It's been a little while since I have written down the clever, and down-right funny, things that my kids say. So, I thought I would post a few that have given me the giggles lately.
A few weeks ago Parker was the V.I.P. in his kindergarten class. As part of his special week, the whole family got to visit his class and tell them fun and interesting things about him. After we were done telling our stories, the class got to ask him a few questions. One child asked him what his favorite flavor of ice cream was. Parker's reply: "TWIST!"
Maybe we have been through the drive through window too many times. . . you know "What kind of ice cream do you want? Vanilla, Chocolate, or TWIST?"
Parker was trying to say 'open seasame' but couldn't quite say it correctly. That is when Connor took it upon himself to correct him.
"Parker it's OPEN SAYS ME! You know like, I say open and it does."
Recently we have taken our kids to do a little Christmas shopping. Like every good parent we made them swear to keep our Christmas Surprises a surprise. Yesterday, out of the blue, Parker came up to me and announced: "I hope that you and Dad aren't Santa Clause next year. These secrets are killing me!"
We can even put Avie in the mix this time. She only says a few words, but she can definitely communicate.
While trying to check out at the grocery store the other day, Avie stopped dead in her tracks by the candy bars. Eyeing a Hershey's Bar, she looked at me with big hopeful eyes.
"Not today Avie. Come on."
Avie: Scowls and picks it up.
"Put it back Avie. Let's go."
Avie: This time she adds a growl to her look of death.
Laughing, I say, "Okay, bring it here."
Avie gets a big smile on her face and hands me the candy bar. I promptly put it up with the rest on the groceries. This was the WRONG thing to do.
Avie: Gives me a HUGE scowl, screams, and walks herself right back to the candy bars again to pick up a new one. I guess she needed chocolate immediately. By this time, the person behind the checkout stand was in a fit of laughter. She might not say much, but oh boy can she get her message across. She isn't even 18 months old yet and already a diva. Oh what are we to do?
