little ones say the cutest things

Goodness, reminds me of the time my son was in kindergarten and at least a half dozen girls were saying they wanted to marry my son, and even some of the moms were on the same bandwagon. was a bit scary. Then two years later one of the sisters of those girls wanted to marry my youngest son when she met him in kindergarten. Thankfully we changed schools (for other reasons). I can't imagine how that would have played out. But they are both in college now and unmarried still!!! Phew!!! Both of them have very nice girlfriends though.

My daughter had to have a C-section to deliver number 2 child as she had one for number one. Her little girl who was 6 when the number 2 was born knew mom had surgery to have the baby. Some time later she asked her mom if there was a way to keep from having babies because she was not ever getting cut open.

This same little girl who is 8 now came home from School last year and told her mom that if either she or her brother had to be kidnapped she thought it should be her because they had had her longer than him.

It is really scary how much our children are being influenced by "outside sources". The only redeeming fact is that almost always what they say is said with innocence. Hopefully that will remain so but I really hope parents monitor what and when their children see and hear things.

My 12 yr old GS is a girl magnet. Every where he goes girls come running to him. It great that right now he can leave them behind and not think about them for awhile..

Too much TV and vidoes and so many don't monitor what they watch, and sometimes it if coming from thier friends who are not being monitored. My girlfriends daughter came home and asked her mom how babies were born, so and so told her the man had to___________ and if that was the case she was was never having babies. She was 7 at the time.

Last time I was visiting I got a chuckle when my four year old granddaughter put on lipstick before pre-school. (Done in typical four year old fashion, all over her face - LOL) Then at school she waits by the door till her little friend comes. (I forget his name.) SIL is not looking forward to her teen years!

When my daughter was 3 1/2, she went on vacation with my mom, grandma and 2 sisters. My oldest little sister was 12 at the time. One day, my daughter grabbed my sister by the had, led her to the door and turned and told my mom that they were 'going to the beach to look for hunks for Belinda".
Where do they come up with this stuff?

Funny! But I think he just likes red, no matter where he sees it.

I totally agree, I am a retired 1st grade teacher, and retired in 2004, but some of the things the kids came up with then were scarry, even more so now. Tooooo much down time in front of the t.v. or game toys, and not enough outdoor play time. Most kids now days do not really know how to play. My children only watched Sesame Street when they were young then outside to play. They had dogs, swingset, trikes, bikes, and plenty of outdoor toys, and a swimming pool. We had a 6' chain linked fence surrounding the back yard, and I kept a close eye on them from my kitchen window if I wasn't out back with them. Dogs were very good baby sitters too. NO they were not allowed in the pool unless Dad or Mom was sitting by the pool. Glad both are grown now.
