"The things kids say"

All the kids are in bed and Kyla comes to the top of the stairs.
Kyla: I had a bad dream and I'm scared.
Me: I'm sorry, what did you dream about?
Kyla: That I was a pinata and people were hitting me.

Ron and Kyla at the lunch table:
Kyla: Daddy, I need a hiding spot!
Ron: You do? Who are you hiding from?
Kyla: You dad!

Ron and Makenna looking in the mirror:
Ron: Daddy is getting old. I'm loosing my hair on the sides.
Makenna: Well, if you'd stop cutting it right there!

Me: Today we get to go to our friends house! Her mom's name is Mary.
Makenna: Hey, just like mary had a little lamb! I think she is the Mary that had a little lamb!

-Me: Kyla what are you going to ask Santa for?
Kyla: I'm gonna ask him to tie my shoes!

-We went out to dinner the other night. Kyla: mom, can I have some ice cream?
Me: I don't have any ice cream.
Kyla: Yes they do, we're at a restaurant ya know!

-Me: Makenna, what was your favorite part about your first day of kindergarden?
Makenna: naptime, I slept the whole time 'cause I was sooo tired!

-Kyla: Look! That's a dog! I want a puppy! No, I want a cow. Can I have a cow? Yeah, I want a cow.

-Kyla: Where's daddy?
Me: He's at work.
Kyla: I don't think so he's at work, he's playing hide and seek!

-Ron: Makenna, if you could ask Thomas S. Monson (the president of our church) anything you wanted what would you ask?
Makenna: I'd tell him jokes

-Driving on the freeway, a little rock hits the windshield. Me: what was that?
Kyla: maybe someone's throwing rocks at us!
Makenna: I think it was heavenly father snapping his fingers!

-In the store shopping for facewash. Makenna: why do you need face wash.
Me: It keeps my face clean so I don't get any zits.
Kyla: But I don't have any zips!

-Talking about the dangers of the water. Makenna: If I get tired, I just flip onto my back. But what if there's an undertoad? (under toe)

-We were playing Jenga and the tower was getting pretty tall.
Makenna: What if this tower got so tall it reached up to heaven?
Me: Maybe Heavenly Father would take a turn playing with us!
Makenna: No, maybe he would change all of our languages!
(tower of Babel)

-Makenna: Hey, who tooted?
Kyla: Santa, I think it was Santa.

-Makenna: This music sounds like a ghost!
Kyla: Oooo it's the holy ghost!

- The other day Makenna got hurt and was bleeding. Dialogue between Makenna and Ron: So what do we do when we start to bleed?
Makenna: put our blood pressure on it.

-Me: Kyla, come dance with us!
Kyla: No, I just want to pick my nose.
