cute kid quips

I must admit, I wish I had this blogging thing when the kids were little. Now that they are 13 and 11 the “cute kid quips” are a little further and farther between. But, now and again I tell them a story or two about when they were little and how they responded. I think I’ll use this whole blogging thing once in a while as a way to record what I remember. I’m sure they’ll thank me for it one day LOL.

Eldest (“E” for short): When E was in Kindergarten a volunteer mom told me this story. E was sitting at a table with a 5 year old boy who was being rather rambunctious. Finally E told the boy to smarten up. He told her immediately “you’re not the boss of me”. She replied “no… but you’re misbehaving”. Good answer!!!

Youngest (“Y” for short): E & Y had been at Grandma’s (Omi’s) house for a few days having a sleepover. Pick up day was Friday. I was trying to bundle everyone out the door at the end of the visit and wanted Y to go “potty” before we left. I was having no luck convincing her that this was a good idea. As Omi had been the primary caregiver for the last few days she thought she would give it a go. “Y – when was the last time you went, don’t you think you should go again?” Utterly sure of herself Y said “Oh Omi… I went on Tuesday!”

E (at about 4 years of age) was lying on the floor in the hallway of our house. We were entertaining my brother & sister-in-law who are oh so close to the kids. Uncle thought perhaps something was wrong – he went and to lie on the floor beside her and asked her what was up – “nothing uncle, just thinking about all the people who love me…”

More to come as I think of them…
