10 fun things kids say

Because you've probably already heard enough feminist slogans thrown around your ears and I can't completely ignore International Women's Day (although I must say that I sigh a bit at everyone trying to profit commercially from it. That's not really what this day is about, dear people), I decided to let the little women have their say. Because if a byproduct of this day (which was established in 1909 to improve women's rights) is that we should be kind to each other, then our younger generation is a shining example of that. Therefore, here are the sweetest things our daughters are have said lately in a row. For a smile or a hearty laugh.

1. “Mom, do you like that you have beautiful breasts?”

Look, those are compliments that really touch you.

2. “My mom never poops. And if she does, it smells like flowers.”

3. “Can I have a little cake?”

Child, you are right. A little cake is also a treat.

4. “Mom, you were at a party with the queen, right? Did you talk together?”

Answer: “Well, that's not exactly how it works in practice. I was somewhere where she was the guest of honor. It's not really polite to approach her.”

Daughter: “Well, if I were the queen and I saw you, I would have immediately approached you to chat.”

5. “I can count backwards from 100 to 1.”

6. “No, that was super long ago. It was the day before yesterday.”

7. “Mom, I know you can't do 10,000 things at once, but can I maybe have a sandwich?”

8. “Mom, you were sitting there, right? In the front of the plane? In those nice soft seats?”

9. When the gentleman from the ANWB introduces himself and shakes my daughter's hand: “Hi, I'm Hans, and you are…?” And she replies with “Perfect.”

10. Or the wonderfully sobering

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”

“Nothing. Just like grandma.”
