My kid is three years old, and just like many kids, probably, she's into crunchy fried chicken. One night I was coaxing her home, that one trip to the fastfood is ok. The compromise: crunchy chicken "to go".
I presented the proposal when I stopped by a mini-drugstore for shampoo satchets. She thought about it for a moment, rolled here eyes around the shelves of OTC medicine and swept her hand and exclaimed, as of aghast, "Here?!"Why of course, silly me! So I hurry to explain that we will actually get it at the fastfood next door. What sort of wise kid retorts do you suffer? hahaha!

Today while I was waiting for the fx to get full to get to my destination, there was a cute little girl with her parents and all of a sudden she told her dad, your breath stinks dad, you didn't brush your teeth. That was really embarassing because kids would not lie. The dad handled it well though and kept telling his kid he brushed and she just didn't see him do it.

Yeah, that's funny ... at Dad's cost. She didn't see him brush alright, but she was able to smell him! hahaha... now he did not really address the issue, did he? :

Aren't kids fun? I try to write down all of the hilarious things that come out of my three-year-old daughter's mouth, because I don't want to forget a single one. My all-time favorite came just after she turned two years old. We were in the car and my husband said something to her about being a "little girl". She got very, very quiet back in her carseat, and I didn't realize she was sulking over it...until a few minutes later when she retorted, "I'm NOT little, I'm SHORT!" :)

Hahaha! She is something! She is the same age as my daughter and would you believe that big and small is also an issue with her? I am calling her now a big baby or a big girl. She insists that she's not, that she is still "little". Ok, now we've reached a compromise: she is a "little lady". hahaha! Thanks for the post! I enjoyed it a lot. I envy also you diligence in recording these gems of sparkling life! cheers!
