Stuff My Kids Say (Australia)

Capturing wise words from my two minions

Funstation is educational

Minion1 “Funstation is educational, you can learn about friction.”

Minion1 has learned how to debate logically and persuasively much to my pride and detriment. His approach to arguments has matured and now understand that with a well thought justification I can be swayed. The friction statement was further supported by how to avoid it on slides and the effect of gravity on the speed of descent.
I had put forth an idea to visit the museum, a place to learn and gain knowledge. His argument was Funstation could teach through experience. Well played minion1, well played.

Awesome people

Minion2 “Awesome people do awesome things, and that is why I am awesome!”

Rather hard to argue with this one, though I am curious as to what awesome things that she has done.

Always been good

Minion2 “…you have always been good

I was talking to the minions about life and how’s things were going for them. The conversation moved around a bit as I asked them questions and received their replies. After a bit I asked “if I have become a better dad than I was before. Before refers to when I was married and living with them.
Minion2 responded “No…”
At those words my heart fell and sadness started in me. After a
Moment she continued “you have always been a good Dad.”
What began as sadness changed to happiness and pride in minions. So much love in them and I get to share some of it.

God theory

Minion1 “God theory has its disadvantages”

The minions, BB and I were out having dinner and minion 1 decided to share his thoughts on God. He began as follows: “Hey, Dad, the God theory has its disadvantages.”
“Do tell. This should be interesting,” I thought to myself.
“You know, who invented God if God is God?” he continued.
BB and I listened on with interest but he got caught up in the chicken or the egg. Or in his case, God or God?

Funny off

Minion1 “Well, let’s have a funny-off!”

I was sitting down to lunch with the Minions and BB and discussing the SMKS blog. Part of the discussion was around a post a friend of a friend put up, saying that their kids were way funnier. Minion1 got (jokingly) indignant and began spouting off that he is much funnier than other kids and making noises to that effect. He finished with, “Well, let’s have a funny-off!”

Interestingly enough I post my kids’ sayings on SMKS not only because they are funny but because they also reveal truths that we miss as adults. Of course it is true: my minions are way more talented, funny and amazing than everyone else’s kids. ;)
