My Quotable Kid

I don’t know about your kid, but mine has said some pretty priceless stuff. “Lollies are my medicine”, “I just burped out of my bum”, 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 $US14.95.
