Precious Gems


Thanks so much for your permission to include your children and grandchildren's quotes in Heart to Heart!

Trevor (5):  What are we having for dinner?
Me:  Pork chops.
Trevor:  Aww, I hate those!
Me:  No, you don't.  You love them.
Trevor: Wait, are those green? ~ Jennifer in Virginia

Our little granddaughter was in the car with her mummy.  Asyrah (2) was asking her mummy whose fly it was buzzing around the car being a pain and would not accept that it wasn't someone's pet.  So she was told, "It's God's fly," to which she replied, "Did you take it off Him?" ~ Wendy in New Zealand

Natalie's "Funny" from soccer tonight: "I knew her from a long time ago mommy." How does a 5 year-old know someone from a long time ago? Even funnier, the long time ago was the beginning of this summer :) ~ Sarah in Virginia

While looking at her scraped leg, Melody (3) said, "I got lots of spots.  What's that mean?  I'm getting old?" ~ Rosie in Central Asia

Troy (Daddy) to Lexi (3): Tell mommy, ''Happy anniversary!"
Lexi to me: Mommy, Daddy says, Have a nursery!
~ Vera in Virginia

The love of chocolate is strong in this house! John (Daddy) told Melody (3) that if she ate an entire raw garlic clove that he would give her a piece of chocolate...and she did!  As he was giving her the chocolate, she asked, "Daddy, why are you giving me a piece of chocolate? (pause) Because I'm special?" "Yes, you are a pretty special kid to eat a clove of raw garlic!" ~ Rosie in Central Asia

Often when our granddaughter, Ryan (5) is being disciplined by one parent, she will ask for the other parent.  My daughter told me that the other day when she corrected Ryan, she said ,"I want Paw Paw!"  When I told him, of course, he grinned from ear to ear! ~ Lois

Ryan (5) loves being in kindergarten.  Depending on each student's behavior for the day, he/she is given a certain color.  Red means "bad behavior," yellow means they did something wrong, green stands for "good," and purple stands for "super good."  Ryan has been getting green every day so far.  But one day recently she told her mom how she had a yellow before the day was over, and quickly added, "But then I made better choices, and got a green!" ~ Lois

In kindergarten all the students need to learn their address, phone number, country, county, etc.  When asked what county she lives in, rather than Cobb County, Ryan (5) always says, "Corn on the Cobb County," knowing she will get a laugh. ~ Lois

As our grandson, Daniel (4) was leaving the house with his mommy and little brother after a rain shower one morning, he pointed and said, "Look!   There's a puddle shaped like a heart!  I think God made that to show us that we are loved!" ~ Lois
