For Showcase Friday, Kea wanted me to post a picture of a creation she had made with one of those Rubiks snakes, the toy from the 80s that looks like this:
But it really wasn't that great. So rather than sharing something she created, I'll share something she said. Kea often says things that are just slightly off. Like recently she has been singing, "Deck the halls with Austin Collie." (For those of you whose houses are not dominated by football speak, Austin Collie is a receiver for the Colts.) Anyway, a couple of days ago, we were at a restaurant when she says
Kea (in a fairly loud voice): Hey, Mom. What's that bad word you don't want us saying? Was it Niger?
Me: (looking around frantically to make sure no one's staring at us): No. That's a place in Africa, right above Nigeria.
Kea: But I swear you said we shouldn't call people Nigers.
Me: Um, no. But how about we save this conversation for home?
Go Colts Go!!!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has been singing "Jingle Bells Taco Bells".
ReplyDeleteOk and what is it with kids asking questions like this in public. Very crowded or echo-y places (like public bathrooms). Too funny. Gotta love it.
Oh my goodness. I could do a whole post on things my kids have said to me in the bathroom.
