Words You Never Want to Hear

 

What is something you never want to hear from your 4 year old....”Mom, I need something to make my hand smell better.”   Uh-oh… Turns out she just wanted "ham sansitizer".

The Truth About Romney

Yesterday my ten-year-old daughter asked me if I knew that Matt Romney spells his name M-I-T-T. 

Bullying?

Jeremy:   Mom! My friends were kicking balls at me during recess. TWO hit me in the head.
Mom:      WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY WERE KICKING BALLS AT YOU??
Jeremy:   Yeah. They kicked balls at me almost the whole time. It really hurt.
Mom:      WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON WITH THIS??
Big Sis:    Jeremy, you were the goalie.

Super Sized?

Mom was in the bathroom and discovered there was no toilet paper.  She yelled out for her young daughter to bring her a roll of toilet paper out of the closet.  A few minutes passed when Mom heard a knock at the door.  There stood her daughter with a roll of paper towels and a roll of toilet paper posing a very important question:  "Do you need the small roll or the big roll?" 

Olympic UGGHH!

 My ten-year-old daughter and I waited all week to watch the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.  I soaked up the music and the pagentry.  She waited paitently hour after hour to see The Parade of Nations.  Finally...twenty-one letters into the parade...The United States of America enters the arena.  Eyes glued to the television my little diva checks out their outfits and remarks in disgust, "OMG!!!  Did you see those shoes?  They are totally theraputic (I think she may have been going for orthopedic here.)  I can't even look."  With that, she rolled over, snuggled under her blanket and drifted off to sleep.  U-S-A!   U-S-A!  U-S-A!

NO NEED TO SCREAM!

Olle is a student in one of my all time favorite Pre-K classrooms.  She is non-verbal, but sometimes it's just not an issue.  For example, the other day a classmate ran up to Olle and took the toy she was playing with.  She rushed up to him, wagged her little finger in his face with a diva head toss and let loose a fierce stream of non-words.  In a panic, the "toy thief" ran up to the teacher: 
 "MS. PAULA!  MS. PAULA! OLLE SAID SHE GONNA KICK MY BUTT!"

Sunscreen Poster Child

Sam thought he'd apply his own sunscreen. At least he won't get a sunburn...on his forehead.
