Cathy and Jeremy had us over for dinner tonight, and as always it was a pleasure to see them and their kids. Jade (4 years old) is currently seeking sponsorship for a fun-run she is doing at our local YMCA, so Kristy and I sprung a ten for her single lap around the running track.
Since it seems like quite good money to me (it’s a really, really short running track) I asked Jade, “So, since I’m putting up ten dollars, do you think you can win the race for me?”
Jade looked at me blankly for a second, and then in her fairly thick kiwi accent replied with: “look – I wrapped my pen in a piece of paper!”
Kids. You gotta love ‘em.

I’m sure Owen would ‘say the darndest things’ – if only the child would just SPEAK!!!!!
Not that I’m frustrated at all by the lack of vocab prowess from our nearly 2 year old at all
Sounds like Ralph from the Simpsons! “My cat’s name is mittens”
