I was baby sitting a friend's talkative four year old one day when suddenly during lunch she stopped talking, looked up at me and asked, "Where is my sandwich?" I answered, "Honey, you ate it." Without skipping a beat she slapped her hand against her forehead and said "I must be losing my mind!"

I suppose you had to be there but it was pretty funny coming out of a four year olds mouth.Laughing

I remember another incident when my youngest sister was only four (Seems to be the magical age doesn't it? LOL!). 

The family was sitting in the living room watching a television program when we heard a knock at the door. Josie (the four year old) jumped up and swung open the door.

It was Eric, a friend of our brother's asking if he was home (he was not). Josie, looked at him, smacked the gum in her mouth and shaked her head emphatically, saying "Nope. Sorry Charlie." and slammed the door all in one fluid motion. 

Needless to say, as we picked ourselves up off the ground laughing we re-opened the door and apologized to Eric, who was very good natured about the whole thing.Laughing

I have  to go to the pet store..but one more...only this time it's my employees..sometimes they can be like"kids"..ya know...I had taken an gal into my office and went over her job application and decided that she sounded good enough to give her an tour of the facilty and my department...well, we went though the place and was entering my department again, , where by what do we see ...but one of my girls.. laying back inside an huge an laundry basket looking up me with an silly a$$ grin, "wiggling" her fingers "hi" at me, to which I'm saying ever so authoritively,.."and this is the station where we fold the clothing at..don' t ask me,I'll find out later!..to the new employee...and we went on to the huge dryers/washers....and kept talking some as she's still wiggling fingers and half-giggliing at us all the while..we finally left. After I saw the perspective employee leaving I went back to ask them WHAT that was all about..to which by then they are in "hysterics", seems they had gotten me some kind of an "gift" for some occasion and when I had walked in they could hear myvoice, but they didn't have enough time to hide it so, they threw it in the laundry basket and  jumped in it.  They thought I was really "kewl" sounding under the circumstances...it was the "laugh" for the day in the breakroom. I did hire the gal also, maybe she thought it wouldbe an "fun"place to work? S*

Solomon said a good one this morning when I was getting him ready. He said "Daddy is frightened of tigers, Daddy is frightened of crocodiles and Daddy is frightened of socks!". I asked him him to clarify why Daddy was scared of socks and he said "I threw my wet sock at him and he ran away screaming!"

As you know it was Anna's birthday today. Michael and Oliver (Chris and Sarah's youngest children at 3 and 5 years) were asking Anna how old she was and would she have candles on her birthday cake. Michael at 5 years old says.....Oliver (3 years old) we won't be able to have all Nanny's candles on the cake. Stopping to think for a minute he said 'how old are you Nanny - 31 he asks). No....I'm 62 years old says Anna. Michael quickly replied, 'Ollie there won't be enough room on the cake'. Kids eh, but lovely!

They don't beat around the bush do they Ron - if only we could all be so straight and not worry about upsetting everyone!

We went to the cemetery yesterday to take some flowers as it is a year since we lost my dear mother-in-law. Aaron wanted to take a shell and he wrote a message inside it. When we got there he asked if he should put it downwards or upwards to see the writing. I suggested down as then the weather wouldn't wear away what he had written. He said "Good idea Mom - then Nan will be able to read it whenever she wants!"
