Kids say the darndest things

Ok, so K and I were making potato salad for our 4th of July party. He is on the counter chopping potatoes and says, "mom, why can you see coyotes eyes at night" Not knowing why I say, "they have lights in their eyes" K says, "o so they have eye bulbs" I peed my pants, sounded good to me. After he was done with the potatoes he said, "so do I cut these ones to" (the sweet potatoes on the counter). I say, "No, those are sweet potatoes". He says, "Oh the ones I cut were bad potatoes then". Where on earth does he come up with these things??
