I found an old paper in my desk drawer with a list of stuff my daughter had said when she was six or seven. I had meant to post it on my blog, but I’ve waited until she turned ten to do so. She wouldn’t say these things now, but it is fun to look back on the truths she was discovering and the ways she tried to make sense of the world.
“You can’t taste your own spit.”
“You’re lucky if you’re born without a middle finger, because, you know, it’s America’s swear finger.”
“The B-word is ‘beep, beep.’ All buses say the B-word.”
Have a great day!

That is just adorable! (and wise, of course!)
My oldest son, when he was 3, told me that he didn’t think his great-uncle – a woodsman who has lost a finger and a toe to various chainsaw/equipment accidents – could count to 20 anymore.
I try to write it all down, too.
That’s hilarious! So funny. I’m glad I wrote these down because I had totally forgotten!
That was so cute! Wish I couldn’t taste my spit now that I’m older! LOL
Ha! 🙂
Your kid is pretty wise. 😀
🙂 Thanks!
She is a cutie!
Yep! Thanks.
Emily, very cute. The pearls of wisdom. You must admit, no middle finger = no birds. Are they mortified you found these? BTG
Nah. She thought they were funny and she remembered that the stuff about the B word came from what everybody was saying in first grade about it.
My boys confused the word sexy with sassy. So they would giggle when they used sassy.
Ha! That is adorable. My husband still blushes if anybody says “sexy.”
Ahahah, this is so cute!
Fun memories!
Lol!! Adorable and very wise!
Thanks!
