The Inspiration

We were visiting my parents and my grandmother was there. As we were leaving to head home, our 5-year-old kept hugging his great-grandmother over and over and telling her, "I just can't stop hugging you!" My grandmother was loving it! After a couple of minutes of this, we were finally able to convince him to join us in the car to leave. Giving her one last squeeze, he said to his great-grandmother, "Bye! Call me when you die!"

This is our inspiration. The truly hilarious, way-better-than-fiction, actual sayings and experiences with the wee little folk around us is what this blog is all about. We invite you to share the joy!

Lost in Translation

Following the devastating tidal wave in Japan, even little children seek understanding.  From a friend:

Tonight L asked me what caused the salami in Japan to get so big. That's right, the salami.
 The Japanese probably wish it had been a salami!  Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to the victims of the tsunami.

Good Eats

From a friend:

Took C (3) to the mall with me. After a few hours of shopping, he wanted lunch. Where should we eat? He grabbed my hand and dragged me through the mall, finally stopping in front of a store. "Let's eat in HERE!" he said excitedly. We were staring into Victoria's Secret.
 Dad's response to the whole thing: "Like father, like son!"

No Guilty Pleasures Allowed!

From a pregnant friend:

Me: quietly enjoying my bowl of Frosted Flakes
P (6): "You know those aren't good for you, right?" 
grrrrr......

One Of These Things Is Not Like the Other...

Our 4 year old niece, B, introduced her mom to her pretend family today.  There was a sister with her name, a brother with her brother's real name, a dad with her dad's name... and a mom named Goo!

You know you must be a cool mom when you are the only one with an imaginary alter ego with a name like that!

Too True!

The holes in our 4 year old niece's pants keep getting bigger. When her mom questioned her why this was, she told it like it was:
"I like to STINK my fingers in them."
