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.
blueriver30: when my oldest daughter was 2 she ran to the window to look at the snow coming down and she said "look mommy it's whiteing out" lol
Smart girl!
At 3, my grand daughter developed her own words and we are still working on changing them - but some do make sense
- she got jacket and coat confused, so called them all jackoats - she calls combines last night and yesterday into lasterday - tomorrow morning is tomorning - she calls the trampoline a bouncapine
Kind of odd, but smart in her own way; they do see the world in a different way...
