A few mornings ago I woke up and Caroline was right in my face staring at me intently.
She reached out her little baby fat hands and rubbed my forehead gently in the sweetest gesture.
Then she got a little bit of a frown on her face and said, “Mama, how come I can see your brains on your forehead?”
Umm, yeah.
Those aren’t brains.
They are wrinkles.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
She is so open and honest….bwahahahahahaha
PS. Why does it take about 4 minutes for your page to load?
I don’t have dialup.
Love that honesty. Good thing she is so stinkin cute!
Tell her it’s because you didn’t eat your veggies and that makes your skin too thin.
And it is for this reason that I pull up your blog every morning, always puts a smile on my face :0)
That’s why I like you. Real stories, real wrinkles, real funny.
Gotta love it.
I must be REALLY smart.
My favorite is when my teens point out my wrinkles and my zits…
That has made my morning…Thanks for sharing…That is hysterical….
My daughter asked mother why she had cracks in her face.
Better get a lock on that there door. Noone needs to wake up to such a comment. :0)
Your child is just hilarious!
I don’t miss a thing do they?
That Caroline. She has such a way with words. She’s gonna make you proud one day.
That is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard!
When my four year old looks at a zit on my face, she says, “Mommy, your brain is coming out.” Kids, gotten love ‘em.
At least you’ll always know where you stand with her. I have a daughter (who is now 17) who has always been so open and honest with me as your sweet Caroline is with you. It only gets better with time.
She has such a way with words, that one.
Younger son used to have a disturbing habit of pointing out every zit or small blemish on my face and saying, “Mommy, you have a boo-boo on your face.” Apparently all the snarling quashed that habit. Or perhaps it was the tears?
Tell her to start thinking hard so her brain can show. I’ve tagged you. Check out my blog for the details. She is so cute.
Oh the joys…
What a lovely way to wake up.Nothing ike a quick boost to your self esteem first thing in the morning.Gotta love the honesty of the 4 yr old.
They say the darndest things, don’t they!?!
OH.MY.GOODNESS.
MUST.STOP.LAUGHING!
Kids are always so honest!
Keeping it real =)
Ha! I’m surprised that you didn’t tell her that they were a gift from her that her own children will give her someday… whether she wants them or not.
Yes, children are delightful aren’t they?
Once when I wasleaning over to kiss Luke goodnight, he jiggled the back of my arm and said, “Wow,Mom,that’s jolly!”
Delightful.
Oh yes. The things kids say.
She is a real crack up! You need to preserve these posts in a book. Then when Caroline has her own daughter you need to send her some of these!
My kids (all 4) want to know why I have “sparkle hair” And why I keep getting more. That reminds me I need to make a hair apt…….

“And I think to myseeellf, what a wonderful wooooorrrld”
What are kiddos for but to awaken us with such sweet and precious thoughts?
Mine youngest loves to point out the zits. Because clearly, they aren’t shining beacons in the mirror every morning! I like the brains on the forehead though. I’ll just tell all my kids it’s to prove that I am smarter than them so they’d better listen to me!!
I just laughed out load. Kids say the cutest things!
Ohhhh, I was just dying! God bless our kids…they keep us humble before Him and others, huh?!
Why is it that our kids must point out all of our flaws, not just to us, but to others too?
Ahhh, true love. You could just tell her that she’s going to look exactly like you when she gets to be the ripe, young age of ____ (insert real/fake age).
okay so you know your past post about P being a III? i got to thinking that if you ever need a celebrity name such as TomKat or Brangelina…your name should be MP3.
obviously i have way to much time on my hands…
Ah kids – gotta love their brutally honest remarks! I’m liking the deep thoughts excuse though. *smile*
Okay….now it makes sense. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Thanks sweetie.
They’re so sweet ’til they bite you – like puppies. Only I get told that my behind looks, um large, when I bend over – Duh!
Question – your advertisement sidebar on the right? It’s ‘speaking’ to me in German. Is that because I happen to be logging in from an ISP in a German country or is everyone getting the Hotels.com add with German prompts? I think I know the answer – just trying to solidify my knowledge of using US computers in a foreign place.
haha gotta love kids!
I cant wait to have my own in 4.5 months!
Hahahahahahahaha!
That is so fun! Wish my brains weren’t spilling outta my eyes!
Tooooooo funny! I saw a card yesterday (actually bought two of them) with a picture of very old, very wrinkly lady scrunching up her face. Inside read, “What good are wrinkles if you can’t do fun things with them?” I laughed hysterically, but my 9 yr. old daughter could not figure out what was so funny.
Anyway, I love your sight.
Blessings,
Tracy
