23. “My global address is what?”
24. While walking through the clinic (on an Air Force Base), my kids saw the pictures of airplanes on the wall, and said, “Is this also an airport?”
25. Me: “We may move back to Illinois for a little while.” My seven year old: “Finally! We are leaving Mexico and going back to the United States!” (We are stationed in Ft. Bliss)
26. It was summertime at Fort Bragg and we were waiting patiently in line at the Reilly gate. My three year old daughter spoke in chopped sentences at the time. Our time came to show ID and I rolled down my window and my daughter’s. The SPC greeted us and my daughter said, “Mom, soldiers are hot,” in a serious tone. The SPC blushed as did I, trying to explain that she meant they were hot from the heat and sweaty!
27. My kids had only known living on post as home, so when we became recruiters and moved, my kids asked where the “ID line” was to get home!
28. The Pledge of Allegiance. I love it when they say it for us!
29. I told my daughter that Daddy had duty one day and she said, “Ewwww dooty!”
30. A neighbor kid at our last duty station (seven years old) sees packagess delivered by UPS at my front door. He’s mid story about something else, breaks story without emotion and asks, “Y’all PCSing?” But keeps walking with my son like it’s an every day occurrence.
31. My oldest is six and my twins are three. We were standing in line at the commissary a while back and my oldest over heard a Mom behind us tell another how old her kid was. “36 months?! That baby is older than you, Mom!” To which I replied (after snorting to prevent from laughing) “36 months is three years. Like Zelda and Seifer.” My son then said something I’ve been saying for years, “Then why doesn’t she just say three? Saying her kid is 36 months sounds stupid.” I about died…and almost peed my pants.
32. My two and a half year old son has recently started yelling “Daddy!” over and over to every man in uniform we see!
33. Right as I handed my ID to the guard at the gate, my eight year old asked, “Mom, do you have to take your clothes off to use an outhouse?” I tried to hold back a laugh and the gate guard said, “I sure hope not…then I’ve been doing it wrong!”
34. My oldest son (four years old) put my husband’s cover on our vacuum and told me, “It’s the new daddy, for when daddy goes away.” He proceeded to explain that the “new daddy” could help me clean the house, and that I can move him when I need to.
35. My four year old: “Where are we again…Georgia, or Texas?”
36. Our two year old told me last night that, “Daddy loves you and he’s a hero, but he’s sad because he doesn’t have ice cream.”
37. “There goes the ‘pugle’ again,” every time the Bugle sounds off.
38. My seven year old answered my husband’s cell phone the other day. “Hello, may I help you?” A moment of silence while she is listening then she yells, “Daddy, there’s a SPC Sandoval on the phone!” Then to Sandoval, “Stand by until the master approaches.”
39. My son: “When do we PCS again?” Me: “Why?” My Son: “I like eating out every day.”
