Kids Say the Darndest Things

Here are some funnies (and some serious thoughts) from the mouth of babes.

Meredith and I were talking about dreams and she described dreams like this to me: "When I close my eyes at nighttime, sometimes I see pictures."

Meredith has watched Frozen a few times, and picked up on one particular line in the movie.  She came into our bedroom and said this to Chad: "Come on, wake up Daddy.  It's coronation day."

04/26/14
Meredith's silly song for the day: "Luke's a girl, cuz he's so cute....Luke's a girl, cuz he's so cute..."

Luke has been having a hard time lately when Chad leaves for work.  He cries and whines as he's leaving.  Meredith's response to him this morning just melted my heart.  She told him, "It's okay Luke.  Daddy's just going to work.  He's not leaving us."

I was away at a conference all day and before bed, I asked Meredith if she missed me.  She said, "Yeah, I thought we didn't have you any more", with a sad looking face.  Awww...

02/14/14
Meredith always tells me her white crayons "aren't working".

12/27/13
While walking through the lobby of Chad's grandma's nursing home, Meredith said, "There's lots of grandmas in here."

12/25/13
As we were eating birthday cake for Jesus this morning, Meredith told us, "Jesus isn't a baby anymore.  He grew up to be a strong man and died on the cross to take our sins away."

11/10/13
Meredith: "What's that say on your shirt?" (Chad was wearing a Chicago Bears shirt)
Chad: "Bears"
Meredith: "Care Bears?"

11/08/13
Mommy: "It's naptime."
Meredith: "I don't need a nap. I took one yesterday."

10/10/13
(This was said after we checked out the Little Critter book, "I Just Want to Be Left Alone" from the library).
Meredith went into the bathroom and shut the door and said, "I just want to be alone."

10/03/13
As heard in the minivan this afternoon:
Meredith: "Move out of the way."
Mommy: "Who are you talking to?"
Meredith: "The other cars."


08/29/13
Meredith was playing with Mommy's necklace and Chad heard her say: "I beautiful".

07/23/13
Mommy: Good night, Meredith, I love you.
Meredith: I love me too.


07/15/13
Meredith put a shoe to her ear and said, "I hear the ocean".

You know you're raising a little girl when...she crashes two cars together and makes a kissing/smooching sound when they hit.
