And still I probably haven't heard it all!

You know, there is really no way to encapsulate the random that makes up a mom's day.

But in my attempt to try, here are 13 things I've heard recently from my children:

"Do dinosaurs ever need band-aids?"

"See, here in the front of the book is the Table of
Continents."

"NO! I don't want clean teeth!"

"Yes, I do want dentist drill holes in my teeth 'cause I didn't brush. I do!"

"Does anybody ever run out of kisses?"

"Tomorrow starts my Stanford testing at school and we're supposed to eat a good breakfast. You should make me eggs! I know, one day I can have scrambled eggs and the next hard-boiled eggs -- but you'll have to make those the night before."

"Knights don't have capes!"

"What do I have to eat to get dessert?"

"Is it almost Christmas?" (Me: "Um, no, Christmas is 11 months away")

"Are stinky people real?"

"I want just pants, no diaper, no underwear! Just pants!"

"No, you can't be Spiderman even if you are wearing the Spiderman costume, you have to be Spidergirl."

"Mommy, do you love Isabella (that's our dog) even though she has bad breath?"

  3. Don't you love kids honesty? I have a girl at my preschool who tells me every day, "Your whole body's pretty." Ha -- those kids know how to make us teachers feel fantastic.

  6. I love to hear how kids relate to the world around them! They have a great perspective. It's also the best way to watch them grow. Lately I've been enjoying how my (newly)9yo and 6yo deal with our growing kittens. "Mom. Pixie took your dishtowel and was fighting with it - I took it away, told her "No!", and gave her one of her toys." or "Pumpkin and Ninja were fighting too much on my bed, so I put them out of my room for time out". I tend to hear a lot of 'me' in their comments!

  19. I love the random sayings that come out of my 3yo's mouth! She'll catch me laughing at times and want to know "why are you laughing, Mommy?" I want to capture all her randomness and save it for those days I'm at my wits' end with her! :)
