I’m sure they are due to all my deep thoughts

April 17, 2008

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.

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! :)

3 suburbancorrespondent April 17, 2008 at 6:44 am

Tell her it’s because you didn’t eat your veggies and that makes your skin too thin.

4 Erin April 17, 2008 at 6:52 am

And it is for this reason that I pull up your blog every morning, always puts a smile on my face :0)

5 Joni April 17, 2008 at 6:53 am

That’s why I like you. Real stories, real wrinkles, real funny.

6 Sister Honey Bunch April 17, 2008 at 6:56 am

Gotta love it.

7 Melanie April 17, 2008 at 7:18 am

I must be REALLY smart.

8 Dana April 17, 2008 at 7:21 am

My favorite is when my teens point out my wrinkles and my zits…

9 Martha Jane April 17, 2008 at 7:21 am

That has made my morning…Thanks for sharing…That is hysterical….

10 Linda at 2nd Cup April 17, 2008 at 7:36 am

My daughter asked mother why she had cracks in her face.

11 Chelle' April 17, 2008 at 7:38 am

Better get a lock on that there door. Noone needs to wake up to such a comment. :0)

12 Leslie April 17, 2008 at 7:42 am

Your child is just hilarious!

13 Becoming Me April 17, 2008 at 7:47 am

I don’t miss a thing do they?

14 Emily April 17, 2008 at 7:59 am

That Caroline. She has such a way with words. She’s gonna make you proud one day.

15 Misti April 17, 2008 at 8:02 am

That is the cutest thing I’ve ever heard!

16 Mel April 17, 2008 at 8:02 am

When my four year old looks at a zit on my face, she says, “Mommy, your brain is coming out.” Kids, gotten love ‘em.

17 Muddy April 17, 2008 at 8:14 am

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. :)

18 Jenna April 17, 2008 at 8:23 am

She has such a way with words, that one. :)

19 misslisslee April 17, 2008 at 8:36 am

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?

20 Shelly McCabe April 17, 2008 at 9:07 am

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.

21 Amanda- VintageDutchGirl April 17, 2008 at 9:17 am

Oh the joys…

22 Kim April 17, 2008 at 9:22 am

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.

23 Sarah April 17, 2008 at 9:39 am

They say the darndest things, don’t they!?! :)

24 The Pumkin Patcch April 17, 2008 at 9:51 am

OH.MY.GOODNESS.

MUST.STOP.LAUGHING!

25 r r mama April 17, 2008 at 9:59 am

Kids are always so honest!

26 Stephanie April 17, 2008 at 10:01 am

Keeping it real =)

27 Shalee April 17, 2008 at 10:03 am

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.

28 Amy loves Bud April 17, 2008 at 10:10 am

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.

29 Erin April 17, 2008 at 10:42 am

Oh yes. The things kids say.

30 Jane April 17, 2008 at 11:07 am

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!

31 Stephanie April 17, 2008 at 12:05 pm

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”

33 Ashleigh (Heart and Home) April 17, 2008 at 1:08 pm

What are kiddos for but to awaken us with such sweet and precious thoughts?

34 Frizzlefry April 17, 2008 at 1:14 pm

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!!

35 Tiffany April 17, 2008 at 2:01 pm

I just laughed out load. Kids say the cutest things! :)

36 rachel April 17, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Ohhhh, I was just dying! God bless our kids…they keep us humble before Him and others, huh?!

37 Daphne April 17, 2008 at 3:21 pm

Why is it that our kids must point out all of our flaws, not just to us, but to others too?

38 BrownEyedGirl April 17, 2008 at 3:47 pm

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).

39 Amy April 17, 2008 at 4:22 pm

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…

40 mommy lion April 17, 2008 at 4:39 pm

Ah kids – gotta love their brutally honest remarks! I’m liking the deep thoughts excuse though. *smile*

41 Tammy April 17, 2008 at 8:49 pm

Okay….now it makes sense. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Thanks sweetie.

42 Susan April 18, 2008 at 2:45 am

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.

43 Becca April 18, 2008 at 4:16 am

haha gotta love kids! :-) I cant wait to have my own in 4.5 months!

44 groovyoldlady April 18, 2008 at 1:18 pm

Hahahahahahahaha!

45 Erin April 18, 2008 at 1:41 pm

That is so fun! Wish my brains weren’t spilling outta my eyes!

46 Tracy April 19, 2008 at 9:36 pm

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
