Crazy Things Kids Say

Sometimes i wonder what really goes on in kids' minds when they say the things they say and ask the questions they ask. And i must admit i think i'm really gonna have a tough time dealing with these three in a row. Like i said, went home over the long weekend and it was really gr8 spending ample time with them anklesnappers(like somebody calls them)

Was busy cooking in the kitchen and Vicky was helping me out while we talked.
''Jane?''
''Mmh?''
''Who's Jnr's mother?''
''I am''
''And who's Jeddah's?''
''I am''
''Who's daughter am i?''
''I am''
''Mh-mh! Jane? you mean like you have 3 kids?''
''Yeah''
''Yeah baby'' I said, summoning her to pass me a bowl with crushed tomatoes.
''How many kids does mama have?''
''Awwwww! Bona(her pet name) you donno? I am her only child''
''How come you have three kids and mama has only one?''
''Errmmm, Ode(her other pet name) i think during her time there wasn't enuff money to buy kids you know? So i gues maybe i had enuff mani,so i bought the three of you.''
''Why did you decide to buy three of us?''
''Coz i loved three of you, pass me the wooden spoon'', she passed me the wooden spoon.
''Mmh! But you shouldn't have bought Jnr, you know i don't like that guy?''
''Why?''
''He beats me and Jeddah all the time''
''What will you be doing to him such that he ends up beating you two?''
''Nothing.''
''Nothing?''
''Mmh-hmm!''
''I don't believe you.''-at that moment i heard Jedday scream outside. I pipped my head out and shouted, ''Jeddah what is it?''
''Jnr beat me..''he said, between cries...''See, Jane i told you.''

Later that after noon, we were watching Shrek 3 and there's a part where Fiona shouts to Shrek, telling him that she's pregnant. Jeddah turned to look at me.
''Jane?''
''Yeah baby''
''What does Fiona mean by that?''
''She means she's going to have a baby for Shrek''
''Where is the baby now?''
''Ermmmm...she means that Shrek is going to be a father.''
''When?''
''Later''
''Where is she putting the baby?''
''I think the baby is at the swamp.(Coz i had previously watched the movie, so i knew the babies were only goinno be shown while at the swamp)
''Mmh?''
''Yeah''
''Okay.''
Pweeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! That was close.


When i asked Jnr what he was doing with my phone, he said he was sending P.S an sms. LOL...silly boy.
So, it occured to me that my mum is not the only person who wants me to find and man and get married. It was in the evening when we were out side at the traditional kitchen, you know tryina make fire to heat water for their bath,and Jnr started it. This guy nearly gave me a heart-attack.
''Jane, do you know that they day you get married,we are going to use this kitchen to cook, with large pots like that?''
''Ha! Jnr, what makes you think i'm going to get married?''
''Kgomotso has two kids and she got married (Kgomotso is our neighbour) You have kids too so i think you are going to get married.''
''People who get married are those who have male friends Junior, i don't.''
''But you said P.S is coming. Are you guys not getting married?''
''No''
''Why?''
''Because i don't wanna get married.'' Foolish me. How can i be telling such a small boy this rubbish, as if he understood a thing.
''So why is P.S coming over?''
''Because he wants to see you guys.''
''Thats just it?''
''Junior, go get the bucket in the house we go fetch water from the tap. You talk too much wena waitse?''
