Kids will
Say...........
On the way to his football game Patrick told his Housedad in a very excited
voice that, "tonight I'm gonna be a fullback!" On the way home after the
game his housedad questioned him as to why he didn't play at fullback.
Patrick replied in a serious voice, "The coach is just saving me for desperate
times!"
4 year old N'Sharia was talking to Ms. Kara one day their conversation went
something like this:
N'Sharia - "Ms. Kara, how did you get your baby out?
Ms. Kara - "The doctor took her out at the hospital."
N'Sharia - Oh - she's pretty. Are you gonna go back and get another one?"
Rachel Johnson came over to the Campus Life Office, and was really chomping on a
pickle. Pam Criger, administrative asst., said to her, "Boy, that pickle
looks so good. Is it a sweet pickle or a dill pickle?" Rachel replied,
"I don't know. I didn't look at the jar!"
Laura Fuller, Housemom for Brotherhood Cottage, overheard Joey and Amanda, then
age 6, singing along with a CD she was playing. The song they were
listening to was "He's Exalted." What they were singing was, "He's
Exhausted."
Mike Hyde the Housedad in Phillips Cottage was looking for Andrew Butler,
age 6, one morning. Andrew has a tendency to
wander and explore new places. He couldn't find Andrew on any of the
playgrounds or porches. He was getting ready to go cottage to cottage
looking for him, when He saw Andrew coming out of Brotherhood Cottage.
Mr. Hyde
was just getting ready to get on to Andrew, when Ms. Laura, our campus nurse
and housemom of Brotherhood came out and said, "Don't get on him I was
putting a bandage on his knee." Mr. Mike then walked Andrew
home and asked him why he didn't come home for a bandage. He
look at Mr. Mike kind of of
puzzled and said, "Because that is the NURSERY COTTAGE!!"
He just
looked at him and laughed.
Mike Hyde the Housedad in Phillips Cottage was
teasing Ms. Marge, the Housemom one morning about being stressed out. And since she
was totally stressed out, she was getting pretty aggravated with him,
and stated, "You are driving me crazy". Tiffany, age
7, was trying to be helpful, and explained to them the
symptoms of somebody driving you crazy!
"Your head spins and all you can hear is the person that is
aggravating you."
Ms. Marge spent the rest of the morning walking around the house saying, "I really need for my head
to stop spinning."
Michael Bailey was nine years old and lived in Hutchinson cottage. At
supper one night, everyone at his table was taking turns telling when their
birthday was. Michael sat listening like he was in deep thought, and when
it was his turn, he offered this: "Yeah, and you know what else? My
birthday comes the same time every single year!"
Amanda Kirkley had been home sick with a nasty cold. After she woke
from her nap, she asked her housemom, "Mamaw, will you fix me mixed up eggs?"
Ms Polly, knowing that she was referring to scrambled eggs, said, "I sure will."
She did, and Amanda promptly woofed them all down. Later in the day,
Amanda was wanting more eggs, but obviously thought it might be too much to ask
twice in one day. So she tried this very creative approach: "Mamaw,
can you teach me RIGHT NOW, how to make mixed up eggs?" It worked!
Ms. Kaye, a housemom that has been with us for over 30 years and also our supply room
supervisor brought one of our children new underwear one day. Brandon
Butler, who had outgrown his old underwear was very thankful and told her, "This
is great, no more wedgies!"
