3 Year Olds Say The Darndest Things

JJ has given me reason to blush a few times lately. He is very observant and likes to ask questions or give his honest opinion about things. Here are a few examples:

JJ recently visited our friend the dentist to have his teeth cleaned for the 1st time. When I took him back to the office for my appointment, he promptly informed the entire staff that "It stinks in here! And the toothpaste tastes YUCKY!" They all thought he was pretty cute!

A close relative (who will remain nameless) was visiting at our house. After we had finished dinner, JJ began to stare at our loved one's mid-section. Then he said "I can see your tummy. It's FULL!" Oh boy - at least he was PC and no offense was taken!

While waiting in the checkout line, JJ was snacking on rainbow colored Goldfish crackers and "checking out" the hairstyle of the man a few people in front of us. He was a black man with long dreadlocks. JJ asked me "Is he a girl-man?" To which I replied
"Are there any green goldfish in your bag?" Yes, there were some green ones!

Never a dull moment with my little guy!

Girl-man... cracking me up. I love your redirection. Ellie did the same thing to a woman in the dr. office who had no make-up on and very short hair... "Are you a boy?"

LOL!!!!!!!
No one is funnier than an honest kiddo!
p.s. Will (when he was around 4-5) did the same thing to Greg one day at the store when they saw a dude w/ real long hair. :)

JJ is pretty smart making up new names like "girl-man!" I think I will start using that one too when I see a guy with long hair....what a cutie!
