Kids Talk

Laura: Dad, I love you so, so much. You’re the best Dad I’ve ever ever had and the best Dad I ever ever will have.

Laura (in the supermarket): When are we going to buy an egg slicer? Deb: When you start eating sliced eggs. Laura: But I don’t like eggs!

The three year old son of friends had his big toe amputated after a nasty accident with a motorbike chain. Deb rather hesitantly told the kids about it. Laura responded: But will he grow another one?

They dug a really big hole… well, not very big,… but it was big… -Laura

Laura: Dad, can you tell me what it was like when you went to school, in the olden days?

Mary gave us a couple of gifts after staying with us: Daniel: Wow, an electric toothbrush! Laura: and a CD player!

Deb: I used to go to that pool when I was a girl. Laura: Was that pool there in the olden days?

(Daniel has a rose) Laura: Be careful, Daniel, you’ll poke your eye. Daniel: Hey Laura, I’ll poke my eye out and then I can get a glass eye. And in a few years time I’ll put it in Daddy’s bottle of beer and when he goes to take a drink, he’ll get a big surprise.

[Driving to Portsea, coming down a hill to see a great view in front of us.] Daniel: I can see Japan!

Deb: You don’t seem to feel the cold, Daniel. Daniel: That’s because my fur is getting very long.
