KID QUOTES
"The Strawberry Store" 
I record funny sayings from my kids. This was from my oldest son when he was three: 

My husband went to the Apple Store. While he was gone, my son asked, "Where's Daddy?" Then he said, "Oh, I know. He's at the Strawberry Store."
 
We asked for some of your favorite kid quotes and this was one of our favorites. My 7 and 3 year old boys loved it too...I wonder why:)
 
Lindsey said, "My youngest is 2 and he likes those Lil candies (smarties). Well I couldn't understand what candy he was talking about because he calls them farties. Lol"
