Kids say the darndest things

These are all from this morning and it's only 8:30 a.m.:

Me: "Abby? What would you like for breakfast?"
Abby: "Umm...how 'bout...a cookie?"
Me: "You need to eat breakfast first. How 'bout eggs and toast?"
Abby: "Ok, ya...that's cool."

**************************

Abby walks up to me this morning after she has removed all of her clothing, including her diaper. Picture her with a very triumphant look on her face.
Me: "So...Abby...where is your diaper?"
Abby: (silence, still looking rather proud of herself)
Me: "Do you want to wear some big girl panties today?"
Abby: (thinking for a moment) "No. How 'bout some slippers?"

**************************

Seth: "Mom, do you know what I decided I'm going to be when I grow up?"
Me: "What?"
Seth: "A scientist."
Me: "Really? That is awesome, Seth! Why do you want to do that?"
Seth: "Because I wanna make those potions that will turn people into different characters, you know, like they do on Zelda."
Me: "Seth, you need to lay off the video games."



So now I'm wondering...do you think I'll still get the "Mother of the Year" award?

  1. Cute! Love the conversations we have with little ones, though I sometimes wonder what they say to their teachers when I'm not around:)
