Email of the Day: Out of the Mouths of Babes

By Dr. Laura on January 5, 2022
Email of the Day: Out of the Mouths of Babes

Children can be very literal in the way they interpret what you tell them. I wanted to share a few of my childrenโ€™s comments.

 

1. My youngest daughterโ€™s name is Erin. I often would tell my kids that I was going to the store for โ€œerrands.โ€ One afternoon, my oldest daughter asked โ€œWhy do you always go to the store for Erin and not me?โ€

 

2. When driving in the car one day, I asked my daughter, โ€œCrack the window so we can get some fresh air in.โ€ She immediately started pounding on the window, trying to crack it.

 

I guess the acorn doesnโ€™t fall far from the tree, because when I was little, my mother told me to always put on clean underwear every day. One day, she thought I looked a little โ€œfullโ€ in my midsection. Thatโ€™s when she found out I was wearing seven pairs of underwear, one on top of the other. She had forgotten to tell me to remove the pair from the previous day. And thatโ€™s how I learned to wear my โ€œbig girlโ€ panties so early in life!
