My kids are famous for the things they say. It is amazing how their little minds work and how they think things through. They make me laugh and even cry at times at how simple they put things and understand. I hope some of their words will do the same for you:
**My daughter informed me she is never getting married because she doesn't want a baby, it is too painful. I told her "You are one of the best things that ever happened to me but you don't have to have kids honey, that is your choice. Don't worry about it. You will meet someone some day and you'll change your mind." Her answer was "mom stop rushing me Ok!, I am just not ready."
**Madelynn came home yesterday mad! MOM, I can't believe you didn't tell me. EVERYONE knew but me! Oh dear lord, this is it, the talk. OK what is it you would like to talk about? This, she says and proceeds to flip me off. She showed her friend her cut on her finger and the girl told on her. The teacher realized she had ...no clue, but Madelynn was so upset. We now call it the bird and she is pointing with a new finger.
**My 5 year old just said, "Mom in the olden days, when you were born, did they have Barbies?" Yes, I answered laughing. Are you kidding me, I am only 35. The olden days? Dear Lord, I must be getting old!
**Madelynn noticed on the way to school that they took out a section of trees. "Mom, what are they doing? Don't they know they are hurting the environment?" She was clearly upset. "Honey, they are putting in a new building." Madelynn answers, "Don't those dudes know we need trees to breath, they give us oxygen!" If she could she would have gotten out of the car and given those guys a talking to.
**I suggested some new Mexican food tonight and my 7 daughter said, "Mom I like taco bell, it is in my comfort zone, I like my comfort zone because that is where I am comfortable." I started laughing and told her she was too funny. She says "Mom I not being funny, I am being real." My 5 year old then says, "Madelynn your not talking real you are talking Garbage." Seriously, where do they come up with this stuff?
**Lost someone very special to me daughter came to me and said "Dont be sad mommy, one day when you go to heaven you see both your Aunties and all your family." My 5 year old was showing me comfort and peace. God works in many ways and often through the mouths of babes.
**My daughter and I were talking about baptism yesterday and who her godparents were. A little later she asked "When was I bastard again?" I started laughing, "Baptized?" I asked "Yes" she said "baptized." I laughed for a good 20 minutes. Ever since she lost her two front teeth it seems we have had a lot of things she has a hard time saying.
**I once asked my girls what they would do if someone was being mean to their sister. Mmy yr old answered "I would yell and them to stop and call them meany head." My 5 yr old then answered, "umm...... (long pause) I would kick them in the face." Need I say more. Their sister theme song "You don't mess with sisters we got eachothers backs and if you mess with sisters ya gonna get yourself whacked!"
**My daughter informed me she doesn't ever want a boyfriend when she grows up. Why is that I asked? "Well mom I just don't need someone sitting around staring into my eyes all day." I almost spit out my drink and laughed...she added, "it is just a little creepy." Did I mention she was 6. Kids are too funny.
