"Wow! You have HUUUGE eyeballs!"

[MosMom]

This is what my 4 year old told the woman who works at the eye doctor about 20 minutes ago. Ever get that look where you are smiling yet you know someone can see complete horror in your face? Yeah, I had that look.

She had glasses that magnified her eyes. The thing is, he said it like he thought she was the COOLEST! He was thoroughly amazed! My only hope is that she didn't understand him but it was pretty clear.

I didn't even know what to say. I quickly filed through my head for what would be the most appropriate thing to say when your son tells someone they have huge eyeballs but the best I could come up with was ushering him out quickly while DH finished making his appointment.

The reason we were there is a whole other story. DH was in the bathroom and one of the lenses popped out of his glasses and fell into the vent. It is long gone.

OMG! Too funny!

The things kids say. I'm always afraid my kids are gonna let a big one loose like that. I teach kids though and I have heard much worse!

LOL

Thanks for the chuckle

Once when DS was 4, I was at the eye doctor and the technician asked him if he wanted to see mommie's eyeball close-up. DS walked around to the screen shot of my magnified eye, and shrieked (examining room door wide open, thank you very much) "EWWWWWWW mommy - I can see the blood-cracks in your eye!!!!"

Time for visine, I guess!

Must be something with 4 year old boys and eyeballs. I talked to him earlier about it and told him that if he sees something he thinks is neat about another person it is best to just keep that in his own head. He said "Okay, I'll just be quiet about it. But Mom, I have little eyeballs".

Kids are the best!!! It's great when it's some else's kid that says those kinds of things! I can feel their pain with my laughter. I have one of those kids that when she opens her mouth I am scared of what will come out.

This reminds me of the time that DD was about the same age. We were at Target looking at some sheets, when an overweight came into the same aisle. DD said to me, "Mom, that man ate a lot of food." I pretended not to hear and kept looking at the sheets, which only made her say it louder and the guy heard her. I proceeded to quietly and gently cover DD's mouth, hoping to give her a hint, but she became upset. She asked me why I covered her mouth and started to cry... Yeah, forget the sheets! We just left.

Last time we went out to dinner, DH and my 4 year old were coming out of the men's restroom and an obese man was going in. My son said, "Dad! Why is that WOMAN going in the men's restroom? That's a WOMAN dad!" We later determined that DS thought the man had breasts.

NOT cute and VERY embarrassing...............

 

[tevagirl]

He probably added on another 50 bucks to the bill!

 

[Daxx]

That is hysterical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ElizaB39]

"Aren't they SO... COOOOL?!"

Maybe this is what I would say?

 

[TheOtherVillainess]

That totally cracked me up. I had to cover my mouth to muffle the sound, so I wouldnt' wake DS up.

We went back today for Chris' appointment and I was terrified because the woman was there again.

I could see him watching her with that quizzical look on his face but he kept it all in his head this time!! Yeahhhh E!!

When we walked out he said "I still like her eyeballs Mom".

 

[ElizaB39]

I Love it! What a great kid!

yeah.. when I took my son on his first day of preschool... the lady in the office was not the same race as we are....he's NEVER been around people w/different colored skin than us and he HAD to blurt out...."why is your nose so big?"...I about DIED!!!! She was super nice...and I just told her... he doesn't get out much she laughed and explained to him that all people are different and some people have big noses and some people have little noses...just like everything else. We're all different It was hilarious....but I can just imagine the look on my face when that came out of his mouth!!!
