Out of the Mouths of Babes
My cousin (from MI) is here for the week with her three kids (4 yo twins boy/girl and 18mo daughter-- my goddaughter). Because I'm working much of this week I spent the day with them yesterday. And I know many of you have kids, so this isn't unfamiliar to you, but I'm always pleased with how *funny* they are. They are really and truly FUNNY. A few conversations from our day out yesterday...
While walking through the UVM Campus
D: Where are we?
Me: We are at the University of Vermont
Both: UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT. What's that?
Me: It's college.
A: (Big Breath) We're at COLLEGE? My MOM DOESN'T EVEN KNOW!
At Burger King Jump Castle (please- - I know these things are germ-infested- hold the comments):
Me: Okay you guys, one more minute of jumping then we have to go.
(both kids come out, take a drink, then sneak back on.)
A: Um, Meg? You're supposed to say, "Uh, Uh, Uuhhhhhh, it's time to go."
While checking out of a store in the mall:
Me: Okay you guys, once we finish here we can go.
D: Go? But we haven't even checked out Kohl's yet.
I got this email recently- - given today's post I thought I would share it:
A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!

Spending the holidays with little ones is the best.
I spent it yesterday with a 20 month old and a 2 1/2 yr old. They were so wired. Today they just wanted to know what I was doing and why I wasn't coming in to see them. (I have a miserable cold).
