Precious Gems

June, 2011 Issue
Ladies, thanks so much for your permission to include these Precious Gems!  Kids say the funniest things!  Please keep sending them to be included in Heart to Heart and the blog, http://heartfilledhome.blogspot.com.  I just LOVE them!  Children's minds are so imaginative, aren't they?  It seems like they continually keep coming up with new lines!

After sleeping very uncomfortably in a too small bed with a snoring dear hubby, I decided to sleep in our guest room to get a couple of nights of peaceful sleep.  My very observing (doesn't miss a thing) 6 yr. daughter Jacqueline said, " You know if you keep sleeping here, you are not going to get to kiss daddy and go on dates with him anymore!"  I assured her that I was still kissing daddy and enjoying dates even better now as I had got caught up on my sleep.  ~ Robyn in Chile 

I just finished putting "tape circles" on 5 yr. old Austin's hands and feet per his request so he could "stick to every wall like Spiderman." ~ Jennie in Ohio


Austin (5): Mommy, open your mouth! 
Mommy: Open my mouth?  Why?
Austin: Just open your mouth, Mommy.
*Mommy opens mouth.*
Austin: (Talking into my mouth) Hi Baby.  Hello, Baby.  How are you doing in there?  You'll be out soon! ~ Jennie in Ohio

Nap time is over and Anna (3) informs me, "Mamma, I didn't sleep at all!  But it's okay ... I'll be on the lookout for tiredness." ~ Lauren in Virginia
As I unfastened my four year old granddaughter's braids and ran my fingers through her wavy hair, I said, "Wow, how pretty your hair is!"  She leaned into the mirror.  "Yeah, and it looks even prettier with a smile on my face." ~ Eileen in Virginia   www.eileenrife.com

The following four gems are by 3 year old Savannah, daughter of Lauren in Virginia:


"Mimi, I asked Jesus into my heart."
"You did? Were you with your mom?"
"No, I was supposed to be taking a nap."
"What did you say?"
"I said hello, God. I have been very bad. I need you to come into my heart and wash it clean. And then he said yes ma'am. And I said thank you. And God said you are so very welcome."
Hmm.

"Dad, I don't want you to come to my preschool program."
"Why not?"
"Because you are on crutches and when my friends see you, they will all point and laugh."

"Mom, that girl eats a lot. And if she keeps eatin' like that, her gonna get a big ol' belly when she grows up!"

"I don't want to take a bath because I don't want to wash off my tan!"
"Your tan won't wash off."
"Oh good. I love it. On my legs, I'm black. But my bottom is just like a little white girl!"

Daniel's (3) daddy was carrying him downstairs one morning, along with some other items, when Daniel looked at him and said in wonder and amazement, "I didn't know you could hold a trash can, underpants, and a little boy at the same time!" ~ Lois

Daniel's mommie thought she had left her glasses in a certain spot, but later found them on the bookshelf and asked Daniel (3) if he had moved them to the bookshelf.  He replied, "No, I don't move expensive glasses."  Smart kid! ~ Lois

My grandson, Daniel (3), spied a bug crawling on the floor and was chasing him with a shoe in his hand.  After a short while he reported to us, "He stopped!" ~ Lois
