Hope Says...

Mom: Did you eat the frosting off that cookie?
Hope: Sure I did. I tried just looking at it. But I wanted it.

*Hope lies on her tummy rests her chin in her hands and sighs.*
Dad: What is that sigh for?
Hope: Nothing. I'm just thinking about grandma. I miss her.

Dad: Are you excited for Thanksgiving?
Hope: You're welcome.
Dad: No, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We are going to have a big turkey dinner.
Hope: Who will be joining us?
Dad: No one. It's just going to be us.
Hope: Oh. There's going to be a lot of food.

What a shame it is to have such brilliantly witty children and not write down every word that comes out of their mouths. So much has been said that I'm sure I have forgotten, that I swore in the moment I would remember forever. From now on I will do my best to document those beautiful words on this blog to keep for my children and to share with you.

I love it!!! There is an old book written by Art Linkletter call "Kids say the darnest things". I remember reading some on it once. I smiled the whole time. This is a good idea Linz it could even make you a rich woman some day
