Those of you who have children know, these little creatures say some very entertaining things. I got some great advice from someone I work with. She speaks from experience, as her children are now in their late teens and early twenties, when she tells me, "Chuck, you need to write these things down."
I decided that I not only need to write these things down, but I need to share them with other parents as well. Most of these quotes will have no context, because, to be quite honest, we usually don't get any context from the kids. We just happen to hear a part of what they are saying, and they will almost never repeat the phrases or explain them to us.
We took a trip to the zoo this week, and the boy treated us to two gems:
As we were walking down the path Nate asked his Mommy why she had brown hair. She told him, "That is the color God made it." He then proceeded to look at a teenager who was passing by and commented to Carley (my wife) that "God made that girl's hair purple." Carley explained to him that sometimes people can change the color of their hair by using special dyes. He took a few minutes to think this over and said, "Oh, I guess Grandma must have chosen to turn her hair white then."
Here is another one that I caught on video. Click here to jump to the moment when we had the conversation, or watch the whole video below.
We took a train ride at the zoo, and as we drove past the elephants, I decided to ask Nate, "How do the elephants smell?" He looked up at me and very matter-of-factly stated "With their trunks." Even the strangers sitting with us on the train car got a good giggle out of that.
Those were our funny quotes this week. With kids around, you never know what to expect. Please let me know in the comments section any of the funny things the kids in your life have said. I'd love to hear your stories!
