Good ‘ol Friday.
I can always count on Friday to rescue me from a busy week of driving around all over the place.
And since I’ve been everywhere with my kids in tow…
It’s time for another round of “What did those darn kids say in the car?” Car Talk!
Let us know what your CARVERSATIONS were by sharing one in the comments. ;)
So, on with the show! (Cupcake is 7. BerryBites is 2.)
*************
Me: Not particularly. No I don’t.
Cupcake: But how come I saw you wear some pearl bracelets one time?
Me: Oh those are not real. They are just fashion pearls. And your dad got them for me.
Cupcake: Well, I do not like pearls….although I do think they look good on me, but I do not like pearls.
Cupcake: I like watermelon flavor.
BerryBites: My favorite is strawberry! I don’t like strawberry!
Cupcake: What?! But you just said it’s your favorite!
BerryBites: *cracks up laughing*
********
Me: No, not today. Another day.
BerryBites: Uh-huh. But dad is scared of the horse. He’s not gonna ride on it.
Me: Horse? ( quick brainstorm on Disneyland attractions) Oh, you mean on the Merry-Go-Round?
BerryBites: Uh-huh. But we’re not gonna go on the Yo Ho Pirates Carrot of the Bean.
Me: We’re not?
BerryBites: Uh-huh. And then we’ll go on the Little Mermanade and I’m scared of Ursula so dad has to cover my eyes. But I’m big, so I’m not scared of Ursula!
Me: (chuckling) Oh-kay…
BerryBites: Mom, is this our car?
Me: Yep. It’s our car.
BerryBites: How do you know that?
Me: Because I know it.
BerryBites: But HOW do you know it?
Me: Because I’m mommy. Mommy knows everything. (ha!)
BerryBites: BUT MOM, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT???!!!
Me: (think, think, think) Oh…um…because God made me that way.
BerryBites: God made you that way?
Me: Yep. He did.
BerryBites: (letting it sink in) Ohhhh…God made you that way!
-5 seconds of silence -
BerryBites: God made ME just like this. AND, he made my pink dress just for ME!

So, what’s the issue with Ursula? My kids are scared to death of her…

She’s never seen the movie, just the ride at Disneyland. And I think it’s the dark room that they placed Ursula in. But she’s slowly getting over it. =)
LOL…I really enjoyed those conversations and I am sure everyone who can read this will be laughing too… have a great day!

Thanks. I hope you had a wonderful day too! I really need to invest in a voice recorder though. It’s getting pretty hard to remember all their conversations in the car!
So cute. My guys are ten and twelve and they don’t even speak to me in the car because they never look up from their books! If I want them to hear me I have to say, “Boys, close your books now.”

I suppose telling them to stop reading, as opposed to saying stop watching that video, isn’t so bad, right? I’ve never liked the idea of putting tv/dvd players in the car. There are people inside to talk to and beautiful things to see outside – why confine them to the tube? One thing though, don’t your kids get dizzy when they read in the car? I know I always do!

thanks!
She’s really screaming inside: ARE YOU SURE IT’S OUR CAR?!
Hehehehe.
LOL. Don’t you wish cars came with those divider windows like limousines did? You know, the one between the driver (front) and the passengers in the back? I’d love to be able to contain my kids’ noises back there!

Hahahah he could either be a kid or an adult on drugs. They pretty much sound the same, if you think about it…

The best wisdom *always* comes from the back seat while the mom is driving. (-:

Right? They say the best things when you know you can’t do anything about it because you’re driving! Hahaha
i’ll be walking around all week explaining my behavior with “god made me that way,” for which i say – thank you!!

Cute. I find that the car makes my normally loquacious offspring even more so. Loe the pink dress. Fun, Erin

I think it’s because they know we can’t escape them no matter what they say!
I love the contradiction in the little one’s statements (strawberry is favorite but I don’t like it….I’m scared of Ursula, but I’m big so I’m not scared). So precious! Also love it that she called it the Little Mermanade.
Miranda recently posted..I Did It….
Hahaha! I love this…little mermanade and Pirates of the bean! So funny.
And yes, Ursula is totally scary.
Mirjam recently posted..Innocence
I love the way she names them too. We’re all kinda starting to call them by what she calls them!
Next time, the answer should be, “No sweetheart, this is NOT our car. We stole it from the neighbors. Now keep your head down!”
Youngman Brown recently posted..The Eve of Opening Day (A "Poem")
Oooh! I totally need to try that with my oldest kid and see what she says! I might not want to say it in front of the toddler though. She might repeat it in public! Lol.
Your kids sound adorable! I got grilled on the car thing too. Who knew it confused them so much! I just told him by the license plate. I couldn’t think of anything else!
Michelle Longo recently posted..Guilty Pleasures.
Hahaha! Whatever comes to mind, right? They’d keep asking anyway no matter what we say most of the time!
I miss little kid talk. All I ever get from my pre-teen is, “ILLEGAL!!!” when someone breaks the law. It scares me.

Oh my goodness. I’m still in denial about the teenage years. My kids will never go through that phase. I won’t let them. Haha!
