Kids Say the Darndest Things Friday

My brother and his wife had their first baby, Julianne, on Monday - yay!!! At one point, I was talking on the phone to my mom when they were still laboring in the hospital. Caroline wanted to talk to Gramma, so I gave her the phone and heard the following conversation:

Caroline: "Why hasn't Julianne been born yet?"

Gramma: "She's just not quite ready to come out yet."

Caroline: "Maybe she's shy."

Gramma: (amused) "Hmm, maybe."

Caroline: "Yeah... because she doesn't know anybody on the outside yet."

Another humorous thing Caroline said... she asked me "What was that green bottle that was on the table at our St. Patrick's Day party." "Sprite," I told her, and explained that it was sort of like Coke, and that she'd probably think it was "spicy." She said that at her Mother's Morning Out class they had served Sprite on St. Patrick's Day as well, and she tried a sip and didn't like it at all... then she said, "And some of the other kids liked it! Ivan and Myah, they even asked for more!"
