If we ever listened to what our kids actually say, we would probably have some funny literal interpretations.
Luckily, we know there is always a meaning behind everything they say that might not be associated with the words that come out of their mouths.
And might I add....When they become 12 years of age....The words keep coming and don't stop!!
My son said one day while I was putting on my makeup.... "Mom, what's going to happen to us when you get arrested." I paused for a moment to wonder if he was just being a kid asking those nonchalent questions, or if he thought my choice of make up application was similar to that of someone who belongs in jail.
After I was done looking puzzled, I asked him why would you ask that? and he shrugged his shoulders and said "I was just wondering"....
It made me think of all the crazy things the kids ask or say....
Mom .... I didn't pee my pants, its just a little wet....and it will dry when I go outside in the wind.
Mom.... homework should only be for kids who need it.
Mom.... I didn't wipe at School because there was no toilet paper, can you wash my underwear?
Mom.... I just threw up, but it wasn't your dinner.
Mom.... why can't my friend move in, I will give you all of my allowance...( This is the part where I tell you they don't actually get allowance)
Mom.... Can I just spray deoderant and not shower ever.
Mom.... One day I am going to grow up and have a job like you do and talk alot.
And always my favorite.... "Mom your the bestest mom in the whole world" often said when something terrible is about to happen.
I just love what comes out of their mouths!
