"I need anything!"

Me: Callan, I'm going up to take a shower.  If you need anything, come and get me.  Ok?

C: Ok.

(a few minutes later I hear a little voice at the bathroom door)

C: Mommy!  I need anything!

Me: What?

C: I need anything.

Me: (finally understanding that he means that he needs something, but he's just repeating what I said earlier)  Oh, you need something, Callan?  (insert me laughing here)

C: Yes, you said if I need anything and I need Daddy.

Me: I wish Daddy was here, too, but he's at work.

C: Ok. (runs away)

It just cracks me up how literally he repeats the words I say.  :)

He's been on a "Daddy kick" lately.  Yesterday he cried bloody murder when Gene left for work.  And when Gene called on his way home from work, Callan told him, "Daddy, I missed you all day!"  I love to watch both kids plow Gene over when he comes home from work while they both shout, "Hold me, Daddy!  Hold me, Daddy!" at the top of their lungs.  Precious.
