I
don’t know about your kid, but mine has said some pretty priceless
stuff. “Candy is my medicine”, “I just burped out of my butt”, and
when holding up our hands and asking her what five plus five is, she
takes her extended fingers and places them by the side of her head and
proudly declares, “antlers!”
Yes, I try to remember as many of
these chestnuts and sometimes I manage to jot them down on a random
piece of paper. Thing is my memory ain’t what she used to be, and the
random scraps of paper are easily misplaced (I blame that whole no
memory thing). You know what I need? A special journal to store all
these precious gems.
Chronicle Book evidently picked up that vibe from me (and I’m sure countless other parents) and has released the My Quotable Kid – A Parent’s Journal of Unforgettable Quotes. This
handsomely bound book includes space for a date, which kid said it, and
what they said. And this isn’t some random Mead notebook, this volume
with fit share the shelf with your hardbound editions of Joyce, Camus
and Nabokov. You can pick up your own journal here for $14.95.
