I love when my kids say silly things. I always try to write them down because I'm apparently too senile to remember them for longer than two days. So here are the latest...
We received some of my moms Christmas decorations since she is downsizing. The favorite was mistletoe that is at least 30 years old, but obviously still in top working condition. When Carson discovered what it's use was, he stationed himself there for a couple of days. If no one happened to chance by while he was there he'd begin hollering "I NEED TO BE KISSED!" How can you not oblige a cute four year old standing under the mistletoe!
While out Christmas shopping, it was past lunch time, so I offered to get Carson some fast food. He requested the "root beer store" (A&W). He told me "I want a hamburger and root beer...you know mom, an email." It took me a minute but I figured it out..."You mean a kids meal?" His response, "Yeah, that's what I said." Oh, the children of the technology age!
Every once in a while Sadie will say something about her experiences in China. We love these little insights. While my parents were living here this summer she was looking at them and told us she didn't have any grandpas in China. They do have older women that work in the orphanages that the children refer to as grandmas. She hugged my mom and told her "We did have grandmas in China, but not fat ones like you." Mom laughed, and has since told many friends. I don't think she minds being a grandma, even a chubby one!
