Kids Say/Write the Darndest Things
I get so tickled by some of the things my kids say or write. The other day, Annika was going over her camp packing list. SHe's nine years old, but this will be the longest time she's been away from us--a whole week. I don't doubt, as per her insistance, that she can handle it. It's just going to be hard on me, really. When I finally convinced myself that it was time to let go for that long, I read the packing list and see that she's added "toilet tree kit." When Lukas was 10, we discovered he called ear lobes "ear loafs." Erik consistently wrote down "oak milk" on the grocery list instead of "oat meal." When Lukas sang "This land is my land; this land is your land," he'd sing "I saw a puppy" instead of "I saw above me." I just think it all shows the innocence and inexperience of children. Plus, it makes me feel alot smarter. Course that'll all change when they all hit teenage years. Then, my IQ will plummet by 30 points and they'll be wiping drool from the corner of my mouth.
