I always promised myself I wouldn't harp on about how cute the children are - this is a subject fit only for emails to grandparents. BUT I just can't help myself, they're so funny sometimes. Besides, it's almost Christmas, and Mama deserves some self-indulgence too.
So here's a quick digest of some recent comments that made me laugh...
AJ aged 4, when asked what his father does for a living : "He cuts down trees and tells B off."
B aged 2-and-a-half, when told off by her father (shaking head in philosophical fashion) : "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear..."
AJ when asked why he is calling for his Mama at four in the morning : "Because I like you."
B, hearing the hunters shooting in the woods above Carmine : "Naughty men, kill goat!"
AJ, practising lines for the Festa di Natale : "I bambini sono cambiati, purtroppo* - that's a kind of mouse, you know."
*purtroppo = unfortunately, topo = mouse
B, having been left alone in the kitchen with the stepstool, a pack of sliced bread on top of the fridge and a toaster on a shelf six feet above ground : "Breakfast is ready!"

ahehehehhe I'll have to remember that one! *giggle*
The childrens reasoning is wonderful, try to remember these as they soon grow up. I hope that the little toast makers activity is an early warning of danger for you to take note of. It shows how intelligent your children are.
Very funny! And so sweet! THat's the magic of kids: all the funny and creative things that they say.
They are too priceless.. Thanks for the chuckle !
For sure - the toaster was instantly a shelf higher. She's in a moment that's hard to handle - into everything - and I feel like I'm always saying 'no' to her, which feels wrong. We learn together!
I read these earlier this morning and got a laugh from them. I've already shared your breakfast story with someone today. I wanted to come back and comment.
I've written some of the funny things my girls said in their baby books. There is no way I can remember. I'm glad your writing yours down.
Merry Christmas,
♥
Joy
