The Things Kids Say

ByGloria Sample

Sage, our 4-year old granddaughter was spending the night with us last week. She wanted to watch some video tapes before going to bed, and chose "Jurassic Park."

I thought this was a little adventurous for a 4-year old at bedtime, and asked her, "Aren't you afraid of those dinosaurs?"

She replied, "No, my mom took me to the movie house to see it."

I said, "Weren't you afraid they would reach out and get you?"

She looked at me like I was the stupidest person on earth, and said, "MiMi, don't you know anything? We sat real far back so they couldn't reach us."
