Conversation with a five year old

The other day Chris slept in and had breakfast after the older kids were in school. He had his favorite-PB&J and apple sauce. He was on his seconds of applesauce and I told him that was all he could have.
CHRIS~Applesauce is good for you.
MOMMY~How do you know that?
CHRIS~I just thought it.
MOMMY~Do you know what applesauce is made of?
CHRIS~NO
MOMMY~Think about it-APPLE sauce.
CHRIS eyes light up~ APPLES
We spent the next few minutes talking about what other things were made of.
MOMMY~Do you know what little girls are made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice.
CHRIS~ looks at mommy
Mommy~ Do you know what little boys are made of? Sticks and snails and puppy dog tails.
CHRIS with big eyes~MOMMY is that true!!!!
I love that kid.
