the cute things the kids say

Someone asking about one of our kids and if he was sick. He had surgery yesterday and we were telling them he has to stay home.

Coworker: “He’s gotta rest.”

5 year old in horror: “He’s in jail?!”

_{Arrest, gott a rest}

This one is more of a have to be there, know the child, know what is going.

4 year old girl as soon as she got off the bus: ‘I’m mad at you!’
Me: ‘Why?’
Girl: ‘Cause you’re late!’

Cute little girl. I took off work last week and she came back then after being gone since October when her mom went on maternity leave. She kept asking for me last week wanting to know where I was. She likes me and it’s mutual. I would be happy if my kid turned out to be like her.

A conversation between a 4 year old boy and a 4 year old girl.

Boy: “If we blow up do we go to heaven?”
Girl: “No”
Boy: “Then where do we go?”
Girl: “Into pieces!”

Today we were out on the playground and a few of the kids ran up to me.

“Ms. Jesse look what we found!” They were so excited. “Shells!”

Me: “That’s not shells. That’s rabbit poop.”

“EWW!!!”

They threw it down and we went and scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed.

Kids and honesty. Jeez.

An 8 year old to me while she was pushing on my belly trying to shove me back, it was some game we were playing outside.

“You remind me of a caterpillar.”
Me: “Okay. Why?”
“Because your belly is all squishy like a caterpillar.”

She then spent the rest of the time calling me caterpillar, caterpillar.

_{Unfortunately, I already know I have a bit of a squishy belly}

A 3 year old boy after seeing a band-aid on my hand.

“Do you got a boo-boo? Did a penguin bite you?”

I started a notebook at work where I write down things the kids say that I find cute and amusing. A lot of the time it’s more of a have to be there situation to get it. Have to see the expressions or hear the way they said it or know the context of it. But it’s still amusing to me. This one happened at breakfast today.

3 year old girl says to me: “Do you got big boobies? I got small boobies.”

I laughed over it. This particular girl is in the notebook quite a bit.
