Comment from Hitcher
Ha ha, aren't they just priceless, and we can't really get cross at them because they are only repeating what we have told them and some times that can come back and bite us in the behind Hysterically. It is all our own fault is it not? Got some news for you...

Comment from GWHARGIS
Very cute. I liked the way she repeated her daddy's favorite line. You captured the essence of the child and how she views the world. Nice job.

Comment from Newsome
This is a very cute story. I enjoyed reading it. I especially liked the father naming his mowers. Now that's a man thing because when some men are especially fond of something inanimate like guns or cars or mowers, they tend to give them names. I don't want to tell you what I named my old "62" Ford Falcon because Steve wouldn't be happy!
As usual, a great write, Jimi..would never expect less from you because you aren't able to write anything that isn't great! Your loyal fan..............

Comment from Dave M
Jimi,
I thoroughly enjoyed this story about a little boy who thought cliches were real. Most children are literal minded. I remember, in the morning, my mother would tell me to "shake a leg." I shook my leg, of course, but I didn't get out of the bed. Turns out my wife did the same thing with her mother.
Dave
PS I found no nits at all.

Hilarious. I can see my own children doing this very thing. As Art Linkletter said many years ago,"Kids say the darndest things." Great writing.

Comment from EMB
Well, there's like an unwritten rule about naming certain machines. (It was in the secret "Men's Memo" just last week. LOL) This was an adorable tale of how a child takes grown-up words at face value. I found it highly entertaining. :)
Excellent work with this.

Comment from Lobengula
This was a beauty! Written perfectly, as you'd expect from 'Mommy!' It's really far more fun fitting into the world of little children than trying to bring them into ours. The problem is that they can take things so literally. Buffy's quite likely to tell the neighbour that he, too, has a loose screw, but that he can fix it with his Daddy's screwdriver!
Beautiful piece of work, love. Mike
