A SweetCheeks Zinger

SweetCheeks has this
way of giving you the 
perfect little zinger
without really meaning to.
That is why this is the
perfect card for her.
It says ZING.
Here's her latest little zinger.
She looks across at Papa
who is sitting on the sofa-
remote in hand.

Papa, she says ever so sweetly.
Papa, she repeats-because he
doesn't answer
Papa: Yes, SweetCheeks?
SC:  Papa~How ohld ARE yohu?
Papa:  I'm 62.
SC: (digests that for a minute)
Soooooo.....yohu are OLHD AND FAT?

I start laughing hysterically because 
I am usually on the receiving end of her
zingers.
Papa:  That's not nice, SweetCheeks!
SC:  Sorry, Papa.
SC: (looking towards me-stage whispers)
That's true though, isn't it, Nana?
(snort-snort)

Any problems with being egotistical?
I can send her over to fix you!
She works cheap-
you can pay her in glitter and glue.

She sure is sassy. I love her!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

LOL! She is too much, Diana!

Jettie said...

Gotta love her, she never lies even to make people feel better. Thanks, but I have one that works really cheap, and has come up with a few, herself.

Kim @ Savvy Southern Style said...

Too funny. And our hubs are the same age.

Ron said...

Kids say the darndest things, don't they? Did hubs get off the couch and go for a walk? xo

Gert said...

Oh, how funny! She is adorable! Right now her Papa might not think so...but she really is😅 (laughing till I cried!)

Blessings,

Kids are fun, aren't they? I remember when Andrew was little and we were standing in the checkout line and a really REALLY fat man was in line behind us. Andrew asked him, "Hey, Mister. Where do you buy your underwear?" The man looked at him funny but gave an answer - naming a store that Andrew had never heard of and Andrew replied. "I thought you'd have to go to a special store to get some that big because they don't sell giant ones here." I about died of embarrassment, but the kid was just curious. He really didn't mean anything negative by it. He was my sensitive child and would never intentionally say anything hurtful, but he was also very honest - and the truth sometimes stings a little.

Donna@anangloinquébec said...

Oh boy, I think we all have little zingers in our lives. Love it!

Cranberry Morning said...

HAHA. What a kid! Love it. And isn't she a cutie! So Papa, put that in your pipe and smoke it. lol

Beth said...

Thank you Sweet Cheeks for giving my first laugh of the day. Honesty is the best policy Papa. :-)

Debby said...

Oh that girl... what ARE you going to do with her?... love her to pieces of course!... xoxo Julie Marie

Sweet Posy Dreams said...

Maybe with her honesty she could motivate me to lose some weight. I need some kind of kick in the pants.

Unknown said...

Out of the mouths of babes! lol. She's a thousand laughs, Diana. I think you should have a sweet cheeks homemade valentine giveaway! Put that creative mind to work!
xoxo.

Debbie said...

Who does she take after?????
I forgot.
xxoo

Little Miss Maggie said...

She definitely would fix an ego problem for sure. I'd work for glitter and glue too. Makes life more fun.

Lucille said...

Too cute. She is so amusing! Tell your husband that he's young. How I wish I were still only 62. Believe me, it makes a difference!

Karen said...

LOL, Sweet Cheeks will keep you on your toes!

Dayle ~ A Collection of Days said...

HAHAHA! I love this kid already.

Sherry @ No Minimalist Here said...

Diana, This is so cute! You'll be able to share these adorable post with her when she is older.
xx, Sherry

Amber ~ The French Pressed Home said...

OMG! I can soooo relate to this post BUT my lovely boys will say stuff like that to total strangers. I have FINALLY got through to them that it's hurtful to people when they say that. Oh, the things that come out of those mouths.... xo

Sue said...

Out of the mouths of babes...I think I'd be scared of her! She is a cutie though:)

Melissa said...

Only little kids can get by with that kind of honesty. I remember when our son was little, he asked his Great Grandmother why she was so wrinkly and if she was born that way. Our daughter asked one of my husbands co-works who suffered with adult acne why she has so many mosquito bites on her face... we looked for the nearest rock to crawl under!

Anonymous said...

LOL! That little SweetCheeks is a little hoot! :) Love it.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

Red Rose Alley said...

Oh, she's too funny....

I could really use someone over here like that. It seems that when I speak my mind, everyone gets upset. Well, I need SweetCheeks at my house telling them just the way it is.

Give her a hug and thank her for her honesty, pleeeeease!

Tina@WhatWeKeep said...

Oh, she'd be a big help around here.
When is her next opening? Book it for me. Love that girl!

This is hysterical I tell you! Glad you both have a great sense of humor. Maybe you should get her some Raspberry Zinger tea by Celestial Seasonings.

Have a great weekend and enjoy your lil'one.

I well remember these kind of little zingers when our grandsons were little. But they got older and learned to lie--I mean be tactful!

joanne said...

she blows me away every time!! Can you send her over to my MIL for a nice long talk?

Maureen Wyatt said...

Don't send her over to me if shes discussing weight! I'm covering all my mirrors and don't want any references to weight gain. lol

Sandi~A Cottage Muse said...

How did he keep a straight face?!!

GratefulPrayerThankfulHeart said...

I just love her to pieces! :)

came back to read about your brother passing 5 years ago, and found this post I had not read. Ah, Sweet Cheeks, I'm the same age as your Papa so old and fat too! This cracked me up and was a joy to read after the sorrow of reading of the passing of your brother.
