Kid anecdotes

The girls were selecting clothes to wear for the day. Rachel chose a pastel pink outfit, and Audrey picked a shirt and shorts that were bright pink.

Mom: Both of you are wearing pink today. Audrey, you have on hot pink.

Audrey: Uh-huh! And Rachel has cold pink!

*****

Rachel was watching the television show “CHiPs” with me while we were folding laundry. While Ponch and Jon were in a high-speed pursuit of a purse thief, she got particularly excited.

Rachel: That guy is going to get damaged! He is so damaged! Mommy, what does “damaged” mean?

Mom: Damaged can mean hurt. Is that what you mean?

Rachel: Yes, the bad guy is gonna get damaged!

Then the crook tumbles off his motorcycle on the beach, and is nabbed by the police.

Mom: Rachel, did you mean “busted”?

Rachel: Yes! That guy is so busted!
