Heaven really IS a nice place!” Akemi, 7, of Orange This month’s prize: “Kung fu panda” video game for nintendo wii We were driving...and I was reading a book in a soft voice so my daughter would fall asleep, when she said, “I can’t hear you. Can you turn yourself up?” Maia, 3, of Irvine At the grocery store, I asked my son what type of cheese he’d like. He said, “Please don’t buy the sharpened one.” Simon, 5, of Irvine My husband and I were discussing great musicians. I mentioned The Beatles. My daughter said, “I’ve seen The Beatles.” I said, “Oh? I haven’t.” She said, “Yeah, I’ve seen the worms, too!” Isabella, 2, of Tustin While changing sheets, Braydon said, “Mommy, who wet the bed, you or Daddy?” Braydon, 4, of Lake Forest I was breastfeeding my baby while babysitting for a friend. Her 3-year-old came to see what the baby was doing. She started laughing: “Oh, baby Isaac wants a little sip!” Ashley, 3, of Orange My 5-year-old son, Jake, came to me and said, “Mom, you are so SMARTIFUL.” Smartiful? “What does that mean?” He replied, “You are both smart and beautiful.” Jake, 5, of Tustin I told Caleb he was lucky to have the CandyLand game, as it didn’t exist when I was growing up. He said, “Was it because that was Old Testament times?” Caleb, 6, of Ladera Ranch I was helping my daughter with homework, and she couldn’t sit still. I told her it must be the frozen yogurt she ate. She said, “Yes, but it has no trans fats!” Clara, 7, of Orange My son has an older brother named Tor. One night, I told Broder we were having tortellini for dinner. He said, “I don’t want tortellini, I want Broder-lini!” Broder, 3, of San Clemente My mom and my son were talking about glasses and why people wear them. My mom said, “Sometimes you just can’t see clearly, and everything looks kinda furry. Haven’t you ever looked at anything and it looked kinda furry?” To which Jack replied, “Just dogs and cats.” Jack, 4, of Laguna Hills My son has eczema, and his body gets dry and itchy. I give him colloidal-oatmeal bath treatments to soothe him. While eating oatmeal for breakfast, I asked if he wanted some. He said, “No thanks, I already had oatmeal with my bath.” Daniel, 3, of Anaheim My daughter went on Google and started typing “how to fix pants.” I asked what she was doing, and she replied, “I am looking up how I can fix my pants.” The inside elastic was gone, and she did not know how to fix them. Natasha, 6, Turtle Rock My son’s first loose tooth was pulled at the dentist, and they gave him a “baby blankie” (gauze) to make it feel safe. When he realized another one was loose, he said, “Mommy, does this tooth need a baby blankie? Because I don’t want to go to school with a blankie in my mouth.” David, 5, of Anaheim Isaiah’s prayer after a family game night: “Dear Lord, thank you that we had so much fun playing Apples to Apples. And thank you that even though the words were hard, mom helped me. And thank you that my mom is the mom and not the dad, ’cuz then she wouldn’t help me. Amen.” Isaiah, 6, of Rancho Santa Margarita |
