The Funny Things People Say

Setting: Work
Situation: I'm laying on the ground showing one of my clients (child) silly kid friendly breathing techniques. After observing me for a moment she says...
Child A (4 yrs old): "You're big and then you're little".
Alina: "What?"
Child A: "You're big and then you're little! My mom is big and then she's big".
Yep, pretty positive she was referring to my small top and rather large bottom. Love children's sincere honesty!

Setting: Work
Situation: Therapy session with a child. I was utilizing a technique where I repeat what they say and do.
Child B (5 yrs old): "Why do you always copy me?"
Alina: "What do you think?"
Child B: "Because Jesus made you that way? Or, is it because I'm really funny?"
Not sure how either one applied but I let him know I definitely thought he was funny!

Setting: Zumba Class at the Bountiful Recreation Center with my Mom.
Situation: The instructor was having us do "booty battles". Yep I said it, and with the class split in half my booty was shaking in front of one of four guys attending the class.
Alina: "That was so embarrassing!"
Mom: "That's what they're here for so let them have it!"
Alina: "Mom!"
Mom: "Well if they're going to come to the class then they can suffer".
Alina: "Wait, now you're saying my booty shaking is so bad they were suffering?"
Oh, my sweet mother. First she tells me to give it to them and then she says they're suffering watching. She always makes me laugh, she's my favorite!

Setting: Smiths Grocery Store
Situation: Standing in the fruit section feeling Stephen's tonsils as he was feeling sick.
Cute Old Lady: "Is he sick?"
Alina: "Ya, he's not feeling too good".
Cute Old Lady: "Well I've been watching you two and you've had enough time with him".
Alina and Stephen: SILENCE
Cute Old Lady: "Send him home with me and I'll take care of him".
(Sounds a bit creepy now reading it, but she was truly a sweet older grandma type lady)
Stephen: "Maybe I should, you know, give her one last hoorah".
I laughed my guts out...then maybe puked in my mouth at the thought of it.
