While having their evening dinner together,
a little girl looked up at her father and asked,
“Daddy, you’re the boss in our family, right?”
The father was very pleased to hear it and confidently replied, “Yes my little princess.”
The girl then continued, “That’s because mommy put you in charge, right?”
One summer evening,
a three year-old came in while his parents were setting the table for supper.
Quite surprisingly, he asked if he could help.
His mother said, “No, but I appreciate your asking.”
The child responded, “Well, I appreciate your saying no.”
My daughter hates school.
One weekend, she cried and fretted and tried every excuse not to go back on Monday.
Sunday morning on the way home from brunch, the crying and whining built to a crescendo.
At the end of my rope, I finally stopped the car and explained, “Honey, it’s a law. If you don’t go to school, they’ll put daddy in jail.”
She looked at me, thought for a moment, then asked, “How long would you have to stay?”
Computer Size
While trying to explain to our six-year-old daughter how much technology had changed, my husband pointed to our brand-new personal computer and told her that when he was in college, a computer with the same amount of power would have been the size of a house.
Wide-eyed, our daughter asked, “How big was the mouse?”
I was preparing to go cash a paycheck
when I realized my husband hadn’t signed it. So I sent our four-year-old daughter upstairs to “get Daddy’s name on the back of it.”
She came back, handed it to me, and said, “I knew his name so I did it myself.”
On the back of the check, she had printed, “D-A-D”.
