Kids say the darndest things

I hadn't been to my friend’s house in quite a few months and hence my children had not been there either.  We were at his house to watch the superbowl.  We walked in and I take my contribution of snacks into the kitchen.  Ashli walks into the formal living room and exclaims, "Wow, it looks different in here!"  I walk in and look around with my friend and I ask him what he changed.  He isn't sure what she is talking about either.  We both turn to my daughter and ask her what has changed.  She looks right at us and says, "it is clean!"  I don't know whose face was more red, my friend's or mine. Maybe I shouldn't use exaggerated surprise when my daughter cleans her room either.

The funny thing is, that was my first reaction when I got there as well! I almost said it too:)

Ah, the delightful tactlessness of children! As one who has both a messy house and kids who occasionally blurt out tactless things, I can safely say I know how both you and your friend felt.

This reminds me of the time that I brought Eli up to our office. He promptly/loudly asked me why does one of our male coworkers have hair like a girl?
