Out of the Mouth of MY BABES

No Longer is Rudolph the MOST famous Reindeer:

My son was in 1st grade and it was the Christmas holiday season. He always loved the name Jack (not sure why). He came home from school one day with a brown paper bag turned puppet of a Reindeer. I told him it was a cute and that I loved his Rudolph puppet. That is when he replied that his reindeer was not Rudolph but he named it Jackolph. You can imagine the horror in my face when I thought of him relying this name to others. It is one of those moments when as a parent you scramble to 1-try not to laugh and 2-explain to a 6 yr old why he can't name his reindeer Jackolf.

Dentures Story:

Our neighbor across the street has dentures. She is not very fond of them so doesn't wear then when she is at home. My daughter, Chloe, spends a lot of time at her house playing with her grandchildren. My neighbor does wear her dentures to church on Sunday. Apparently, my five year old daughter didn't realize this until a couple of Sundays ago. The encounter went something like this:
Hi Grandma. You got your teeth back!
It is a good thing that my neighbor has a good sense of humor and laughed hysterically.

Hunchback Story:

This morning I was struggling with Chloe to get her dressed. She did not want me to put her shirt on her and Carter, noticing our struggle asked Chloe if she wanted him to put her shirt on her. She replied, yes, of course. As Carter is helping put the shirt over her head, it gets stuck on her head and she starts to whine. Carter told Chloe "Don't cry....You are the hunchback of baby dom! This was a pure Carter moment...he always keeps me laughing! He was 11 and Chloe was 4 at the time.

Breast Story:

Cassie was about 10 years old and I had a friend of mine who's sister-in-law had been diagnosed with breast cancer. I had mentioned to Cassie that she was going to have to get a mastectomy. She didn't really understand what that was so I was trying to explain it to her. I told her the doctors would go in to remove her breasts to gid rid of the cancer and then they could give her new one through implants. A couple of days later, This conversation took place:
Cassie: Mom, you know that friend that has to get new boobs?
Me: Yes
Cassie: Who's did she get?
