"The Real World"

Believe it or not one of my favorite things about kids are the things that come out of their mouths.

No! Really! I know....it's not always what you (or the guy standing in line with you at the grocery store) may want to hear but it usually makes a great story, right?

I call them Kidism's.

For Brandon, my oldest my two favorites were Pokaneo (spelled for phonetics) instead of Pinnoccio (forgive my spelling), and Sprinkner, sprinkner to describe a sprinkler in the park.

For Amber is was velagator instead of elevator. And, washin' de windows while scrubbing the tiles in the bathtub.

Kidism's....

Or, call them by the name of the child that speaks them which in this case would be a Claireism.

Claire loves to eat out. I think she thinks it's just a normal part of life. No blame on her parents. It's just fast and easier sometimes.

She really enjoys pasta and/or noodles of almost any kind but really likes Chinese. So, it would be a no brainer that when her mom found PF Changs in a bag (the food, not the store...duh) that it would be fast and easy....at home.

So, she asked Claire if she would like some noodles and she said yes. So, her mom pulled out the frozen bag of PF Changs simulated food and Claire indicated that she didn't want that...she wanted the Real World. Huh? We blew it off and didn't think much more about it.

Amber "cooked" and plated the food and put it down in front of her daughter who promptly pitched a fit an re announced in a very pissy tone "I want the Real World, not this"!

We asked her what she meant. She wanted Chinese food from "out there"pointing her chubby little, 4 year old index finger to outside. Restaurant food! That's what she considered the "Real World".

We burst out laughing once we realized what she was talking about! Man does she have a rude awakening coming to her in a few years!

Oh, and by the way.....she ate the food her mom prepared. She really liked it. Go figure.
