THE FUNNY THINGS KIDS SAY
Cheryl tells about visiting her neighbors on New Year's Eve. As they were getting ready to leave, Cheryl turned to Alex, 2, and said, "Happy New
Year!" His mother said, "Alex, what do you say to Cheryl?" Alex looked at Cheryl and said, "Happy Reindeer!" -- Cheryl D. Fox of Monroe, Ohio
Sara has been talking with her son Alex, 3, about God's gift of Baby Jesus. Alex has a baby brother. So many times while playing with the
nativity he would point out the mommy, the daddy, the angel and baby Jeremiah, his brother. Sara had Alex repeat "baby Jesus" several times.
The other night while preparing for bed, Alex said, "Mommy, let's talk about the mommy, the daddy, the angel and baby Gus!" -- Sara of Kentucky
Dylan, 4, was helping his parents decorate their Christmas tree. When
his father insisted that he put decorations all around the tree, Dylan asked, "Why put balls on the back of the tree, 'cause nobody cam see 'em."
-- Dennis Smith (Dylan's PawPaw) of Oak Ridge, North Carolina
While going through her Christmas crafts books, Connie found a few scraps of paper onto which she had written down some of the wonderful things kids will say. One story was about Maggie, 7, when they spent Christmas in the U.S. They spent a day looking for a dress for the Christmas and New Year's parties and receptions. Connie found out they were even invited to a gathering that was going to have valet parking. When told about "valet parking," Maggie replied, "What color is the velvet?" -- Connie (mother of Maggie) of Vienna, Austria
Connie tends to write a year's review and enclose it in their holiday cards. Maggie wanted to know what Connie was going to write about her.
When Connie told her Maggie, who was 8 or 9, admonished, "You didn't mention that I have no more baby teeth left!" Obviously, for her that was
a major milestone and worthy of the Christmas letter!
Joan's family had their large annual gathering at Mamaw's house for Thanksgiving. It is the one time of year when everyone gets to see family
members from far away. James, 8, kept saying, "My toy has AA batteries, my toy has AA batteries" over and over. Finally his cousin Taylor, 4, said, "James, will you stop repeating that. You are rattling my brain!" -- Joan Henry (great aunt of Taylor) of Sulphur Springs, Texas
Tricia is constantly forgetting things. So she asks her children, Olivia, 7, and Ethan, 5, to remind her about things she needs to remember
and they do a great job. One day she told Ethan to remind her to pay their insurance bill at State Farm. After a moment of silence he asked,
"Mommy, do you think they will let me pet the cows?" -- Tricia Olmstead of Hillsdale, Michigan
When Tom was little his parents were expecting their second child. Asked what he wanted (a sister or a brother?) he replied, "A dump truck!"
-- Angela Hoover of Seattle, Washington
Leah says the "girl cheese sandwich" story last week reminded her of her niece Chrissy who used to call fried eggs "frog eggs!" -- Leah of
Tampa, Florida
Here are some holiday stories from readers in year's past that I have enjoyed:
Danny, 8, told his dad some boys at school had told him that Santa was really his parents. So Danny's dad decided it was time to tell him the
truth. And he told him about the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy while he was at it. Danny took it all in stride, but seemed kind of sad. Then he looked at his dad and said, "Yeah, and there ain't no turkey, either." --Patsy Campbell of Portland, Tennessee
It was about a week before Christmas and Danielle, 3, was helping her mother decorate Christmas cookies. The radio was belting out holiday tunes and they sang and danced as they frosted. Suddenly Danielle started pouting, and tears fell from her eyes. "Honey, what's wrong?" her mother asked. "They said Santa Claus is coming to town," Danielle said. "But we live in the country!" -- Darlene Buechel (mother of Danielle) of Chilton, Wisconsin
Nakita's preschool teacher asked the children about all the people in the manger scene. All the children knew baby Jesus and most knew Mary and Joseph. But they were stumped about who the three men grouped together were. Then, with a smile on her angelic face, Nakita announced: "The Three Wise Guys!" -- Dusty (mother of Nakita) of Barberton, Ohio
Allen, 6, was on his way with his mother to see Santa Claus at school. They were talking about what they wanted for Christmas. When Allen asked his mother what she wanted, she said, "Peace and harmony." "Mom, what's a piece of harmony?" Allen asked. -- Jo Ann G. Usey (mother of Allen) of Knoxville, Tennessee
Sherri, 10, told her mother she did not believe in Santa, and asked if she could open all her presents on Christmas Eve. It was obvious on
Christmas morning that she was really disappointed that there was nothing else under the tree from "Santa," but she didn't say anything. A couple of months later she was shopping with her mother when she said, very seriously, "I may not believe in Santa, but I sure believe in that Easter
Bunny!" -- Sharon Sausedo (mother of Sherri) of Hollister, Calif.
