Kids say the darnedest things! I know that we say this all the time, but lately, Madisen has been on a roll! Here are some of her current funnies:
- "Mom, Andrew is starting Kindergarten in the fall and he is not even reading yet! When I was going in to Kindergarten I could read and do math. Geeze, what is wrong with him?!" To this I replied that when Madi was Andrew's age she had a stay-at-home mom who had practically homeschooled her from the time she was three.
- "Mom! Jenna is talking about boys again! Makes me want to PUKE!" Oh to remind her of this when she is a teenager!
- "Mom, everyone knows that Andrew is your favorite no matter what you say. You just tell us we're all your favorites so we will still like you!" Oh boy...
- "Mom, Andrew is a little messy thing, covered in dirt, that should have to sleep outside with Stryker!" If only she could see what she looks like when she comes in from playing outside all day...oh wait she does!
- "Mom, dad is more playful than you. With you it's just work, work, work, oh and you're always tired because of the baby." Oh, I can't wait until she is a mother!!
- "Mom, Andrew won't stop following me and he is making me crazy!"
- "Dad, you're just lazy. All you do is sit around and watch tv or get on the KSL."
- "I'm dad's princess. KayDee and Jenna aren't" This was said to KD and Jenna to which they replied, "We are too!" Madisen then confirmed to them that they are not.
- "Oh great... Another brother. I think we should give him" this was proceded by her crying for two straight days. After she stopped crying she decided that she will train him to "Not be like Andrew" and then he can stay.
Alas, most of her blunt comments involve Andrew, due to how much she just loves him! I mean look at these two! Don't they look like the perfect little companions?!
So today, I am sitting at work and the phone rings. It's "home." Since the kids have been out for summer break I get these calls frequently about kids not doing chores, KD being mean, Andrew doing something Madi told him he couldn't do, etc. Today was one of the best ones yet, it went like this!
Me: Hello
Madisen: Mom will you tell my stupid sisters that I am to old
to take a bath with Andrew!!!
Me: Yes Madi, let me talk to KayDee
Madisen: Good! Here she is!
I mean isn't that just priceless?! Oh the things kids say...
I LOVE it! Oh when she reads this a few years from now. Ha ha ha!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that she keeps this around for when she has a daughter. Mom's old saying of "your kids being 10 times as bad as you were," boy would Madi be in for a good time! I love my little blunt, filterless 7 year-old!!
