Weekend Reflection #34 - Our Kids Say the Funniest Things
Posted Nov 21 2008 10:12am
Yesturday we were riding in the van coming home from a visit to one of our local malls. My oldest (Courtney, 11) was sitting in the back seat listening to her MP3 player and the two little ones were sitting rather quietly in their car seats. Then Courtney said, "Mom Ciara just pulled a huge chunk of hair out of her head!"
I replied, "Ciara, don't do that! Why did you pull your hair out?"
Then she started pushing on her head from underneath her chin and replied with this. " I can't get my head off!"
Chuckling I asked her why.
Ciara said, " I need a new head."
I told her that she was pretty and did not need a new head. So my husband said, "Ciara, you can't replace your head like Barbie."
Ciara replied, "I need a pretty head like Barbie."
My husband told her that Barbie is superficial and she does not want to be like Barbie. I don't think my two year old understood that but that is how the conversation ended. Hopefully she still does not want a Barbie head.
I know the rules for this meme is to reflect back on your week but I thought that this story would be fitting for Weekend Reflection.
