“Was this picture taken when you used to be prettier?”
Kyle age 2 or 3
Kyle age 2 or 3… He was standing at the fridge, pointing to a photo taped to the door. Asking me if that picture of my more youthful self was taken when I used to be prettier. You had to peel me off the linoleum.
Kyle age 5… It is Christmas time and he is singing his heart out to Joy to the World. Letting all within ear shot know that “he rules the world with two fat legs.”
I love cute things kids say, do and sing. So here is what I am hoping. I am hoping you have a few of those tucked away that you might want to share. I recently started taping a new food show written by moms, dads and grandparents, too. My goal for the show is that it becomes every parents platform for celebrating the sunny side of daily family life which is something that we bloggers already do. Click here to see my new show.
What kinds of fun things do your kids say or sing?
My son was about 3 when we were coming home from a Bible Study group. The kids learned to say the Pledge of Allegiance there at the beginning of class time. On the way home, we passed a big American flag, and my son yells out, “Mama…MAMA! The Witches Dance!” He was so excited.
Took me a while before I connected the dots on that one…”For Which It Stands…”
My four year old and I got into a REALLY full lift once and there was a Muslim lady there dressed in her burka (I think it’s called?) and he asked me (at the top of his penetrating little voice) if she was a witch!!! I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me!!! Could he not have been MORE politically incorrect??
The whole way back to the car I had to go into a lengthy discussion about religion and the differences….needless to say I lost him after about 30 seconds.
