When I put my daughter to bed at night, we play a game where we draw things with our finger on each others’ foreheads. Tonight I drew some flowers, grass, and butterflies and asked her to guess. After a while, she asked for a hint. I said it was a spring scene. So what was her guess? A SNOWMAN! However, in her defense, we have had snowflakes every day this week. Plus, the other day, there was this:
So yeah…snowmen in the spring. What funny things have your kids said this week?
My friend Tiffany P submitted this installment of “Crazy things Kids Say.” Her son Nicholas is such a smart and witty little guy!
So I say to Nicholas yesterday: “Please don’t exaggerate, do you know what that word means buddy? For example don’t use your fake cry…I think you are really hurt. it scares mommy.”
Than Nicholas bluntly tells me: “Actually mommy to exaggerate means to sprinkle little lies onto the truth”
…..my witty boy
Thank you Tiffany for letting me post! If you have something funny that your kid has said to share with us, please email me at lesa(at)lesasgoods(dot)com
Sissy Girl Picking Flowers
I am going to live to be 107. How do I know this? Well, I was forced into a pinky promise the other night by my 5-year old. She told me that when she is 80, she and I are going to sit on the front porch and yell at teenagers telling them their music stinks (because of course it will. We already know this).
So she made me promise I will still be alive so that we can live together as two grouchy old women. At least she hasn’t made me promise that there will be cats involved. I don’t want to be the crazy cat lady!
It is times like this that really melt my heart. I had tears in my eyes after tucking her into bed that night. I hope that she always thinks of me this way, that she will always want me around and not be sick of me.
So if you live for another 75 years, please feel free to join us. The more the merrier, you know!
I haven’t done any posts for Crazy Things Kids Say in a while. However, today’s lunch discussion deserved a post.
While eating lunch today, Bubby asked the following question: “Mommy, why do we call sandwiches sandwiches? They are not made from sand or witches.”
So I replied the same thing I always reply when it involves language and I am stumped: “Because English is a funny language. Now eat your food.”
Thanks to Kristin in WV for this one. Your daughter is adorable!
Kristin’s daughter on the beach: “There’s a bunch of sand, so we don’t have to share!”
Bubby said he wanted to be a vegetarian. The conversation went something like this:
“Yeah, I am going to eat bacon, but I will not eat pepperoni anymore because it hurts the pig.” He later went on to say that he will eat just about any meat, as long as it has a sauce on it.
Somehow, I don’t think he fully understands the concept of being a vegetarian.
So tonight on the way home from Nana’s, my son informs me that I need like 30 of me with big stretchy arms so that I can do lots of things all at the same time. Yeah, that might be kind of cool. I just don’t get why my arms have to be stretchy.
Today’s Crazy Things Kids Say comes from my friend Jackie. Her son came up with a good one!
Papa took Joaquin in the men’s room at daycare today and was telling him about the urinal. Joaquin’s response: “It’s not mine, it’s daycare’s.”
Thank you Jackie!
Starting a new topic for the blog today since we are full of these at my house. If you have one to share, please email me at lesa (at) lesasgoods (dot)com.
Bubby told me a few nights ago that he would like to know all about poop. He thought the Discovery Channel should host a series: The History of Poop. Sorry Discovery Channel!
