Oh So Proud

Context: Whiskers is sleeping and Squiggles is babbling away and it’s rare I have time to really listen. 

Squiggles: Do you know anyone called Leonardo?

Me: Yeah sure Leonardo the ninja turtle. 

Squiggles: Yeah he’s the blue one. Do you know anyone else with the name Leonardo. 

Me: Um Leonardo DaVinci?

Squiggles: Who’s that? Another ninja turtle?

Me: No he was a very famous artist from a long time ago.

Squiggles, after a brief pause: Well I think you should call him Leonarto.

Me: Uh why?

Squiggles: Because he’s a artist (insert snickering at his own joke).

Hilarious. Dad jokes at 4.
