Kid Speak 1.0

Yes, kids do have the tendency to say things exactly how it is processed in their minds. And if it comes from a 4 year old, it will usually make you stop, spin around and say, "What?" This happened this weekend with our very own 4 year old.

On Friday, we took the boys to see their first professional hockey game. The game was a preseason match-up between the Utah Grizzlies and the Idaho Steelheads. The great thing was that game was played at the ice area we have here in our small valley. For the game, the Grizzlies were wearing black sweaters and the Steelheads were in white sweaters.



The game was great, but sad due to the fact the hometeam lost. The next night the conversation got interesting. The 4 year old and I were talking and he asked the following question, "Dad, remember at the hockey game when the black guy got in a flight with the white guy?" I have to admit, my mind was wandering a bit, but this snapped me back to reality lightning fast. It clicked, he was talking about the color of their sweaters. It reminds me of the time when our 7 year old was in the middle of his entrance interview for Kindergarten and was asked, "Do you have a tv show you enjoy watching." His unhesitating response, "I like watching Dogfights with my dad." Priceless!!!
