More one-liners from Nikita

#1: Vanya eats egg yolk everyday. I usually swallow the egg white, but one time, but I decided to incorporate it into Nikita's oatmeal. I'm not sure Nikita would have noticed it until Igor pointed it out, saying I spoiled the oatmeal. The word for "spoil" in Russian is a lot like "broke". So, Nikita asked, "Mommy, why did you break the kasha (oatmeal)? Kasha is supposed to be like a balloon (with accompanying hand movements)."

#2: I believe Galina was trying to tell Nikita that he should know better to do something, which prompted Nikita to respond, "I don't have a brain: I salut!"
