Kids say the darnedest things……



  • Girl asked Ezra today: Am I correct? Your Mums name is crazy? (Insightful childJ)     


  • Rainy 1st morning on the boat (we had a very loud snorer in the bunks beside us!!) “Who did all that loud snorking?” Mum: “what do you mean?” Rainy: “The snorking noise like the snort in are you my mother!”


  • Rainy when he’s very hot: I'm dripping hot!!  (Very accurateJ )


  • There are wild cats here in Tokelau, Matt was explaining to Rainy that they are Feral…..A few days later He says to me Mum do you know that the cats in Tokelau are invisible…. Took me a while to work out what he meant, but now he is determined that they are invisible…when we see them he yells out Mum an invisible cat!!


  • “Mum you know where your poo comes out I just did a really yucky wee from there.”- The runs as an almost 4 year old describes it!



  • One little friend from preschool calls me Palagi, no matter where we are, often when I’m walking through the village or swimming I hear a little voice call out Malo Palagi and sure enough there she is waving and smiling to me….I love itJ


  • At Preschool they were writing the kids names on their pictures, a first name then family name initial, on Rainys it was written, Rainy P., I asked one of the Mum’s what the “P” was for and she dropped her eyes and said with a sheepish smile “Palagi”- Classic!


  • Nga at the big Ulu celebration, “Mum Mum do you know that I’m three things?” What? “Maori, Indian and Palagi!!”- cute, later in the day…”maybe I can be just a squeeze Tokelauan too”


  • Melita was trying to position herself to get hit by the fan, “I can’t get it to blow me”…..Rainy (who obviously miss heard pipes up, “I don’t belong here either, I belong in Cannons Creek”- would make a good tee-shirtJ


  • When Rainy grows up He wants to be “The bear Grills!!” “or a Motorbike!!”( Not a rider an actual Motorbike!)  Go Rainy,

-Thanks Jenni M for Man vs Wild, Rainy and Ez particularly have been loving it!

  • Rainy: Mum I’ve got a mgnghsga (I couldn’t hear), “What love?”  Now much more loudly “I’VE GOT A SWEATY BUTT CRACK!!!!”  - a special case this boy of mineJ
