Kids' Connections

There's so much I would have loved to post over the last few months, but true to my word, I knew I wouldn't be anything close to regular about this. But for my own records I do want to post something funny that Adaline said last night.

She is recently potty trained and needed to use the bathroom, so I was in there helping her. I'd just seated her on the potty when she took both her hands and pushed her hair out of her face and said,

"Me have long hair. And you. And Jesus."

Hilarious! But, why, you ask does my daughter choose to include Jesus in this list?

A day or two earlier in the week I was fixing her hair and I can't remember if she she asked to have her hair like the boys' or their hair like hers, but whatever the question my answer was, "we can't because just girls have long hair." Immediately she looked up at the picture of Jesus on her wall and said,

"Uh-uh!! Jesus has long hair. Him a boy!"

She got me. I couldn't argue with her. And while the initial incident was funny to me, the recall last night on the potty was even funnier!

PS-I have lots of these little funny comments and you may start to see them more on my blog. It is one of my favorite parts of being a mother getting to hear the amusing things that come out of my children's mouths. I try to write them in my journal and in theirs, but I'm thinking that my blog may become my place of choice for recording them.

  1. Children can always outwit their parents! We read from the kids journals at night on occasion, and that is their favorite part--hearing all the funny things they've said in the past!

  2. Linda! Yea! I can't wait to get your "Christmas" card. Ours are always late too - if they weren't, they wouldn't be from us!

    Hope all's well for you guys - I think of you often! We haven't gotten over to Raleigh very much in the last year, and when we have, it's only been a day trip. A quick there and back.

    Anyway, maybe the new year will bring a visit or two your way! (Or ours!!)

  6. I love when they're little and they really contemplate life more. And Jesus more... Miss those times. Josh will go through that soon, but I'm afraid my other three are on to other phases. (sigh) They grow up too fast.....
