PRECIOUS GEMS FROM KIDS!
Thanks to these three "Heart to Heart" ladies, we have three cute quotes from kids! Please keep them coming, ladies!
Some years ago we lived in the downstairs unit of a 2-bedroom house. To get to our domain you would first go through a gate which passes by the front door of the upstairs house, where lived a family with a dog named "Scrappy" who would bark ferociously every single time that front gate opened. One afternoon my 6-year-old son and I were sitting at our dining table drawing in coloring books together when we heard the familiar bark of our upstairs neighbor's dog. Glancing at the clock on the wall, and anticipating my children's excitement when Daddy gets home from work, I looked down at my son and said with a big smile, "Son, do you hear that? Do you think that's Daddy???" Not even looking up at me he stated matter-of-factly, "That's not Daddy, Mom. That's Scrappy." ~ Jessica, blessed mother in Hawaii
My youngest daughter who will be 5 in August heard her almost 40 year old daddy complaining about aches and pains and getting old. She said, " Daddy, I don't want you to get old!" Daddy asked why and Jacqueline said, " Because then I won't have a Daddy I'll have a Grandpa!" ~ Love, Robyn in Chile
As we were in Walmart’s parking lot one day, about ready to load our purchases into the van, Sheri, 5, spied some little birds in an empty parking space nearby and remarked, "Those birdies don’t know where we live!" ~ Jalisa in Pennsylvania
WHY DO WE LOVE CHILDREN?
I thought you would enjoy these comments from young children. The kids that I teach say similar things. ~ Becky in Louisiana 1) AMAZING ~ I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!' 2) OPINIONS ~ On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.' 3) KETCHUP ~ A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone.. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.' 4.) LOST ~ A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, ''What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'' 5) POLICE # 1 ~ While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?' 6) POLICE # 2 ~ It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back there?' he asked. 'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, 'What'd he do?' 7) ELDERLY ~ While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by t he various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!' 8) DRESS-UP ~ A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.' 'And why not, darling?' 'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.' 9) DEATH ~ While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.' 10) SCHOOL ~ A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!' 11) BIBLE ~ A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. 'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out. 'What have you got there, dear?' With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!' |
