Kids Say the Darndest Things

Will: Mommy, why do ninjas wear masks?
Emily: So people don't know who they are.
Will: Well, they could just not tell people their names!

Why didn't ninjas and superheros think of that?? :)

Abbyism of the Week

This one is worthy of resurrecting my favorite title of years' gone by (above).

We were driving in the car the other day and one of my favorite Cyndi Lauper songs came on, so I turned up the radio to indoctrinate the kids with some classic 80s music. Abby was sitting in the back, listening intently to the radio and to me. Then she asked, "Is she singing 'Ogres just want to have fun'?"

Um, that would be "O girls." We've got a long way to go!

Kids Say the Darndest Things

Emily: Uh oh, Ava's got Boba Fett (action figure).
Will: It's okay, she can play with it.
Abby: Do you want her to suck his face off?
Will: It's okay. Ava IS the Sarlacc.

I must admit, half of Will's hilarious comments come in his delivery. He says them so matter-of-factly. Of course, a 4 year-old knowing about a Sarlacc AND using it in the right context is pretty funny too. It makes his father proud!

6-6-6

Brad helps out a lot with folding the laundry (props to him!). We give him a hard time because seldom does a week go by when some of the kids' clothes (and sometimes mine!) don't end up in the wrong pile. We've had all combinations of kid pile crossovers. One of the funniest was when Abby got Will's jeans and didn't know it. She put them on and thought she had a new pair of capris! Luckily, I made the observation BEFORE we left for school that she was wearing her brother's pants. She promptly removed them.  Imagine the fun (and confusion) we had last summer when all the ladies in our household wore size 6 clothing. I'll give him credit--I didn't end up with any of Ava's clothes!
