My Quotable Kids

If you’re a mom {especially of small kids} and you don’t have “My Quotable Kid”, please ask someone to give it to you for Christmas. It will be one of your most prized and favorite gifts ever.

I got mine a few years ago from my friend Ann – I’m not sure if she just knew my kids would be quote-worthy, or if it was just from her experience of being a mom – kids say the darndest things!

Case in point: last night Andrew, the kids and I were sitting on our bed, reading our Advent devotional from Luke chapter 2. After Eliza Jane did a phenomenal job reading verses 1-20, Andrew asked her, “Eliza Jane, do you know what it means to have peace?”
Her response was priceless, straight-faced and all: “Yes sir, but not when Emory is around.”

Andrew and I both lost it. SO.TRUE. There is no peace when Emory is around!

Andrew pointed at me and laughingly said, “You gotta write that one down!”

So I pulled out my little book – I keep it in my night stand – and wrote down her quote so we could look back a year or two, or more from now and laugh all over again, especially at the truth of her hilarious statement.

Then I read aloud some quotes from the kids from last year and 2018 and had a good laugh.

One thing I really like about this little book, in helping preserve memories of your kids and the crazy things they say, is that you have space to write the context of what was going on when they said that silly thing. And it’s almost as if you’re transported back in time when you go back and read some of those wild things.

Oh, the funny things kids say – I hope you can reminisce some of the things your kids or kids you know have said to you recently. Feel free to share!

Also, if you read my post from last Friday, I have a drawing to do! I had several commenters and the winner of a Lip Butter from EverBe Cosmetics is….Brooke Hold! I’ll message you for your choice of Lip Butters!

Until next time, friends…
