Kids talk from 2011

Yummy sausages

Me: The sausages that we ordered will arrive next week, and they are very very yummy. The problem is, sausage is simply not a healthy food. How much of it do you think we should eat?

Firstgrader:  I think if it's very yummy, we should still eat a lot of it, with lots of vegetables and water.

Cake

11:20pm on Friday night

Preschooler: Mommy, when are you going to make cake? If you don't, I'm going to bed.

Me: Go to bed now. What can be more important than going to bed?

He: Poop, pee.

(August 20, 2012  the soon-to-be-1st-grader read and said: who said it? Mom: you. he couldn't stop laughing at what he said.)

Teaching

First-grader: "Mommy, I was born to teach you."

Me: "to teach me what??"

She: "to teach you all about me!"

Love

Firstgrader, after being picked up from school bus station, looked up at me and said: "whenever I look up, you are there."
