided that he desperately wanted to talk to his cousin Bennett, and had been mentioning him for two days. Finally I said "Do you want to call him?"
"Oh yes!" said Miro.
So I dialled the number, found Bennett and passed over the phone.
"Bennett!" I heard Miro exclaiming on the phone as I walked away. "I've been worried about you!"

Miro and I were talking about something where I mentioned that I had been a little girl once, and was now a woman, and would one day be an old woman.
Miro doesn't like to hear about growing up into an old person, and a look of panic crossed his face. He grabbed my cheeks between his two hands and kissed me and said:
"Don't grow into an old lady Mummy! I love you just the way you are."
