The Things Kids Say

[pam]

About 10 years ago we took a family vacation. We were driving through Arizona and my son (then 7 noticed cactus growing everywhere. Everywhere he looked that's what he saw. Anyway we passed a little memorial set up along the side of the freeway...he asked about it and I explained that someone had died and his family was remembering him/her. He said okay...we drove several miles down the road and my son said...."Mom...I think that person was killed by a cactus."

Maybe you had to have been there but it was hilarious at the time. hahahaha

Daughter: "That's what it says on the bottom of my shoe."

Me: "Read me exactly what the bottom of your shoe says."

Daughter: "All Man-Made In China."


I then had to explain what man-made meant.

If your children were my niece and nephew I would be blogging constantly, just to make sure that I captured the things they said and did.

They are a hoot- Grits. NOT Heathens, Hoots!

Once when my best friends daughter came in from playing, all she had on was her panties. We asked her where her clothes were and she just lifted her chin up and huffed at us. She was about 5 at the time.

I told her she better go get her clothes and get in here so I can wash you down and bring some order to your fly away hair - again she lifted her chin and me and harrumphed. I put my hands on my hips and asked her in a stern voice: Did you hear me you little rag a muffin? Her eyes got hugh and she ran into the other room yelling at her mom- Auntie called me a ragged mutton, and she said I had flieshair - I DO NOT have flieshair. Mommy, whats flieshair anyway?

A few weeks ago was our eight-year-old son Justin's "Field Day" at school, where the students have a full day outside playing team games. Parents were welcome to attend. We had fun. Boy was I tired when we got home. But Justin kept on going... presumably also due to the excitement of the school year coming to an end.
Later that evening in the car, his dad inquired about field day at school. Justin was still full speed ahead and was more than happy to tell about the days events, talking at auctioneer speed along with the hand, arm and body motions of a kid who was excited and had a lot to tell.
Suddenly there was silence in the car. A quick look in the rear view mirror revealed Justin was reading the back of the sunscreen lotion bottle. We delighted in the silence for just a moment.
Then with enthusiasm, Justin blurted out from the back seat, "Ahhhh ha! I know why I am so hyper! They put ACTIVE ingredients in this sunscreen!"

we were watching a tv show that said something about a guardian angel and my son (4 yrs old) asked "what is a guardian angel?" i told him someone heavenly father sends to help you. he replied "daddy is my guardian angel!"

My daughter started calling having to go to the bathroom or pee, "peep." If some people call it "poop" then I guess "peep" will work for pee in her mind.

that's funny, my daughter (about to turn 3) says peep for pee too. lol

one of my favorites, all of mine have said it, "willn't" (will not)

The scene: In the car with my son, passing a construction site. The site's sign boasts, "Coming soon: Walgreen's!"

Mom: Another Walgreen's? They're everywhere!
Jake: Yeah, they're multiplying like rats.
Mom: Rabbits.
Jake: Mormons.

That kid doesn't miss a beat!

Here's one from Katie (12yo) just the other day... We were in the car and she was talking to her Daddy on the cell phone while he was on his way to the gym...She says, "Oh Daddy, you don't need to lose weight...you're not oh-beast!"

A while back I took my three kids ages 5, 3 and 18 months to the doctors for immunizations. The older two are boys and the youngest is my little girl. Anyhow, my 5 year old freaked out when it was his turn. (His little brother went first, but his sister was going last because she had a bundle of shots to receive.) He tried to hide under the chair, almost kicked the nurse....the embarrassing behavior we all dread. Suddenly, he says, "But mom, it's ladies first." The nurse just about dropped the shots she was laughing so hard.

I have been so busy these last few months, I have not been able to visit this site. Tonight I finally got some time. I really enjoyed all of these wonderful accounts and I've had a good chuckle too. Keep the stories coming.
