The Darndest Things
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008I believe it was Bill Cosby who coined the phrase, “Kids say the darndest things”. Well, Kristin and I have realized this to be true as Cameron is starting to become very verbal. A few of our favorites.
The color of money – With our (and everyone else’s) IRA’s in the tank lately, I am glad Cameron is already thinking green (money, that is). If you ask him what color anything is, it’s green. Cameron, What color is Elmo? green. What color is the sky? green. However, this is advantageous while boasting of his smarts in front of others. Just ask him what color something green is. Works every time. However, astute individuals may notice you always ask him what color a green item is.
Love of the sport – Cameron has got to be the best football fan ever. He cannot bother himself with rooting for an individual team or player. He stands in front of the TV and proudly exclaims, “Yay, football!” when anything happens. He just likes to see the sport do well. This is fine except when he is rooting for a team that just scored on Tennessee. Then he is scolded immediately.
The third person – Like the Rock, Cameron always references himself in the third person. This may be a common thing among toddlers as me or mine is a whole different concept than every object having a label. Anyways, I thought it was funny recently when I was tickling him by biting on his ribs, and he said, “No Daddy, Don’t bite Cameron!”.
These are probably not as funny to some people as they are to us, I know I have sat through many “guess what my kid does” talks. But, I thought some of the parents reading might appreciate it. Let’s hear of your funny stories.
