Story Time

[yayamommy]

I choose 'story time' but really this is to explain howI like to agree with people.  Read on, you'll get it. 

A family was sitting around the kitchen table talking after the kids had gone to bed one night when one of the oldest walks in the door with a big bag of Mcdonalds for sharing.  As everyone starts munching happily on their late night snack, the delicious smell of the burgers and fries wafted gently upstairs and made their way through the cracked door of the 3 years old bedroom.
About 5 minutes later, the unaware adults kept happily munching until all of a sudden, two little eyes peeped up over the edge of the table and says, "I like cheeseburgers."
Once they scraped themselves off the ceiling, laughter erupted throughout the room.  Dad says, "well, honesty IS the best policy!"
The 3 year old couldn't agree more. [/color]

This is a true story from a good friend of mine who is the uncle to the 3 year old.  Now when anyone has something we want, or mentions a fave anything our standard response is,  "I like (insert happy things here)"
Sometimes it's good to keep it simple.

I like stories.

Here's a cute one...
A friend had her 5 year old granddaughter at church, as they sat listening to the sermon there were two boys making noise and my friend leaned over and whispered to her granddaughter "do you know why it's important to be quiet in church?" the girl replied "of course I do grandma, its so everyone can sleep!"

True story!

here's a cute story and my fave from my kids...

My oldest (now 19) is 3.  In preschool.  The teacher asks where you see birds - someone says in the sky - where you see lions - someone says the zoo - where you see fish - my daughter says "Walmart"!  (ours sold fish fyi)   

I like toddler stories...

This is one of those animals that I will absolutely be able to tell Sophie, the fish are more afraid of ME than you are of it--watch em run.  They have a six sense about these things!!!

Why fish??? I wonder???
