We're debating what the biggest number is over breakfast. This is a fairly regular debate in our house. It somehow morphs into a discussion of what numbers can be divided by other numbers, leading to this gem from my #1 son, maths genius!
C (7 y/o): Except five divided by four - I don't think you can do that.
Me: You can - you can divide any number by any other number, except zero. You cannot divide by zero as the answer is always undefined.
C (7 y/o): You can. I've already done that. Five divided by zero is five. See!

A hotdog without a bun...
In today's wondrous insights on the world and all that's in it, from the 5 y/o:
5 y/o: A hotdog without a bun is just... (deeply contemplative pause)... like a sausage!
11 y/o: Yes. It is exactly a sausage.

When you're part of a team...
With the usual complete lack of warning, context, or meaningful inspiration.
5 y/o: I'm going out to play with the others. But first I have to pee. It's important to pee when you're part of a team.
(breaks into the following, to the tune of the LEGO movie song, while (of course) going to the bathroom to pee) ♫♫ Everything is awesome. Everything is awesome when you pee when you're part of a team. Everything is awesome... ♫♫
