I love kids! They say the best things! :-)
Two examples from Princess Ballerina Story Times yesterday (where all the little girls come dressed up as a princess or ballerina, have snacks, color, and I dress up in my huge pink tutu and read them stories)...
-I always try to involve the little girls in the stories by asking them questions and getting them to respond to the story. So I was asking the girls what their favorite color was. The first two girls copied each other and said blue. The next girl said pink. And then I asked this little two year old, she was quiet, so I started prompting her... "Do you like blue, or purple, or maybe pink?" She looked up at me, and goes "Lavender" Such a big word from such a small person!
-And now for an Only in San Diego moment... I was reading a book called
I Wear My Tutu Everywhere, and there are pictures of the main character in her tutu in different places. So I try to get the girls to say where the character is before I read the words on the page. "Where is she wearing her tutu?" "The grocery store" "And now where is she?" "The swimming pool" And the next page had a picture of the main character wearing her tutu next to some elephants at the zoo, so I ask, "Where is she wearing her tutu now?" And the little girl in front of me responds "The Wild Animal Park!"
Not quite as funny as the little 4 year old announcing to me that she has a boyfriend, but still good for a smile or a laugh! :-)
