Our three-year old son asked, “Did he kill himself?”
Trying not to laugh too hard, Hubby and I told our son it was likely an accident. Meanwhile visions are running through our minds of a distraught squirrel throwing himself in front of a car yelling, “Nuts! Nuts! Is that all there is??”
A little while later, our son sees two squirrels chasing each other and he asks, “Do you think they know their friend is dead?”
Folks, I can’t make this stuff up.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends. We have a soccer game, birthday party and Sunday school volunteer duties, among other craziness this weekend. But I plan to take it all in stride because our new mattress is being delivered this afternoon. Comfort is on its way – holla!And, best of luck to my Kentucky Wildcats against Ohio State tonight - bring it, guys!

I always loved the stuff the kids said when they were little...One time my son asked me: "Dad, are fishes eyes waterproof?"
"do they know their friend is dead...priceless!!
Go Cats!
That's a wonderful Friday story,
I wish the best of luck to Kentucky Wildcats if you do the same with my ice hockey team who play semi final match tomorrow.
Happy weekend!
How cute. Well, do you think they knew? That's a fair question (:
Oh goodness! That was too much! And yes, GO CATS!
I love the unvarnished logic of children. I agree with Danielle, it is a fair question, but how in the world to answer it?
Oh yeah is UK in some sort of sporting event?.....Just kiddin'! I hope they bury the Buckeyes!
"Nuts! Nuts! Is that all there is?". That's going to be my new line when I've had enough and can't take it any more! LOL
Love love love this! My mom kept a leather journal full of our quotes (one for each child) and I adore looking at it now. Hope you have a fabulous weekend! :)
haha, kids say the darnedest things!! the squirrels here in cville are CRAZY- your son would definitely get a kick out of them!
I am laughing out loud! Thanks.
Hahahahaha! Thank you for such a great start to my weekend.
sleep well on your new mattress.
i know how fabulous the first night is.
i hope you don't have squirrel nightmares.
happy weekend xxx
Our squirrels really are insane and do jump in front of cars so we call them Suicide Squirrels. Perhaps one of them migrated to your neck of the woods. I love how tenderhearted kids are!
So sweet. Amazing what goes through their little minds.

Out of the mouths of babes...it never ceases to amaze me what my two year-old will say when she opens her mouth! :) And what about our Wildcats?!?! Woot woot!
Everyone's comments made me smile.
MLS - waterproof eyes for fishes - classic!
Ella, best of luck to your hockey team - hope they kick ice. :)
Danielle and James, good question. I wonder if they knew. Something to ponder.
Teresa, thank you for the blogger award! I will have to follow up on it.
Sara, GO CATS!
