Questions for Caleb

So, I've had a few friends on facebook post these questions.  The instructions are: WITHOUT ANY prompting, ask your child these questions and write down EXACTLY what they say. It is a great way to find out what they really think. 

I thought, hey, why not?  I was going to post it on facebook as my status, but then I thought it was more likely I'd find it again if I posted it to my blog.  I like to save this kind of thing-- it's so fun to look back on.  

This morning I sat down and asked Caleb (4) these questions.

Also, I had Caleb when I was 23, so that was appropriate for the question ;)
