Some years ago when I taught 5th grade, I overheard two boys talking about communion at church.  One said to the other, “I like how they serve snack at church, I just wish it was a little bigger.”  The second boy replied, “Yeah, me too!”

When my son was 8 years old we were shopping together at Target.  He had a box of M&M’s and I had to keep myself from cringing every time he dropped one, picked it up, and proceeded to eat it.  It wasn’t until he spilled several M&M’s at the same time and was picking them all up that I said something…

Me: “Don’t you think that’s a little gross?  Those have germs all over them now.”

Son: “Yeah… but you can’t really taste them.”

I had to look away so he didn’t see me laughing.

I was kidsitting for a 9 year old girl once.  As I put her to bed one night, we were reading the book Bats on the Beach.  When we got to the second page where two bats are flying to the beach with a picnic basket I asked…

Me: “What do you think is in the basket?  Maybe food?”

Her: “Wine.”

LOL =)

We got my son a Mother Goose talking cassette player for Christmas (back in the day).  It was pretty cool, it would move and the cassettes would play from inside Mother Goose like she was reading the story.  Anyway, a couple days after Christmas…

Son: “Mom, I want joooze.”

Me: “Joooze?  Do you want to put on your shoes?”

Son: “No, joooze.”

Me: (clearly understanding) “Ohhh, you want me to get Mother Goose.”

Son: “NO!  Mom I want JOOOZE!  You know, in the jigerater.”

My son, Chad, threw a fit one night when we sat down for dinner.

Chad: “We always have chicken for dinner!”

Me: “Chad, these are pork chops.”

Chad: “Right!  We always have chicken.  Pork chop chicken, steak chicken, ham chicken, chicken chicken, it’s always chicken!”

Apparently we had meat for dinner pretty often.

All of my family was gathered together for Thanksgiving dinner.  My cousin’s wife is a vegetarian but my cousin himself is not.  So their 3 year old son Colin is sort of in limbo.

Colin: “Can I have more ham?”

Dad: “Sure.”

Mom: “Would you like some more green beans?”

Colin: “No, ham.”

Mom: “How about some salad?”

Colin: “No!”

Mom: “Pumpkin pie?”

Colin: (Slowly and clearly) “No, please can I have JUST ham?”

Dad: “That’s my boy.”
