word play

At one time we thought we had a nice, quiet second child; a child who would give us a bit of a break form the seemingly never-ending chatter of our first. Lately, though, we've found out that we have two talkative children. It's hard to find a moment's peace in our house! However, all this chatter does lead to some humorous situations at times.
In the car we talked of kosher food rules, which led to the history of food production, and we found out that some farms may use an item known as a incubulator... square eggs, anyone?
While going over our flower flashcards in homeschool, we repeatedly find that the carnation is now the "all creation", and the chickory plant had become "chick and eggs."
In the kitchen, I often have company as I cook. One day Jamie was playing with some office supplies on the counter. After telling him that, yes, that box was full of tacks, I heard this short story take place:
"Aaah! A Tack!"
"Attack!"
