Kids really DO say the darndest things. As many of you have seen, I recently got my hair cut. My son is absolutely OBSESSED with my hair, and he always has been. When I say obsessed, I mean he can't fall asleep without holding onto it. He can't sit on my lap without twirling it in his fingers. And he hates when I wear it up. So, as I was eating lunch one day, he came up to sit on my lap. He reached for my hair and said, "Mommy, I think your hayuh (hair) is pwetty (pretty) yike (like) a fwower (flower)." He then looked right at my hair and said, "I wuv (love) you hayuh (hair)." It's a lot funnier if you hear it in his little voice...he's so sweet.

Then, at dinner tonight we were talking about birthdays. I told my daughter (5) that it will be her brother's birthday in January, and that he'll be three. She replied, "Well I'll be nice to him in January...I just don't like two-year-olds." I told her I was going to remember her saying that

I think I could write a book about all the hilarious things I've heard out of their mouths over the years. I'm sure all of the mothers reading this could do the same. Like all the times they've announced in their proudest voices, "I TOOTED!!!" in the middle of a crowded store. Or the time when my daughter told me I had "nice rainbows"--she was talking about my eyebrows Or "Daddy, why does the hair grow on your face, but not on your head?" My husband didn't think that was funny, but I sure did.

I can only hope that their humor lasts a lifetime (even though my daughter doesn't like it when we laugh at all the funny things she says). We keep telling her that some people get paid for being funny...she rolls her eyes, and walks away. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she's older, and she reads through her baby book, or watches all the home movies of her saying, "DON'T LAUGH AT ME!!! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!" I bet she'll laugh!
