Kids are Weird…

by Danielle
Contests + Kids + Parenting / March 28, 2014

...and cute, and innocent and kind, but ya, they're totally weird.

We're holding a contest over here. Post odd quirky things your kid has said for a chance to win a set of Jeffrey Brown's books Darth Vader and Son, Vader's Little Princess and his newest Kids are Weird.

Contest closes April 18th. We'll draw randomly.

Best of luck!!

Mercedes: “Yeah, let’s go so she can have a piece of yours!”

At swimming lessons my daughter came running up to me crying hysterically saying,“My teacher has a frog in her throat!!”  Apparently her swimming instructor had cleared her throat and apologized for having “a frog in her throat” but my daughter took it literally and was terrified the frog was going to jump out.

When my daughter was about 18mo, we were pulling into the local shopping centre with my husband in the car.  As we were pulling in she exclaimed “MOMMY, we’re HOME!”. I of course got a look of disgust from my husband, and knew instantly that we were in trouble in the future, for my daughter had been born with my shopping addiction.

We attended a church while on vacation.  It was a different denomination.  Halfway through the service, the priest requested that people greet their neighbors.  Everyone turned to the side, front and back, shook hands and spoke ‘peace be with you’.  My 7 year old daughter thought everyone was saying “pleased to meet you” and she continued to say that to everyone within reach.

I was practicing my guitar when my 3 year old daughter came into the room and said, “That’s not very good.” I have heard from many critics in my day. But never a 3 year old who tells you your not very good :)
