The Not So Daily Penguin

Saturday, November 10, 2007 - Things Kids Say...

I just had a conversation with my Mother-in-Law. My niece turned six in October and I wasn't able to go to see her but I've been updated about her birthday celebrations including the all important presents.

Little Miss S. may only have turned six but she's going on sixteen. She had requested those Aqua Dots for her birthday and that's one of the gifts she received from my MIL. However, as you may have heard, these have been recalled.

See:

So, my MIL emailed her daughter, Little Miss S's mother to notify of the recall, just in case she didn't know herself. My SIL told her daughter that she couldn't play with the Aqua Dots and explained why. Little Miss S's response was this. "We (her and her brother) are six and seven. We don't eat our toys!"

That response is an absolute gem and so very S. She's very mature for her age and can grasp concepts far beyond her years. She's also fearless and has already broken toes in both her feet.

I just know she's going to be more of a handful when she hits her teenage years.

I will see her soon at Thanksgiving. No doubt, I'll hear more gems during the visit.
