When picking up my daughter from school one day, I noticed that the bulletin board outside the classroom had some new creations.
Clever idea actually, a project called, ‘My Favorite Part About Me’. Each child announced their favorite body part and why they liked it best. There were so many adorable answers like, “My Arms: to hold my new baby brother”, “My Nose: Without it I couldn’t smell Mom’s dinners”, “My Neck: It holds my head on” etc, etc.
But then there was this particular one, from a boy that claimed his favorite part was his hands.
Read why…
Ummmmm….
Gotta love this kids honesty at 8 years old! I bet this is one piece of artwork that’s going on the fridge!
HaHaHaHa!

Haha, that’s pretty funny. Probably innocent enough though (I hope). We have locks on all the doors upstairs in our house and my girls have been known to ‘pick the locks’ with bobby pins and barrettes instead of asking me to unlock them. lol
Tammi says
Smart kids! I’m the one trying everything to get them out of locked rooms. You’d think they’d learn!!
Teresa M says
That is a cute picture…the innocent minds of our children are beautiful.
Tammi says
So true Teresa!
Colette S @JamericanSpice says
This does give thought of where he learned such a thing.
I feel it could save his life if he needed to get ouf of a house or building….
I love the idea of speaking about the body parts!
Tammi says
It’s a good project right? I liked reading through them.
And yes, it could come in handy one day!!
🙂
Anne Younger says
I love this and I kinda dig this kid! LOL!
Tammi says
He’s very creative, thats for sure!
Brandi says
LOL omg that’s just too funny. Might be an issue later on in life, but for now it’s cute! haha
Rosey says
There are some things in life that are only cute when you’re ten and under. This one qualifies. hahahahaha.
Tammi says
ya, now if it were an adult…. lol
Shannon (The Mommy-Files) says
Oh I Love it!!! xoxo
Angela says
Oh my! Why on earth would an 8 year old be picking locks? Hopefully, by the time he’s a teen there will be a better use for those hands. LOL
Tammi says
I’m a Mom of girls, I have no idea sometimes!! Boys seem to be a whole different ball game to me!
Kris @ Beyond the Whiskers says
Hahaha! Get the feeling this one has a little sister at home. I’d love to see the kid’s parents’ faces when they get this one back. Can you say blackmail material for the future? 😉
Tammi says
Anyones reaction for that matter, I would have love to have a camera set up there for people reading it!
Shan says
So cute! Thanks for sharing!
blessings,

I wonder if this art work is going to come up at parent – teacher meetings. My face would be all kinds of red if my son wrote something like that on a school art project.
Tammi says
Wonder if something like this would be a cause for concern… meh, I laughed. But then, it’s not my little lock-picker!! lol
Tania Smith says
Ha! That is hilarious. Kids are wonderful. I have to wonder though if that will be presented into evidence at a future date?
🙂
Doris Calvert says
OMG! Now that is so funny!! One to hang up at her wedding!! Priceless!
Tammi says
Agreed!
Terra Heck says
At least he was honest about it! haha
angie smith says
“My Neck: It holds my head on” LMAO! amazing
Tammi says
funny right? Hair: so I can brush it. <~ that was another. Feet: so I can wear socks ... they were all really cute. Ahh, such little precious minds, love kids' way of thinking!
Areta says
Such a cute post!
Laura says
That is so awesome. Save that one!!
Aimee says
From the mouths of babes… Once my Mom cleaned her fridge door and a few minutes later she went into the kitchen and found a red smudge on the door. She asked my 5 year old niece, who had just been eating salsa, where the mark on her clean fridge came from. Straight-faced, my niece said to her “You must have missed a spot”! Sassy kids! 😀
Tammi says
oh, hahaha!!!!
That is adorable!
Stacey says
LOL this is truly awesome.
Debbie W says
That’s a keeper. Oh my!
Shari G says
LOL that’s hilarious! When we went to my son’s school in his JK class they had a list of things that they liked, and the list was normal things like: reading, playing cars, playing with my friends, my mom, etc….then at the bottom it said “I like to race”. I said geez that sounds like my kid. The teacher laughed and said they asked each student what 1 thing they liked, and mine said Ito race!!! and then ran around the room LOL
holly messana says
That is funny, what a cute project though for the kids
Jennifer Abbott says
lol cute but I hope when he gets older he doesn’t still want to pick locks
Victoria Ess says
Haha that one is hilarious! I love the activity .
ellen beck says
He probably will beg the teacher not to send that one home 🙂 Wonder what lock he is picking? Ha!
J says
Agreed – that is a total keeper.
Jenn Zeisloft says
I love this…..will be great to share with my kids when they are tween and teens as a reminder of how wonderful they are…at a time when self image us an issue with girls.
Kellie says
Hahaha. I wonder what this child’s “When I Grow Up” essay is going to be about!
Julia says
That’s a great trick. Don’t know many 8 year old’s that can pick locks. Too cute!
Olivia L says
LOL. I’d be one proud mama! 😀
Rachel VD says
Haha! You’ve got to love the things that kids come up with 🙂 My three keep me laughing all the time!
Suzanne- Freebies 4 Canada says
Out of the mouths of babes! This reminds me of that old show ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things’.
Sharlene says
Neat idea. Funny how he can pick locks so young..lol
Julie A. says
Lol sounds like a mischief maker! I hope he only means the child-proof locks or those round doorknobs that get stuck.
