Okay maybe not the latter. They ask for ponies they can keep in the backyard during the summer and in the basement in the winter, or brag how they'll be princesses when they grow up.
Anyway, so yesterday we went to my high school daughter's swim meet. Because of the other four kids and their hectic after-school schedules, I haven't been able to go to any of her meets, unlike when she was in middle school.
So my four-year-old yells on top of her voice, "How come we don't come to her meets, Mom? You said this was her last one and we missed all the others."
As you can imagine, I cringed, fully aware of other parents' eyes on me, heads cocked to catch my response. I tried to whisper, "Well, her meets start at three and I pick up the others from school at that time and you at three-thirty then take you to your dance or gymnastic class so there's no time...."
"But she's so happy we're here."
That was the end of that discussion. Checked by a four-year-old!!!
This morning, she brings up a Chinese restuarant we went to last month. "The wishing well at that restaurant doesn't work. I think they just want people to throw their money into that fake wishing well so they can be rich. Next time we eat there, can you give me your purse so I can take our money back???"
Ha!
That made my day.
What are the darnest thing your kids ever told you???

Funny! I know you wanted to crawl in a hole at the swim meet...
I remember when I took my oldest daughter to the doctor when she was two years old. We were sitting across from a lady holding a baby. I was thinking to myself that the poor child was so homely, but when Crystal said, "That sure is a dumb looking baby!" I wanted to die...
The funniest and strangest things any of my grands has told came from Destin when he was three. It was a very long, very detailed story about how he used to live in California before he was born in Georgia. He told us about his wife and their wedding right down to where it was held to what they wore. It creeped the entire family out...
LOL, nboth stories are hilarious Denise. Aren't they just cute??? My four-year old has taken to tell me, MY ROOM MY RULES when I tell her to go play elsewhere when I'm working. My workstation is in their room. They pick so much gunk from their older siblings is not funny.

My kiddo's have done the same. I've been embarrassed many a time from off the wall comments. I think alot of parents understand though and have been in the same spot.
OMG, that wishing well story cracked me up. Last year my ds called my mother a jack-ass, but quiclly added "as in donkey."
That's so cute! You need to write those down!
Jack-ass, Dawn? Bet you MIL knew what he meant despite the save. Smart kid.
