Kid Quotes

I have started keeping this page open on my laptop so when my kids say something worth remembering, I come to write it down verbatim.

Elias woke up grumpy and in the dark, “Turn the windows on!”

Elsie said, “Why do babies have to cry when they’re tired? I mean, just go to sleep. Just skip the crying part…”

Hattie told me on Ivar’s birthday, “Mom, you don’t have a 11-year-old in the house anymore. You have a 12-year-old in the house anymore.”

In a public bathroom Elias asked who made the bright pink squirt soap. I said, “I don’t really know.” He said, “Probly God and some ladies.”

Alden walked up out of the blue, “Mom. What if there was a store called Sozzle’s Nozzles?”

Elsie said to me, “Man, whoever invented grapes did a great job. I mean, I guess that was God. He really did a great job.”

I am a mother of six, married to a never-saw-it-comin' aspiring farmer in Southern Minnesota. As new farmers, I write about our transition from the city to the country with hopes of sharing our joy and gratitude for all that we are learning.
