Last night, as I was cuddling with my three-year old in his bed before he went to sleep, I asked him what he’d like to do the next day. I reminded him it was Presidents’ Day and although it was a Monday, there’d be no school.
It took him a few seconds to respond and this is what came out of his mouth:
“Do we get presents on Presents’ Day?”
And just for that, I think he deserves a present because I couldn’t help laughing (in a good way) at his wonderful confusion. At least his birthday is coming up next weekend so he won’t have long to wait for his own Presents’ Day.
My kids still say the darndest things…

That’s definitely something I’ll miss when my boys get bigger. But I’m sure they’ll have plenty of jokes and funny comments to share every day.
Ha . . . his first mondegreen!

How funny! I had no idea it was called that until I read Tilly’s post. It happens to me all the time, so I can’t feel bad for the kid.
So sweet! Loved your post! Many years ago, Art Linkletter had a show called, “Kids Say the Darndest Things”…and they do. :)
I do have a page on my blog dedicated to the funny things my kids say. It needs some updating but I love keeping track of it!

That’s just SO lovely. Oh, those moments are precious, so precious – and you’ve done exactly what I would: shared it :) Thanks for sharing, it made me smile.
Little kids have this innocence within them that reminds us how simple life really is. I’ll hate to see it go away one day, but I understand it’s part of growing up.
Aw so cute!!! He definitely deserves a present for that one.
He’s getting quite a few presents in a few days when he’ll be turning 4. He chose some of them on his own but others will be a surprise so I can’t wait to see the look on his face!
