When Kids Speak

Thursday, December 27, 2012

Daley: Did you get coal?

Me: For Christmas you mean? No..

Daley: Oh, so not yet this year. But you might!

The song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" was just on the radio.

Alec: Why would she want a hippopotamus for Christmas anyway? It wouldn't fit in the door.

A conversation the kids had in the car this afternoon

Elle: Alec, did you know Christmas is celebrating Jesus' birthday?
Alec: oh...wow...it is? So...was he alive last year then?

Me: It's time to go- nap time!

Alec: I'm not going to take a nap.

Me: Okay, well you don't have to nap, but you do need to rest your body-- so rest time.

Alec: I'm not going to rest either. I'll just call it (whispers) quiet time.

Kenna: I'm going to marry Zach.

Tan: Okay, but you know you're MY girlfriend, right?

Jack, after a 1 1/2 hour nap: That was NOT a good nap. No. It was an awful nap. AW, MAN!

After a discussion about airplanes-

Alexa: You have to keep an airplane door closed, otherwise you will float away.

Me: Where will you float to?

Alexa: The Balloon Farm!

Me: What is the Balloon Farm?

Alexa: Where all the lost balloons go!
