dinnertime conversation

Tonight:
John: Drink some more water Nolan, I don't want your kidneys to crystalize. (Really we're just worried about him getting constipated...)
Nolan: I don't want any water.
Roz: Really, I don't think we need to worry about his kidneys. Especially not if I have patients drinking three to four liters of soda in a day and nothing else.
John: We don't want Nolan to end up going to a federally subsidized clinic like your patients.
John: Wait, he does go to your clinic.

Another day at lunch:
Nolan: (Happily dipping his hot dog in ketchup.) I don't want my apples in it! (We move the apples away from the ketchup.)
Roz: Yes, that does sound kind of gross. You don't want to taste apples dipped in ketchup?
Nolan: No, it's gross.
John: Some people do eat their apples dipped in ketchup. Those people are communists.
Nolan: It's communist! (OK, that story is not so funny, but hearing Nolan say communist over and over was really funny! Some words just sound really odd from the mouth of a toddler, and they will repeat anything you say.)
