Kid's say the darnedest things!

Over the past week Sydney has been coming up with the funniest comments. I suppose it's probably the age. She'll be 5 in December. But I couldn't let them pass without putting it out there for posterity. If anything, they should make you smile and maybe even laugh.

#1: Syd was using the tv remote as some sort of drum stick. Larry quickly told her to stop because she would break it. Her reply...

"But Dad, it's OK. It has batteries."

(As if batteries can fix anything! Apparently in her mind they do!)

#2: Syd has become extremely fascinated by homes. Especially since she knows that in the near future we might be moving into one. She has noticed that mom and dad look at them on the internet and casually walk through model homes on the weekends. But to our demise she has now made it her responsibility to help us in this quest. I can't get through a car ride without hearing this...

"Mom, can we have that house there without the bricks? It looks like it has a big backyard. What about that house? Or that one with the car in front?"

"Sydney, not all houses are for sale. We can only get ones that have a sign in front that says it's for sale."

"There's a sign. Is that one for sale? It is really big. I bet it has stairs. I love stairs."

"No that is not a for sale sign. It's a sign telling you that it has a security system on the house."

I won't bother you with the 100 other questions that came after that. I'm sure you get the gist.

#3: It was late at night and I had just put Sydney in her bed. She came out a few minutes later and took her last try at the bathroom. Then she kissed me good night (again) told me she loved me and started to walk back to her room. Sydney then waited for a minute, turned around looked at me, waited again and then came back to my side and asked...

"Mom, do your legs hurt?"

"No my legs don't hurt."

Then she gave me the best look of...well then aren't you coming? I got the hint and helped her back into her bed on the top bunk and kissed her goodnight (for the 5th time).

I treasure these special moments.
