Where's Bill Cosby?

kids say the darndest things

Story #1: Todd's mom is visiting and she wanted to take Toria to the jewelry store for a necklace. They carefully picked out the necklace and stood in line waiting to pay. Toria tightly clutched the money in her fist and waited for the cashier to help her. and waited. and waited. and waited. Finally, Todd's mom said to the cashier (who cleaned the counter, talked on the phone, and did everything she could to ignore the cute 4-year-old) "you don't deserve our business". And so they left.

You can just imagine how sad the little girl in pink looked. very very sad with the tears flooding the eyes. Alas, with the promise of going someplace better the next day for jewelry she cheered right up.

At supper tonight we were talking about the things each of the kids hope to learn on their first day of school (tomorrow). Tomas responded with the classic boy answer "dunna" (don't know) while Toria chirped "I'm going to ask my teacher if she knows any good jewelry stores".

I don't think Toria's teacher will know what hit her when Toria starts kindergarten.

Story #2:

We spent 2 hours yesterday buying Tomas his hockey gear. As he put on the shoulder pads we gave him a light pat on the shoulder. When he put on the knee pads we each gave him a little tap on the knees. (Oh yes. It's true.... Do you see where this is going?)

When he put on the athletic support (these are shorts with a built in protector not the 'old-fashioned' kind) he beckoned "Toria, do you want to punch me in the penis?"...
and before Todd or I could form a "NOOO" ... the little Toria voice responded with an "oh SURE" and her arm shot out with a THWAP!

I am happy to say that either Toria needs more time on the punching bag or the athletic supports do work because Tomas said that after testing all of his gear it "works great". T.G.
