Funny Things

Children are a gift from the Lord. Their innocence, faith and trust help remind us big people of how we should be. But they are also hilarious at times. What they say (if we listen) is funny, insightful, and astute. The wise man reminds us that “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (Proverbs 17:22). In light of that, here are some funny (and sometimes insightful) things my children have said in case you are in need of some “good medicine.”

  • I wish I could go to unicorn camp. And then there’d be unicorns everywhere and I could ride them.
  • Mommy, will you please leave us so I can be alone with Spiderman?
  • When I grow up, I want to be a mommy.
  • Sometimes we be mean to each other, but then we always go and fix it.
  • I don’t know if mommy dinosaurs can read.
  • I’m sick. I have a cough. I need snacks.
  • Sometimes when I feel excited about going to their house, then I feel serious.
  • The Jedi sleep naked!
  • Cars have chest plates.
  • Me: God is our heavenly father
    My son: Wait. What about a heavenly mother?
  • Me: How did such and such a person become rich?
    My son: Money, I guess
  • My son: God created marbles in Exodus 34.
    Me: You mean marvels?
  • My son: I’ve never had a goblin before.
    Me: You mean goblet?
