June’s Winner!

Rain was forecasted, but hadn't arrived yet. I looked out the window and said, "Well, when is all this rain coming?" My
5-year-old daughter replied, "I don't know. I guess God didn't hear the news."  Hunter, 5, of Moreno Valley

THIS MONTH'S QUIPS

One afternoon, we had a sudden burst of hail. It was too strong for the boys to go outside and investigate, so I told them they had to be “isolated” from the storm. They sat at the window and watched. When their dad came home from work, Benjamin told him, “Dad, today when it rained, it was ice-o-lating.”  Benjamin, 4, of Menifee

A few weeks ago, my daughter wanted to swim in our pool. I told her it was too cold to swim, to which she responded, “Daddy, I can still swim. I’ll just go and get a jacket!”  Grace, 3, of Chino Hills

While having our house fumigated, we had to stay with my in-laws. One morning, my mother-in-law was making breakfast for my then-3-year-old daughter. She asked Melissa how she liked her eggs. Melissa replied, “Cracked!”  Melissa, 7, of Banning

I was reading a book and my daughter Kamya came in and said, “Mommy, you’re not talking.” When I told her that I was reading, she replied, “Yay! You talked, Mommy! Do it again!” When I mentioned my reading again, she said, “You did it again, Mommy! I missed your voice!”  Kamya, 2, of San Bernardino

My 5-year-old was helping me unload our shopping cart at the checkout counter. She picked up a pack of sanitary napkins and yelled, “Look! These are my mommy’s diapers!” Jan, 5, of Corona

When my 4-year-old wanted to enter his 13-year-old brother’s room, his brother said, “Nein.” My little one looked at his big brother and said, “Why did you say ‘nine’?” My oldest replied, “‘Nein’ means ‘no’ in German.” My little guy sighed and said, “Oh. So, what does ‘eight’ mean?”  Camden, 4, of Hemet

As we were waiting for our plane, I sat on a nearby bench that was a bit wobbly. I told my daughter, who was about to sit with me, “This bench is shaky-shaky!” My daughter smiled sweetly and said, “Because you’re heavy-heavy!” Rylan,  4 1/2, of Beaumont

I told my son that when he turned 3 years old, he would start getting potty-trained. He turned to me and said, “But I don’t want to ride the potty train!”  Robby, 3, of Riverside

My son mentioned that when we move into a new house, he would like a forest in the backyard. I told him that we’d have to move back to the mountains (Arrowhead) to have a forest. He replied, referring to an orchard, “No. I mean a FRUITY forest!”   Evan, 6, of Riverside

I was at my church when one of my Sunday-school kids ran up to me, gave me a kiss and then ran off. Her mother came up to me shortly afterward and said, “I asked Lianna if that was your teacher. She said, “No! That’s my boyfriend!’”  Lianna, 3, of Loma Linda
