Conversations with a four year old
On Saturday afternoon we were all sitting in the family room watching a movie together. Megan was walking around & she picked up one of my Willow Tree figures – it’s a family of three. Mom & Dad are holding a little baby. She brought it over to me & I noticed some red markings on the faces.
So, I asked …
Me: Evan, why is there red crayon on this?
4 yr old: Well, I colored their faces so they could see their baby. They couldn’t see their baby before.
Rule #1 - We only color on paper.
How can you argue with that?!?
Linking up to Tiny Talk Tuesday.
Conversations … thanksgiving edition
This conversation comes courtesy of my husband’s family. We spent Thanksgiving evening at his Aunt’s house. I lose track after ‘1st cousins’. Is it 2nd cousins, 3rd cousins, cousins once removed … I don’t have a clue! This story however is about one of those 2nd, 3rd, or once removed cousins!! But for simplicity sake we’ll say Evan was playing a video game with one of his “cousins” (aka “The 6 year old”) as my husband looked on.
6 year old: Evan would you like me to help you get the car off the road so you can race again?
Evan: Sure.
Husband: Thank you for helping Evan, that was very nice of you.
6 year old: You’re welcome. Would you please be sure to tell my Mom and Dad …
My husband was waiting for the rest of the sentence. It didn’t happen. He just wanted my husband to be sure & tell his Mom & Dad that he was being nice!!
Cracked us up!!
Apparently he gets in trouble alot so he makes sure his parents hear anything good that they can!! And I think he’s a future salesman!
So, any funny Thanksgiving Conversations at your family gathering??
Conversations with a four year old
I’m celebrating a birthday later this week, so today I had this conversation with “the four year old”:
4 year old: Mommy can I come to your birthday party?
Me: Of course!! I’d love for you to come to my birthday party? Guess what? I am going to be Thirty-ONE. Can you believe it?
4 year old: Yep, I can. And guess what, you’ll be ONE just like Megan and Asa.
Me: Ah thanks Evan. But I’m a little older than Megan or Asa.
4 year old: That’s ok. I love birthday parties!
Well … at least he’s not old enough to tell me I’m old yet!

Conversations with a four year old
Scene: My sister, Staci, and I are driving around the mall parking lot looking for a space. Of course we’re doing a little bickering back & forth about which lane to go down, which one to skip, who’s coming out & who’s not, etc. Evan (the 4 year old) and Megan are both in the back seat.
Staci: Oh right there. Right there.
Me: Staci, they are not coming out they’re just backing up.
Staci: Well then get this one. That guy’s coming out.
Me: He’s not coming out, he’s pulling in.
Staci: Ah that one right there. Right there.
4 year old: Mommy you just have to trust Staci on this one. You always trust your friends.
Sigh (and laughter)!
(that little line came courtesy of “Finding Nemo” … I like that one ALOT better than “I hate you Dad” which was also picked up courtesy of “Finding Nemo”)!
Conversations with a four year old
4 year old: Mom, now that my birthday is over does that mean it’s Christmas now?
Mom: Well Christmas is still a ways off. We can look at the calendar & I’ll show you.
4 year old: Oh, so we have to be patient for Christmas.
Mom: Yes … very patient for Christmas. Very, very patient for Christmas
(oh brother!)
Conversations with a four year old
We no longer have a three year old in the house, but so far conversations with a four year old are just as good!!
Scene ~ 4 year old waking up the morning of his birthday.
4 year old: Mom, guess what? I’m 4 now.
Mom: That’s right. You’re 4 now. Happy Birthday!
4 year old: Is it time for my Dinosaur Party yet??
Mom: Not yet. Remember, today you turn 4 and then we’ll go to sleep two more times and THEN it’s your Dinosaur Party!
4 year old: Ok, let’s go to sleep now.
