Today's word is not just
ONE WORD.
Today's words are a take
on how kids perceive things.
My oldest son was pretty literal
when he was little.
Sorry-the albums are in the basement
but here is what he looks like today.
He is SOOO going to hate this....shhhhh....
He'll never even know it's here!
He has been minus the mustache for a while now...
like I said---shhhhhh
When he was four he was watching
the news with my brother, Charlie.
He came running into the kitchen
yelling for me to
"Come watch this, Mom.
You won't BELIEVE this".
THREE GORILLAS ARE
CHANGING THE TIRES
ON A BIG AIRPLANE.
ON A BIG AIRPLANE.
WHAT?
What?
What........
I go into the living room and my dear brother
is chuckling to himself.
"What is he talking about?" I ask dumbly
Just what he said, Di!
THREE GUERRILLAS
HIGH-JACKED A JUMBO JET!
This was back in the late 70's
when planes were being hijacked..
long before all the precautions were
in place that we have today.
S0-anyway-
That is what the kid heard.
GUERRILLAS= GORILLAS
HIJACK= JACKING UP
The simple reason is
to change the tires on a big plane!
Right?
Don't you wonder just what else
kids
DON'T REALLY GET
that we never know about?
Next time I might just tell you about
MyHero and his Uncle LEAD.
You are gonna LOVE that one!
Happy JULY FIRST!
Have a great Wednesday.
I am counting down to the
Fourth of July here!!!!

That is sooooo cute. So is your son. Quite handsome, in fact. No surprise, look how gorgeous his Momma is!
Hugs.
Ha ha so cute! Yes it would be interesting to know what else the little ones misunderstand that we don't realize!
Ahhhh...the protective veil that childhood provides.
oh thats a good one!
LOL loved this one! :)
LOL loved this one! :)
Diana, That is too cute. I loved it. Happy July 1st to you also. It's my daughter and her husband's 20th anniversary...wow. Time is fly by. Hope you weekend is a fun family one. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
Just like my daughter.... funny story. We were driving with all the family and passed a cemetary. Pretty flowers surrounding a gravesite under a tent. My daughter says to everyone.... look they just planted someone! Ohmagah!!!! I still think of that everytime I pass a cemetary with a tent.
Kids are funny, aren't they? Too cute!
That is hysterical and just too cute!
Counting the days till the 4th too! Have a happy one!
Hugs,
Nancy
Too cute! Kids are just precious, aren't they? :) Happy 4th of July, sweet Diana!
My son-n-law is a Pharmacist, when my granddaughter was young she asked him " what farm did he work at"!
LOL happy July 1st!
I love that story! My favorite thing about little boys is how literal they are, their logic, and lack of fear - exhibited by the first very "male" line - "But mommy, you didn't tell me I couldn't" (insert your own line here) put the cat in the dryer, throw firecrackers at the dog, crawl underneath the deck and find the crawl space under the house....
O, I just loooove little boys....:)
Kids are so funny....What a cute little story. Love it.

That's great..It's amazing how their minds work!! Enjoy your day
So true!!! What do kids really understand???
One of our grandsons was having an awful time, learning to swim... Even being in the pool.
One day he said to his grandfather; "I don't know how I;m going to learn to breathe, under water." 'Pop' set him straight. He didn't have to breathe under water. Just hold his breath, for bits of time. :-)
Poor little kid! Never forgot that...

Happy hump day Diana, loved this but it made me choke on my coffee laughing.
xoxo
You definitely gotta watch what you say around kids. That is hilarious and very clever, even though he took it literally. You probably have a big collection of kids' sayings. Happy July to you!
On the word hijack, every time I see our sweet Jack, I say Hi, Jack and that bad word comes to mind. :-(
LOL, too cute! I have a book for each of my girls of all the cute little things they have said. It's also why I always loved teaching young children, each day a new adventure! :-) Thank you so much for the get well wishes, I haven't been this sick in a long time! Have a great day!
Blessings,
Jill
Haha! Amazing how those gorillas can change tires! I can't even do that!
Too cute Diana. Out of the mouths of babes! Happy 4th to you and your gang. Have a great week end.

Diana, kids say the darndest things! Art Linkletter was right! How cute and your son is pretty cute too even now..Happy 4th to you and yours..Judy
Cute! I remember my nephew and me taking a car ride one day. (he is going to be 40...so you know how long ago that was!!!). And he opened the car door while I was driving. I looked back and he had tears in his eyes and he said, Aunt Teresa I am not crying, I am washing my eyes!
I still feel bad that he didn't think that it was ok to cry.
So funny! It really does make you wonder what else they're hearing and how they're processing it. Lol!
Ha Ha Ha....oh my...we have a few of those ourselves. Myk in 2 1/2 ~ we are having a deacons meeting in the living room. Diaper only he walks into the living room with one of my tampons in his mouth with the string hang down, and says to the deacons..."I smokin" I died a thousand deaths..but the men thought it was hilarious. Go figure.
So funny! The take everything literally as it sounds, don't they!

That's just too funny! My kiddos say the funniest things too. Never a dull moment... Have a Happy 4th! Hugs, Amy

I love the beauty of little children. One minute I am the worse Grandma in the world and then I am the Best Grandma in the world. Some days I really worry about what the world is teaching these sweet spirits. Teaching my grands in my home is the best combatant that I can do for them. Hopefully they will make good choices. So glad you little son thought it was the cute little gorillas. lol Have a lovely day sweetie. Jo
What an adorable, adorable story!....
I remember jokingly calling my husband a "big ape" once and my son said, "Mommy, daddy is a man." LOL
Oh, I love this! It is so funny!!
Blessings,
Gert
Good memories!!!!!!!!!!! Happy 4th of July this weekend.
Oh that is so funny! I have to say that reminds me of something my husband and I recently talked about. He said he remembered when he was a little boy that when they said on the news "geurilla warfare" that meant people were fighting gorillas! Ha Ha! We were kids in the 70's too. So, I can completely understand your son saying that.
those would have been some smart gorillas
Haha this was a cute one! I'm sure you have so many funny stories to tell about the kids & grandkids. Have a wonderful 4th of July!
Adorable! When I taught kindergarten, I heard the best stuff all day long. It was hard not to laugh! What a nice memory of your brother, too.
That's a good one, Diana. It's really something that you kept all these funny little words that were said by your kids and grandkids. My son would say the funniest things when he was little, and I had to write down some of them (not sure if I mentioned that to you or not), but every time I went back to read them, I was laughing once again.
It's July!
love, ~Sheri
Ya gotta love the minds of the young. I love that story!
That is hysterical! Oh the stories I could tell too.... we should really write stuff down.. Im afraid I'm going to forget it all! lol!
have a great weekend!

Too funny! Every once in a while I'll hear one of my, fast approaching middle age, daughters tell a story from their childhood completely wrong. It's what they thought was happening as a kid, not what actually happened. I'd better check and see if either of them thinks guerillas change plane tires.
What a funny post! Being in grade school at the time, I know I thought the same thing when I heard stories about the guerrillas. I kept wondering why we were going to war with the gorillas! lol
Blessings ~ Lisa
A very good looking son. You must be so proud of him. Out of the mouths of kids ...... never know what they are going to say.
Hugs,
Mary
