LinkStuff – Creditors Hiding In The Forest Edition

My daughter is almost three and likes to repeat pretty much everything she hears. Recently she was watching a dinosaur show where they mentioned “predators in the forest”. Now she keeps warning us of the “creditors in the forest and other meat-eaters too”. 🙂  Ok, maybe you had to be there.

My daughter is getting to that age now, and it’s been fun trying to interpret some of the crazy things she says. Creditors in the forest is pretty funny.

Thanks for the mention Mike, and have a great weekend!

Thanks for the mention . . . maybe your next book should be “The funny things kids say…”. If you need one for the book, my two year old boy said “Daddy, I poo pooed” as he held up his hand full of brown stuff. Actually, that wasn’t very funny!
Have a great day!
