Kids Say The Darndest Things

September 4, 2007 by Dave.

Sophia likes to make friends at whatever playground we’re at. This time she was playing with a little boy at the time on the gymboree. They were talking

Boy 1: What do we play now?
Sophia: I know. How about Jack and Jill? I’ll be Jack and you be Jill.

I’m not sure if this means she wants to be a boy or that she wants to bust her head wide open.

At the same playground there was a mother and her young son playing on one of the set ups there. He ws pushing her mom on one of the sliding monkey bars. Then he says, loud enough for people to hear from yards away:

Boy 2: Mom, I don’t want to sound mean, but you have a hole in your pants and I can see your underwear.

Not sure it was mean, but boy was his mom embarrassed. I told her at least he was being honest.

Going back home, I stopped at a spot as I saw a duck swimming around the pond. I tried to get Sophia to see the duck, but she seemed to keep looking right past it even though I kept pointing it out. As she sat facing away from the pond, the duck finally it let out a couple of quacks.

Sophia: It sounds like a duck.
Me: That’s because it is a duck.

Somehow I don’t think she got it yet. The duck lets out another quack and then she spins around.

Sophia: You were right, daddy, it is a duck.

Am I confused or is she?
