The Boys Speak Out

Sometimes, kids just say the darndest things. And I know that sometimes I should be just appalled at what comes out of their mouths, but truthfully, most of the "naughty" stuff is also quite funny.

Today, as the boys and I were getting out of the van after school, I asked Kirby to be sure and pick up his hat and gloves and bring them inside. I guess he must have answered me, telling me that he had already put them in his backpack, and I guess I didn't hear it. What I did hear was that when I repeated my instructions to him, his reply was "I told you I put them in my backpack - woman!" Now, how do you respond to that? Upon uttering the last word, Kirby gave me a sly look and a cautious smile, as if to see how well that went over with me. Of course, I could hardly stifle my laugh as I told him that it was inappropriate for him to address any female in that tone (I think he got my drift).

And on the cute side...I had to laugh out loud when Connor told me today that he didn't want any more of his hot chocolate: "I guess I'm just not a hot chocolate kind of man." Now seriously, where does a 3 year-old get that?
