My dad has hairy legs
My mom is the lead teacher at Barrington Child Care Center, and she often comes home with funny stories about what her kids say to her during the day. She told me that they think she has a funny accent (my mom's from the South) and always want her to talk. She said they tell her that she "talks funny". I'm not sure how preschool age children are able to tell the differences between accents, but I'm guessing since their parents sound different, they think my mom sounds funny. I never thought little kids would ever pick up on things like that. The daycare also has many children with disabilities. This one little girl in my mom's class has never spoken a complete sentence (she's around four or five years old) and can only speak in broken words. Then one day my mom put a movie on for the kids since it was raining out. It was a boring movie about building things and my mom said even she was bored. Then out of nowhere, the little girl yells out, "My dad has hairy legs!" My mom had no idea where this came from, since it had nothing to do with anything anyone was saying. It's amazing to hear what comes out of kids mouths. My mom is very proud and brags about how the girl spoke her first sentence in her class, even if it was about her dad's hairy legs.
