Funny things kids say

Love is

Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.

Love is

Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"

I love you

You really shouldn't say 'I Love You' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.

My daughter has always been very observant. When she was 2 1/2, I was very much "with child". She asked why, and I explained that there was a baby in my tummy. Very thoughtfully she observed my body and very seriously asked, Is there a baby in your back, too?

Nice chicken?

Recently Mrs H made a very nice chicken dish. Lots of sesame, sauces etc. Delicious. Apparently not to the taste of children though.
Our youngest grandson, four years old, has verbal dyspraxia - bloody hard to understand most of the time, but improving with speech therapy. Still difficult though, especially when he’s excited (which is most of the time); his brain gets several sentences ahead of his tongue I think.
Anyway, he obviously wasn’t enjoying the chicken. Mrs H asked him what was wrong. He replied, perfectly clearly, and rather sadly, with a very disappointed look,
"Chicken is supposed to be really nice. This isn’t nice at all!"
You can’t criticise a child for being honest.

Lost marriage

My 5 year old niece, being totally sincere, says to her other Aunty this: "I know you really want to get married, but it's not that no one wants to marry you, they just don't know where you live."

Just like God

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?"
"You're both old," he replied.
