Parker-isms

Parker-isms: (n); the funny and not so funny things that come out of my kids mouth, and the most funny of times.

It is funny being a parent, but even more fun when you have such independent, opinionated children, that are far too old and WISE for their age!  These are a few things my kids have shared with me lately...

D: mom, my Spanish teacher said that if Mexicans ran our country, it would be Hell.
Mom: Well honey, there are bad presidents, and good presidents, your race doesn't have anything to do with how you run our country.  Comments like those are racist honey.  Plus, isn't your teacher Spanish?
D: yes mom, that's just what she said, NOT ME!

I have a very small mole on my chin, to the left of my mouth, like a beauty mark, sort of.  My daughter has made it a habit to call this "my witches mole".  So one morning, I woke up with a small pimple just under the mole, but it looked like it was growing.  So this is the conversation that followed.
N: Mom, your witches mole is growing.
mom: N, 2 things, #1- it's not a witches mole, and #2- it's not growing. .
N: You could have fooled me,  I thought it was growing because your so mean.
mom: WHAT?  I am not mean...  it is a small pimple under it, so it just looks like it is bigger.
N: your too old to get pimples!
mom: Just go to school!  (As I am laughing my butt off)

I can't make these things up, I swear!
