Giving Time - Teaching Skills for Life

Funny things kids say - He told me.....

I was driving around taking pictures of houses for my job as an insurance agent, and I had my then six year old son in the back of the car. He was thirsty, so I went through the drive thru at Mcdonald's to get him a Sprite which I then told him to be careful and not to spill it.

He said, :I won't Mom, I am vigilant.

I spun around in my seat and looked at him, and said, "Richard, do you know what that word means?"

He rolled his eyes at me and then said, "Duh, it means careful. Didn't you know that?"
