I remember a cousin of mine who was 3 at the time was looking through my Diary/Journal. As someone of that age, the most important date is that of your birthday. But yet she always kept forgetting when it was. I showed her the date which also had a birthday cake I had drawn on their as well. She suddenly realized something. She asked me, "Was I born on the same day?" to which I replied "Yes". With much shock she said, " Oh my Gosh, I was born on my birthday."

Never thought of it that way

I don't know if anyone has started a thread like this before, but I thought I might give it a try.

Some of the greatest joys in my experience as a parent have come through the things my children have said.
I thought of one this morning that just gave me the giggles all over again:

My husband has the habit of saying "For heavens sakes" whenever he has reached the point of total exasporation (sp?).

We were teaching my daughter (who was 3 at the time) the basics of saying a prayer.
She was having great success managing short prayers.
Anyway, one evening we were sitting down to dinner.
My daughter wanted to be the one to bless the food.

She folded her little arms, closed her eyes, and crinkled her little forehead in concentration.
She then very, very reverently said:

"Dear Heaven Sakes."

You can imagine our mirth!!!
It was extremely difficult not to howl laughing right on the spot.
We controlled ourselves until she finished her lovely little prayer.
Then gently reminded her that we say "Dear Heavenly Father" to start our prayers.

We had a great laugh about it later and still do from time to time.


Do any of you have any funny stories abnout the things the children in your lives have said?
If so, please share.
