Children can say some funny stuff; and my son is no
different. I recently decided to document and try to keep track of some of the
funnier things he says. So here goes:
One day, when about 3 or so he
suddenly, out of the blue, asked me, "Mommy?
Will you teach me how to fly?" [Sure,
no problem - !!!!!]
(At 5): "When clouds go away from here, they just go to get more water.
Then they come back and it rains." Now
how's that for being astute?
One day recently, he kept climbing up on the kitchen table and I kept
telling him to get down and quit doing that. He repeatedly ignored me and was
uncharacteristically defiant. Apparently, my eyes got wide with disbelief at his
behavior. The next thing I knew he piped up, "Mommy, let's play a game to see whose eyes can get biggest." ...to try the most patient of souls--
First day of preschool: A teacher was taking some kids to show them
where the bathroom was and asked my son if he wanted to come along. When he showed
some reluctance she said, "It's ok, I'm a teacher." My sons's reply:
"Oh, you're a teacher? I thought
you were just the Tour guide."
ROFL!
Here's a good one: "I make
up my dreams as I go."
My mom's favorite: "Grandma, I know you're a girl, 'cause you're not a
boy. But you're not really a lady, because you're old. I guess you're sort of
an experiment."
Here's a story he told me
recently (5 yrs.): "Once upon a time when I was all grown up... I was a
baseball player. And I hit the ball really hard. And it went way, way up in
the sky..... and GOD CATCHED IT! Then, God tried to throw it back to me, but it went
and it HIT THE MOON! So then I got in my racecar and I went zoom, zoom up to the
moon, and I got the ball!" (tee
hee.)
Oh, and one more: After
using markers to draw all over his body, he told me that he just wanted to make himself
pretty. I told him that he was pretty already, that he was a pretty boy. He
said, "Well actually, I'm just
charming."
