  I hear ya. Yesterday my 4 year old told his mother “When I am a teenager, I will be taller than you and my farts will be stinkier”.

  Truth.

    So true. So, so true.

    Also? I just farted in his honor.

  My kids can say the most profound things and leave me totally speechless sometimes. It really makes you wonder where they come up with some of those things.

  But then the next moment, it can be something like: “Mom, don’t get your panties all in a bunch!” Also left me totally speechless, by the way! 🙂

  That was my daughter Zoe(7), when I told her jumping off the shed at grandma’s house might not be such a good idea…

    My son called me a smartypants yesterday. Sometimes hearing those things come out of a kid’s mouth is AMAZING.

  Brilliant, Finn!

    Both solid statements.

  Very sweet, Mr. Finn. Reminds me that sometimes I need to get out of the way of the gorgeously loving shit my kids say, simple stuff like “you are the best daddy,” a heartfelt sentiment I foolishly attempt to temper and discredit myself much to their bewilderment. Also, I’m an idiot.

    I hear you. Big time. Putting it down here has helped me take stock. You’re a good man.

  My 5 year old told my wife yesterday about carbon dating. She learned all about it on a PBS show, produced by WGHB Boston and called “Fetch With Ruff Ruffman.” I think more parents need to have their children watching PBS Kids shows and put away the Nickelodeon shows.

    Right? My 4yo knows so much because we almost exclusively watch PBS! (Except when Caillou comes on. Y-uck!) Sponge Bob Square Pants only exists as a drawing in this household (And I’m holding onto that delusion for as long as I can!)

  That kid of yours is all sorts of smart!

  Kids do have a way of saying everything they hear using whatever meaning they choose. After telling my 5 year old to pick up his toys after I stepped an a brown army man hiding in his brown carpet (well played Mr. G.I. Joe Ninja) he told me to “Calm your body dad! Ill pick em up!” Himmmmmmmmmmmmm. Lol

  I can’t wait until the Little Mister (17 months) can converse with me in English (right now it’s his own unique language most of the time)!

  My 3.5 year old tells me he is DADDY’S son, not mine. My kid’s kind of a jerk.
