We're in Meijer the other day getting groceries. I usually generally don't go there, but we did last week. They have a pony ride there that is 1 penny to ride.

We're waiting in the check out line and Nat remembers that this is the place with Sandy the pony. She wants to ride after checking out and I remember that I didn't grab my change purse when we came in. I say, "Oh sorry honey I wasn't even thinking and left my change purse in the car. We won't be able to ride it today." She bums out a little and hangs her head.

It's our turn in the line. She talks to the cashier like always, "What's your name? Do you have a dog?" , then, "My name is Natalie. (Hangs head in sadness) My mom doesn't have any money."

Um... HELLO kid! Let me clarify!! I don't have any CHANGE thank you very much! I can't write down fast enough all the things she's been saying lately. We were practicing words and sounds yesterday together. Got to letter 'P' and after several different 'p' words and a lull in the conversation she says with great excitement and that lightbulb face, "Penis starts with P!!!" Yup, it sure does!

Actually the cashier DID give her a penny afterward, which was very nice, so she got to ride after all.

Those are sooo funny! I think the more verbal a child is, the more opportunities for those kinds of "funnies". The 3 and 4yo kids I work with are always spouting off the funniest things. I love to come home and share them with my family.

That was nice of the cashier! The "p" word funny was pretty funny!

Once I went to Starbucks and I was a penny short to get a chai latte. The guy behind the counter threw in a penny for me, too! LOL!

When my dd was about 3 we were up at the church. I was making copies and she was hanging out with our pastor (the man who married us). Anyway, she was just going along and said "hey, you know I was in my mommy's tummy when she married daddy." I about died. First this statement is not true, second the pastor really knows this, he can do the math. I asked her why she thought that, she said, "well you married daddy a long time ago, and I was in your tummy a long time ago, so it was the same".

Out of the mouths of babes!

Deanna/Kaye - I can SO relate. When Jen was 3/4/5 y/o, she would go to pre-K or K, and tell her teachers every little detail about what happened in our home, or what she overhead in conversations between her dad and me. VERY embarrassing, to put it mildly.

And it's funny how they misinterpret things, simply because they don't understand or comprehend them. My X was an engineer who was the dept. manager of the hospital maintenance/building engineering services when the kids were young. When Jeff was in K, he told his teacher and class that his dad was the engineer on a train, and drew a picture of a train with his dad standing next to it. LOL

All I can say is, when you have little ones, get used to it! LOL
