RSSGender Roles In The Eyes Of A Three Year Old
At a cookout a couple of weeks ago, #1GF!’s three year old niece was crouching in the middle of the yard…
3 Year Old: Oh noooo!
Me: What’s the matter, honey?
3 Year Old: The ants are eating the cracker!
Me: That’s ok. It’s on the ground anyway.
3 Year Old: They’re taking little pieces!
Me: Yup. They’re taking it home.
3 Year Old: Those are probably the mommy ants taking the food back to the babies.
Me: Sure, Ok.
3 Year Old: And there’s ones on the side not doing anything.
Me: Yup.
3 Year Old: Those must be the Daddy ants…

How hilarious. I really can’t wait for my son to say crazy stuff like that. Most of what he says now can only be deciphered if you’ve been around him enough.

So I just read Toni the story. She is now telling me another conversation the two of you had. Not sure if the two of you did, but she seems certain of it. So true about the mommies doing the work. Loved her comment about the daddy ants. Still laughing, can’t wait to show her daddy. :o)
What can I say? My daughter is hilarious… LOL.

Heh! Hilarious. I want to have a kid so I can be entertained by such awesome commentary.

I bought a baby’s first Christmas ornament for my 1 year old, and my 3 year old asked when the baby would "fit into the shoe". He then commenced to tell an entire story about how the ornament was made by the old lady who lived in the shoe and she sent it to us because……quite fun!
