Conversations with the kiddos

Toby, after overhearing a conversation about Sarah Palin:

Toby: What's wrong with that lady's baby?

Me: He has a condition called Downs Syndrome that makes him a little different to most people. Like Archie at school.

T: Oh yea, he's wierd. Have you seen his face?! [I brace myself for a long discussion about accepting others, how people are all different, etc, etc] He has these little brown dots on it. Is that Downs Syndrome?

Me: Um... no that's freckles. Lots of people have freckles.

T: Oh. Can I have a cookie?

Rosie after seeing a big spider in the cellar:

"That 'pider weally fweaked me out, Mommy."

****************************

I had to balance on a chair to shut the hundred year old kitchen window which is falling apart and the lock came off of it:

Me: Oh shoot!

Rosie: Oh shit!

Me: No, I didn't say shit. I said shoot.

Rosie: I know but I said shit.

Rosie at top volume after shaking hands with a customer at Costa:

"Mommy, that man is WEALLY, WEALLY black."
