Kids say the cutest things...

Ok so I was not having a great day today. Then my three year old son asks me, out of the blue,....."Mama, did you ever slide down a rainbow?"  I just had to smile and laugh at that. Then I told him that No, I never did slide down a rainbow, but I sure would like to.

The next time it rains and we see a rainbow, we're going to have to go searching for the end of it so we can slide down it!

I just wanted to share. I'd love to hear the cute things that your kids have said!

awww! that's adorabe :)

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww  my baby will be 2 monday, and she's at ther independence phase...   "Do u want me to help you"? I ask " no help you" she says.... its a beautiful thing...

I asked my little girl, "Where's Dad"?  She said, "Don is in his cage."  (the shop)

aww.. how cute!  I wanna slide down the rainbow too  :)

I took my daughter (at the time she was 3ish) to watch the fireworks on the fourth of July.  she said..

"Wow mama.. lookie at the fire-crayons"

Two sisters, one about 4, the other around 3, were in my store the other day.  They were walking about 20 feet in front of mom, you know, acting like "big girls" out on their own.  The bigger one turned to the littler one and asked, "Do you want me to hold your hand so you won't get lost?"

Too sweet.

Once I was staying in the Smokey's in a hotel on a creek. My middle daughter who was three at the time and I were sitting outside and she was staring at the creek. I asked her what she saw and she turned around and told me she was looking for mermaids.

The other day we were eating at BK (yes I know) and my husband went to get the food. I asked my not yet 2 year old where daddy went. She turned around and couldn't see him because he was behind something and she turned to me raised her hands like she was saying don't know and said "hidding".

The other day my hubby and I were describing to my son how we didn't have remote controls for our televisions, only got to watch cartoons on Saturday mornings, and didn't have microwaves in our homes until we were about 11 or 12.  And out of what seemed like nowhere, he started crying.  When asked about it, he said he was sad because of the rough life we had growing up.

I had a five year old girl say to me, "I remember when you took care of me last time, but you had blonde hair then, now it's brown" Uh oh time to get my highlights re-done!

Well, the days of toddler wisdom are far behind me, but the hits keep coming even with teens.

I am serving as a guinea pig for a friend who is training as a personal coach, and she had me do an exercise where I ask roughly 9-10 people the following: What qualities do I bring into a room? My friends said things like intelligence, adventurous spirit, fun, etc.

My 15yo son replies, "Ninja-skills, cookies, and the dog."

My 2 1/2 year old niece lives 500 miles away and we talk on the phone several times a week. She hugs and kisses the phone (according to my family members) since she can't hug or kiss me. I also get text messages of gibberish to which I always send one back that says, "Love you too!" since I can only assume that's what she's trying to tell me. Once she tried to feed me a Hershey kiss through the phone! Advice: never ask a toddler if the chocolate they're eating is yummy. They will try to squish it into the receiver so you can try it too even though you're halfway across the country.

My parents are devoted democrats and MSNBC is almost always on at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Now, whenever my niece sees an African-American male she is inclined to point and yell "Barack Obama".

This same munchkin used to cry when her daddy went to work.  He's a single dad and working hard to support them so they never get as much time together as they want/need.  To stop the tears, my sister explained to Jordyn that daddy has to work to "make her money".  Now, if I call her and I ask where daddy is she will shout, "Daddy's making my money!"  She also has called me at work to tell me to make her money!  It's so funny because she has vague concepts of money.  If Grandma and Grandpa are out of her favorite foods (bananas and graham crackers) she will state: "Go pay for some."

My step-daughter will carry on a conversation in her sleep and not know it. After she was asleep last night, we shut off the air conditioning. I went in her room to open the windows so she wouldn't roast. The light from the hallway was enough to rouse but not wake her. The whole time I was in there, she kept yelling at me to "go away, I'm tired." in a manner that would have gotten her in trouble if she was awake!

My daughter Tegan is 3.  In "school" she was learning about Dr. Martin Luther King---and all that he went through and taught us.  Anyways we were in the City office paying our water bill when this younger black guy walked in.  She grabbed my hand and said, "mommy look there is my friend you know Dr. Martin Luther King."  lol The man looked at her and laughed.....I tried to keep a straight face.  When we got to the car I explained to her that it wasn't him.  But she swore it was.  Thank goodness he didn't take offense to it!  I love it! :)
