Kids Say the Darndest Things

Gabriel has just started going to school last June and between that month until September, he has amazed us with the funniest and sometimes shocking things that comes out of his mouth!

Here are some samples:

Gabby: Mommy, i have a girl friend...
Me: Who is your girlfriend?
Gabby: Ate Winslet...she's hard to get!


I even experimented to find out if he knew the meaning of the term girlfriend or boyfriend. When we were wathching TV i pointed out to a certain guy and announced "He is my boyfriend!" Gabby started to cry and shouted "No, mommy! Daddy is your boyfriend!" So there you go! He knows!

One time, we were watching a cartoon show with a horse in it, i forgot exactly what show it was. Gabby started screaming at the horse on the TV "Damn you horse!", shocked, I asked him again what he just said. And very as-matter-of-fact he told me "Mommy, i said damn you horse."

So when there are times that he reacts to something with an "Oh man!" or "Oh my God!" it doesn't really surprise me anymore.

Attending school has really developed Gabriel's social skills. He is not timid around strangers and he can adjust to situations real good. It's just that he picks-up words and ideas that I would really not have him use yet. But I guess that is every other parent's dilemma.
