The Things They Say

It's always been said that if you want the truth, you should ask a child. My children are no exception. Especially my oldest. They are just full of "truth", and you never know what they will say. I've been keeping things written down lately.

• When telling me about a show. "Mom, there was a unicorn. His name was unicorn, and he had a unicor..... a.... a.... well, a corn on his head."

• "Mom, he doesn't need that toy because he has a MINILLINION!!" (That's million if you didn't catch it. 

• "Mom, your belly is squishy. Do you got another baby in there?"  Thanks a lot, kid.

• A visiting pastor asked my oldest "Are you a Diva?".  "No, that's not my name." He then told her, "I like your bracelet. You look like a million bucks."  She looked at him confused and said, "I'm not money." He replied, "but that's a compliment." She was almost hurt now and said, "I'm not a compliment, either." 

• In learning a new language I occasionally try to talk with the kids and share the words we know. My son told me the other day, " Mom, stop. You don't know howa speak Pochageeze". They're just so brutally honest. 

• The other day, one of my kids said, "I need a shower because I smell like poop". I asked why and they said "because I played with my poop".  Oh....dear.... 

• We were making chocolate milk one morning and I was asked, "Mom, where did you put the cow sugar?" speaking of the chocolate powder.

• My daughter had a tape measuring and was measuring my son's height. She looked at the tape measure and said, "wow, you are worth 20 reais!" . That's only like $5 after the exchange rate. 

And for your morning cuteness. 

They actually asked to match that day. 

so, what is the strangest thing you've heard this week??
