What Sarah Says

Little kids are the pinnacle of creative thinking and originality. They have such an “outside the box” way of describing and reacting to things. They don’t have to “try” to be creative, they just are. Everything is brand new and fresh! So with this is mind, I thought it would be fun now and then to share some of my 3 year old’s perspectives on things. She is a never-ending source of amusement in our family, and besides, this is a good way to keep track of all her little “Sarah-isms”.

The first little Sarah-ism I want to share happened when we were getting ready to leave the parking lot after shopping recently. A couple of days before, Sarah had noticed cigarettes for the first time. My wife and I were quick to explain as best as we were able to a three year old, about the dangers of smoking. We were very proud about all the questions she asked.

Anyway, back to the parking lot. As we were getting ready to leave, a man with very dark skin walked past our car, smoking a cigarette. As he walked by, puffing away fiercely, Sarah stared. As soon as he’d gone by she said, “That man is smoking. Smoking is bad for your body!”

“That’s right Sarah!” We were thrilled that she had gotten our message.

But the next thing she said really took the wind out of our sails. “Yeah, smoking makes your body turn brown!” Of course this immediately led to trying to explain skin color, and it’s not a “bad” thing and so on……..Oops!

If you like this post, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.
