Funny, Food-related Family Kid Stories

In going through papers at my Mother's house recently, I found this collection of kid stories I'd sent to her in an email. It features my grandchildren and Jan's grandchildren who were the age for that kind of cute kid talk at the time. All the other family kids were just as cute and full of such communication, but these few just happened to be the right age to get quoted when this email was sent. 

Brianne (just turned 2) Her parents often turned the TV to a ballgame or cooking show when it was time for B to settle down for bedime (to avoice stimulating her and to calm her down.) 

One night, as they watched "Emeril Live", Lyn said, "Well, Brianne, we need to get you to bed." 

Brianne replied, "But I want to watch the man cook!"

*****

Brianne (age 2 1/2) The family was "driving through" a fast food restaurant when 

Brianne (who was very experienced in the protocol for this activity) politely requested, "Mom, det me a sketti combo." Of course, since no such item was on the menu, she got her "sketti combo) from a can when they got home!

Brianne (age3) was eating pasta at a restaurant. She commented, "Mom, this is messy.I should have just ordered a milk shake."

*****

Brianne (age 3 1/2) was spending the day with her grandmother. Linda had taken a cake out of the freezer to let it thaw. Brianne wanted a pice, so Linda cut her a mall piece. Later at lunch, Brianne told Linda she only wanted another piece of cake - not the food Linda prepared for her. Linda told her that she had to eat some food that was good for her and couldn't just eat junk.  

Brianne replied, "Nanny, that not junk! That CAKE!"

*****

Brianne (age 3 1/2) found a small packet of cinnamon candies as they were getting ready to go to church. and she wanted to eat some. 

"Mommy," she said,"do you think I will get some candy at church, or should I just go ahead and eat some of these?"

*****

Natalie (age 2) was with the family going out to eat. They had to stop by the back first. 

When her dad rolled the window down at the bank drive through, Natalie leaned forward and called out loudly, "Sausage, Biscuit, and Diet Coke!" then turning to her older sister, she continued, "What you want, BeeAnn (Brianne)?" (BTW, Natalie doesn't drink Diet Coke.)

Natalie (age 2 1/2) was eating eggs, not paying attention, and turned her spoon bowl-side up. 

She looked down and said, "What is this? My spoon is upside backards!"

AnnaGrace (age 2) was talking listening to her Daddy talk on the phone to her Granddaddy and wanted to talk to him. Her GDaddy asked her what he was doing. 

Her response was, "Helping Daddy eat his plate." 

Her dad had come home late from work and was eating the "plate" his wife had saved for him.

AnnaGrace (age 2 1/2) loved cantaloupe and held her plate up to ask for "more Santaclope."

Dow (age 5) was horrified when he heard his aunt and uncle talk about having "pasta" for dinner. 

He asked incredulously, "You eat POSSUM?!"

*****

Gibby (age 2 1/2) was in the grocery story with her mother and two OLDER siblings. As they headed into the meat department, Hannah and Johnnie, her siblings, who were walking, ran toward the lobster tank. Her mother saw the older children heading away and called,"Where to do think you're going?" Gibbie, sitting in the shopping cart, piped up, "I let them go see the crabs!"

*****

Gibbie (age 3 1/2) was in the kitchen and asked for a peanut butter sandwich. Her mother asked her to wait a minute while she finished up another chore.  Apparently mom took too long, so Gibbie took matters into her own hands and got out the peanut butter, bread, and jelly and put them on the counter ready for her mother to come make the sandwich. 

"Gibbie," said her mother, "This is crunchy peanut butter; it has nuts in it.  Put it back and get the other one. You like the creamy peanut butter."  

Gibbie replied, "No, Hannah and Johnnie like creamy. I like this!"

Her mother, Charmaine, said, "No, Daddy is the one who likes nuts in it."

Gibbie said, "Daddy like crunchy AND I like crunchy. Hannah like creamy AND Johnnie likes creamy. Hey. I'm beginning to see a pattern here!"

*****

Gibbie (age 4 1/2) started asking her mother about heaven. She was very concerned about whether or not there'd be candy in heaven. Her mother assured her that there would be plenty of candy in heaven (I does say that in the Bible, doesn't it?) Gibbie wanted to know when she would go to heaven. Her mother told her that she doesn't know but that most people don't go to heaven until they are much older.

Gibbie replied, with a sigh, "Oh, okay. Well, I'm still pretty new!"
