It's so funny, as I'm reading these they mostly stem from the joy we've gotten from our kids or the kids in our lives. Too many people don't take joy in the way our kids see the world; I love it. So here is a couple of mine; one from the past that just got brought up lately due to my DGD and the other more recent.
First; my daughter has two kids; her daughter 17mos has been saying the 4 letter word S_ _ T. She told me, how do I punish her for it when she doesn't know what she says even though she always seems to bring it up at the right time. I told her a story about her older brother at the same age. He kept saying the same word and his father would say, he doesn't know what it means so you can't do anything. Even when his parents came to HI to visit and we went to a really nice resturant and my son dropped his fork and used the word, my husband said he doesn't know what it means. Then the last week we lived in HI we stayed at a cabin on the beach and one night our collie was out on the beach doing his business and my son pointed and said, "look Sammi Jo S_ _T", I looked at my husband and said, now you are going to still tell me he doesn't know what it means. That kind of stopped that one.

Next is my daughters 6yr old who always makes me laugh; First when my daughter found an old necklace of mine and he thought it was really pretty. I told him it was called tigers eye. He looked at me real serious and said now wait a minute, you are telling me that someone caught a tiger and took its eye out and made that necklace. I could only laugh.
Just lately while putting my contacts in he said I need contacts GiGi, I said no you don't. He said yes, because his eyes hurt. I told him that meant he needed to take a nap and that people wore contacts because they needed help seeing better. He said then he knew he needed contacts because when he closed his eyes to go to sleep at night he couldn't see a thing. I started laughing so hard and said honey, no on can when they are sleeping. I've had 6yrs of his doing things like this and I hope I have many, many more. I'll never grow tired of it and I hope his sister keeps me laughing as much as he has.
