Madison wanted me to take her to the store so she could get her some M&Ms. As we pulled in, this was our conversation.

Me~ Well honey I just got out of the shower.
Madison~ Well now I know why people wear makeup…
My Wife: What do you want for your birthday?
Jack (3):A car please but not like yours, i want a racing car?
Me to 6yr old son : “You have an unlimited number of hugs in you, don’t you?”
Him : “Yeah. That’s because every time I give you a hug, you give me one back, so I never run out.”
Matthew (7): “It’s strange how Boy and Man have the same number of letters in but girl and woman don’t.”
I didn’t think of the word ‘lady’ until we had gotten out of the car much later.

Charlie (4): How do you make a dog ?
Me (39): Well, a mummy dog and a daddy dog that love each other …. (Charlie interupts)
Charlie (moving his hands up towards the wall): I can’t make it look like a dog.
Me: *phew*
(I was doing dog shadow puppets with a torch, and again at the cinema the other week. He keeps trying to replicate me.)
One day myhusband called from work. After chatting about his annoying co-workers; he told me to hand the phone over to our son. I handed the phone to my 6 year old, and just watched. He and my husband talked for a little. Finally Regan put down the phone and walked up to me. “How was your chat?” I asked. “It was okay,” he answered. Then he added, “Anyway, who was that?”

Me: Do you want to go ice-skating tomorrow after your brother’s lesson we’ll go on the public session, and you can hire a penguin to hold onto
(a penguin is a 3 foot high plastic model of a penguin with handles that allows toddlers to keep -mostly- upright on the ice)
Charlie (4): No, I wasn’t born to do ice-skating.
5-yr old: “Mom, don’t you wish there was a machine so you would never have to clean the house again and again?”
Mom: “Yes, I would love that! Why don’t you starting building one?”
5-yr old: “Mom! I can’t do that! I don’t even have any blueprints!”
