Kids Say the Darndest Things (but so do adults)


Funny things people actually said to me today (sources anonymous):
  1. Did you happen to find me ping pong balls?
  2. My husband gave me tea. I have no idea what kind it was, but I was on the toilet all night.
  3. This lady's house is so dirty. I have to touch things in the kitchen with a paper towel. And it doesn't help that she's a step away from dementia.
  4. She's interesting and pretty enough to attract your attention at the beginning, but after you get to know her character a little, you lose interest pretty quick.
  5. Did you fry up the cornflakes in some butter?
  6. It smells like a vanilla candle in here. I hate the smell of vanilla candles!
  7. One time, my mom fed us 5-day-old noodles with cinnamon on them.
  8. He's pretty good-looking, for an indian.
  9. You left the plunger in the toilet!
  10. Her hair was so frizzy it was like the split ends were taking over!
Do you ever think about the crazy things that come out of our mouths over the course of a day? I talked to 10 different people today and they all had something very unique to say. (It all made sense in context, of course.)

I have to tell you about #9. It's so worth it. (I'm laughing as I type.) Okay, so today I cleaned both bathrooms thoroughly (scoured the sinks and toilets, scrubbed the floors on my hands and knees, etc., etc.). Tonight, AFTER the pre-teens left my apartment, my neighbor (and teammate), Brielle, informs me that I left the plunger in the toilet (actually the toilet bowl brush). The funny thing about this is that 4 or 5 kids used the toilet over the course of the evening and when I went in there at the end of the night, the toilet brush was still in there soaking! What did the kids do??????? Ignore it? I'm afraid to speculate. Lol Kids are hilarious. You'd think the first one to use the bathroom would've told me!

I guess they strategically returned it to its location and figured it was some sort of strange American thing you do. :)

Sounds like some interesting conversations that day...

Kristi! SO funny. Oh my goodness. That is crazy. All of the things you heard were interesting. I feel kind of bad for the person whose mother fed them 5 day old noodles with cinnamon! Not too bad though, because maybe I will give that to Kaish for lunch : )
