As the crayon rolled fatefully to the counter's edge, Joseph's hand swooped down and caught it in the nick of time. Looking proudly up at me, he declared, "Oh man, I saved his life!!"

When Savannah came home from school yesterday, I asked her how it was and what they had done. It was at that moment she turned to me and said with a slight frown, "Seth doesn't like my kisses."
As my blood froze in my veins, I looked up and her and asked, "what did you say?"
"Seth doesn't like me kissing him"
After recovering from a near heart attack and after some talking, she informed me that she had tried to give him a kiss on his cheek but he didn't want her too, so she was sad.
Desperate to try and make her understand that we don't go around kissing boys I said, "We only kiss people we really, really, really, love! Like daddy!"
At that point she started sobbing and said, "But mom, I LOVE Seth!".
(sigh) It turned out to be a very long conversation.
I do remember a boy kissing me on the cheek in Kindergarten and I was SO MAD that I told the teacher and he got in big trouble. I'm just trying to save her from the same fate!!
And myself from future heart attacks.
7 super cool people speak:
hahahahaha... what happened to all the previous chats where she seemed to know that you only kiss the person you marry?? :)
Adorable (just like the pics in the last post!)--all your kids. I love how children express themselves. :)
Brittany: (sigh) The good ole' days. =)
I don't know. But truthfully, she's always been a bit of a kissy face!
Valerie: Thanks! They can sure say some funny things!
That Savannah is soooo funny! And as soon as you said, "We only kiss people we really, really love," I knew what her answer would be before I read it. At that age, I really, REALLY loved lots of people. :) Good thing I was a kissy person! :)
Ahh....wait till she comes home as a teenager....and expresses the same sentiments...You thought you had a "heart attack" this time...I do believe...you will have a complete "stroke" when Savannah makes a statement like that as a "teenager"....(smile) Wait...as a teenager...she may not "talk about it"....(smile)
I love what little kids say. It is too funny.
My Rebekah told me she has a boyfriend at school. Trying not to freak out! I carefully figured out that her definition of boyfriend is not the same as mine. Phew!
Yeah, I'm probably talking to myself. I'm behind on the blog reading thing.
