Tiny Talk Tuesday helps parents focus on one of the many joys of parenting - the funny things that our little ones (and sometimes big ones) have to say.
Join in the fun and record the Tiny Talk overheard in your house! Publish a post on your blog and link us to the laughs. Then be sure to link to the blog carnival on this post so more bloggers can join in the fun.
The guidelines can be found here if you need them.

During our portfolio review for homeschooling, T (age 5) decided to share our unit on Great Britain.
She turned the page to the map of Great Britain and just stared at it. I asked, "What is that?". She looked at me and the county reviewer and said, "Those are the states."
Oh well. I clearly didn't prep her. HA!

K (age 7) is hoping to "build a sandcastle big enough that she can sleep in" when we go on our beach trip.

D (age 3) didn't want to eat any strawberries. (he doesn't eat fruit) Daddy tried to convince him by bribing...
Daddy: If you eat one, then I'll give you a piece of chocolate.
D: OK! I'll eat one later. Then I'll have chocolate. (not being fooled)
Daddy: No. You have to eat one now.
K (age 7): Look. My strawberry is a rocket and she flew it in to her mouth. (he cracked up)
D: (holding his strawberry, began a countdown) 14, 16, 4, GO! (and he flew it in his mouth)
D, T, and K continued to do this until D (age 2) had eaten about the equivalent of 2 whole strawberries.
He never even asked for the chocolate. But we gave all three of them chocolate for eating their fruit AND supporting their brother.
Thank goodness someone in the house knows how to parent!
(cause mommy and daddy weren't getting it accomplished)

D likes to command the girls on his way to bed. He'll look in their room and tell them, "Girls, get in there and do your lists. Mommy is putting you to bed."
I think the best part is the way he commands it and waves his finger at them.

it might be easier if you put chocolate ON those strawberries =) it would work for me!
awww such a sweet thing to the girls to do to support their brother! Love the commanding thing... I was hoping that was a 3 year old thing since Sammy is totally into do this. However, he doesn't have any siblings so its the dog or us :-P
last night my son totally helped with his little sister... distracting her during a dinnertime meltdown and he ended up being the one that got her to clean her plate... don't ya love it?
I love the countdown to the "rocket"!! I remember when Teenybop used to do stuff like that, LOL!
