Some sweet and funny comments from my precious kids (Prince age 6/7, Princess age 4). Enjoy!
Prince, after I kissed him goodnight, “You know, Mommy, girls are quite in style to me now.”
Princess, while watching me weigh myself: “Can I see how much MY feet cost?”
Prince: You know, Mommy, I don’t even know who I’m going to marry, yet!
Me: No, but God does. You should make sure you choose someone who loves God and will be a good mommy for your children.
Prince: Yep. I think I will go to town to choose my wife. I will ask everyone in town, ‘Do you love God?’ and if one says yes – I’ll choose her!
The beginning of Prince’s prayer on Friday morning at breakfast: “Dear God, thank you for this lovely day. Thank you that we are not having vegetables for this meal…” (Oops! I guess my vegetable passion hasn’t been passed on yet…)
Princess looked down at her feet while running in the park, and exclaimed, “My feet are going faster than I expected!”
Prince, learning about capital cities: “Which ones are the lower-case cities?”
Princess, on family night, picked up a chip from her bowl and exclaimed, “This chip is as flat as a pig!”
Walking home from swimming, the kids & I played ‘I Spy’. It was Prince’s turn:
Prince: …something beginning with ‘M’.
Mommy & Princess make some wrong guesses.
Prince: I’ll give you a clue – look all around you.
Mommy & Princess give up.
Prince: Molecules!
I asked Princess to give me a long kiss on my cheek (so that Daddy could catch it on camera). She looked at me sadly and replied, “I can’t, Mommy. Because one time when you and Daddy did a long kiss you said I couldn’t do that.”
Princess, praying before bed one night: I pray, Father Lord, that you will help me to love other people in a way to show them that I love them more than just princessey things.
Princess, writing a card at the table, spies Prince sleuthing in the hallway with a Nerf gun, and calmly comments: “Prince, I know your excellent plan is to shoot me.”
Prince, putting his arms around my neck and pulling me close: Mommy – you’re my favourite of the physical things.
Princess came after a long and quiet period outside…
Princess: I’ve been trying to rescue a snail from a spiders web.
Prince: Princess, that’s very sweet. But you should just leave it – that’s nature! Just let nature do it’s thing. You shouldn’t change nature.
Princess: Who flushed that toilet?!
Prince: Me!
Princess: Oh – I thought it was an invisible person.
Prince: There are no invisible people!
Princess: Except for the people who are…
Prince: Yes – like pick-pockets.
