The Things Kids Say

[Wingnut]

Wow...I'm not sure how I hadn't noticed this thread yet! I was almost 12 by the time my little brother was born, so by the time he was old enough to say funny things, my sister and I started recording them, much to his chagrin (but Mom told us to!). A few:
*****
I realized I need to check my road rage when I was driving my brother somewhere, and from the backseat I heard "Move it or lose it buddy! Get out of the way!"
*****
Mom had to run into a store for a few minutes, and left the three of us out in the car (right in front of the store where she could see us) (you can't do that anymore...it's "abuse"). Once she was gone, my little brother said "Great! Now we're gonna kill each other!" I have no idea where it came from.
*****
In sharing time: "What do you have to do to get to the Celestial Kingdom?" My brother: "YOU HAVE TO DIE!"
*****
My dad and all three of us kids have brown eyes, while my mom has hazel eyes (mine have lightened a little over the years, but still dominantly brown). Sitting on my mom's lap one day, my brother said "Mom, how'd you get to be in this family?" "What do you mean?" she asked. "Well, we all have brown eyes, but yours are green, so how'd you get to be in this family?" (Pretty astute observation for only four years old or so.)
*****
A friend of mine had a brother on a mission. The friend's family always sat behind us in Sacrament meeting. The brother was on his mission when we moved into the ward, so we never knew him before he left. When people asked him how tall he was, he always said "six foot seven and three quarters!" He was tall, but also big. His first Sunday home from his mission, my three year old brother kept staring at him. Couldn't take his eyes off him. Finally, sometime during a quiet part of Sacrament meeting, my brother says "Mom, who's that guy that's Ryan's brother? His nostrils are GIBONGOID!" Did I mention that this was the Bishop's family?
*****
As my dad tried to teach my brother about the Priesthood, and the different offices of the Aaronic Priesthood, my brother was apparently overwhelmed. He learned that the deacons pass the Sacrament, the teachers prepare it, and the priests bless it. He repeated back, "Deacons and teachers and priests!" My mom and sister and I responded in unison, "Oh my!"

ohmygoshyouguys! I was driving my daughter and her friend back to said friends house after a very exciting trip to the movies to see Twilight this weekend. Regina (Katie's friend) had a GREAT story to tell. BTW, these girls are 12 & 13. So, Regina was driving with her grandpa and somebody "flicked him off". So he responded in kind. And Gina thought he was flicking her off so she yelled at him. hahahahaha!! Flicked her off!!! tee hee...so cute!!

Ain't that the truth! (Just kidding to all you non-wicked stepmothers out there!)

My 2nd-grader's math homework was all about the number 13. It shared lore of 13, asked her to add to thirteen...

The last question was, "Can you think of three identical numbers that add up to 13? Explain your answer."

Her carefully-printed response:



Yes. 4⅓.

My daughter found a picture of my niece the other day and she brought it out and asked, "I this me when I'm older?"

My 4 year old daughter is watching the Canadian geese on the pond across the street thru her bedroom window. She can also see the neighbor's bedroom from there. She yells: "Mom...Anna is fighting again with her husband....and they ripped they clothes off...hurry before some bad happens.."

The window and blinds are drwan permanently now, as you can imagine.

my daughter (3yrs) said the bedtime prayer tonight and she said, "bless everyone in the whole world except the giants and monsters"

My three year old daughter shouted from the sofa... "Look!! There are hairs on my legs! That means I'm growing up to be like daddy!" haha

Today, my 8-year-old daughter asked about her brother.

"Does Jacob have the Ironic Priesthood?"
