"From the mouth of babes..."

[SunRose7]

"from the mouth of babes..." my mom always says when my two and a half year old son says those endearing, lovable, and sometimes embarassing phrases that 2 year olds are just wonderful at conjuring up.

well today my son walks up to me and says "mommy, tiss my boo boo." so i kiss the little boo boo on his finger, and as much as you wish, it doesn't always make it better.. so he holds his little finger out again and says to me..

"mommy.. take my boo boo off!":cry:

wow, now if the rules of the universe had governed this do-able i would have in a heartbeat.. "what a great idea i thought." i wish things worked that way.. just take the boo boo off like a sticker or a bandaid. i look at his skinned knees and elbows, what a beautiful idea indeed!

wouldn't our jobs be a world different if it worked that way:nurse:?? i just had to share.:redbeathe

Ah, the innocence of little children. There is nothing sweeter. And that is one reason why I had 6 of them. I like kids of all ages, even often obnoxious teenagers...speaking of...my 18 yr old (youngest) is presently being an ass. And he was such an incredibly sweet little guy.

Ah, there is no filter on the lil' ones.

My three year old loudly announced in a very crowded restaurant the other day that she was "gonna pee all over myself". *LMAO* We quickly went to the bathroom while the mother of a boy around the same age behind us about peed her pants laughing at mine!

Yes, I would have to agree that the filter does not come standard on the wee ones. Actually it's not even optional.

(Personal Embarassment story: My son saw a rather gruff looking woman at the store and proudly announced "Mommy! Das a MAN!"........... heh heh :uhoh21: )

For the sake of nursing-realated discussion I will also add that I'm interested in seeing the honesty of children when caring for them as a nurse instead of a mother. Can't wait for Peds clinicals!
