Winner for November

One day while driving, we saw a motorcycle cop and my son asked, "When he arrests someone, how does he keep the bad guy on the back?"
- Joel, 4, of Rancho Santa Margarita

Still a little wet from her bath, Samantha ran over to me and said, “Mommy, I’m a little cold. See? I have goof bumps!”
- Samantha, 4, of Rancho Santa Margarita

It was my son’s first time tasting frozen yogurt. After quickly shoveling in many large spoonfuls, he suddenly grabbed his head and started screaming, “Help! My head is breaking!” It was his first brain-freeze experience.
- Caleb, 3 1/2, of Fullerton

One morning, I was ironing my then 6-year-old’s clothes. She said, “I like when you iron my clothes because it’s really cold and that’s gonna keep me warm.” So I told her that is not why I iron her clothes, I iron them to take the wrinkles out. “Oh, so when you get old, are you going to use the iron?” “For what?” I asked. “To take your wrinkles off!”
- Jasmine, 8, of Orange

Having dinner at a Japanese restaurant recently, I was pleased to see that my daughter was loving the tofu. In fact, she asked for an additional order. She asked, “Is my breath stinky?” When I asked her why she wanted to know, she replied, “Isn’t this 100-year-old, stinky tofu?” Apparently, a character on a PBS series enjoys 100-year-old, stinky tofu and the stinky breath that goes with it!
- Ruby, 5, of Irvine

Mya: “Is Mason and Edyson coming over to my house?”
Me: “Yes, and they’re going to sleep over!”
Mya: “Is Miss Corene (their mom) going to sleep over, too?”
Me: “No, she is going to Pittsburgh.”
Mya: “She’s going to see Big Bird?”
Me: “No, she’s going to PITTSBURGH.”
Mya: “Is that by Sesame Street?”
- Mya, 3, of Rancho Santa Margarita

We were at Big Bear celebrating our 7th anniversary. We had been at the pool, then went back to the cabin to rinse off before heading to the lake to go fishing outing. While we were rinsing off, my son blurted out, “How does your skin hold those things up?”
- Jordan, 4, of Irvine

On our recent visit back East to see family, we were staying with my dad and stepmom, Judy. Every once in awhile Judy would call Giano “darling” or “my darling.” I guess Giano was tired of the name mix-up because, finally, he said to Judy, “I’m not darling, I’m Giano!” We all had a great laugh.
- Giano, 3, of Huntington Beach

We were at Taco Bell standing in line and a family came and got in line behind us. My son said, “Mommy, does that guy have a baby in his tummy?” I looked away in silence hoping nobody realized that we were together.
- Jordan, 3, of Orange County

My daughter recites the “Lord’s Prayer” each night at bedtime. She still has trouble with the “thous,” “art” and “hallows” of the prayer. I always get a smile on my face and a chuckle inside when she gets to the part “Hallow be thy name” because she says, “Hello be my name.”
- Cara, 5, of Orange County
