Funny kids

When the Dina and Abel started talking, my sister and I would text each other with funny things our kids said. I eventually started a note on my phone with all of these things. I titled it Funny Kids.


Much like with this blog, I am so grateful to my former tired self for doing this. I would have for sure forgotten a lot of these things if I hadn’t written them down. 

The story for the first quote is this: When Dina was in kindergarten, we lived in the boondocks of Hemet. I had to drive Dina and Abel to the bus stop at 7 AM and then pick them up from an even farther location after school because they were in an after school program. I did not have a job back then but there were enrichment activities and I would rather they stay entertained at school than be bored at home. They would get home at around 6 ish. There was no nap in kindergarten and Dina was exhausted most days after school. She would oftentimes fall asleep in the car and I would have to wake her up to eat dinner when we got home. One day, she had enough of waking up to eat dinner. Hence “WHY DO WE HAVE TO EAT DINNER EVERYDAY??!!”

Kindergarten Dina

I spontaneously remembered this quote during Covid when I had to start cooking lunch and dinner everyday. Why do these kids want three meals everyday??


One more story about Dina: second grade Dina had a ruler with former presidents. "But its not complete, mami. It doesn't have Barack Obama or Donald Duck. I mean Donald... Dump!"
