Children Say the Funniest Things!

This is the first of what I expect will continue over time. Sharing the funny and peculiar things my children and other children I know say:

Children say the darndest things:

I was eating and said something random. A hiccup caught me mid chew and thank God I was ok. My youngest wisely chimes in “That’s why you shouldn’t talk with your mouth full.”

My husband was dropping the children off at school on a particularly cold day. Because he was dressed a little too light for the weather that day, he was rushing them out of the car saying, “It’s cold!! Hurry up!!” My darling child was taking her sweet time getting out of the car. She looked at him and said, “if you knew it was cold, why did you dress like that?”

What can you say when the truth is laid before you?

How to make a red light turn green

I have noticed that whenever I am stopped at a red traffic light, nothing turns it green faster than me looking for something in my bag. I'm usually shaken into the realization that it's red by the annoyed driver behind me leaning on his/her horn. Why does that happen? I have sat in more than my share of red lights that seemed to last forever! Yet when I suddenly need to find the bottle of hand sanitizer or my phone, lights just turn green like that! It's like a new Murphy's law: when you're not in a hurry, every light turns green.

I think I'm getting this trend. When I'm in a hurry, I’ll start composing a text message. Green light.
