Little Conversationalist

Henry has turned into a little conversationalist and I LOVE IT.  It is so much fun to talk to him and listen to what he has to say. Here are a few recent conversation snippets:

Me: Henry, after dinner would you like to get some ice cream.
Henry: Yeah!  ICE CREAM!!!  Go now!
Me: No, we need to eat dinner first.  After dinner, do you want hard ice cream or soft ice cream?
Henry: Hmmm...topping kine.  I waannn topping kine. Frozen yogurt kine.
Me: Oh, okay.  You sure you don't want ice cream?
Henry: No.  Frozen yogurt kine.  Yeah.  I waaaannnnn topppiiinnngggssss!
Me: What kind of toppings do you want?
Henry: Hmmm....chokate kine, spinkles kine, cooooookie kine, and sour pach kids!!!  Yeah.
Me: That sounds delicious.  Perhaps you could just pick one kind of topping.
Henry.  Nooooooo, ALLLLLLL of them!!!  YEAH!  Henry do it!  No help Mommy!

Henry: Mommy, where did your weenus go?
Me: Mommy doesn't have a weenus because Mommy is a girl.
Henry (looking very concerned): Mommy, WHY!?!  Where weenus go!?!
Me: Mommy wasn't born with a weenus, Mommy was born with a vagina.
Henry:  Giggled.  Ran off to play Legos. 
While playing with his Legos independently, in a sing-song cadence, he repeated "Henry has weenus.  Daddy has weenus.  Mommy have no weenus.  Henry has weenus.  Daddy has weenus.  Mommy have no weenus...."

Henry:  Mommy, why digger not moving?
Me: I don't know.  Perhaps it needs a rest.
Henry: Why no dumper?
Me: I think it needed to go to the dump.
Henry: Digger need dig now!  Digger need dumper!  Mommy go get it!  NOW!
Me: It is Sunday.  The Digger doesn't work on Sunday.
Henry: Where's working man?
Me: I think the working man is at home.
Henry: Why?
Me: People need to rest and spend time with their family.
Henry: I want working man come back, NOW!  Digger needs dig dirt!
Me: Perhaps we can come back tomorrow.
Henry: Why?
Me: Why not?

After a recent storm that left a bunch of debris on the streets:
Henry: Mommy, why street messy?
Me: Because there was a storm and the wind blew the leaves off the trees.
Henry: Why!?!  Need clean up.  Street messy!
Me: The wind will blow the leaves away.
Henry: NOOOOO!!!!  Street sweeper need come clean up messy!!!

On a recent trip to the pet store to purchase dog food:
Henry: Why we here Mommy?
