Everyone loves kid quotes!!!!!!
At least their mom does….so humor me and read on.
In the minivan:
Daughter: You are not going to believe this.Son: What?
Daughter: There is a band called “Naked Ladies”! (Son laughs out loud) AND….they are NOT naked and they are NOT even ladies!!
(more laughing)
Turningreen: Actually, their real name is “Barenaked Ladies.”Daughter: (hysterically laughing) And they’re not bears either!!!!!!
Hanging out in Mom’s & Dad’s room:Son: When I’m in Kindergarten, will my birthday be on a school day?
Daughter: (Who has a freakish ability to recall such facts without referencing a calendar) Yes, it’s on a Tuesday — it’s Election Day, too.
Son: Sweet! A school day AND a holiday.
Turningreen: You may not have school that day, since it’s Election Day.
Daughter: Mom, since Barack Obama is going to be President for the next eight years [Mom smiles to herself at this hopeful endorsement of our new leader], then why do we need another Election Day?Turningreen: Well, there are lots of other things to vote for, like Congress, Mayor, Town Council, Governor.
Son: What’s a governor?
Daughter: A governor is a man who is in charge of a state. A woman in charge of a state is called a governess.
Turningreen: No, a woman or a man in charge of a state is called a governor. A governess is something else.
Son: Yeah, that sounds more like a babysitter.

Made my morning! Nothing I enjoy more than kid quotes and stories, keep ‘em comin!
Ha! I never thought of the governor / governess dilemma! How old are your kids anyway??
hahaha – mornin glorie….Have a great weekend and a Wonderful Easter
Well…um…even though Barak Obama is going to be the president for eight years, we STILL have to vote in four years to confirm it.
@DrTiff - Our daughter is 7 and son is 5.
@ordinarybutloud - Yeah, but they were discussing the 2009 election day. And I thought it was funny that she had been led to believe by someone (maybe her Obamamama, maybe her teachers, maybe someone else) that it was just a GIVEN that he would be all set for 8 years!!
