Out of the Mouth's of Babes

Warning, the following story may have been a "I guess you had to be there" moment, but for some of you I hope you get a laugh!
I took Gabe to the park today and he was busy jumping off of a step when I suggested to him that he might have fun going down the slide. "Oh!" he said and he took off running for the slide. Well, running as fast as his little legs could go, he tripped. He did what looked to be like a swan dive, only a little less graceful and more slow motion. He ended it by continuing to roll slightly up onto his face, just enough to fill his mouth with dirt. There was a silent moment between the two of us, I was prepared to hear him scream and he was contemplating doing just that. Then he said "Ugh! Mommy, I eat dirt!" I started to laugh and said "You ate dirt Buddy?" He nodded and spit and said with a smile "Eat Dirt Mama!"
