My grand kids are not only perfect and beautiful, bu they make me laugh every day! This morning, Jack demanded I get him some milk and I told him not to snap at me. He looked at me and said with all sincerity, "Grams, you know I can't snap yet. We've been practicing!" I stopped in my tracks and busted up laughing. He was totally right. We have been practicing how to snap our fingers. He took what I said to him literally and I found it so funny. These little ones know the meaning of life ~ laugh a lot, love even more and your days are all pretty good. While I am teaching him to snap, he can teach me these important life lessons. I think I have the better end of that deal!
Hilarious! :)

A little hockey story you might enjoy about being taken literally. My now 15 year old son was about 5 or 6 and was playing in one of his first games at Brea Hockey Club (ahh memories of that place...). Anyway, he railed some kid into the boards and got a penalty. Unbelievable because he was a very mild mannered kid and believe me it wasn't because he couldn't stop, he was a very finesse skater. So after the game we asked him why he did it. He said "the coach told me to backcheck so I checked him in the back." We laughed so hard we could barely explain what backcheck meant. I miss the cute things the kids say. Love ya
ReplyDeleteLaura, love this story! Did you know Sean & Amber got married at Brea Hockey Club?? It is where they first met.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. It is a great story. I miss BHC so much. It was such a family rink. All my kids grew up there. We still have friends that are special to us that we met there.
