Kids Say the Darndest Things

I've had writer's block for quite awhile and haven't been able to get passed it. I've tried, but lately the only thing I am truly passionate about (and I write best when I'm truly passionate about something) is politics. I don't think I'm quite ready to delve into political writing yet, just because I need to make sure I don't say everything that I feel. If I did that, oh my, let's just say, most people I know wouldn't be very happy with me. So I decided that instead I would share with everyone some of the gems that my kids come up with. I think to myself quite a bit, where the heck did that come from? when talking to my children. They make me laugh, make me think, and make me keep some of my innocence.

Colevin (pulling on his manhood like he's going to rip it off): "Cut off my penis Mommy, I want a mooch like you." (that's what we call it, mooch.)

Kynedi (kissing my belly): "Good night sissy." (I am NOT pregnant either)

Kynedi : "I want a baby sister Mom." "Why?" "Cause I've never had one before."

Kynedi (a little background on this one, her dad lost a baby ten years ago, so on his birthday every year they let off balloons to remember. I asked her if they were going to have cake, trying to keep it lighthearted) : "Mom, my brother is dead. He can't eat cake. Thought you knew that."

Colevin : "I love you most Mommy."
Kynedi : "Oh really, Colevin? You told Daddy you loved him most this morning. So who are you lying to, huh? Mom or Dad?"

Kynedi (after rearranging every doll she has to lay in a straight line across my bed so that I barely have room to fit): "Mom, don't squish my brothers and sisters, they like to sleep with me." "Honey, can't they sleep down the length of the bed? I don't have room." (looks at me with disgust) "They want to sleep by me Mom...You can sleep on the floor."

Colevin (after being asked what his favorite movie is): "Ass."
My friends : "What are you letting him watch?!?!?"
Me : "He meant Alice...in Wonderland."

Kynedi (after finding tiny little shells in the backyard) "If you put them up to your ear Mom, you can hear the ocean." (puts it up to her ear) "Ok, maybe not really. But I can hear it a little bit."

Kynedi : "Mommy, why don't you have eyes like me, Colevin, and Daddy? You need to change your eyes to look like ours."

And my favorite of all.

Kynedi : "Shhh Mommy, I love you the most, but don't tell Daddy because I tell him I love him the most. But I really don't. I love you the most." "Sure, it'll be our little secret." :)

That's all for now. Enjoy my crazy kids.
