Kids Say The Darndest Things

21 May 2000 - Kid's Say The Darndest Things
Today my children were watching their "Prince of Egypt" video. I sat down and watched a few minutes of it. It reminded me of something Hannah used to say when she was about 3 years old. She was memorizing the story of Moses and the burning bush. This is how she put it; "God said to Moses 'Take off your shoes because you are standing on holes in the ground.'"
Then I started trying to remember funny things the children had said. I remember when Paulette's grandson was born. He was named Colton, but they said they intended to call him Colt. That next morning when Hannah got up (she was still 3 at the time) I told her that she had a new baby cousin and his name was Colt. She looked at me with an odd expression on her face and asked, "Kim had a baby horse?"
We were learning about mammals several years ago. Jamison listened in although he was too young to understand, or so I thought. He was 2 or 3 years old. I told Hannah and Jordy that mammals had hair. A bout a week later we visited Calvin's uncle. This man is totally bald. He shaves his head every morning. We hadn't been with them long when Jamison told us that Uncle WC wasn't a mammal cause he didn't have hair.
All during the same week Jordy realized that his Granddaddy Sinclair didn't have a leg. He had just never really noticed. He also saw my dad take his teeth out. Then within a few days Calvin showed them how he could remove his eye. Jordy came running to me and asked, "What part can you take off Mommy?" Guess he thought all adults had removable parts. LOL.
The kids say something cute or funny everyday. And I think I'll remember them forever. But I don't. I wish I had been more careful to write them down. I do have somethings recorded but not nearly enough.
