Kids really do say the darndest things....

Today I began my job at Hallmark, and I couldn't help but notice this...
A boy, probably around 11-12, was standing by the Valentine's Day cards-specifically the one's for parents and grandparents. He was on his cell phone and I overheard:

"Man...this isn't cool...all of these Valentine's Day cards are all about...love and stuff....."


It's little things like that that make me smile

Yeah they due as a K-8 teacher I hear them say the darndest things all the time. Some say to me "Mr. D you smell like my Daddy" (not sure if thats good or not ) others tell me that I look like their Daddy, but usually its their honesty that gets me going. "Mr. D you look sad today, are you ok?" thats what makes me smile.

I was substituting for a Special Education class, and it just started to snow heavily, and one little guy looked outside and yelled "Oh my goodness, It's LIZARDING"

Isabella (5 1/2) said yesterday: "Grandma, can you look at the back of my jeans? I'm not sure I got my belt through all the hula-hoops."

We were watching Survivor. They were showing a closeup of one of the guys (Ethan I think) sweating profusely.

My 4 year old says "His skin is LEAKING!"

My DD once said that something was "down-side-up".

My mother tells the story of how, when I was around kindergarten age, I was watching footage of a volcano. I said that it wasn't lava, but "sa-lava" the volcano was spitting out.

Back in Nov I hurt my back and was not able to move much. My Dad came over to help with the kis while DH was at work. My DD 5 had grandpa play house with her. I was really medicated and thought I was hearing things when she said..."Ok I am gonna go out shopping now, you watch the kids. " That was all fine, but then she added..."Come over here ya big stud and kiss me!" My DS told me that it was part of a quick trip ad on the radio. KIDS!

My dd, 10, said to me just the other day.."You know Mom, I think it's great that Meme is watching over me all the time and stuff. But, sometimes I like my privacy. Do you think she sees me when I'm doing stuff in private??" Hmmmm.

When my 5 yr. old granddaughter was over here before Christmas she asked me if I would type her letter to Santa on my computer.. After I was finished, she said, "Okay - now hit the email button.." At that point I began to explain that it was really better to send the letter by regular mail - straight to the North Pole - at which point her parents, who were standing nearby totally agreed.. My son-in-law even went so far as to offer to mail it from work the next day..

Fast forward a few days later and they're at the mall and they take her to see Santa.. She gets on his lap and he says, "And what would you like for Christmas?" She looks him dead in the eye and says, "Didn't you READ my letter?" At that point Santa starts stammering and says, "Uh, I think maybe it hasn't arrived yet.." My granddaughter gets OFF his lap and as she's walking away says to her parents, "I told you we should have gone with the email !!!!! "

Kids - ya gotta love 'em !!!!!!!

I was on an airplane and there was a couple in front of me with a really cute little girl. They had a couple of those big, gooey cinammon rolls that they were sharing.
The little girl said, "Mom, I have to go to the bathroom. I'm stinky."
Mom and Dad didn't say anything.
The little girl was insistent.
"Mom! Ihave to go to the bathroom. I'm stinky!"
Her folks continued to munch on the cinnamon roll, probably hoping that the plane could go mach 10.
The little girl wasn't going to be ignored.
"MOM!!! I HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!!! I'M STINKY!!!"
Mom figured it was time to address the issue with her daughter.
"Dear, you are not stinky. Your hands are messy from the cinammon roll. The correct word is sticky. Your hands are sticky. Here are some napkins to clean your hands."
The little girl pondered this for a few seconds.
"No, Mom, I already wiped off my hands. I need to go to the bathroom because I'm stinky!"
And she sure was and Mom caught a whiff and then they were off to the bathroom moving faster than the plane.
I laughed so hard that I spilled my Diet Coke and then I had to go to the bathroom because I was stinky...er, I mean sticky. Whatever.
