Childhood Wisdom

On a trip to the doctor with my three year old, we sat in the waiting room trying to keep busy. The nurse called us back for him to be weighed, b/p check..the usual. Before she brought us to the room, she asked him if he wanted a sucker. "Yes!" was his answer. She gave him the sucker and took us to our room to wait on the doctor. After he finished the sucker he wanted another one. I told him after we see the doctor we would ask the nurse if he could have another. As soon as the doctor came into the room my three year old said, "Mama, I want a hooga." I said, "What, sugar?" "No, hooga!" was his response. I told him, "I just don't understand what you're saying." He looked at me with disappointment in his eyes, cocked that little head to the right, and said, "CANDY, MAMA!"

Kid's understanding and reasoning are so perfect. They learn from a young age how to get their point across. It starts out as a cry in the middle of the night when they are babies and grows into words...maybe not english words at first, but words not the less. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
