Kids Say The Darnest Things

You know that kids say the darnest things. I have to share this with you.

My husband had taught Stephen, our 7 year old grandson a little diddy a while back...

M R 2. C M WINGS?
L I B. M R DUCKS.

On January 1 this year my mom suffered from Bell's Palsy. It affected the right side of her face. Her mouth is drawn down, eye is kinda saggy and she talks yet with a pronounced lisp.

We went to Steak 'N' Shake a couple of months ago. We were sitting there having a nice time of fun and family time when out of the blue Stephen says....

M R GRANDMA
M R NOT - I replied...
M R 2. C M BROKEN MOUTH? (He pulled down one side of his lip and talked out of a small area of his mouth.)

Needless to say we burst out laughing! Oh dear! It just came out of no where and surprised us all!

Then a couple of weeks ago we sat down with Stephen to make out some SUMMER GOALS for him.

1. Read 100 books. He loves to read and I didn't want him to lose it through the summer!
2. Ride his bike without training wheels. Yes! He is a scaredy cat but willing to do this!
3. Tie his shoes. He just doesn't get it! Bunny ears, regular, nothing!

Then he decides everyone needed a list...

• Daddy's list was don't yell so much and stop swearing.
• Grandpa's list was stop teasing and no snacks before supper.
• Great-grandma's list was to go to the doctor's to learn not to lisp.
• Max's list was not to lick him anymore (Max is our dog).
• I felt left out! He gave me no list!
