“Children seldom misquote. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said.”
~Author Unknown
It’s way past for another silly kid quote. Some of you are my Facebook friends and saw this as a status a few weeks ago, but I felt it was quite worthy of the silly kid quotes series. Man, where do these kids come up with these things??
“Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardour, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shames, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.”
– Aldous Huxley
Funny kiddo time again.
This is a precious brother/sister moment from my son’s exploratory surgery last year. Gets ya right in the feels, man.
“Don’t handicap your children by making their lives easy.”
– Robert A. Heinlein
I’m on a family vacation this week, but I still felt it necessary to share a kid quote. Every week needs a silly kid quote.
“You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.”
― Franklin P. Adams
Silly Kid Quotes: Week 8!
I borrowed a kid for this week’s quote.
This is my good friend Bobbi Jo’s now-7-year-old daughter, Avary. I adore this kid. I got the chance to babysit her and her brother one week last year and I collected a few funny memories from the experience. This is one of them.
“Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate.”
– Anonymous
Ahhhh. This week’s silly kid quote comes from a few years back – a conversation I overheard between my kids while playing on the swings.
The wisdom of the older brother, man. There’s nothing like it.
“Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.”– Ernest Dimnet
He’s 17 now, but this is a little conversation we had last year:
“My children are the reason I laugh, smile, and want to get up every morning”
– Gena Lee Nolin
“Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.”
– Khalil Gibran
I have a new idea. I think I’m going to start a Silly Kid Quote series.
Once a week (hopefully!), I’m going to post a picture/quote with something silly my kids have said. They are CONSTANTLY making me laugh out loud (that’s “LOL” to you text hipsters) with their silly antics and funny conversations, so why not share them with the world?
(And besides, I love making this pic quote thingies. They’re nifty.)
Okay, enough from me. It’s time to let the kiddos do the talking. Without further adieu: Silly Kid Quote #1.
(Keep coming back for more!)
