My Kids Say the Darndest Things Part 1
3/07 Zach at the table to Tory “Stop touching me with your sticky hands” and Tory replies “Stop looking at me with your sticky EYES!”
4/07 Val and Laurah:
ON watching the evening news and hearing about a bombing in
Iraq. “Mom, how many soldiers were killed? “ I don’t know I wasn’t listening. “Mom, were they our soldiers?” “I don’t know…I wasn’t paying attention. “Well! Cant you rewind it?”
5/07 Tory- “ I want my cocoa.”
Mom” I don’t have any pre made cocoa and the syrup is all gone, but daddy will go pick some up”
Tory- “Mom, we have milk, just stir it, and it will be cocoa.”
From a toddlers eye view, I geuss that is what it looks like. Stirring turns white milk into cocoa.
8/ 07 Valerie showing us her newest creation, Kierstyn asks me “ How did she get all the creative genes? “and I said “ I don’t know” and Valerie, listening asks “What JEANS?”
8/28 Upon going to the mall to look for a book by Plato in the bookstore for Kierstyn, Victoriah says “ I love that playdoh”.
9/1 The morning news showed the world’s tallest sandcastle, and it was constructed using a mold. Since Kierstyn wanted to know how he built it, and she had gone downstairs, I was explaining to Kierstyn that they used a mold to make the sandcastle and Valerie asked “Did the mold make them sick?” (she was obviously thinking of a different kind of mold!)
9/17 Zach was hitting Val with the pillow on the couch after the movie and I asked him to stop, then told him again and asked him why he did not stop the first time. And he said it was because of “INERTIA” ( an object in motions, his arm, wants to stay in motion.) Although, it would actually be Newtons Law of Motion, I was still impressed he as thinking of a good excuse!
