Kids Say the FUNNIEST Things!

       While driving my kids home from school, I decided to ask my oldest, Charity, if she was in trouble in school today. She replied, "No, Mommy! I was good!" I asked her again if she had a paper for me to sign. She kind of changed her tune to, "I'm sorry, Mommy...please, don't take my bear when we get home." I laughed a little and took the paper she handed me which firmly stated she lost 2 minutes from her recess for 1. shouting out in class and 2. not remaining in her seat...I kept my eyes on the road as I asked her, "Why are you shouting out in class? Are you the teacher?" Charity quickly responded with, "I don't know what's wrong with me, Mommy!" She sighed really big and sounded sad...I told her that nothing was wrong with her but it was unacceptable to be hollering, shouting or even talking in class to which she quickly replied, "I can't help it, Mommy! The shouting won't stay in my mouth! It comes right out, and I can't stop it! I don't think I drank enough water today!" It took all I could to not burst into hysterical laughter! I had a comedian in the back seat of my car! Needless to say, Charity lost her bear for the day as is the rule when she talks in class. Before she went to bed tonight, she gave me a big hug and kiss and said, "Mommy, I have to be good tomorrow! I have to get my bear back!"
