JFF: Honest Kids!

Yesterday the whole family went to the grocery store, and we happened to see my husband's partner and his wife and daughter going in as well. So, introductions of the kids, etc...my oldest goes, "Yeah, this is my daddy, and he did SUCH a stinky toot in the car....and he's afraid of roller coasters....but me and mommy aren't afraid...and...." My son is a fantasic ice breaker :)

Speaking of pajamas, when my youngest was in 1st grade she made a little book about mommy for Mother's Day. She wrote "Mommy sleeps in her underwear" and drew a lovely picture. I'm sure the teacher died laughing. I guess I should be grateful she didn't write something even worse...

Ha! Earlier this summer I had to explain to my son that when I was a kid watermelons had big black seeds in them. Just for fun I told him that back then kids would tell each other that if you swallowed a seed a watermelon would grow in your stomach.
About a week later my parents came to visit. My father had surgery about 10 years ago that altered his metabolism and caused him to develop a large pot belly. While swimming with Grandpa this visit my son looked down at his belly and asked him if he swallowed a watermelon seed when he was a kid! Grandpa is now referring to his belly as "The Watermelon"

In third grade my daughter wrote a Valentine's Day poem for & about me (she's now 16) in it she said soemthing about my nose looks like an ice cream cone (upside down she explained). She also wrote that her mom loves her, her brother and her dad, her mom knows how to cook good lobster and her mom wishes she had a bigger house! It was written in a heart in a metal frame so we have it forever. When ever it comes out for Valentine's day we get a chuckle out of it.

My friend was rocking her little girl to help her fall asleep for her nap was and was singing softly when he daughter reached up, but her hand over her mom's mouth and said "stop mommy, your air from your mouth stinks"... Gotta love them!

Kids are *honest* about everything when they are little. Mine are older now, but when my son was in kindergarten, he came home and told me that he told his class his mommy doesn't wear pajamas to bed....great...lol =)

Everything. Really everything. She's only three and doesn't really get the concept of words can hurt feelings. You ask her a question, she will give you an honest answer.

But to be fair I am the same way, I just am better about making the words nicer other than just blurting them out.

My dad was in the hospital, and we skyped with him. The next day she tells her gym teacher that "Paw Paw was wearing a dress." I had to explain that he was in a hospital gown. lol

About a month ago when my SIL, one of her daughters (Who is 5), and I were baking cupcakes for my wedding reception her daughter made a comment like this.

I was showing her how the office chair that I was sitting on moved up and down when you pull the lever. Here is the conversation that followed:

Her - Oh, so you need to have weight to do it
Me - Yep
Her - *With a frown on her face* Oh. I don't have any weight. But, my M. has a LOT of weight. She is trying to lose some of it, but I think that she will find it again.

LOL!!!

My daughter told me I was skinny and then turned to her dad and told him he was fat. LOL She also comments on my clothes whether she likes them or not. She will flat out tell me she doesn't like a shirt.

The other day my 3 year old crawled into bed with me first thing in the morning. I said "Hi honey" then she said (while plugging her nose) "Mom, you smell like stink." I had to crack up! I guess she doesn't like the smell of morning breath just like the rest of us. LOL

ha ha, last week we took the girls to this jumpy place. After we got home my four year old tells me "M., I saw the lady with the backpack go into the plaything, but you can't go in there cause you're a big M.!" So funny!

My 8 yr old told the guy i'm seeing that i fart a lot. Little brat. lol
