Funny Kid Quotes

Holly (to our "adopted Grandma" Miss Irene who loves to buy Holly little gifts): Miss Irene, I really like your money!

Holly (to Michael while he was throwing "groceries" on the floor during their game of grocery store as she tried to get him to play the role of the check-out clerk): Michael, that is BAD customer service!

Holly: Mom, do you know what I'm most excited about for Grandma's visit?
Me: What?
Holly: So she can clean under the stove and behind the fridge -- they're SO dirty!

Holly (to my mom): Grandma, my mom is not good at cleaning. I'm glad you're here to help her!

Me (calling out while Holly and Michael were having fun playing a game together): Michael, Michael, come here honey.
Holly (quietly to Michael...but unfortunately for her, not quietly enough): Just ignore her, Michael. Just ignore her!

Holly!

That is so hilarious! Holly's really quite a character. I love her comment to your mom about you not being good at cleaning :)

The photos of your parents with the kids are so precious! I just love the photo of your dad reading to Mikey - it's just such a special and intimate moment that they were able to share; how lovely.
