7 Reasons Not to Mess with Children

It's been a long time since I posted my last post here. Here you go peeps I have new topic to post. I got these once again from my mother-in-law and I think these one is pretty neat to share. Kids are adorable and hard to figure out what they think or will going to say next. Enjoy these one.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'.

The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'

The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'.

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.'

The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.'

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.'


A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds.
After explaining the commandment to 'honour' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?'
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.'

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?'
Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.'
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?'

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.'

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.'
'Yes,' the class said.

'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?'
A little fellow shouted,
'Cause your feet ain't empty.'

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
'Take only ONE . God is watching.'

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'

Salmonella on Peanut Butter

Please beware of peanut butter. If you have been using peanut butter you better avoid and stop using it for your own safety and for your kids safety. Salmonella strikes again and this time you can get it from peanut butter. Most of products that has peanut butter to it had been recalled. Some of this products are peanut butter crackers, peanut butter paste and most likely products that contain peanut butter. There have been deaths reported because of salmonella. Please read here for that full report.

My hubby stop using peanut butter last Tuesday because he felt some pain on his stomach. He had diarrhea and a sharp pain on his stomach. He likes using peanut butter to make his favorite shake but he finally stopped using it. So parents please be cautious. It is better to be safe than sorry.

My Crazy Son and his Silly Ideas

One day when you think there is nothing or no one will make your day. Think again! You all know that I have a two year old son. If you are a Mom I bet you know what our kids can do or will do when they are silent. One day when I thought my son is behaving himself because I didn't heard him. I went to look for him because I was in our room that time. I went to our living room and there he is. All smiling at me at first I didn't noticed what he is smiling about until I looked down and saw what he got or should I say what he did. Oh my he cracked me up. I saw his dvd covers on his legs. He made it as his boots lol. I asked him how he done it? I mean I don't know how he managed to put those dvd covers on his legs. He just laughed at me and said "Mommy shoes"! I laughed so hard I almost peed. I took pictures of him for another souvenir of his funny ideas. Enjoy the pictures friends!

What Love Means

I got this email from one of my friends. I think it is pretty interesting to learn/know what kids think about love and what is love means to them. Find out below what their answers because it is deeper than you think it is.

What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . .

Touching words from the mouth of kids.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think.

And the final one

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him cry'

Is that touching or what? Kids learn a lot and observed a lot what is going on their surroundings, so we need to be a role model for them.

Vitamin D Update

Children of all ages should get 400 IU of vitamin D daily. This is according to updated guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. That's double the previous recommendation. Vitamin D will help kids develop strong bones and prevents rickets, and recent research has linked greater intakes with lower rates of diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and breast cancer in adults.

Breastfed babies including those who drank a quart of formula a day should start vitamin D drops in the first few days of life and take them for the first year. It takes four 8-ounce glasses of milk to get the full 400 IU, so even older kids who love milk will have a hard time getting enough vitamin D from it and from other fortified foods such as orange juice and cereal. They should take a daily multivitamin.
