The Things Kids Say

[siouxz72]

ok...I've got two more...

I already told the one about Katie and the big T's outside the "turch", right?

So this one happened within the last year as we were driving to church. My son asked me what some signs of the apocalypse are. His little sister (who's 11 mind you) pipes up with.. "Oh! I know! That's when the moon covers the sun!!!" ... close Katie. so close!

This one also happened while driving..I must spend my whole life in the car!! ... Well, as we were leaving church when son was in 1st grade and oldest was in 3rd he told me he couldn't remember why he didn't have school the next day and wanted to know which holiday it was. Before I could even really process what he was saying my know-it-all oldest says with such authority in her voice... "duh! It's Martha Stewart Living Day!" I almost crashed and then had to clarify... not Martha Stewart Living Day,honey, but rather Martin Luther King Jr. Day.... yeah. we were watching WAY too much Martha!!

We were teaching our son the difference between "needs" and "wants".

We explained the normal things like needs are things that we are required to have to function in daily life...(food, water, shelter) things like that.

Wants were things above and beyond the necessities of life.

He came to me a few days later and explained..."Dad, I need a want!"

How do you argue with that?

My son, who is 8, was learning how to say a blessing on the food. His first try came out:

"Heavenly Father, please bless the food that we may eat it in remembrance of the body of thy son, In the name of Jesus Christ Amen!"



He seemed so proud I couldn't burst into laughter and destroy his confidence. We have since corrected the prayer.

My2nd son was 4 when this happened. One morning very early in the morning, he came into my room and said GOOD MORNING MOMMY I'M AWAKE MAY I HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT. Mind you he was eating every 6 hours. so with out really waking up. I told him that his plate of food was in the refrigerator and I go back to sleep. A little while later he was back. I must have twitched or something because again he said GOOD MORNING MOMMY I'M AWAKE! may I watch some tv. I mumbled yes you may but keep the sound low till the rest of us wake up. I go back to sleep. A short while later he's back... again I must have twitched or something because again I hear 'GOOD MORNING MOMMY I'M AWAKE' Mommy the tv's not working right. its got one picture on it on all the channels and will only go BEEEEEEEEP. Mind you this was in Indiana in the 70's, no 24 hour broadcast. Well I this point I wake up (sort of) look around and it is still dark outside. I looked at the precious boy and said quietly The sun is not awake yet go back to bed. BUT MOMMY I'M AWAKE! I know son but you need to lay in your bed till the sun comes up. Now go back to bed. Later I called my MOM and apologized for waking her up at all hours of the night singing. She laughed at me and asked which one. MOTHERS go figure SHARON

I feel kind of left out bc my little ones aren't so little anymore they are 23, 20 and 18. So I will work with what I have.

I have always taught my children to be self reliant and so if you can't find something in the grocery store you ask. My hubby was craving some spicy crackers and so we sent our two youngest to go to the store and pick them up along with a few other things.

We couldn't actually remember the name of the crackers but we thought that they were called NIPS.

So Nick and his little sister went off to the store in search of these crackers and couldn't find them. Nick decided to approach a employee whom he thought might direct him to the crackers. He walked up to this employee and asked "Hey where are your NIPS' The employees mouth dropped at the same time his chin touched his chest and his eyes got huge. YES! He fortunately had asked a guy. The employee replied "where are my NIPS"? Nick said "yeah those crackers". The employees then showed him where the CHEESE NIPS were... LOL

Just days after we found out my wife was pregnant with our third child, my oldest climbed in bed with us over a bad dream. At about 5am, (he having no info about the new pregnancy) sat straight up and exclaimed that we should call our new baby brother, Nic. At that our of morning and under the extremely strange circumstances, neither my wife nor I could argue with his logic. Our third son, Nic is now pushing three and continues to bless our lives with his brothers and sister.

I have a friend in her late 60's who has two little grandsons (4 & 2).
She loves them dearly and spends as much time with them as possible.

She received a phone call from the oldest boy the other day.
He was extremely excited about some special news.
When he gets very excited, he gets tongue-tied.

He blurted out:
"Grannma Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy!"
"I'm gonna get a new bother!"

Tee hee hee

Ok, bear with me for this one...no offense meant to anyone..

When I separated from my husband, I arranged for an insurance broker to call at my house to arrange household insurance.

After sitting and explaining the ins and outs, the broker and I were just having general conversation, my son who was 5 at the time walked in and said to the male broker :Would you like to stroke my mum's Pword...for Cat!?

Well, the fella just didn't know what to say!! Good job he was a friend of ours...Danny had been referring to our pet cat Smudge...poor lad!
