Kids…The Things They Say!

Now, any parent can tell of cute or funny things their kids have said or done, but how many keep a record?
I started when my oldest kids were about 4 and 6, keeping a journal type of book, writing down the things they do and say that make me laugh, cry, or say “Why didn’t I think of that??!!”
My kids love to hear stories about when they were little. Even Andy, who is only 5, loves to hear me tell funny things about him.
Yesterday he did a funny that will go in the book.
I took my three youngest boys to our local Walmart. Troy had somemoney, and wanted to buy some sneakers. After he picked out what he wanted, I saw the clearance rack of shoes. I found a pair of brown slip on loafers, almost Andy’s size…a little roomy though. He tried them on and walked around in them, and seemed happy about getting them (and I was happy too…they were only $6.00!).
A while after we got home, he came into my office wearing them, and said “I don’t like these shoes mom, they don’t fit me.”
I said “They’re just a little big, you will grow into them.”
He took them off, headed toward the door, then he turned around and said “I think those might come up missing soon!”
What nerve!
Oh well, at least if they come up missing, I will know why.
