Kids Say the Darndest Things...

I'm posting to remind myself down the road of a few of the silly things my kids said when they were young...

For example- yesterday I saw a kiddie cup on the corner of my China Cabinet. I knew which "kid" it belonged to as we have a color coding system in our home. I called out, "Whose cup is red?? Beet, please don't put your cup on Mommy's China Cabinet." He swooped in quickly removing the cup to the kitchen. I sat down at the computer, in the same room as the China Cabinet to see Beetle return placing his hand on the corner of the cabinet where the cup was...

Mommy?
Yes, Beetle?
Did you buy this cabinet in China?

To which I realized immediately, he had no idea that a "China Cabinet" held expensive plates also referred to a China... CUTE!

And if that wasn't enough cuteness for one day... the children were having green beans (the long string bean type) for lunch and as is routine for K-girl, she was picking up her green beans to stack them side by side. Only this time, she grabbed two and named them... the taller one MOMMY and the shorter one DADDY. The boys tried to explain to her that Daddy is actually taller than Mommy but she wouldn't hear a thing of it. She went on to eat the smaller of the two green beans and the rest of us had just assumed her ramblings to have passed... until moments later when she said this...

"This is Mommy and this is Other Daddy." As clearly she had eaten Daddy and replaced him with a new green bean. NICE.

And so I start my day (kids still asleep at this late hour) masking in the innocence and humor of my children. I wonder what they will do or say today that will add to this ongoing list of memories.
