out of the mouth of preschoolers

This week Syd has been a gold mine of hilarious quotes. Sometimes I don't know if I should laugh or schedule her an appointment to talk to someone!!


Helpful but somewhat disturbing Customer
 We were playing "shop keeper" and Syd was shopping for her daughter. I like to say random things, hoping for a good response and she sure delivered!
Syd: Hi! I am getting a birthday gift for my daughter. Do you have any kids?
Me: I do! I have some really naughty kids.
Syd: Why are they so naughty?
Me: I don't know? What should I do?
Syd: You should get better ones. Here, I will get you new ones.  Put the other ones in a cage and someone will get them
Me: {says a silent prayer for my future grandchildren}

This sounds like a case for Dr. House
Dr Mommy:  Hi! How can I help you today?
Syd: I am so sick
Dr. Mommy: Can you tell me what hurts?
Syd: Well, my nose is really runny.  I have a lot of snot. At dark time I pick it and put it on my pillow. Then morning time, they turn into butterflies

Party Crashers
I was rocking with Nathan right before his and apparently Syd was tired of waiting for me.
Syd: Hey Sam ( I get renamed a lot) I need you to come in my room.  There are a lot of people in there like having a party. They are going to wreck it so you need to come quickly. Put Nathan in his crib now.

I hope that one day I am not on tv telling Dr. Phil about these days and wishing I had seen the signs sooner!!
