Kids Say…

I have been tracking the things my daughter (who is 6 at the time of this initial post) says/asks. Not everything mind you, just the stuff that makes me see the world through her eyes.

Since I have been able how to get this blog online, it gives me the perfect venue to keep track of what she says in a place where everyone can enjoy it (instead of the .txt file on my desktop). Some of my favorites so far are;

• “I’ve been practicing all my life…well, not all my life. The first day was last Sunday.”
• “When people go to heaven, do they bring their clothes?”
• Her – “Dad, I got diarrhea.”
  Me – “Don’t worry baby, everyone gets diarrhea.”
  Her – “Even Chinese people?”
• While driving we saw two emergency vehicles with lights and sirens blaring. She started laughing and said, “Daddy, did you see that Policeman chasing that fire truck.”
• At age 5 – “One of my friends said I ruined her life.”
• “If you pull down your pants at school you get attention… (laughs from the entire family). Um, I mean dattention.”
• From the other room I hear;
  Her – “PU, that’s nasty…”
  Me – “what’s the matter baby?”
  Her – “I tooted in my own face.”
• “You mean Canadians can speak English!?”

Update – 11/20/2005

We were having a discussion on how to spell names, she is really into spelling, and I asked her how she would spell my proper name.
Me – “Well sweetie, how do you spell Michael?”
Her – “M-i-k-e-o-l”
Me – “Actually it is M-i-c-h-a-e-l”
Her – “Ooohhh, I was so close.”

I wish I had her confidence.

One day, she is going to find these and probably get really embarassed(or mad). Can’t wait to hear what she says then. 😉
