Things Kids Say

This week Noah and I spent a whole afternoon together with no interruptions.  Just the two of us.  It was nice and gave us plenty of time to chat.

After making Noah lunch I headed into the restroom to finish doing my hair so we could head out on some errands.  Shortly after Noah ventures into the restroom.  The conversation went like this:

Mom: Did you eat all your lunch?

Noah: Yes

Mom: Honestly, Noah?  I’m going to go and check when I’m done getting ready.

Noah: Well not ALL of it because I was only a little starving but I ate most of it.

Mom: Noah, did you at least eat your whole sandwich?  You asked for it so don’t waste it.

Noah: Mom, it’s not called wasting. Wasting is when you just throw something in the trash.  It’s called being full.

….Speechless What do you say to that?

A few moments later I lean down towards his head as we look into the mirror at one another.  He is the most loving kid I’ve ever met.  Since I’m single he usually climbs in my bed on the nights he’s home and he loves to cuddle and hold hands.  When we tell one another we love each other besides saying with all our hearts, he usually says with all the moon and I say with all the stars.  As I was leaning towards him the conversation went like this:

Mom: Noah do you think we look alike?

Noah: Yes

Mom: *laughing* You look just like your daddy with your nice tan

Noah: One day I’m going to be just as big as daddy too

Mom: Yes you are and then who is going to cuddle with me after you are grown up?

Noah: Hmmm…. maybe you’ll have to cuddle with yourself then?

Mom: *acting sad yet giggling with the fake cry* Just think Noah, one day you will get married, will you still love momma the most?

Noah: Well, then I’ll love her with all the moon

Mom: *Gasp!* {As I grab and start tickling him} Noah! What?! You are supposed to always love mommy the most!

Noah: *just giggles*

Mom: Okay fine, will you at least have me grandbabies?  I want a little girl so I can dress her in cute dresses and fix her hair in bows.

Noah: No, I’m only having boys.  I don’t like girls.

Mom: Only boys huh?  Well are you having a lot of baby boys or just one?

Noah: A lot.  I think 5.  5 boys.

5 little Noahs running around.  I’ll pray for his wife!

We head out and as we drive in the car Noah starts up another conversation.

Noah: What happens to the water after we wash our hands?

Mom: Well it goes down the drain into the pipes.

Noah: Where are the pipes?

Mom: The pipes are inside the walls of the house.  When they build the house they put pipes in first.  Clean pipes and the dirty pipes.  Clean pipes to bring in the clean water for us to wash our hands and take a bath and the dirty pipes to take out the dirty water after we wash our hands.

Noah: So if the pipe breaks they have to knock down our house?

Mom: Well they have to sometimes knock down one wall to fix the pipe and then rebuild it. But not always.

Noah: What about our pee, does it go down the dirty pipes also?

Mom: Yes, Noah.  When we use the restroom and flush the toilet that goes out the dirty pipes as well.

Noah: What if I pee in the dark?  Do the pipes still work if it’s dark?

Mom: Yes.  The pipes do not have an on/off switch so they will still work even if we use the restroom in the dark.

Kids say the darnedest things…  It is hilarious to me how they come up with some of this stuff.  What was the last thing your child said that made you laugh out loud?
