Some of the things Boy1 says are unbelievable. I don't mean prophetically unbelievable but unbelievable in the sense that he's still only two years old and talks like a five year old. It's also unbelievable to me the situations he can work through in his head and then verbalize.
The other day Boy1 was playing with his dump truck and somehow a stuffed dolphin ended up riding in the dump truck. Boy1 stopped playing, looked at the truck/dolphin combination, slapped his knee, faked laughed and said "a dolphin in a dump truck, that's so silly mommy". I burst out laughing, and not because of the dolphin in the dump truck (which is actually pretty strange and probably should be reported to the proper authorities should you ever come across the scenario in real life), but because of his response to the situation. I don't know where he learned how to fake laugh and slap his knee. That was actually more surprising to me than his realizing a dolphin wouldn't be riding in a dump truck.
There are two valuable lessons we can all learn from this: 1) if you need a good laugh, spend some time around a two year old and 2) NEVER underestimate your child's intelligence and ability to absorb information. Toddlers can be scary smart sometimes.
