40. When we arrived in Japan my daughter announced, “Panera needs to go international!” upon learning that she would have to go three years without it.
41. While at the commissary, my three year old noticed all the men and women wearing the same uniform as her daddy. She said, “Mommy, daddy has a lot of people on his team.”
42. We are about to PCS. My son is excited for the move, but this morning he realized his last day of school here will be on a Wednesday. He asked if we could stay till that Friday. Why? He didn’t want to miss his spelling test!
43. As I handed over my ID at the gate, the guard said “welcome home” and my three year old said, “This is not our home.”
44. “Daddy’s at work, daddy come out of computer, come home, no work,” says my three year old to my husband while on Skype.
45. While at the commissary my daughter says, “Mommy, being in the Army makes us rich.” I asked her why do you think that? She says, “Because we have our own private food store!”
46. I asked my daughter where daddy went. She said he went to go get mustard. I said “What?” She said, “Yea, he got in his uniform and said he had to get mustard.” I said “Ohhh…he went to muster!”
47. Our oldest (nine) asked if we could move again now…because he is bored and wants to stay the night in a hotel with a pool!!
49. My son had to fill out a “get to know you form” at his new school (favorite color, favorite food, favorite cartoon etc.) Under phone number he wrote “classified!”
50. Our four year old, while playing, randomly said, “But Chief Dr. Suess said Captain Cat in the Hat was going to take care of it!”
51. While hearing something flying over our house for the hundredth time that day I said, “Listen buddy, I hear an airplane!” My four year old looks at me funny and says, “Mum that’s a Helicopter. Actually, it’s a Helo.”
52. Daddy is deployed, and our youngest son is five. I told him, “Good job with homework today, I’m proud of you!” My son says, “Yeah, and you didn’t get mad at me today, we should email daddy and tell him!” I laughed, but I also took a picture to email to my husband and tell him the good news…no fighting during homework today!
53. “My daddy goes camping and hunting for men…he’s in the infantry!” She’s three.
54. My husband is no longer active duty, but we talk Marine Corps all the time. One day my husband and my son were wrestling around with each other and my son gave my husband a wedgie and yelled, “HIGH AND TIGHT!” then ran off. Cracked us up! I guess that term can work for both ends!
