My kids have been on a roll lately with some of the funny things they say and do. I thought I'd share some of them here.

My son and I were leaving the library and getting into the car. I asked him to please get in on his side of the car, so of course he ran to his sister's side to get in. The following conversation happened:

Me: "Connor, what did I ask you to do?"
Him: "To get in on my side of the car."
Me: "And did you do that."
Him: "No."
Me: "Connor, do you know, that when I ask you to do something it's not to be mean, but because I want to keep you safe. What if I was asking you to get in on your side of the car because there was a snake on Katie's side of the car?"
Him: "There was a snake?"
Me: "No, but what if there was?"
Him: "And it was going to bite me?"
Me: "Yes, if there was a snake he could have bit you."
Him: "But I didn't see a snake."
Me: "There wasn't one, but what if there was one."
Him: "He was going to bite me. Where was he?"
Me: "Nevermind. Forget I said it."
After a few moments of silence I quietly hear from the backseat, "Man, why is there always snakes?"

The other day I was resting on the couch while the rest of my family was upstairs. My daughter had been in her room and must have put on one of her dresses because I heard my husband exclaim, "Oh you look so pretty! Go show Mommy and ask her if you look pretty." My daughter stood at the top of the stairs and yelled, "MOMMY! I'M PRETTY!" I guess she didn't need any validation from me!

Last weekend my lovely sister in law had my children over to spend the night at her home. In the morning she asked Connor to go let his uncle know that he could get in the shower and she'd have pancakes ready when he was done. My son went up stairs and told his uncle, "You better get in the shower or your not getting any pancakes!"

Last one, this one happened yesterday. My son asked if he could stay with me and watch TV. I told him it was alright as long as he sat on the couch quietly because Mommy had a headache and loud noises made Mommy hurt. This happened:

Him: "Mommy, I'm sorry I gave you a headache."
Me: "I'm okay honey. You didn't give me a headache."
Him: "Oh. Okay. I'm sorry Katie gave you a headache then."
