As the parent of a 4.5 year old and a 1.5 year old, I have plenty of funny kid stories to share. I suppose most of them are "you had to be there" moments, but they are funny to me. Since I am paranoid that I constantly go on and on about my kids, as I'm sure I do, I don't share every story, but Sofia pulled a good one last night that I'd love to share if you'll just indulge me:
John was reading Sofia her bedtime stories last night and she had chosen a Barney (as in of the annoying purple dinosaur persuasion) book about the alphabet. I am not sure exactly where this book came from, as we have inherited so many along the way and that is one of very few kids' shows that I don't allow in our house, but I digress.....
John and Sofia were reading this Barney ABC Animals book - one zoo animal for each letter of the alphabet. Rather than reading the actual words in the book, John was sort of using the book as flash cards and letting Sofia say "A for alligator", etc. On occasion, they would come to a letter and Sofia would get the animal wrong, like, the letter "J" was affiliated with the picture of a jaguar, but Fia would say "J for leopard," because she doesn't understand the difference. Well, they came to the letter "W" and there was a picture of a walrus. Sofia says "W for seal!" and John says, "No, that's a walrus." Sofia repeats "Oh, a walrus," then she thinks about it for a minute and says, "Oh, I know, like purizon walrus, I've seen that commercial!"
We laughed for the rest of the night.
Enjoy your weekend everybody!
