The Things They Say
Inevitably, children say the funniest--and sometimes the wisest--things. Wise because they remove all the fluff from conversation and just get to the heart of the matter rather quickly. And, then, there is the humor factor simply because of the way children may pronounce something or substitute words that sound right. Here are a few that I want to remember forever from my little gals:
Carly somehow made up this saying when she wants me or J to remember something:
"Remember that, Mom. Don't let it drop out of your mind!"
Hannah likes to read Corduroy books--the sweet little bear who has a whole lot of fun making Valentines, having picnics with his friends and going on Easter egg hunts. She likes to refer to him, though, as "Corduboy."
Carly woke up one day at Grammy's house and said when she looked outside, "It's a sunshiny day!"
Instead of "it doesn't matter", Carly at one point said, "it doesn't care."
When Hannah talks about wanting to hold her stuffed animals and her favorite, Bear Bear, she'll say, "I want Bear Bear to hold me."
I need to carry a notebook in my purse (or really my back pocket) so I am always ready to capture these cute phrases on paper. Because even though I tell myself, "remember to write that down". . inevitably, it drops out of my mind.
