Looking at pictures of Simon:
Mommy: What does Simon do?
Aidan: He crawls and grabs and kicks and falls in love.
Mommy: Who does he fall in love with?
Aidan: Aunt Julie, she's his mama and you're my mama.
Here's a cute Aidan story. Daddy has taught Aidan that when you open the shell of a nut the resulting nut is called a nut meat. So whenever we eat pistachios, Aidan calls them nut meats. Well I have him at the office today and I set up a buffet of snacks for him on one of my desks. Part of the buffet was a handful of shelled pistachios. I reached over to grab one to eat and he laid his hand on mine and said, "Do NOT" dramatic pause "eat Aidan's meat."
Mommy: Your cousin Simon is having a hard time sleeping. What does he need?
Aidan: Maybe he needs a honk honk. I will give him one with my big hands. His hands are too little.
Mommy: What will help him sleep?
Aidan: He needs to look at Aunt Julie's face.
Mommy: I think she's tired of having her face looked at.
She needs a break.
Aidan: Then I will look at her face and we will play in the secret room.
Mommy: Who will watch Simon?
Aidan: Nobody will....Mommy can we go see Aunt Julie?
Mommy: (baiting) Who's Aunt Julie?
Aidan: She's my big girl.
Mommy: I love your snooty booty.
Aidan: It's not snooty!
Mommy: Don't be wonky honky.
Aidan: Nothing is honky!
Mommy: Don't be so grumpy!
Aidan: Alright, that's it, I'm gonna love you.
Aidan spies a game in his closet. He's pointing to the bowling game:
Daddy: What game do you want to play?
Aidan: That one right there.
Daddy: What's it called?
Aidan: It's called Knock Over!
While playing, the pins keep falling down without Aidan's assistance,
Aidan: Ah nuts! These guys keep knocking over by themselves!
Honey - bear juice or bear sap
Syrup - tree sap
Yogurt covered raisins - candy beans
Soda - bubble juice
Sweat pants - warmies

Aidan: I'm gonna kill you. (from Futurama)
Mommy: No killing, killing's not nice.
Aidan: OK, I wont kill you anymore, I'll just love you.
