As we walked out of a store into the bright outdoors, my four year old daughter, Sylvia, said, “The sun is melting my eyes." We laughed so hard. So now when it is bright outside our new expression is "the sun is melting my eyes". ~ Andrea Jones ~ A few weeks ago my daughter needed some blood tests. She became hysterical once she understood what was going on, and she was too strong for us to hold her arm down on the table. Mortified, I tried to discretely bribe her with candy in front of the technician to get her to cooperate. Getting frustrated, I blurted out, "What's it going to take?" Through sobs she answered, "Money!" ~ Cheryl Baltes ~ When my girls had just turned 2, I tried to teach them to answer, "I'm-2-years-old" when somebody asked "How old are you?" Of course, being 2, Scout left off the words that just didn't seem that important, so it came out, "I two old", which always raised a chuckle. ~ Annabel Ng-Quick ~ The first story was by my daughter Emily who was 3. After singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" she got a worried look on her face and said, "Mom, we forgot our butts!"***The other was by my nephew Jake in Illinois who was 4. One time I called their house when I was about 8 months pregnant and he answered the phone. I asked him how he was and he said good, and then he said to me, "But, I was wondering if your baby hatched yet?" ~ Sarah Kirchart ~ |
