Quoting the Cute: Page Fifteen

Seven-year-old:  "Dad's never going to pay me for picking dandelions because you keep taking all of his money!"

One day my four-year-old told me she wanted snowflakes for breakfast.  It took me a moment to figure out that frosted flakes was what she wanted.

And my two-year-old son calls Rice Krispies "hippies."

My seven-year-old loves to tell jokes.  The part that always makes me laugh though is when she asks if we get it and we always say yes but then she explains the punchline anyway.

Four-year-old:  "I amn't!"  (Her big sister used to say this too when she was four!)

My kids (except the baby) went to stay with our friends overnight and for a day while we took a day trip for a job interview.  When we picked them up, my two-year-old was suddenly speaking in sentences.  I asked my friend if they gave him speech therapy while we were gone.

Sometimes it sounds like my seven-month-old baby is saying "Mama" and when he does I can't keep from kissing his soft little face.
