they try and convince you someone stole a dollar of theirs from their lunch at school. After further questioning your daughter tells you it was Bugs Bunny (that furry SOB ) who took it and since she is 3 she really does not need money for food, it is included at daycare (I knew that but sometimes I give her money for soda).

Man I can't wait till she is old enough to roll up a PC, she already says she lives in a castle and her daddy is a hero and he fights Green Goblin.....kids, what an ego boost .

You know your kids (in my case, my little sister) will be good role players when...
... she says things like "My mommy is a dwarf. She is short and likes axes."

or says...
"ohh, look, a sword" (stick in the yard). "Come on, my brothers, let's *ting*!" Ting is the sound effect she used for sword-fighting.

or says...
Sister: " I'm gonna shoot my brother"
Mom: "Shoot him? With what"
Sister: "His bow."
Mom, playing along: "Where are you gonna shoot him"
Sister: "In the stomach!"
Mom: "In the stomach? You don't want to shoot him in the head?"
Sister: "No, I want to shoot him in the stomach."
Mom, now confused: "Why the stomach."
Sister, smiling: "Because it will hurt more!"

...when... she can name swords, axes, spears, bows, armour, helmets, and maces on sight.

.... she puts down the Mickey Mouse childrens book and asks you to read her the Monster Manual, or Fiend Folio, or Book of Vile Darkness (we don't let her look at that one, though. She might get ideas to hurt us )

Gotta love two-year-olds!

I was listening to my three year old brother playing the other day
with the action figures I religiously give my siblings (I really want
'em for myself but I've never felt comfortable letting them just sit
on the shelf and sadly I seem to have lost my skill in playing with
'em successfully):

Batman: "You can't get my blood!"
Resident Evil Zombie: "Oh yeah? I'll bite you!"
Bats: "I'll kick you in your nuts!"
REZ: "I don't have a penis!"
Bats: "I'm gonna take my lightsaber and cut your hand off!"
* Drooly Lightsaber sound effects *
REZ: "S??T!"
Bats: "And I'll poke you with my magic stick so you'll turn into sand."
* POOF! *
REZ: "I'm turning into saaaaaaaaand! Agh! I'm deeeaaaad!"



Incidentally, Buffy's his fav show on TV.

Two weeks ago, I was preparing a module for my campaign. My 11 YO son sits beside me and asks if he can watch me prepare my module. I say shure. It turns out, he's basically the one designing the whole thing. Here's a few interesting moments while designing the game:

Me:"What should I put in that room"
My son:"Put a pit trap !"
Me:"OK"
My son:"And put a monster at the bottom"
Me:"Oohh... my buddies will hate you"
My son: *big grin*

Me:"OK, next room.."
My son:"Put a pit trap !"
Me:"Again ?"
My son:"And put a monster at the bottom !"
Me:"I can't do the same thing all over the dungeon"
My son:"Why ?"

Another one:

I'm trying to figure out what monster to put in a room and I'm flippin' through the MM, when my son stop me:

My son:"THAT ONE ! THAT ONE ! PUT THAT ONE !"
Me:"I can't."
My son:"WHY ???"
Me:"It's the Tarrasque. It's too strong for them. It will kill them very quick."
My son:"PUT IT !"

So I told him he could sit with us when we will be playing that part of the campaign. The overall dungeon is pretty much tougher and rougher than what I usually design. When the players will complain, I will point at my son and say:"Hey, don't look at me, he did that".
