from the mouths of babes

dallin has been saying some pretty funny stuff lately. he has a keen mind. no doubt about that.
so here is a little installment of a few of the things that have made us laugh.

while driving in the car on the way home from utah, i was on duty entertaining the kids and taking care of their needs. after many hours, i was pretty tired of constantly turning around. so i told the kids i need a little privacy and faced forward. after a few seconds, dallin chuckled and said, “mom, i can see your privacy.”

daddy was leaving to work one morning and dallin was standing at the garage door waving goodbye. as jeff was pulling out of the driveway, dallin yelled out, “dad, why do you have to go to work?”
jeff replied, “so you can eat!”
with a contented smile, dallin said, “you’re cute, dad!”

we were reading in the book of mormon about jesus being baptized as an example for us. we talked about jesus going under the water and after the baptism the holy ghost descended as a dove. as you might imagine, this was a difficult concept to explain. i thought he understood pretty well. later, dallin was telling jeff about what we had discussed. when he got to the part about the holy ghost, i reminded him that it was a dove. he turned to jeff and said, “yeah dad, some guy shot it and it fell out of the sky.”

and when dallin is really mad at his little sister, he says angrily, “ella, you’re a genious!”

funny words from a boy who knows more than we think he does.
