snapshot of a statement

**on Tuesdays**

Have you ever stopped and thought about some of things you say on any given day? Have you ever sat quietly and really listened to your kids’ conversations in the car? Have you ever thought of taking a snapshot of a statement?

I have a Snapshot Journal for each of my boys. I write down all the funny/serious/darndest things they say…and, boy, do I have a good list going…

I thought it would be fun to provide a place for us to share our Snapshots with each other. 

You can write a post on your own blog and link it back to Managing Marbles on Tuesdays
or simply
Leave your snapshot in the comments section of my post.

Here are just a few examples from my day-to-day…

“Get your hands out of your pants and go get a spoon.” – Me (age 34)

"Mom, you should eat some of this spaghetti sauce; it is SOOOOOOO good.  It is so good. It tastes just like vinegar." – Archer (age5)

“If you watch too much TV, your brain will turn to oatmeal…Yes hah… Rachael, my babysitter, told me so.”  - Archer (age 5)

  1. A couple Mother's Days ago...
    I was putting away some laundry when my 8 year old mentioned he still had a full hamper. I asked him, "It's Mother's Day, aren't you going to do your own laundry today?" He answered, "I don't know how to turn on the washing machine...I'm not even sure DAD knows."

    That's one of my favorites. :)

  2. My two favorite quotes from my own flesh and blood, and from the sweet little gems in my classroom:

    It's the Kindergarten Pre-School screening interview: Interview Lady: Olivia, If I said "sugar is sweet..., then lemons are...???"
    Olivia's answer: "For my mom's drinks."

    Second Grade Morning Meeting: "Mrs. Priester, you look pretty today. Your skin is so white and shiny."

  3. Our boys are all grown up with their own families now, but we'll never forget overhearing a bedtime coversation between them as they lay in their bunkbeds.

    Danny (age 4): Ya' know... Jesus is right here in the room with us.

    David (age 3): Yeah...

    Danny: You can't see him though.

    David: No, but you can smell his breath.

  4. This is so funny! After my husband and I had our daughter, who is now almost 2, we decided that we should write a book that was all of the funny comments heard throughout our house! This is a great idea!

  5. Just a few days after having Reese (now 6 months)...my Mom (Nana) was down helping us get situated with 2. She was changing Reese's diaper at the foot of my bed while her big brother Shea (then 2 1/2) watched intently... Then randomly...

    Shea : "Hey...that baby has no nuts!"

    Me: "What did he say?"
    Nana: "Yes, he said that..."
    Me: "Well...yeah, you're right but...?"

    Meanwhile...we have NEVER referred to his parts or anyone's for that matter, as "nuts"....ever.

    Where do they come up with these things??

  6. My son Jackson (age 4) was at my mom's today and wanted to go on the slip n slide in the backyard. She didn't have a bathing suit for him, so she let him play in his underpants. After a while of splashing around on the slide, he told my mom: "Grandma, I'm lonely. Can you come on the slide with me in your underpants?"
