Where does he get these things?!

Timothy's mind appears to be working overtime these days! The things he comes up with amaze us and leave us wondering how he comes up with all this stuff. A few examples:

T: Mom, where did these pants come from? (He's become very interested in what stores things have come from and who bought them.)
M: Grandma bought them for you last year for your birthday.
T: No, what store?
M: Gymboree
T: Oh....do they have banjos there?
M: What?
T: Jamborees have banjos, right?
*Yes, but HOW does he know that?

T: (watching a Scooby Doo episode, his new favorite) Mom, which one is it?
M: It's about zombies.
T: (after watching for a few minutes) Mommy, you a GENIUS! It IS about zombies!
*Always nice to hear you're a genius...I'll have to make sure he reads this at 15!

I was called away from dinner to take a phone call and came back in the middle of this conversation between Timothy and Ben's mom.

Grandma: How are boys and girls different?
T: Pickles
G: Pickles?
T: Yep, my daddy say pickles all the time, but not mommy. (He and Ben have some sort of strange, inside joke revolving around pickles these days. I don't pretend to understand.)
*Stifled laughter from around the table.
T: No, I know! Girls are pretty and boys are hansy (his word for handsome).
*That's right, Timothy, you just keep that in mind!
