We see a spotted Great Dane on the street.
Samar: MAMA THERE IS A COW WALKING
Neil: Samar thats a very big dog.
S: No its not na uh its a cow, ask Mama
N:Mama is it a cow or a dog?
I said its a huge dog but it does kinda look like a cow.
Samar and Neil: I TOLD YOU SO…to each other.
————————————————-
All four were in the car. We pass a sign that says Report Drunk Drivers.
Ava: What drunk means?
Ash: When you drink alcohol and become tipsy.
Neil: Yeah and you start talking rubbish, like when daddy was at V’s house.
Samar: Whats alcohol?
Ash: Its what big people drink and its not good for you.Like wine and beer. You can only drink it when you are 21 yrs old.
Ava: Well I am NEVER drinking alcohol and never getting drunk. Mama can you get drunk on soda?
I missed my turn on the street, so engrossed I was listening to their convo. You know how people always tell you children enrichen your life and are precious and all that jazz. Most of the time, ITS NOT TRUE. Having kids will suck everything out of you, from your droppy boobs to paying their stinking college tuition. From grey hairs wondering whether they are going to take drugs/smoke/fight/get into unpleasant situation to worrying about whether their toys have lead.
Those people lied and want you to suffer as well.
But sometimes(very rarely) having kids and listening to their outlook on life can make everything else seem so simple in comparison.
PS: I did a guest post over at Apron Thrift Girl
so true! and so cute!
Kids really are adorable, they have such smart things to say about things they really don’t understand!
My kids said to about the holsteins in the field, “look there’s dalmation cows!” So now they are of course.

hahahahaha! I loved Ava’s never shall drink line…such a sweet conversation
The “I told you so” had me in splits
Your kids are too cute!!
LOL @ “NEVER drinking alcohol and NEVER getting drunk” too.. I had similar ideas, and now they seem too alien
Ava is such a funny girl:)..My brother once called a malnourished calf in India a Tall dog when he was 10:)
Ava can come up with the most hilarious answers! Deh, remember the conversation all the 5 of them had, about the baby…:)
Adorable!!! And I checked your guest post also… Very nice bargain… Good luck for more selling…

When my brother was 3 years old, he saw a cow on the road for the first time. His awed comment was “Amma, what a big dog!”

Hilarious. You should record these statements and play ‘em back when they’re teenagers, LOL!!
We still have Div berating her dad for ‘drinking while driving’…drinking water that is. It’s just so innocent, I still haven’t told her the full meaning!
