Jaden: Hey Grandma! We went to El Chico the other day and I had to go to the potty to, you know. So when I sat down and closed the door I saw this writing. I had to turn my head a little to read it and it said, "You are now pooping at a 40 degree angle" !!
Grandma: (laughing so hard she's falling out of the chair)
Kidspeak
J: Grant, I hope you didn't steal those, 'cause if you did you could get thrown in judy.

As I'm walking out after tucking our insomniac into bed for the 3rd time...
Jaden: Mom, can I have another hug?
Me: Do you promise you'll stay in your bed and not get up again for any reason?
Jaden: Yes...I promise. But what if I'm bleeding profusely?
Kidspeak
Me: Ow! This sunburn really hurts!
Jaden: Mom, I'm beginning to really wish you had used sunblock.
Me (hearing his irritation): Yeah, I guess I'll stop complaining now and just remember the sunblock next time.
Jaden: I'd like that.
