Brains, Blood and Hearing Voices

Punk #4 is in that stage where kids say the funniest things. She is 4 and a half and is really trying to figure this world out

Good luck kid

Figuring the world out….

Anyway

Yesterday I was in the bathroom doing her hair for school. The girls tell me all sorts of things in the morning while I am combing and curling and fluffing their hair, I think it is because they know they have a captive audience. As I was putting an elaborate pony tail thingy in her hair she announces that she knows why Sarah (her older sister) had blood coming out of her foot (Sarah had a toe nail that got caught on something and started bleeding the day before.) Here is our conversation:

“Mama I knowed why Sawa had blood comin‘ outta her foot.”

“Why?”

“‘Cause she’d have too much blood in her foot and it leakeded out….knowed how I knoweddat?”

“No, how?”

“Cause I berry smart, I hab a gweat big bwrain in my head….it knowed lots of stuff.”


Later that day she was throwing a major, major fit, and I trying to be a loving Christ-like mother said to her, very calmly:

“Honey, is this how Heavenly Father would like you to talk to me?”

In total exasperation, with her face red and hair flying she throws up her arms and yells

 “I not knowed what He said, He not talked to me! I not heaw His boice!”

I couldn’t stop laughing!

  1. Oh, the joy that four year olds bring! That is too cute and a perfect post title. It had me very curious very fast.
    *hugs*

  2. That made me laugh. I loved the big brain comment.

    I try to get my four year old to talk as much as possible because it always makes me laugh.

  3. Too cute! I love the big brain comment. My son likes to tell me he is a good, smart boy. I am feeling very sentimental about my kids growing up right now. I am going to miss them at this age. 🙁
