We love kids here at Easyread. We love working with them, hearing from them, and watching them take-off and start flying with their reading. We also love a good giggle over some great kids’ quotes…Here are a few we’ve collected from different places!
1. “Mom, my brain just wants to say baaaaad words!”
2. My husband was taking a nap while my kids were playing and suddenly my 9-year-old whispered to me, “You need a new husband ’cause this one is always sleeping!”
3. My son was sitting on my lap and pointed to my chin and said, “1, 2, 3, 4.” I said, “What are you doing?” He said, “Oh, just counting your chins. You have four.”
4. My 7-year-old excitedly shared a plan to come up with money for a trip to Disney: “You and Dad can work harder and get more money!”
5. I tell my 2-year-old that his ears must be tired because they’re not listening, and he responds, “Umm no, they’re not tired. I think their batteries died.”
6. I’m currently 7-months pregnant. I have a 9-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl. When I found out I was having a boy, I told my daughter, and she said, “Why does God keep giving me brothers?”
7. At the age of 3, when being coaxed to give her great aunt a kiss, Maggie said, “YOU kiss her!”
8. My 8 yr old: Mommy, tell us a story about when you were little. Me: When I was a little girl, there was NO internet. (pause, both kids very wide-eyed) 4yr old: Were there flowers?!
9. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was and I told him, “62.” He was quiet for a moment, then he asked, “Did you start at 1?”
10. Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?” “Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.” The child thought about this for a moment, then said, “So why is the groom wearing black?”
