As you know I love to listen to the things kids say. I just love to see how they view the world and try to figure out what they are thinking and why. Every once in a while though one of my kids says something that makes me fall on the floor laughing. This was one of those:
My six-year-old Grace was talking sweetly to the baby when he began to fuss. “Aw little Bobby, are you hungry?” she asked him. “You just want to go chew on mama’s belly, yes you do.”
There ya go, nursing a baby from a child’s perspective!
I’m linked with Raising Homemakers and What I Love Wednesday.
That is too funny! I remember one time when my second was born and my oldest was 2. The first time she saw me nursing him she yelled, “Brover eats boobers!” 😛
Hahahaha! One time I was in the cry room with Judah, a friend put a blanket over her baby to nurse, and Judah thought she was playing peekaboo with the baby!
Too funny!!
My kids say that my baby “eats from mommy’s tummy”.
My 2 1/2 year old is still nursing at bedtime every night.
When she’s ready for bed she tells me, “Doe ged yo Kinnel Mom, I want my milk!”
… translation, “Go get your Kindle …”
This totally cracks me up.
That is too funny! My 5 year old niece once asked, while I was nursing my baby with a cover, “Does he eat from your belly button?”
I love it. Earlier today my 9 year old came to me and told me our dog had pucked on the couch. I asked her if she would clean it up since I was doing laundry and she looked at me and said what did I do wrong to have to do this. I burst out laughing. Later I told her she did such a good job that was one of her new chores, I was joking with her of course, but maybe I will not tell her. You know, just in case the dog does that again.
My four year old step daughter, who we have partial tome with, was a formula baby. She has not said anything about my nursing, but imitation can be just as flattering and funny. She plays with her dolls and nurses them under her arm pit. I also had to have a C-section. One day at her school the teacher had to separate her and another girl because their tones became defensive when disagreeing how to deliver their babies. One child said push; my child said pull!!! Needless to say we had a talk about how God designed women to deliver the babies and why her little brother was born in a special way.
Oh how funny! What a perception.
