Is it too early for a
Christmas Wish List?
This is too good to keep to myself.
My daughter called spur-of-the-moment
yesterday to see if I could
pick the girls up from school,
feed them and make sure they did their homework.
No problem.
It is always fun to have them here.
SweetCheeks LOVES SCHOOL!
Can you tell?
Homework is finished.
Dinner is done.
What next?
Why! We must listen to the
CHRISTMAS LIST.
Of course we must!
This is something I
HAVE TO SHARE!
Ready?
I listed these in the exact order
she listed them in.
1- A writer's kit (hmmm...paper and pencil?)
2- A math book (seriously?)
3. Tshirt with a DOG on it (as close to a pet as she'll get-Mom & Dad both have allergies)
4. A SPY KIT
5. Science goggles
6. A Taylor Swift CD with a BOOM BOX
(have you seen any boom boxes lately-do they even make them anymore..and WHERE did she see one?)
7- This might be my favorite!
Instruction book for the Hello Kitty clock
I got last year from Santa and can't figure out how it works.
And-there were two additions...
FAKE CRUTCHES
(which her sister Ria also wants-WHAT is wrong with these kids?)
and
A FAKE EYEBALL
Seriously....
What 7 year old do you know that wants a
WRITER'S KIT and a MATH BOOK?
I was laughing so hard I could hardly write this down.
and she wanted to know...
WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
I gave her the standard Nana answer...
"Nothing"....
There you have it!
Can't wait to hear what YOUR KIDS want!
ps. And just so you know- she was
DEAD SERIOUS about this list!
THAT'S what makes it so funny to me!
ps-I had sporadic internet last night
so if I didn't visit you it is not because
I forgot!

ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteI went back to read your entire post, since I thought this was a joke. No jokes, just funny requests! Not even sure where you could find some of these items. Halloween store? Aren't those closed already? Your grands are as "interesting" as you are, Diana. Hugs, Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteVery sweet photo! She sounds like a very studious girl! Nice list!
ReplyDeleteOh too funny! ! She definitely has eclectic taste!! The crutches...when my daughter was her age she wanted a broken arm so she could have a cast. :) Kids! Thanks for a Thursday smile, Jane
ReplyDeleteI think its a wonderful list, it says so much about her. She is curious, studious, has a great sense of humor and is not greedy, what a good girl.
ReplyDeleteThey are a hoot - they are so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! And no it is not too early!
ReplyDeleteOK a fake eye and crutches I can understand, she's going to put on a show.
ReplyDeleteToo cute!! Eyeball and crutches....hmmm I think she gets her wit from her nana lol!! Loved the last request!!
ReplyDeleteSeems the grand-apple didn't fall far from the eclectic grand-tree. She sure hit on a variety of areas, but really...a math book? I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Diana! The fake crutches and eyeball probably come from some kind of Halloween "fallout." Instruction books seem to be a thing of the past. Everything seems to be designed for finding instructions online. Enjoy your Thursday! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteOh my, her list is too cute! I remember when I was a kid and I thought crutches were so "cool." Enjoy your Thursday!
ReplyDeleteDiana, I loved the writing kit , math book ideas. LOL But hey what about the fake crutches and eyeballs. ..OMG. I can see that fake eye ball in the mashed potatoes now. I am beginning to agree with Northern Nesting..they are taking after you. Too funny girl. Blessings for all, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI think she's pulling your leg....lol...hugs...
ReplyDeleteThis list cracks me up! I still have my handwritten list from when I was probably four or five, and it included, "wig." I think it was because Bat Girl wore one.
ReplyDeleteOh lol, she's too much! I too love the last one...waiting an entire year, heheheeee... My 7 year old one was making a list and checking it soo many times that I never read what she wrote cause she ran away holding her secret to Santa! Oh children, they're the best!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
Priceless! You can't make this stuff up!
ReplyDeleteThat is TOO funny! She is obviously very creative AND smart. I wish my 13 yr old son wanted things that were so affordable as that. Mine says he wants a new "gaming" computer! Ugh.......those are close to $1000. So, we're going to compromise and get a new desktop that will allow him to play computer games since our current one does not. That will be much less expensive and we can all use the upgraded version.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! Boombox - wow, I'm going to have to Google that one! Your darling granddaughter looks so grown up!
ReplyDeleteOut of the mouth of babes!!! Adorable photo of Sweet Cheeks, plenty of time to rethink that wish list, hmmm dog on a tee might turn into one of those robotic dogs. Hey Diana I'm sure your favorite store Walmart has a boom box for Ya!!! Too funny, enjoy your day.
ReplyDeletexo
Cherish this time in her life. My grandkids want cars and smart phones!!!! I remember one year at age 5 that all that my daughter wanted was 'Silly Putty'; and my son wanted the moon ---- try to balance that out. Sally
ReplyDeletewhat's fake crutches..?? hahhaa...so silly.
ReplyDeleteand I just googled to see if they still make boom boxes and yes, ma'am....Walmart has CUTE ones, soooooo........
I LOVE it Diana! That's hilarious! The instruction book cracked me up!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to see what's on my little grands lists this year.
hugs from here...
Cute bow! :)
ReplyDeleteThis post also reminded me that it's time for that list again. Hmm...
Ha ha! So cute - I'm sure it will change. By the hour.. or maybe by the minute. Love that she wants a writer's kit - takes after her Nana. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteSo cute. Love Sweet Cheeks and her innocent love of life and that girl knows what she wants lol! Too sweet.
ReplyDeleteKris
Fake crutches? I'm dying! The math book and the boom box are my other personal favorites. :) XOXO
ReplyDeleteDiana,
ReplyDeleteOh yes they still make boom boxes-got one last Christmas for my hubby as a replacement, found it at Walmart. It's a Sony brand, it has AM/FM radio and it plays CD's and casette tapes! Bet your grand daughter doesn't know what they are-LOL! Have been a reader of your blog for awhile through Sweet Tea but first time commenter. God Bless you and yours and enjoy the Holidays.

ReplyDeleteMy baby pies are too little to tell me what they want.. but of course anything they see in the toy department will do the trick.

Nothing greater than spending time with the grans. I have a great grand son that adore. He is ten, but going on 20 His wish list is not for a ten year old. I am having problem today leaving comments.
ReplyDeleteLOL! She's the cutest thing, Diana. I'd like an instruction book for a few things, too. Fake crutches? For a fake injury? Maybe involving the fake eyeball? I miss having little ones around. Stay warm up there!
ReplyDeleteOh Diana, this is the cutest ever. SC is too adorable. I can't imagine how she came up with these and the boom box. Do kids even say that anymore?? LOL
ReplyDeleteFake crutches really had me going!! and reading about the instruction booklet for last year's gift. Too funny. So much fun at your house with your grands.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs and Blessings
So funny! Fake crutches cracked me up!!! I wanted crutches when I was her age. Wouldn't that be a nightmare now! She sounds like a sweetie! Have a good evening!
ReplyDeleteWe can always count on Sweet Cheeks to entertain us. I think I might have an old boom box out in the garage I can send her. Can't help out with the instructions though for the clock. LOL
ReplyDeletexo
Laura
Priceless! Wanting the instructions really cracked me up! She is adorable! I think you have a future mathematician on your hands!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is hilarious!! My favorite was the instruction booklet for the Hello Kitty clock! :) It's funny they both want crutches. My niece who's 9 also wanted (and got) fake crutches for Christmas last year. She wants to be a doctor some day, so we'll see. For her birthday, my mom went to the dollar store and put together a whole basket full of bandaids, rolls of gauze, wraps with those butterfly clips, ice packs, etc. and she LOVED it!!
ReplyDeleteA fake eyeball?! Oh my. That girl is just the funniest kid ever!! What fun she is, Diana.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this with the rest of us. lol
Have a terrific weekend.
Love ya.
Debbie

I dunno the fake eyeball is pretty funny! Don't you love their innocent minds!
ReplyDeletefake cruthches...does she want a fake broken leg too? Math book and an eyeball...that child has a great imagination. Either that or you've kept her locked up too long.
ReplyDeleteThe list is too funny!!!..my fav..the instruction booklet!!!...Grandchildren are the best...they keep us young and keep us in laughter!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so entertaining. I guess they keep you hopping. Do they mind when you laughed at them? Have you tried putting a battery in the kitty clock?
ReplyDeleteThis is just too funny...but actually not a bad wish list. SweetCheeks is just too cute!!
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
I wonder about the fake eyeball and fake crutches! And I love the idea of her asking for the Hello Kitty clock instruction book, so funny!
ReplyDeleteDiana,
ReplyDeleteNumber 7 was my favorite........instruction book for the Hello Kitty clock that she got last year!.......she's says the funniest things sometimes. :~)
love,
~Sheri
There's only one thing on MY list: inner peace :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! When my daughter was that age she wouldn't have asked for a math book, but she would now...she loves math! I'm wondering why she wants a fake eyeball...maybe to scare here Nana with??? Too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love this list. Josie's Christmas list includes a lot of science experiments...especially anything to do with rocks, spy kits and legos.
ReplyDeleteThat is what makes her such a doll! Is this just the sweetest thing ever! Happy week weekend lady! Nicole xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat is priceless, Diana! Sweetcheeks is a girl who knows just what she wants in life:) I have never heard of fake crutches before!! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteHer list was too cute!! Kids really do say or write the darnest things! :-)
ReplyDelete~Cindy
I laughed out loud at the instruction book. And I swear, my daughter added crutches to her list this morning. Must be something in the water.
ReplyDeleteIf you every figure that one out, please let us know LOL Who knows where their ideas come from. What is with the crutches? Does she have a friend that is on them? I can understand the instruction book, after she wants her clock to work.
ReplyDeleteAll to funny Diana.
Have fun this weekend.
Mary
Their minds are truly incredible aren't they? You might check Amazon or eBay for a boombox. I found a portable CD player at Walmart for my bedroom...for my nightly meditations. It's not the best but it's fine for my needs.
ReplyDeleteI really hope she gets that instruction book! :)
xo
Pat
P.S. Do they know someone that uses crutches? ha ha
if she gets an eyeball and crutch, you'll have to show us what she does with them--so funny!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I find wrong with the list is the Taylor Swift CD...that's just not right.
