The things kids say

There are some days I have to wonder what the outside world must think of us based on the things kids say. Yesterday, I was working with my middle child on her homework from her speech therapy session. We were working on the concept of sizes as description when using them in a sentence. For example, "I like little pumpkins." We practiced several sentences before we got to a new set of words; teeny weeny. My child had not hear this term before and with all the innocence and confusion of a 4 year old girl, she looked up at me, scrunched up her face in confusion and said "is that penis?" Honestly, it was hard to contain my laughter. Note to self-talk to oldest son about the use of the words weenie and weiner.

Later that evening, I took my oldest son to the store with me to purchase a birthday card for my father. As we scoured the racks looking for cards that said "Dad" or "Grandpa", my son found a card with sound. On the front was a picutre of a chicken and a cow with the words "What are the two sexiest farm animals?". He opened the card and a voice singing "brown chicken brown cow" in a way that made is sound like music from a porn movie. We both laughed out loud (for different reasons) and he started singing and dancing repeating "brown chicken brown cow" over and over. Ah, the questions that will go through the teachers minds at school the next day. I'm sure they have a different thought about our family movie nights now!
