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?"

ReplyDeleteBlessings,

How cute. I like the one about kisses. Happy TT!
ReplyDeleteDon'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.
ReplyDeleteKids are just too blunt sometimes and I love them for that! Wonderful list!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday!
Cute stuff. I'm going to have to write more down. My kids are always making me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteLovely list. Bought a smile to my lips as I read.
ReplyDeletefrom the mouth of babes... made me smile.
ReplyDeleteoh love it. wish I had made note of more of the things my boys said when they were little.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, love it.
ReplyDeleteThose are the true benefits of the job. It's a sad day when they start editing what they say.
ReplyDeleteSo darling...adorable post. This is just so unique, clever and I really enjoyed the conversations. The one about dessert tho....I think I still say that to myself. LOL

Making me laugh with every one and kids and their "funnies" is certainly something to be thankful for!
ReplyDeleteI 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! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, those are great! I love lists like this. One thing my oldest said many years ago that always stuck with me was, "I like socks. They're like feet jackets!" LOL!
ReplyDeleteA - Dor- A- BLE!!!!
