If you were in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, I can understand how the kid could get confused that way.

My son found a piece of paper on top of a pile of stuff. It was obviously an important financial document. It had his name on it. And it had an amonut of money in excess of $500. He came to the conclusion that it was a check for him and came tearing upstairs to show it to Mrs. Dallas.

I can only imagine how crestfallen he was when she explained to him that it was not a check, but a receipt for his daycare expenses.

(We're de-cluttering the house, and all kinds of old records are surfacing. "Do we need to keep the tax return from 1993?")

The other day, My 6yo daughter told me that she was crazy on the inside, but cute on the outside.

My daughter (2) has a very unhelpful set of responses when she hurts her self and we ask her where she hurts:

Over there ---> *points to floor*
or
In the kitchen.
or
At the door.

Sometimes she's stopped crying before we figure out what the problem is.

Maybe it's your decor?

My 14 yr old is big-time grounded (don't ask), but there was an all-girl party/sleepover coming up last weekend, and we were talking in the kitchen about the conditions under which she could go. I told her facetiously that despite the fact that she is grounded, it would be nice to be rid of her for a night so I could have some peace and quiet.

Two minutes later, my 11 yr old son is on the phone talking to his friend's dad asking if he can come over to their house to play. He says, "can I come over? My mom wants to get rid of me!" I was sooo embarrassed!
