I have decided I need to start documenting the things my children say.
Of course we are country folk raising country folk kids.
This is a truly unique childhood these days. Not many kids get to experience the events that my kids get to experience and for this I am very blessed and grateful.
With that I will try to post the various comments my kids make that in any normal circumstances might make us sound like we are a bunch of crazy people, but living in the country these are normal everyday happenings.
the first comical statement is from none other than E3.
one day he went to the bathroom. After I finished helping him, I noticed in the pot an unusual amount of "stuff" (you know what i mean). Surprised, I asked "did all of that come out of you?"
E3 replied as proud as he could be, "yep, just like an egg"
I busted! of course just like an egg! HA only a country kid.
Next is a story a friend of ours told me
My friend and her husband live in the mountains in MT. They live kind of back country like and butcher all of their own meat right there at the ranch.
One day, at the ranch, they were watching their 3 year old niece .
My friend and her husband tried really hard not to let her watch them butcher their chickens (it can be kind of gruesome for a small child). So as they were going about cutting the heads off the chickens, trying to keep out of sight of the little girl, Carey, my friend did not notice her niece sneak up behind her. As Carey turned around with two freshly butchered chickens, one in each hand, there standing directly in front of her was her niece. Shocked and not wanting to totally scare her niece, all Carey could think to say was "well, what do you think?" With out hesitation or shock her niece simply replied,
"yep, they look pretty good to me"
I am sure this would not be the normal response from a child who did not grow up around this. A normal child might run away scared and crying from the watching of a chicken killing, but notthis one. HA!
I also want to start writing about some of the things that come out my mouth not only as a mother, but also as a mother of wild country children.
Have any of you other mothers out there ever heard yourself say or yell at your child who was in another room...
"NO YOU CANNOT THROW THE CAT LIKE A FOOTBALL!"
"NO YOU CANNOT RIDE THE CAT LIKE A HORSE"
Is this normal mother talk? please let me know.
(PLEASE BE ADVISED, OUR CAT IS HEALTHY AND ALIVE, SHE JUST ENDURES A LOT OF "LOVE" FROM MY CHILDREN)
