My kids have provided us (and some of you) with many chuckles over the years. Due to popular demand, here is a list of just some of the things they have said and done...
Little Miss H started with the quotable quotes when she was 2, SuperMan J Jnr bloomed a bit later (about 4) but is still rolling them out at almost-6!
J: Does God love people with no hair?
me: Yes of course, he loves everyone the same.
J: Yes, but does he liiiiike bald people as much as the other people?
J: When I grow up I am either going to be a farm keeper or a tooth fairy.
J: Did you just hear that big bang on the roof - the BANG with the little bangs and then the rolling? Well that wasnt me, I didnt do that.
me: A is for apple, B is for ...
J: Jump!
me: No J, B is for box.
J: No Mum, in Super Mario, B is for jump.
I stand corrected.
J: I'm NOT jumping on the lounge, I'm jumping OFF the lounge
Josh was playing UNO with God but God kept losing because He didn't say UNO in time and had to keep picking up two extra cards.
J: Is it spring? Can you put us in a cave and we come out at Christmas time?
me: Yes, Yes I can.
me: Go to your room
J: Well I'm not going to my birthday then!
