Favorite Kid Quote of the Day

Yesterday, my friend Grace spent some time helping her daughter with homework. While they were writing, the daughter says: "Mommy, how do you spell dot-com?"

A sign of the times! Hahahaha! Happy Thursday!

I tell ya - kids just CRACK ME UP! My friend Towera shared this with me today...

Preparing 4 dinner... my 5 year old niece sees me marinating "beef." She asks me, "Auntie, what are you doing?" Since I am too tired to think, I tell her, "its chicken..." But before I can correct myself, she responds, "Oh... is that the cow from the chicken?"

Hahaha! What a great laugh for the day!

My friend had a conversation with her 5-year-old daughter, Haillee, today. It went like this:

Haillee asked her mom what a "period" was. Her mom asked her where she heard about it... Haillee said, "You know, mom... when I read!" "Phew!" said Haillee's mom. "...was sure glad I hadn't launched into the OTHER "period" conversation!"

Priceless.

A while ago, I used to babysit an amazing 4-year-old kid named Chase. Over the past week, his attitude wasn't quite the best - he'd been fighting with other students and not doing his schoolwork or participating in activities. So, after picking him up from school one day, I asked him to tell me about his day. Here's the extent of the conversation.

Me: Hey homie! How was school today?
Him: Okay. But I didn't get in trouble today! (as he munches on a peanut butter cracker)
Me: That's awesome!!
Him: You wanna know why? (totally excited)
Me: Sure, buddy!
Him: Because Jason made me upset today and I almost got in trouble, but then I remembered what my mommy read to me last night about loving my friends and so I didn't get upset at Jason and fight or be mean. (all in one breath) And you wanna know something else?
Me: Sure!
Him:

"For if we love one to another, then we will be much happy."

...I couldn't have said it better myself.

This one turned my hectic-not-so-good-rough-day into a smile...

[all in one breath]

"So today was my first day at kindergarten and you know what I did at lunch time? I shared my food with Allison because Allison didn't like anything she was eating, and I said to her, Allison we're gonna be best friends because when I don't want my food, I know you'll share with me too. I like to share because it makes people happy. Thank you Jesus because I just love my heart..."

My friend's 3-year old nephew was talking to his mom, but his mom could not hear him. When she said, "Speak up Benjamin," the 3-year old replied:

"I will not repeat myself. I will speak up so as to be heard!"

"Well actually, I didn't want to watch a movie today. I just wanted to read the story of Noah and the animals. I have to know everything about him so I can talk to him when I get to heaven."

My friend's daughter said this to him:
