Today I was on the phone when my three year old son Micah grabbed my arm. "Mommy, I don't want a chicken."

I thought about his statement for a second and replied, "You don't want a chicken?"

"Nope, I don't want a chicken. Chicken goes on the farm."

"Right, yes," I stutter, "chickens go on the farm. Is that all, babe?"

"Yup."

I love the pure randomness.

That is really cute! kids say the cutest things that seem to come from no where!
Lacey K. Jan 9, 2008, 5:16pm EST
Doug, you're not kidding. Micah eats almost no meat. Ironically, about the only meat I can get him to eat is meatloaf.

Too cute. I wonder what sparked that conversation.

Kids want to be vegetarians. They love animals.

Must have been important to him at that moment, lol!

Thanks for liking my mosaic quilt :-)

Out of the blue. Kids expect you to know what they're talking about.
ChrisJerri S. Jan 9, 2008, 8:32pm EST
I'm always trying to analyze what they say.
lol how cute

HA! Kids are so funny.

Funny Lacey! My daughter used to make the claim that she was a vegetarian except for bacon.
Sarah (I want points) Jan 10, 2008, 3:55pm EST
You just have to wonder what they are thinking before they come up and say that to you :)

These stories crack me up. There are a ton of them on this Web site I visit sometimes called MassMoms.com. Click on the Those Darn Kids area. This one was hilarious: "When my daughter was about 5, she told me a story about her cousin falling off her bike. She said "Mom, she was bleeding all over the place!" I said "I think that might be an exaggeration." About a week later, my daughter came to me with a scrape on her knee - she said "Mom, I have an exaggeration!"

that bring a smile to my face.

Yep, totally random, but so like Micah!
Kimberly Ripley Jan 18, 2008, 11:42am EST
I often wished I'd had the good sense (and time!) to write down all the priceless phrases and random comments my children came out with over the years. Now at 27, 25, 23, 16 and 14 so many of them have slipped from my memory!
Tina Coruth Jan 18, 2008, 12:17pm EST
Kids are wonderful!!
J W. Jan 18, 2008, 1:20pm EST

Well guess you can cross chickens off the list for possible birthday or chritmas gifts.

Kids are so funny. Never know what is going to come out of their mouths. They always keep you guessing.
