When my siblings and I were growing up, my mom would write down some of the funny things that we would say. I ran across her list a little while ago and couldn't stop laughing; kids say the funniest things! Anyway, I thought I'd share some of my favorite Holdaway children quotes with all of you.
Me:
- "When I get married I'm going to find someone with lots of money. Isn't that what you're supposed to do?" (4 years old)
- My mom was getting me ready for church and I asked, "Is today fast Sunday?" My mom told me that it wasn't, so I thought for a minute and then very seriously asked, "Slow Sunday?" (4 years old)
- My mom asked me if I knew what mommy's job was. "You work for me," I replied. (5 years old)
- While watching Olympic wrestling I said, "They aren't dressed modest, mom. Are their suits on backwards?" (5 years old)
- While we were driving to school one morning my mom and I passed a police car. I warned her, "You better act like you know what you're doing, mom, cause there's a police man." (6 years old)
- During the winter Olympics I liked to pretend that I was a figure skater. Before I started one of my performances I addressed the audience and said, "Before I start my skating, I want to thank all of you for watching me. If you want to throw anything onto the ice, I will accept it. I'm really enjoying all of my medals." (7 years old)
- "All the boys in my class love me. Even the one who picks his nose." (7 years old)
- "I can't like Raisin Bran." (2 years old)
- One night Cam asked my dad if he could have ice cream for dinner. My dad told him that he needed to eat something healthy. Cameron responded, "Ok, I'll have healthy ice cream then." (4 years old)
- "Holdaway...that's a funny name!" (4 years old)
- My mom put chapstick on Cameron's lips and he screamed, "SHE'S TURNING ME INTO A GIRL." (4 years old)
- We were going out to eat at a buffet, and we explained to Cameron that a buffet is a place where you can get whatever you want. "Good," he said. "I want a toy." (4 years old)
- "Mom, I'm cool you know. So I don't hold hands." (4 years old)
- Cameron was showing how he could count to 20, but he accidentally skipped over the numbers 15 and 18. We pointed that out to him, and he paused and said, "Uh, I'll count those later." (6 years old)
- My mom told Parker that he was "double cute!" He said to her, "You're double cute, and your feet are double stinky!" (3 years old)
- Parker's foot fell asleep and he described it by saying, "My foot is all sparkalish!" (3 years old)
- Parker came up to my mom and said, "You know everything, right mama?" "Yes, I do," she replied. Parker then said, "But dad doesn't know everything, right?" (3 years old)
- Parker went into the bathroom, pulled down his pants, and said, "Let's see if this dog will talk." (4 years old)
- Parker is lactose intolerant, but one day my dad accidentally offered him something with cheese in it. "I can't eat that, dad. I'm black toast intolerant. But I still like black toast though." (5 years old)
- "I'm going to marry Justin Bieber." (5 years old)
- A frog jumped out of the bushes when my mom and Paige were working in the garden. My mom asked Paige if it was a frog or a toad. "I need to learn my frogs and toads," Paige said. My mom said that she did too. "Mom, you're forty, you should know your frogs and toads by now." (5 years old)
- I asked Paige why she was so cute. She said, "Because Jesus made me that way!" (5 years old)
- We were driving past the temple and Paige said, "That's where you get married! But you need a boy first." (6 years old)
- Paige put a cough drop in her mouth but didn't like it very much. She said, "Great, this tastes terrible. But I already put it in my mouth so now I have to deal with it." (7 years old)
- "Mom, I forgot. Are we African American or Native American?" (8 years old)
- "I'm just being sarcasm." (8 years old)
- "Emma, does everyone you know speak English?" "Yes, Paige, did you forget that I live in America?" "You don't live in America. You live at college." "My college is in America." "No it's not. It's in Illinois." (8 years old)
- "Emma, are you the only Mormon at BYU?" (8 years old)
