Out of the mouths of Babes
By: Hmmm Date: July 5, 2018, 9:28 am
---------------------------------------------------------
DD and "J" have been dating for about 9 months. Family came over
yesterday for the 4th. Our niece "G" is 8 and seems very
interested in her older cousin's relationship. Upon first
meeting J, G came to me and asked in a very conspiring voice if
J was DD's boyfriend and did I think they ever kissed.
Yesterday, G arrived and DD and J were in the kitchen with me
and a couple of other family members. After hugging everyone
hello, she asked J "are you going to become part of our family?"
J did a "Uh, uh, uh". I waited a bit before I let him out of the
awkward question with a "J's already part of the family, for
now."

What a nice way to put it! I will have to remember that.

G is going to be so embarrassed by this story when she starts
dating!
My friend's mother used to delight in telling every girl her
grandson was interested in a story about a play set of dishes he
got as a child. They had Muppet characters on them and he was
going to throw out the Miss Piggy ones, because they were for
girls. His grandmother said, "Well, you could keep them and let
(my DD's name) play with them. She's a girl."
He gave her the most offended look. Then he stated, " She's NOT
a girl. She's my friend."
She would tell this story and then say, "He was ahead of the
times. He didn't care that she was a girl."
Finally she told the story to his bride to be and he stopped her
and said, "I care that this one is a girl! Stop with the story!"

We rode a commuter train for several years with our children
(day care in the city). So we have lots of stories. But only two
right now.
One day my four year old pointed to a woman wearing slacks ...
with a belt ... and the shirt tucked in ... and said, "Look,
mommy. That lady has a baby in her tummy." I grabbed his hand
and turned him toward me (gently) and whispered "No, she
doesn't. We'll talk about it later." At which point he pointed
with his other hand and stated more loudly "Yes, she does.
Look." I couldn't grab both hands and cover his mouth, so I just
said it wasn't polite to point and we'd talk about it later,
then looked at her apologetically. She would not look at me.
The second: We were walking from day care to daddy's office one
day when there were lights and sirens. A woman walking the other
direction told us not to go that way, as there was shooting. (By
the way, this was a bank robbery in the downtown business
district in broad daylight. It was a safe area for the most
part.) We went the other direction, met up with daddy and safely
reached the train without further incident. But the impact on my
son was pretty monumental. He doesn't remember it now. But at
the time, he wanted to talk about it over and over. Here's what
I would say, "We were going to daddy's office and a bad man was
shooting, but the police got the bad guy and we were all safe."
Unfortunately, he'd wait until it was really quiet on the train,
then pipe up with "Tell me about the shooting!" We got the
strangest looks.

It was Thanksgiving 1985. DH, our 3 kids, and I had been invited
to dinner at my parents’ house. I think there were *13 family
members* around the table, enjoying the meal and being together.
Everybody was passing around the bowls of yummy food. My DSon
points to the only sweet gherkin pickle in the bowl with a stem
still attached to the end, and announces in a clear voice, “I
want that one. The one with the peter”.
*My parents, me, DH, our OldestDD(age 7), our DD&DS twins(age
almost 4), my sister, her DD(just turned 3), our brother&his
wife, their son(age just turned 4), their newbornDD(who was
napping in the other room)

I got told by friend's kid that I have cute feet unlike their
mother. :D Oh, and I make much better peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches, but I'm not allowed to tell her that!

My little one was either late 2s or early 3s when she came up
with this one
Little one: *puts her ponytail around on her face between her
mouth and her nose* "Look mama, I have a beard!"
Me: "Yes, like Daddy's beard!"
Little one: "No, like you're beard!"
Well.

I wanted to click the laughing smiley, but then that would have
felt mean. :-\

We bought a new tent on Saturday and older DD (8) spent most of
the day dragging every.single.cushion in the house out to the
tent to make it her new home. Blankets, dolls, flash cards,
stuffies, were all invited to the party.
Sunday, she had to drag it all back in, which she did after much
grumbling. That's when she started heavily breathing.. gasping
for breath, really. Looking at me with sad, puppy eyes,
wondering why... oh why?! was I perpetuating this horror on her?
After she put it all back, she started in on her basket of
laundry. Again, heavily breathing throughout the operation. By
the end, she said that she'd lost her voice and couldn't speak
above a whisper.
When she'd finished and put all her folded laundry away, she
flopped onto the couch and breathlessly said: "Mommy, can I have
a reward for all that hard work?" (Funny, her voice magically
reappeared for that.)
:o :o ;D
I actually was going to offer her one, but instead had to tell
her why asking for one isn't the best manners. (Yes, she did
receive a special reward in the end.)

It was about 1965. We were at a family party. My older cousins
were attending with their spouses and children.
Two of these kidlets were brothers aged five and three. The
older child was playing a bit rough with the younger one. At
some point, the younger boy looked up at his brother and asked
in a very adult way, ‘Why you so mean to me? I’m the only
little brother you got’.
