Janice’s 4 year old son Jackson constantly cracks me up with the things he says.
The other day our neighbor Julie gave us some homemade muffins. As usual Julia wouldn’t eat hers, and so Jackson got to eat both. A couple hours later, as we were playing outside, Jackson announced,
“I want to go over to Julie’s house and thank her for those nice muffins.”
Surprised and smiling to myself at his thoughtfulness, I said, “What a great idea Jackson. But, she’s not home, she’s at work.”
He replied, “My mommy works at home, so I’m lucky. Julia and I are lucky because our mommies work at home. But my mommy has gone to work today. She doesn’t usually go to work, but she’s gone today.”
I asked, “Oh, really? Where is she working today?”
“Well, she hasn’t really gone to work… she’s gone to bed.”
I laughed with relief that he had said that to me and not someone else or Janice might have been rather embarrassed. In her defense, she did have a bad cold that day and so going to bed was an appropriate thing to do.

This was a riot! I laughed when Sue told me – that little kid is too smart for MY good!

Haha!! If my daughter gives me the phone when I’m in the middle of a nap, I try to put on my most “awake” voice that I can muster!!! I’m sure people can tell I was sleeping, as a lot of times when I’m awake people ask me if I was sleeping!! I’ve been attempting to be more chipper when I answer the phone.

Really cute! Your two little ones are going to grow up like siblings. That is just awesome. (I hope Janice feels better tomorrow.) Blessings, e-Mom

I just did a similar post with several “funnies” my little girl has come out with. You should visit and read them for a good laugh.
