Funny Times!

KIDS...THEY SAY THE DARN-EST THINGS. HERE'S WHAT OURS HAVE SAID:

Kalia: "I'm sure glad my Mom & Dad are smart."
Mom: "Why do you say that?"
Kalia: "Because R*** & L*** said their Mom & Dad are not very smart. So I'm glad mine are." Age 6 (1st Grade)
...........................................................................................
"Kalia, you don't need to hug me. You hug me at school and it's SO embarrassing!" Beckett, Age 9 (3rd Grade)
...........................................................................................
Kalia... references 'selfies' as 'facies'...and I don't have the heart to correct her. I'll just enjoy facies for a while. - Age 5

Not remembering what we were talking about, but Kalia responded with "Miss V. told me that. Mom, Miss V is SOOO SMART!! Did you know that? She's a teacher so she's gotta be smart!" - Age 5

Dad said after school one day, "Kalia, go play downstairs while I make dinner."
Kalia said, "You're going to make dinner."
"Well, yes."
She's thinking aloud, "Make... Bake." (she likes to find rhyming words)
"Make. Bake." she says again...as she turns to walk downstairs she mutters, "I'm going to be awesome at kindergarten."  - Age 5
...........................................................................................
It's been a very long winter and we're SO ready for Spring... Mom & Kalia were going out to get in the car, but found Kalia in the driveway, arms out, spinning around. She said, "Mom, I should just play outside. It's SO beautiful out! Look, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping..." as if she were Cinderella. - Age 5
...........................................................................................
Mom was explaining to Kalia that she can't have a bubble bath because the bubble bath bottle was all gone. Kalia responded, "That's ok, I can just make bubbles with my butt." - Age 4 1/2

Beckett was giving me a lesson on dinosaurs..."And these are breeding dinos. Do you know what breeding is, Mom?"
"Yes Beckett, it's how you got here." - Age 7

After a five minute conversation with Kalia...I was still perplexed as to why she wants to put "cat spit" on her face...until I figured out she meant Chapstick - Age 3 1/2

Putting up Christmas lights, Beckett hands me an inflatable snowman. 
Beckett- "When are we going to put "Led" up?"
Brian- "What's Led?"
Beckett- "The Snowman!"
Brian- "What?!"
Beckett- "The snowman's name is Led." He shows me the box.
Brian- "That's the kind of lights in it. They are L.E.D. lights."
Beckett examines the box. "Well... the box named him Led, I'm calling him Led."

Dad: "I don't understand. Tell me more."
Kalia: "The Pluto planet got kicked out. But now it's not a planet anymore. Just it's far away and it's still there. The sun is in the middle."
Beckett: "Pluto was a planet a long, long, long, long time ago."
Dad: "Like how long ago?"

...........................................................................................
In a stern voice, Beckett says, "Kalia, are you forever Royal? Because you can't be a Royals fan if you're not forever Royal."  - Age 6
...........................................................................................
Kalia was setting up her dishes and play food around the coffee table.
"Kalia are you going to have a picnic?"

"Beckett, Kalia..." then shrugs her shoulders.
"Is Mom invited?"
"No. Mom not coming."
Geez...already not invited to her parties. - Age 2

Beckett was admiring a couple of frogs he found on the back deck. He came in and said, "Mom, have you ever heard of a french tree frog?"
"No. Did they tell you that's what they were?"
"No, but I was looking at them and my brain told me they were french tree frogs and their sticky feet can stick to ANYTHING! Did you know that Mom?"
His brain tells him a lot these days...or is it from Wild Kratts?
Man, they absorb everything. - Age 5

Beckett & I were watching Dancing with the Stars. The girl had on a big white dress. Beckett asked, "Is she getting married?"
"No, just dancing."
"When am I gonna get married?"
"You have to find a girl first."
"Um, I think I'm gonna marry Gramma on the farm. She'll wanna marry me, right?"
"Sure Buddy."
He proceeded to ask me about the dress I wore at our wedding...so I dug out the ol' wedding album and went down memory lane. - Age 4 1/2

He said, "Mom, how's it going?"
"Not good buddy."
"We take you to doctor tomorrow and get you some medicine. Mom, I make sure you feel better, ok?"...as he's patting my arm.
What a guy. I wanted to give him a big hug & snuggle, but don't want to get him sick. Bummer.

Dad, "My knee hurts. I wish I knew how to fix it."
Beckett, "I can fix it with my tools!"
I lay back and wait for him to return with one of the plastic tools that we brought up from the basement yesterday.

Knees are not on the list.
