Did I say something funny

Our latest adventure is potty training. We are in the midst of potty training boot camp. In some ways it is going better than expected, but you can never be ready for dealing with poop in underwear. I have been very tempted to just throw the dirty undies away. But then I remember that we bought the expensive superhero underwear, and am forced to deal with the mess. Really, the boys have been good. There are been surprisingly few accidents. The boys are really getting the hang of going on the potty, and are starting to tell us when they have to go. Bye, bye diapers!
Kessler and Caulder are a source of humor in our household daily. Lately, Caulder has been fixated on skunks, bears, and monsters. Most conversations end with "but their might be skunks, bears, or monsters". When I go into their room at night and ask them what they are talking about it's always "skunks, bears, and monsters". Along these lines, I have to share two really funny conversations I have had with Caulder lately:
Looking at a picture:

Caulder: Where are you and daddy
Me: In Australia
Caulder: Did we go with you
Me: No
Caulder: Why not
Me: You were not born yet
Caulder: What does born mean
Me: It means that you and Kessler were very little and grew inside my tummy. When you were big enough the doctor took you out so you could live with mommy and daddy.
Caulder: Mommy you ate us?
Me: laugh
Caulder (close to tears): But, you're not going to eat us again. I don't want to you eat us! (Don't worry, I spent the next 15 minutes convincing both Caulder and Kessler that I did not eat them, and we do not eat people).

Going to the doctor for 3 year wellness check-up:
Caulder: Where are we going
Me: To visit doctor Johnson
Caulder: Why. I don't want to visit Dr. Johnson. He's scary like a monster
Me: Doctor Johnson is very nice. He is just going to take a look at you.
Caulder: Well, he might not be nice.
Me: Doctor Johnson is very nice....like Santa Clause. Maybe you can think of something that you can tell Doctor Johnson you want for Christmas.
Caulder: I'm gong to tell him that I want a bear with no teeth or arms so that he won't be scary.

P.S. Check out the older posts back to Halloween. I have finally caught up!
