The kids say the funniest things when they're not even trying. It's the unexpected answers to unending maternal questions that make a mother laugh out loud.
Today we took a field trip to Michaels. John Sam wanted to buy markers with the money he had saved, and Caroline wanted to buy Chiclets. I wanted Caroline to get a coloring book instead (since she filled up her Hello Kitty one) so she'd have something to do while I watched Young & Restless (otherwise called the "show-show").
Caroline: I want Chiclets.
Mommy: You should get a coloring book. Hello Kitty one is full.
Caroline: But I want Chiclets.
Mommy: It will rain later, and then what will you do while my show-show is on?
Caroline: Chew gum.
On the way home from Michael's, I reminded John Sam about the Nintendo rules and that it would rain later in the day.
John Sam: I behaved in Michael's, so can I have Nintendo when we get home?
Mommy: Yes, you did behave.
John Sam: Can I play Super Mario World?
Mommy: Not that one.
John Sam: How many minutes?
Mommy: We'll start with 20. What will you do when the time is up?
John Sam: Turn it off?
Just typing that makes me laugh. :)
That is so funny...I so much enjoyed our trip on Tuesday. We are going to have to do that at least every 6 weeks tee hee :) John Sam and Caroline were so funny and I enjoy their sense of humor..... :)
