The Things Kids Say and Do

I just love the things the kids come up with so after Kaitlen's conversation with Jessica this morning I thought I would share.
This morning while waiting for her bus to arrive Kaitlen had a conversation with her mom. It went something like this:
Kailten: Pointing toward the VERY nice house across the street said, "Mom that's a really rich house, ha?"
Jessica: Yes it is
Kaitlen: The boy that lives in that house rides the bus with me.
Jessica: Oh he does?
Kaitlen: Yes that's probably why he's always smiling because he's rich!

Kaitlen:
Halloween of 2006 I made Kaitlen a Fairy Witch Costume at her request with lots of bright colors and took her Trick or Treating. She was so excited and her excitement grew as each new treat was added to her bag. She finally looked at me and said, "Grandma this is the best night ever. I mean every time I knock on a door it just get's better and better!"

When Kaitlen got home from school today she told us that she learned a new song that she really liked. We asked her to sing it for us and this is what she sang, "Your a Grand Old Flag your an old greasy rag and forever in peace may you wave." Jessica and I laughed till we cried.

Wayne: The other day Wayne was playing outside with the kids when he came inside with a big grin on his face. He had found a big stick and tied a red bandana to the end of it and had it flung over his shoulder. Like the ones the Hobo's used to use. Then in his goofy little way he proclaims, "Goodbye guys I'm off to find a new family!"

As Christmas was approaching each of Crystal's kids had gotten gifts for each other. Wayne came down stairs and placed a carefully wrapped gift under the tree for his brother William. The gift lay under the tree for a few days when Wayne offered it to William. William was so excited because he got to open one of his gifts early. He tore into the gift only to find a pair of his underware. William looked at him all confused when Wayne began to sing..."Your gettin' a Wedgie for Christamas...cause mommy and daddy are mad! Your gettin' a Wedgie for Christmas!" It was so funny...this little guy thought of this all by himself. He had just turned 5.
Jayden: Will and Wayne went back to school on Monday. Trey started pre-school today on Jayden's 3rd birthday. After Jayden said goodbye to Trey and the door was shut she lay on the floor in tears. "First my Sage left me to go to Heaven and now the boys left me for school." Poor little girl that just broke my heart.
This is how a conversation between Teele and RaLee went a couple of nights ago.
RaLee: Look at my Abs
Everyone looks but Teele so...
RaLee: Dad look at my Jabs
Teele: Ha?
RaLee: Look at my Abs
Teele: Ha?
RaLee: Look at my Jabs
Teele: What the hells a Jab?
RaLee: I don't know! I said, "Look at my Abs"
Teele: What Abs?
RaLee: Dad I said Jabs!
Teele: What the hell is a JAB!
RaLee: I don't know dad I said AB!
Teele: Oh hell RaLee you know I'm hard of hearing I thought you were saying JAB!
Then the entire room burst into laughter! Let me tell you that RaLee does love pulling stuff on her father. By the way...he made her remove the nail polish. She was rubbing it off and he kept telling her, "RaLee go easy!" "Ouch that hurts!" "Hey be soft now!" Finally she said, "Dad I'm being as gentle as I can this shouldn't hurt!" Then Teele say's. "Well Hell RaLee I've scraped and scraped on that nail polish with my finger nails and my toes are raw! GO EASY!"

RaLee has a few paybacks coming her way! I still owe her big time. A little over a year ago I had baked some really nice soft chewy chocolate chip cookies. I put 3 on a plate and poured me a cup of milk. The cookies were still very hot so I went to the bathroom while they cooled. I came back and enjoyed my cookies. Then RaLee asked me if my cookies were good. I said, "Yes didn't you try one?". Then she started laughing...I mean full out roll on the floor laugh till you wet your pants laughing. When she calmed down she proceeded to tell me that she had licked each of my cookies front and back! I vowed to get her back and haven't as of yet. I do remind her quite often that she has it coming...any suggestions?

Oh, thanks for the laughs. It sounds like RaLee is gonna get it from a lot of people in the family. Wayne's story is too funny. He's got a good mind in there to come up with something like that all on his own. Love you guys!

Tamra and Jim said...

I'd say RaLee has it coming! haha I'm not that good at paybacks. I'm still trying to think of a way to get my son-in-law Trace back for stranding me at the theater that time in Provo!

Grandma a/k/a Kathy said...

What cute funny stories, Liz! Thanks for sharing them! It brightened my day for sure! Sounds like RaLee has some paybacks coming.. Do you have a sprayer on your sink faucet? One of our kids' favorite things was to put a rubber band on the sprayer so that it would come on when someone turned on the kitchen water. They would get soaked from the sprayer! Give it a try, just don't forget about it and get yourself! (not that I've ever done that...)

LOL Great stories! Sometimes it is wonderful to have these memories and to watch the grandkids keeping up the lighter side of life, isn't? Next time I feel like being onnry just for the sake of it, I'll come up and we'll pick on Ralee together, OK? She is fun to pick on!

RaLee Jewell Reidhead said...

Bahhhaa(: no, i do not have any paybacks coming my way. Ahaha! I licked the cookies so John could eat them, mom was just an innocent bystander who happened to take a cookie. Good Times in the Reidhead home(:

Liz said...

Innocent bystander?!! Those cookies were on the side table by my chair next to my glass of milk. John sat accross the room? Hmmmm....me thinks you make up stories missy. I still owe you!
