I hear, I say

I haven't done one of these posts for a while, where I post about odd things I either hear my kids say or hear myself say when talking to them, but this one was too good not to share...

Today I asked the small kid what was on her arm, it looked kind of like paint or glue.

Her reply... "Oh that, it's elephant snot."

Clearly I was wrong, very wrong.

She delivered that line completely straight faced, offering no further explanation as to how said snot might have got on her arm.

A career on the stage lies ahead for her I am telling you!
(and a world of pain for me I fear...)
