While watching a nature video, my two-year-old daughter began offering a goldfish cracker to a hunting dolphin and was very annoyed at getting no response.
“Num num! NUM NUM!!!”
Still nothing.

Me: Why are you mad at him?
Six-year-old boy: Because he hit me in the BACK!
Three-year-old boy: No! I did NOT hit him in the back!!
Me: Then why did he say you did?
Three-year-old: (very calmly and reasonably) I did not hit him in the back. I hit him in the frooont.
(Well, then…)

My two-year-old daughter, in all sweetness, asked, “Precious, you get ma blankie, peas?”
“Haha! What?! Did you just call me ‘Precious’?” I exclaimed.
My daughter paused to think for a moment then said, “GIRL! You get ma blankie!!”

And now a little gem from yours truly. My husband suggested it might be time to trade in our old car for a newer, better one. I countered by pointing out that if we did that, how would we listen to our cassette tapes?

You can still buy something that play tapes.

Yes, but that doesn’t make the joke funny.

I think it’s funny that the only reason you want the car is for the tape deck.

That’s not the only reason.

Ohhhh, snap! (As my kids would say…) Good one. And you’re right, my ugly man shoes are scary. But they’re good for at least another winter…

You know what? You’re right! They could most certainly survive that as well! Talk about a good investment… (Maybe I’ll even let you borrow them once or twice. 😉 )

I’d be honored, but I doubt they’d fit my monster feet. I actually thought of you when I was at Payless and saw a pair of those in the women’s section. For a fleeting moment I was tempted. They do look very functional. My husband and I could then have a matching set!

A win-win in my opinion!
