Tiny Talk Tuesday




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.

We were going through the McD's drive-through for me to get a free Sweet Tea with a coupon. D (age 3) really wanted something, but I told him it was just a drink for mommy today. So I ordered....

Mom: I'll have a large sweet tea and I have a coupon.

As we drove to the window...

David: I LOVE coupons!
Mom: (laughing) You do?
David: Yep. Well...I'll have to try them first.

He was so desperate to eat something from McD's that he was willing to try a "coupon".

T (age 5): I want Chinese Toast!

(That would be French Toast)

D: At bedtime I watch the sunrise down.

(That would be the sunset)

I had a CD playing, 25 Classical Favorites. Song #2 was Nutcracker Suite. When it came on the girls recognized it...

Mom: Anyone remember what this is from?
T: The Nutcracker!
Mom: That's right. And who composed the Nutcracker?
K: Tchaikovsky.
Mom: (Feeling rather smug that they remembered this piece, picturing them as classical music connisseurs)

Then the next one came on. It was Vivaldi's Four Season: Spring.

K: I know this one! It's Little Einstein's!

Smug Moment gone...

The Little Einsteins piece really made me chuckle. It's so cute to hear what kids come up with.

I like the one about the sunrise going down. I love it when they get their words mixed up. It's funny.

Davene said...

Chinese toast! I'm going to remember that next time I make it. :)

I was just looking at the pictures in your sidebar and marveling over the fact that C is one already. I remember reading your blog back when you were heavily pregnant with him and so ready to deliver. And now, he's a year? A-maz-ing!!!

What a wonderful blog carnival idea! I just stumbled across your blog and it looks great! I too am a would be night owl and I actually refuse to let the kids up before 8!! Oddly enough I posted a blog that would fit perfectly in this category just today! Guess I should link it up!!
