Out of the Mouths of My Babes - Times 3

#1

Me: "What would you like for your birthday dinner, Madison?"

Madison: "Spaghetti"

Me: "I can do that."

Darcy: "Mom, can we have it this time without the whool grain pasta?"

Me: "The what pasta?"

Darcy (speaking slowly): "W - h - oo -l Grain pasta"

Me: "How do you spell that?"

Darcy: "W-h-o-l-e .....Whool"

#2

I pick the kids up from school and start the drive home.

Me: "So, what things happened in school?"

Darcy: "We were working so hard today, but we could not get microscopic word to work."

Me: (thinking along the Montessori lines): "What is microscopic word?"

Darcy: "You know on the computer. We have it at home. Microscopic Word."

#3

We climb into the van after eating at a restaurant. Darcy is closest to the van door.

Me: "Darcy, can you close the door, please?"

Darcy: "Madison, close the door."

Me: "Darcy, I asked you to close the door. Madison is in the back."

Darcy: "I can't reach it."

Me: "Darcy, I know that isn't true. You closed the door on the way over to the restaurant."

Darcy (rubbing her stomach): "Yeah, but that was before my gutter got so full."
