Yes, it’s Thursday. I’m at Parenting.
Today: Overheard in Bean & Buddy Land
(aka Some Of The Funny Things They Have Said)
To be entirely confused with Overheard in NY/etc.
A sampling:
________________________
…And Proud Of It, Dammit!
Me: Look at the dog! Isn’t he beautiful?
Buddy: Ooh… It’s black! It’s black!
Me: Yup. It’s black.
Buddy: I’m not black. I’m brown!
Me: Um, okay… [?]
Bean: And I’m not black! I’m yellow.
– Chicago, walking behind, yes, a black dog
Overheard by: I swear I didn’t teach them any of that

That is great. My husband is half black half white and both our children have my skin coloring which is very pale. Daelyn, our daughter, informed us that daddy was brown and mommy was yellow. The thoughts of tots.
First of all, who authorized the Bean to get all Big Girl all of a sudden? Shocking growth spurt. Way to go, Bean! Second of all, these are hysterical. Too funny and so perfect. These are the times that it’s all worth while. Yesterday, at preschool, one of Booper’s classmates said, “Your mom is poop!” Booper immediately jumped to my defense: “My Mom is not Poop! My Mom is pwitty and soft.” *sniff*
hee heeee. so CUTE.
however, my favorite is still buddy’s ‘watch the teacher with your eyes’ comment. I use that to get a laugh out of myself whenever I need to chill out.
