Out of the Mouths of Babes

I've set this post to publish late Friday morning, but when I started writing it, it was past midnight, and when I finished, it was nearly 1:30 am.

My bedtime has long since come and gone (and then some), I am tired, and I so wish I was asleep right now. But I am still up because Sophia is having "staying-asleep issues" again. And also gas. I'm thinking maybe her tummy hurts a little bit?

Normally, by this point, I would be way past the end of my rope, but tonight, my spirits are high. Why, you ask?

Well, it might be because I finally got my hands (and mouth) on some chocolate. [I was so desperate for a fix that I resorted to eating chocolate chips straight from the bag, which is really too bad because I was going to use them to bake cookies today, and now I don't have enough].

Or maybe I'm in such a surprisingly good mood thanks to a little blog called Rants From Mommyland.*

A while back, they did a three-part series on the funny things that kids say. The posts are quite literally causing me to laugh out loud (but not too loud, lest I wake Sophia). And the comments that follow each post? A goldmine of funny.

Here is one such comment:

My husband, when he cooks for himself, uses a lot of hot sauce, tuna, and whatever else he finds in the fridge or pantry. One day he was making himself lunch, and our 6yo daughter said: "Daddy, sometimes when you cook it smells bad to little children. I'm one of those children."

Please, do yourself a favor and kick off the weekend with heaping dose of humorous kid-speak.
