bright sayings
Family bright sayings:
#1 Granddaughter (8 years old): At a planetarium I explained the space scene of
the 7 astronauts who died in the explosion. Very perplexed, Stephanie said, “Did
they already have the chalk on them?” I asked what she meant. She said, “When
people die on TV they always have chalk drawn around them. Did they already have
the chalk on them when they went up?”
#2 When our daughter was 6 years old, she prayed for the missionaries in the
corn fields (foreign fields).
#3 I loved to match plaids when I sewed my little girl’s and my clothes. She met
a lady and Debbie said, “I like her; she has a plaid face.”
#4 Our daughter was learning to spell and a boy was walking around the
supermarket saying, “P-O-P pop, P-O-P pop, P-O-P pop. Debbie said she wanted to
learn to spell pop, too. I said “Go ahead.” She repeated at home what that boy
had said. I then said to her brother who is 10 mos. 14 days younger, “Davey,
spell pop.” He rattled off: “Two-S-N-A.”
#5 Our son’s reaction with his first bite of pizza: I like it, but I don’t like
the taste of it.
#6 My mother asked our daughter how she liked grandma’s new glasses. “I like the
glass of them.”
#7 Son came home wanting a toy just like a friend’s. Convincing me to buy it he
said, “It didn’t cost much ’cause Johnny’s mom got change back.”
#8 Tickets were given to the children at a company picnic to redeem for rides,
or items in the gift shop. For Show & Tell at school Dave queried his classmates
on how much his fireman’s hat had cost. All kinds of guesses. In exasperation he
stammered, “Only 3 tickets!!”
#9 A Nigerian man and platinum blond wife were at the company picnic with their
children. The boss’s little girl announced to her mom, “Next time we get a baby,
let’s get a brown one — they’re so cute!”
#10 When Samantha’s second sister was born, she exclaimed: “Oh, No! Another
girl! What are we going to do with her?”
