Sam's Ability to Make Us Laugh

Ok....so my child, for the past nearly 5 years, has managed to make us laugh on a daily basis without even trying. The kid just says and does the funniest things. Well, tonight was one I had to share....

We were having Jim's birthday dinner at the Japanese restaurant near our house. It is owned by this cute little old Japanese man. He LOVES kids, and he always comes around and does magic tricks, etc. with them. So he did several tricks with Sam. A few of the tricks involved these two little red foam balls. He would have Sam put them in his pocket and pull one out of Sam's shirt, or have Sam hold them both and blow in his hand then pull one out of his ear, etc. Well, we were about to leave and Sam showed us a dime and a nickel he had gotten from the man...so we told him he needed to give it back. So, he walked over and handed it back. Then, as we were walking out he turned around and yelled to the man, "You need to keep your balls off of me anyways!" I just about died I was laughing so hard!
