(watch till the very end!)
Yesterday, on the way home from picking the girls up from school, I overheard this conversation:
Daughter #2 - "We had fish filets and cole slaw on the lunch tray today. What is cole slaw, anyway?"
Daughter #1 - "I'm not sure. I know its something mushy and I know old people eat it."
Today on the way to school number 2, I heard this conversation:
Son - "You're not a sister!"
Daughter - "Yes I am! I'm your sister and you're my brother because you're a boy and I'm a girl."
Son - "No, I'm not a brother and I'm not a boy! I'm a Mac!"
My mother always told me to keep a journal of the things the children say, because I would forget them! Well, wouldn't you know that she was right, but I never did. My kids keep me in stitches all the time. I ran across this quiz that you are supposed to give to your children (blank questionaire is included down below.) You ask the questions and then write down their answers. It's cute to see what they say. Two years ago, I "interviewed" my daughters, who were 6 and 9 at the time. Here are their responses:
