Conversations with the Kids

The kids have been saying some funny and sweet things lately. if I don't write them down now, I am likely to forget! 

Kaylynn on the way to school last week: 
K: "Mommy, God is in our bellies." 
Me: Well, actually, He is in our hearts. 
K: How does He get there? Through our mouths?

I must be doing something right, because Kaylynn crawled in bed with me on morning and said:
"Mommy, even when you are mad at me, I still love you.  And even when Kaylynn is mad at Mommy, I still love you."  (and use, she did use multiple "persons".  I think she is growing out of talking in 3rd person, which I am going to miss!)

As I am in the living room, I hear Kaylynn say to Ben: "It's ok, Ben.  Just get on my back." That cannot lead anywhere good...

After dropping Kaylynn off at school, Ben and I were headed to our weekly recycling center trip.  He had some news to tell me:
B: Alligators eat meat.
Me: They do?  What kind?
Ben: Brown meat.  And white meat.
Me: Do they eat vegetables?
Ben: Nope.  Eat meat.
Me: Do they eat chicken and hamburger?
Ben: Nope.  Eat meat.  

Back at the beginning of October, my mom and I took the kids to a community pep rally at the high school to see a family friend's daughter cheer.  The principal challenged each class to do a spirit skit that exemplified school spirit, pride, etc.  Ben (who had taken his shoes off already to dance better) started doing the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse "Hot Dog" dance, while the others were doing their thing.  One class had some rappers and while they were rapping, one kid was break dancing.  Ben was watching intently.  A little later I looked over and saw him with his head on the ground/rolling on the gym floor - HE WAS TRYING TO BREAK DANCE!!  It was one of the funniest things I have seen!!

Kids say/do the darnedest things.  :)
