While we were out to lunch last week a little boy sat down at the table next to us with his mom and I think his grandma. Jasper looked over and said
"Hey, that boy has TWO mommies." and then
"That's cool!!"
Firs thought was shhh, not so loud! Second thought was. We could all learn a thing or two from my three year old. He thought this boy had two mommies, and instead of judging, questioning or criticizing he said "That's cool" and he meant it. If all adults were like that? Excepting, and thinking something was awesome instead of judging things we didn't understand? Life would be so much simpler. The world would be a much better place if we saw things the way our kids did.

Stuff My Kid Says
My kid says crazy things. I'd love to hear what yours say!
This happened last week as Jasper's karate class.
Cute 5 year old girl walks in, new to class, wearing a tutu and tennis shoes. Adorable.
Jasper says loudly: Mamma, that little girl (she was about 4 inches taller than him) is preeeeetty.
Mother of the little girl: Aw that's sweet, say thank you.
Jasper thinking the mom was thanking him replies
No, not you. The little girl is pretty. Not the mamma.
Me? Horrified. Uhm..Jasper, that's not very nice to say.
The other mom? Laughing hysterically. ' Oh its okay, no filter at this age'
I can't even be mad at him, he was just being honest. He was clarifying to the mom that he was calling her daughter pretty, and not her.
