Kids Say The Darndest Things

Micah has always been our local comedian. He always has very funny and witty things to say and usually at such random times. Most of the time he doesn't even know how funny he is or that he was eve trying to be funny.
Yesterday I was driving the kids and there friends to Brigg's football game and this is the conversation I heard in the backseat between Micah and his friend.

Friend: "Did you know that someone dies like every single minute of everyday?'

Micah: "Really?"

Friend: "Ya, but that's okay because there's a baby born like every minute of every day too."

Micah: "Oh, that's why there's always that new baby smell in the air."


Love you Micah!

Hi Anna - this is the first time I've shown my self but I check in on you sometimes from Memzy's. I love this post and I'm dying to know what "new baby" smells like. Priceless !

I smelled it on my hands the other day after I went to visit Dalana's baby. I kept sniffing my hands the whole day, looking like Mary Catherine Gallager. It's potent stuff.

Mandi said...

That is completely profound..and oh so adorable!

judy said...

Too sweet! He should invent room and car fresheners called "new baby". It would be a hit!

I too smelled it on my hands after changing a poopy diaper. I quickly washed it off.

Lynt said...

I'm dying for two reasons! Obviously one reason is that Micah is so stinking cute I can hardly stand it!!! The other reason... I'm afraid one of my kids is the "friend." Nice.

Anna B said...

^^^^Yes, that was your kid, too funny!

Lucky for me we don't have that
"New Baby" smell in our house. It's the "who wet the bed smell" instead.

Memzy said...

We have the "who just farted" smell around our house.

But yeah, my favorite story of Micah is when you were having a family meeting about why you shouldn't be alone with girls and Micah said, with all honesty, "Because they might have a dagger!"

That is so sweet. I don't know what that smells like, but I know I love it!! Everyone of your kids are hilarious. I just love them. I'm glad you wrote that down, that is priceless.

I LOVE Micah and all his funny quotes. That boy is my favorite--but don't tell.

Thanks for calling last night. I can't wait til you guys get here!!

Kris said...

That is funny. I love a child's perspective.

One of my faves is when we went to the viewing of Gus' mother and Bailey looked at his great granny, resting peacefully in her coffin, and said, "Do you think someone stabbed her with a knife?" He was going thru a big Clue game phase at the time and must have eliminated the possibility of it being Colonel Mustard in the library with the candlestick!

I will just have you know I am truly offended you haven't called me back!!!!! Oh and I used you as a job reference, so be expecting a call! Be nice please. Micah makes the world a funny place. Love you, all things considered..;)

Lets just be glad there's not a smell of death in the air.

The conversations kids have with each other are the best ones. We need recording devices in our cars.

Jack and his cousin were talking and Augie said to Jack I have a girlfriend BUT she doesn't know it yet.

I love the time I was listening to Celeste, Micah and Hayden talking about getting baptized. Hayden says, "I got to choose who baptized me and I chose my dad." Celeste said, "I get to choose too and I am choosing my Dad." Micah says: "Well, I'm gonna choose my mom."

jenn said...

So funny. At least, if anything, our kids are worth some great entertainment. :)

Jessica said...

The post is great, Anna- so are all of these comments. I'm getting my much needed laugh for the night.
I mean, daggers! Where did he come up with that Jack Handey?
So who baptized Micah anyway?;)
