Kids Say the Darndest Things
Mischievite during a commercial for a theme park: "Mom, I would want to go there, but those dinosaurs might eat me."
Me: "Honey, those dinosaurs are just robots."
Mischievite: "Do the dinosaurs know that?"

Conversation with a 3 year old I was babysitting:
Me: "How old are you?"
Her: "Fwee."
Me: "Oh my goodness, you are so old! When is your birthday?"
Her: "Umm."
Me: "Do you know? It's okay if you don't."
Her: "It had yellow frosting!"

Vicbowin during a tantrum: "I'm a religious girl and I don't believe in hitting you Mom!"

Me to Ralexwin in our nightly phone conversation:
Me: "I know you're tired, so why don't we hang up and then you can relax and go use that Bullet I got you."
Him: "Okay. I love you."
Me: "Except, when I say Bullet I mean blender... you realize that, right?"
Him: **chuckles**

Grandmother to Vicbowin: "You know, the vacuum works a lot better if you turn it on."

Albowin reading the title of his new library book: "Superman! Son of Karopola!"
Me: "Uh, no."
Albowin: "Yes."
Me: "No, dear, that says Krypton."
Albowin: "Oh.... hmm."

Me trying to comb through the rats nest of Vicbowin's hair: "Did you even wash your hair?"
Vicbowin: "No, you didn't tell me to."
Me: "Then what on Earth were you doing in there for 15 minutes?"
Vicbowin: "Just laying there, mostly."
Me: ::heavy silence:: "Wait... did you wash your body?"
Vicbowin: "Well, no, you didn't tell me too."
Me: "That's sort of assumed when someone 'takes a shower!' Go take another one."
Vicbowin: "WHAT!"
Me: "I'm serious, the entire point of you showering was to get clean... not to lay there!"

Stranger: "Oh, how old are you?"
Mischievite: "Four."
Stranger: "What a big boy you are! Happy Birthday."
Mischievite: "Thanks." ::smirk-smirk-smirk::
Mischievite: "Do the dinosaurs know that?"

I love that your daughter is a religious girl...and it stops her from hitting you. It always eases my frustration level when they are yelling and say something like that. So funny.
One day Will was lecturing Dempsey about something. (I was sitting there listening) He was mid sentence when Dempsey bursts in (very indignantly), "Jesus loves me!" I about died. I had to leave the room so I didn't laugh right there during a lecture. Will acknowledged it and then continued the lecture but I think it softened the whole thing. Very funny stuff.
