One son told me he loved me more than the new Godzilla!
My son Jimmy and I play this little game at bedtime. I tell him how much I love him, and smother him with hugs and kisses. I tell him "I love your more than anything" and he always replies "No, I love you more" and we continue on for a few mintues.
Sometimes we will say things like "I love you more than the dog" or "more than strawberry milk". The best one I heard was last night when he said "I love you more than the new Godzilla". Words to warm a mommy's heart.

My daughter was about 17 yrs. old and was annoyed with me because something she wanted was in the dirty clothes. So I said if you need it so badly go wash it, okay fine she said. A few minutes later she came upstairs and said which one is the washer? I knew it was time I stopped doing everything for them.

My seven year old came home one day very down. "This is terrible--I don't feel good, Dad threw up, my sister has a sore throat, and you have cancer!"
(put everything in perspective, and assumes we're all going to be better!)
I asked the 10 year old if she minded if I went bald when I picked her up at school. "Well, mom, you are bald, so OK!" she enjoyed telling her friends, "My mom is bald" and having them not believe her until I showed up.
Take care,

your kids are cute---no matter what those pictures cost, they are priceless!
Our school pictures are a hoot. My dh works at the school, so always had his photo with the kids when they were tiny. (usually they were scared of the photographer so the terror is showing on their faces. the younger had a such a look in kindergarten photo, you would not want to meet her in a dark alley, I tried to urge a retake but she said "Some smiles are like that". The Mona Lisa, it wasn't.)
Take care,
--Hattie
You look so glam! -
I found out from my daughter
that tampons can be very useful for other things.
She spends endless hours
at the bathtub having her bubble bath
and playing with her pollypocket's, the small tiny dolls.
One day, guess she was around 6 years old
just had got into primary school,
she had been for hours in the water and
it was enough, so I opened the door of the bathtub
to make her come out once and for all,
of course: - Mom, five minutes more pleeeeeessssse ?!
When I looked to the water,
there were something weird in there ...
- Oh!! That's my submarines and boats, I had nothing for this so
I found this super cool things in your closet! Aren't they great?
You just have to be careful on not to take the plastic out,
either way they do not float!!!
And I for some seconds ...
thinking I was ahead of trouble on having to find
a good explanation for those things.
Then wherever we go she has to take her small dolls
and ... after she discovered the submarines,
I had to be careful during months,
on not letting her get out of home with that.
Well ... one day I missed ...
we were at a restaurant
and she put some couple of tampons
on the table to play with ...
When I noticed it was already late ...
Everyone was staring at us.
Janis, great pic.
Hugs! ... -
Kids say (and do) the darndest things.
My 17 year old son loves to play practical jokes. So, he and some friends entered the 7th grade class (at the beginning of the school year so these kids were very naive) and told them they all had to bring tunafish sandwiches to school. Now, the teacher was in the room at the time and thought it was funny but didn't say anything to her class. The next day, parents were calling the school complaining and tons of tuna sandwiches were made and brought!!! My son and his friends got in big trouble!
Later in the year, my son decided to take all the plants outside from one hallway to get watered by the rain!!! Teachers did not take kindly to this, either.
Where's their sense of humor????

We had a problem with ants in our old home. One day my son (he was 4) was playing on the floor near the door. I couldn't tell what he was doing. He came up to me and said,"Mom, ants smell funny." I said, "How do you know?" He said he squished them with his finger and smelled it!
I still smile when I think of that... -

One time when my brother was about six, my brother ran out of shampoo. He complained to my Dad who said, "When I was a boy, we used bar soap." John said, "And look what happened to you." (Pops was bald.) Too funny.

I have one from my neice. She came home from pre school and asked what headlights were? My sister began to explain and she said well some boy in my class has them and I kept looking all day long but I guess he never turned them on.
She was also the one that in elementary school they were discussing nick names and did anybody have one. Well she speaks up and says hers is Bud. The teacher says oh how nice like a rosebud and she says nope like buddddddweeeeiiiissseeerrrrr! My sister could have died when that note came home. They didnt even drink so imagine the look on my sisters face.
My son and I was driving behind a dually truck one day and he announced that the truck was really mad. I said huh,,what do you mean? He quietly said cause its all puffed up like a bullfrog.
I also had to explain to my son when he was about 7 that our male puppy had gone to the vet for an operation and that I had picked him up but we had to be gentle with him. I carefully picked my words to explain that he had been cut on and so forth. My son says oh, he got his nuts cut off???? My mouth dropped and I almost ran off the road but I said yep son, I think you got it.

My Daughter Viola had what the school called a speech problem. It all stemmed from the fact that when she was little she was around my sister who has cerbal palsy and the babysitter who was a Portarican from New Jersey. so she really just had an accent. But at any rate her sister and cousins always got a kick out of asking her what was on her face? "Fuckles" she would reply she ment Freckles!
