I love that age, Ana. My twins are kindergarteners and some of the things they say are too cute. I volunteered at ds's class last week. The kids all came out to me one by one so we could work on a project together. We were making a sunflower out of construction paper and talking about goals. They had to think of a goal they wanted to accomplish by the end of the year and we wrote it on the sunflower. I could've talked to those kids all day, but I only got about 5 minutes a piece.
Most of the kids went with learning to read as their goal, of course. There reasons were funny, though. One boy got so excited at the prospect of reading because then he would be able to read the subtitles on starwars, because apparently there's a lot of that. He said "so I won't have to say MOM!!!! WHAT ARE THEY SAYING!!!???" and he acted like he was yelling to another room, LOL. Another wanted to learn to color 'real good' and another wanted to count to 100, because his brother could count to 500, and apparently that's quite impressive. One boy took that opportunity to complain about his mother. "She only gave me ONE small sandwich and now I'm hungry. Next time I'll eat HER" he said "And she's always yelling at me, all she ever does is exercise" Poor kid, I'm sure it wasn't as bad as he was making it out to be, he was smiling the whole time.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to my next day in the class. It was too much fun.
To cute! I thought I'd share this tidbit from my Conner. We have talked about having another baby (Before we knew DH needed another VR) with Conner. Sometimes he is for it and sometimes not. But he would have these moments when out of the blue he'd come up to me and tell me, "Mommy, you can have a baby now." Well, the other day we were talking and he told me I could have a baby now and I said ok. So I told him when I have a baby that it will be in my tummy and he can talk to the baby and sing the baby songs. He replied with, "No, not there" and points at my stomach. I say, "so where do babies come from"? (I knew this was coming but had to ask!) He says. "From the store!" LOL! He still keeps telling me I can have a baby now. Which is sad b/c I can't just yet! But what a cute little guy!

I know what you mean- little kids are too funny.
