John has developed a habit over the last couple of months that is simultaneously cute and entertaining, yet irritating. The whole family will be together and John will ask me a question, which I'll answer, and then he'll tell Daddy the information as if hadn't been in the room the whole time.
Driving in the car, John might ask me, "What is that river?" I'll answer, "That river is iced over because of the cold winter." Then John will exclaim, "Daddy! I saw a river that was iced over because of the cold winter!"
John might inquire about some construction vehicles sitting idle and I'll explain, "They're not moving because the construction workers are at home today resting with their families. It's Sunday and workers rest today." Then John will shriek, "Daddy! Those 'diggers' are resting because the construction workers are with their families today!"
So far we always just play along cheerfully and Daddy answers, "Oh yes? That's right! Wow, how neat!" or whatever is applicable. The scene does get a bit preposterous when John echoes to Daddy three or four things I've said in a row.
