Do you remember things you have seen and heard kids say that make you think "I should send that into Reader's Digest"?
Here are a few from my crew:
Back in the day when I did the Jane Fonda exercise thing, my then 4 year old son told his Dad that he exercised with Mommy that day. His Dad asked him "did you run on the spot"? The reply was in a very patronizing tone...." ummm, no. We ran on the carpet".
Several years later, at about the 12, the same son was reading his teen age sister's to-do list she had left on the table. After a few seconds, he got his sister's attention and asked her "who the hell is Bobby Pins"? We were all very confused for a moment, until he pointed out her list and where it said PICK UP BOBBY PINS. Needless to say, when one of us does or says something a bit stupid, we are often referred to as Bobby Pins.
