You know they say the darnedest things because they are so innocent. I watch a 6 year old and she just cracks me up with some of her ideas and it reminds me of some of the things my own kids have done or even some of the things I believed in or said at that age.
For instance when I was 4 I wanted to have 99 babies.....only 99 though because 100 were just too much. LOL!
When my son was 5 he discovered his heart beat so he raced over to me and said "Mom mom! Put your hand here! My chest is beeping!"
The little girl I watch is apparently married to every animal in my house ( because she loves them THAT much).
My brother when he was like 4 decided that he was going to be a lion that could fly when he grew up.
It's things like that which are innocent and heartfelt enough to bring a smile to my face.
So what kinds of cute kid crack- me -ups have you heard ( or even said yourself when you were young waaaay back in the day)?
The one my dad talks about wasnt a quote but the fearless innocence. I was 4 maybe 5 and got a superman cape for my birthday. After getting a proper knot from mom i took off at full speed and dove off our second story deck. Hindsight tells me the cape didnt include the super powers advertised luckily i was fine. My daughters favorite question when she was young was whats that and it always came at the wrong times. She always had a knack of catching you in an akward spot and poping the question to which you always had to ponder if honesty was teh best answer.
I don't have kids but when I was a kid I invented my own language of sorts. I didn't have a speech impediment or any trouble sounding words, I just liked the way I said them. For instance, my favorite food was fruit cocktail but I called it fruit cottontail.
I don't have any kids and if you're all lucky, I won't be having any! However when I was a smaller pain in the butt, my Uncle John would stick his dentures out at me (almost like poking your tongue out at someone) and every time it would scare me! So I'd run behind some other family members legs and glare at him from behind and point my finger sternly (I got that from my mother) and say "Uncle John thats not very funny".
One time I walked in on my mother arguing with her father (my Pa) and when I was a little girl, my Pa was my world. No one, and I mean no one-- not even my mother, was allowed to yell at my Pa. My mother was angry because he let me jump on the bed, but of course he would follow my every move, standing by to catch me. Well all I heard was "Dad you can't just let her do whatever she wants! There has to be rules!" and just as she said that I marched up to her, pointed and said "DON'T YOU TALK TO YOUR FATHER LIKE THAT!" and my mother leaned down and got eye to eye with me and said "Don't you talk to your mother like that". And so apparently for the next week my grandfather walked around like someone had named him High King because his grandbaby had just told her mom off at like two years of age.
