The Things Kids Say

[Canuck Mormon]

<div class='quotemain'>
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

LOL thatisfunny!!!

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!

This one isn't about my child but my naive mother. If you are easily offended skip it. Sorry if I offend anyone by accident.

She had received a Christmas gift, from my father, of a foot massager. She was very excited and exclaimed "Oh good, a vibrator"

The five of us children burst into laughter, but we couldn't tell her why. She had NO idea.

LOL!! The things parents/grandparents say should be a thread on here...

My dad, upon hearing that the use of Cannabis for such painful conditions as arthritis had become legal, went into our local Boots Chemist shop and asked one of the staff if they sold it? LOL..

I think he would have been better off asking one of his grandchildren where they got it from at the time!!!

This is one of my fondest memories when Nick was small.

Nick must have been three or four when I was bringing him home from pre-school we drove by a cemetary. The cemetary was beautiful covered with flowers because it was close to Memorial Day. Nick studied the cemetary for a minute for asking "mom, that is where they bury dead people, right?" I said "Yes hunny it is". I could see he was processing it and they rather quietly asked, "But how do they turn into FLOWERS"?

Oh, how I love the sweet innocence of a child.


BTW bh82, I hope your Nic brings as much love and joy into your home as our Nick has. Also, Welcome To LDS Talk

Today my 4 yr old went to two different museums in our city with his grandmother (my MIL), his aunt (my SIL), and 4 cousins... all of these relatives are LDS. He saw the huge dinosaur skeleton and loudly proclaimed, "HOLY SH#%!"

They were not impressed. Interesting that I've never heard that word come out of his mouth before... not quite sure where he got it. Of course he HAD to save that one for our LDS family!

Sweet innocence???

JK, my child is sweet as can be, and of course innocent. He just heard something he shouldn't have... probably from his dad who tries, but obviously not hard enough!

I can't believe I forgot about this.

When my daughter was four, she had a crush on the neighbor boy three doors down, who was also four and so adorable I'm sure he's a heartbreaker today.

Anyway, we were sitting together on the couch talking about him, and I asked her if she was going to marry him.

She said, "Isn't that up to you?"

I said, "Yes. Yes it is."

I still tell her it's up to me, but she doesn't listen to me anymore.

Heh heh...that's really funny Elphie.

On the topic of crushes....
My four year old daughter has a crush on Samuel the Lamanite at the moment.
She's been watching a DVD we received as a Christmas gift.

The crush must have well and truely entered her imagination...
She had a dream the other night that Samuel the Lamanite, his father and brother all came to visit her in her bedroom.
I asked her what he said.
Her response:

"He asked me to be his wife."
"So I'm not gonna marry Daddy anymore...
I'm gonna marry Samuel the Lamanite when I grow up."

I'll have to remind her of that when she is 21!!!

Jaime,

I remembered this story in sacrament meeting last Sunday.
Have to say that I got a fit of the giggles.

Thanks for sharing....Onyx

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!!

When she was 3, my daughter had a massive crush on Brian May, guitarist with Queen. I was watching various Queen videos at that time and she 1st seemed to notice Brian whilst he was performing a song called Dragon Attack...afterwards she used to point to him and say Dragon and she carried the inner sleeve of an album of theirs everywhere she went, even to nursery school, because it had a photo of her beloved on it...ahhhhh

Awwwww, Pushka, please give your "baby" a from me for that one. The thought of a little three-year-old carrying the inner sleeve of an album cover every where just tugs at my heart strings.

Did you take a photo of her with it? I really hope so!
