Buy a blank book for your kid's funny questions and comments
I'm not one of those moms who jumps into every spontaneous scene with a camera, and makes people line up and smile. I think it's much more fun, and less annoying, to capture what my kids are saying.
Someone bought me two blank, hard cover books. The covers are canvas, for a kid to draw on. I marked one for Creed, and one for Lily. And I've been writing their hilarious and ridiculous questions and comments in them for years.
When and if I ever deem them old enough and responsible enough to appreciate these keepsakes and not to lose them in a stack of school yearbooks, I will give them these treasures.
Lily gave me three more questions last week to add to her book:
"Why do we have to wear underwear, anyway? What does it do?''
"Has a dog ever peed on you?''
"Can a person be born with pierced ears?''
Hand me the pen!
