Out of the mouths of babes

Some various words that recently left the mouth of my 5 year old daughter...


"Mommy, my bug bite itches. I need some whipped cream on it." She was referring to the anti-itch cream I have in the bathroom.

When it is dinnertime at our house, the TV is required to be turned off. My son sat down at the dinner table and then said, "Oops, I'm gonna go turn the TV off." and in a very 'matter of factly', serious tone, just like an adult would, Ashelyn says, "Yeah, you should do that."

Ashelyn just got a new bike. It still has the training wheels on it and she was exploring them on the ground the other day. She has heard other people refer to bikes that do not have training wheels as "two wheelers". So, out of the blue, and totally random, she says, "Two wheelers can't talk mom."

Ashelyn was playing in the living room a couple nights ago and I was in the kitchen. She came running in and gave me a huge bear hug and, once again, totally random and out of the blue, she said, "I don't like mushrooms mommy." (there was no talk of mushrooms or anything of the sort before she said that) Where in the world did THAT come from Ashelyn? lol

My friend has a three year old son and Ashelyn refers to him as "The tiny one" and will use that instead of his name to get his attention. She refers to my friend's husband as, "The big guy".

Ashelyn came running into the room the other day after being at her father's house and she showed me her bare foot and said, "I got big feet. Big, big, bigger, big big feet. Daddy says."
