The darnest things kids say…

Conversation over YM. Talking to cousin who is 10 years old.

Me: Hi sweetie, what did you do today? How have you been?

Kid: I was looking at magazines.

Me: Oh which one is this? (thinking that it is one of those princess magazines kids buy nowadays)

Kid: Mommy’s magazine

Me: (getting very curious) Which magazine is this?

Kid: (changes topic and speaks in a very high pitched tone) Tahnee, I cut out the picture of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

Me: (curiouser and curiouser) and why did you do that?

Kid: I paste Tom Cruise’s head to Brad Pitt’s body

Me: (wanting to bang my head against the wall beside me and straining myself long enough to ask why she did so…calmly asks) Why did you do that baby?

Kid: Because Brad Pitt has a hot body and Tom Cruise has a nice face.

Me: (stunned)

Conversation with Kid above’ sis through YM

Me: So are you going back for Justin (another cousin)’s wedding?

Kid: I don’t know. Maybe. Are you?

Me:(felt like teasing the kids) No. But I am getting married next year.

Kid: (shouts) Tahnee you are getting married!! 

(The next thing I knew, there were 4 windows popping up on my screen. Asking the same things, whether or not I was getting married)

Me: (starts laughing) No no. I am not getting married.

Kid: Oh okay. I really thought you were getting married.

Me: Why made you think I was going to get married? Do I look old? (fishing for a compliment)

Kid: No you don’t look old.

Me: (big grin splattered over face) So why did you really think I was getting married?

Kid: Because your age is old

Me (kill me now)
