(while trying to learn "he" from "she")

Eric:  (regarding Matthew) She's over there!

Papa:  Matthew is a he.

Eric:  She's a boy!

Papa:  HE'S a boy

Eric:  I'm a he! And you're a he!

Papa:  That's right!  And what is Mommy?

Eric:  A she!

Papa: Right!  And Nana is...?

Eric:  A she!

Papa:  Good.  So what is Matthew?

Eric:  She's a he!

Eric:  (distraught)  I can't find my brown numbers.  They're black.

Mom:  I can see why you're having difficulty locating them.

Eric:  Where did Papa go?

Nana:  I don't know

*Eric runs to the back of the house and comes back*

Eric:  I can't find Papa.

*toilet flushes*

Nana:  I think he went to the bathroom

Eric:  OH!  I can go watch that I think!
