Things Our Kids Say

March 20, 2009 by Tracey 4 Comments

Oh, to be as honest and transparent as my younger daughter when she speaks!

On the recent occasion of having on a new outfit and modeling a new hairdo: “I just love standing in front of the mirror and admiring myself for hours.”

On being told she had a dusting of freckles across the bridge of her nose: “I don’t think they add much to my complexion, so I want to wash them off.”

On being sent back to the dining room to finish clearing her place at the table, when she was trying to chat in the living room with dad and mom: “I don’t think I was invited, but I just slipped into the conversation.”

Being able to laugh and enjoy our children is one of the finer things in life!

    Super cute! Good for you to get these sayings written down before you forget them. I definitely need to work on capturing those finer things!

    I love it when anyone is this straightforward with me.

    And then I pray my delight with it doesn’t shut-down the flow.

    I love the first one about admiring herself! haha. One of my best friends’ little sister once looked at a picture I took of her and said, “Wow. I knew I was pretty, but now I know I am BEAUTIFUL!” haha.
