ahhhh, the innocence of a child... "suffer not the little children... let them come unto Me..." A beautiful depiction of the simplicity of love and the depth of "child-like" faith! Hugs~

she is very bright!

THats so sweet....

My daughter has told me a time or two that I am angry and need to go to time out... she was usually right ;p

Don't despair too much if you see beautiful things destroyed, if you see them perish. Because the best things are always growing in secret.

I like that...........

not quite on the same level...last labor day my family and I were painting the basement and my 8 year old sister stopped abruptly and asked why she wasn't at school. My parents (both somewhat unemployed at the time) responded with "it's in recognition of those who work everyday to keep this country prosperous" or something to that affect. She looked at them both with a smart ass look and says
"well then we should probably rename it labor month in this house"

my 9 year old niece says the darndest things...

"How old are you mommy"
"33"
"Wasn't Jesus 33 when he died"
"Yes"
"He sure did a lot more by that time"

and...

"Mommy, what does it mean to be all-knowing"
"Well, God is all knowing, he knows everything"
"Yeah, like Kim Possible"

once, my ex girlfriend and i were having an argument, and her son, who was four, came out and said "get out the back jack" a line from paul simon's 50 ways to leave your lover. get out the back jack, make a new plan stan, don't hav eto be coy roy...

we had played the song for him because of the rhyming (that is why simon wrote it, to teach his son rhymes). we were both floored. i'm pretty sure that the argument ended.

My Nephew saying " No, cha cha..you are NOT YAMPY ! "...

when he hears me saying bad things about myself.He's 10 now but has been helping me out since birth.

cha cha means uncle.
Yampy is local dialect for being nuts.

Kids help me to remember what life is all about!

My daughter was getting ready for school this morning and I realized that I completely forgot to get her in the shower last night. I said half to myself "I don't know what's wrong with me". She sighed, shook her head and said "I don't know either....just joking". Made me laugh.

Not very inspiring but sure to make you laugh... My 8 year old daughter was with me in the kitchen. I was cooking something and dropped a big glob on the floor...out of my mouth comes SH*T!.... I right away start to explain to her that I should not have said that... my daughter says thats ok mom...aunt Le Ann says that all the time...

One day I was having a moment, ugh, one of those I'm worthless in the pit of hell ,days. I told my sister in law," I wish I hadn't made so my mistakes". Nephew responds,"I'm glad you did, I can learn a lot from you."As down as I was, and I was down, he made me smile at the recognition of his brilliance.

I was telling my 4 year old grandson that his Mommy's Grandma used to milk cows every morning...he said "yeah. My Grandma picks up the dog poo" (that would be me) lol

my dad sent me to school one day no pants on...i didn't realize either, nor did i say anything insightful, the principal gave my dad some insight though.
