With the stubborn troll roaming the site, I figure we need a good chuckle - something to brighten the day (although some of your responses to the troll's questions were hilarious and really creative!).
My husband recently asked our 2.5 year old daughter if she was hungry. She said, "no, I'm just [her name]." Lol.
Also, she's really into princesses these days (especially Elsa). I recently took her to my office because I had to pick something up. It's a big, tall building. As we approached the underground parking entrance, she said, "are we going into this castle?"
She also says that she wants a "grabola" bar when she wants a granola bar. I find her mispronunciations so cute! I'll be so sad when she gets older and this phase ends up being a distant memory.
Has your child said anything cute, funny, or interesting that could've only come from a child?
I was driving my then 4th grade daughter to school one day when she asked me to explain the definition of "virgin". She already knew what sex was because we have talked about that for years. Therefore, I went on to explain the word. After I gave my explanation she said "Mom, I was talking about olive oil"
I have a good one:
Last weekend my 2.5 year old woke me up from a nap and said "It's not sleep time Momma." I replied "I just needed catch-up sleep." He said "Oh! OK." then walked away.
A minute later he came back and handed me a bottle of Ketchup, and tucked in under the blanket next to me. lol.
We were at a restaurant. My youngest son, age 3, newly potty trained wanted to go to the bathroom by himself (so we let him go (wink-wink)). He went in and did his duty and came back out and pronounced to everyone:
"I just went poop and wiped my cute. little. butt!"
When my daughter was little if she did not like something she had to wear she would say "oh mom it is just too big small"
Everything was just to big small. It was funny.
Many blessings
I'm pregnant right now, and my 4yo is ecstatic. One night I was tucking her in to bed and my stomach was just being super rumbly. She kept giggling and I asked her if my rumbly tummy was funny... She replied with, "Maybe the baby is snoring in there!" Lol.
When my kids were little one of them called granola bars "ogre bars". They both called chocolate milk "bunny milk" because the Nestle Quick comes in a bunny shaped bottle. Grandma lived in a very ornate, historic apartment building and they called it "Grandma's Castle". One of them thought the lyrics to "Oh Canada" were "Our home is made of land..." instead of "Our home and native land..."
Hubby to 3 year old granddaughter.
"Thank you dear".
Granddaughter to hubby.
"I no deer! I a girl"!
If someone gets hurt, the vehicle that takes them to the hospital is the "amba-lamps". The life flight vehicle is a "hoppa-cow-ah".
My kid misunderstood "On your mark, get set" so he said "On your market, get started."
The things on chimneys to keep out squirrels and raccoons are "Santa Caps" used by families who don't celebrate Christmas to signal Santa to pass on by.
One night my husband was all stressed and we were trying to get our son calmed down for bed. Our son called out, "RAX (for "relax") Daddy!" We still say this when my husband is too revved up.
Our son was really late in the potty training department. I finally told my very modest husband he absolutely HAD to take our child into the bathroom to show him how big boys pee. From behind the closed door, I heard "WOW! A WATERFALL!" We still quote that one when we're on a nature walk and find a little waterfall.
Be sure to write all these things down in a journal or a baby book - they're really fun to read years from now and to share with your child!
Well, for my son--3 1/2 now, it is herercomper. He will tell you that if it is light out, it is time to get up. This morning, he wanted some help turning on Netflix (recently cut the cable cord temporarily) and when I asked him didn;t he want to go back to bed for a little bit, he looked at me like I was nuts. Told me to look at the window. It is light out mommy, like I could not possibly have figured that one out. When I told him I needed to get tdressed for work, he asked if he could come with me. I told him no so he told me he will just stay and watch daddy break the kitchen.
Our kitchen sink pipe broke and he is taking it apart.
Oh, the other day my son looked in the bathroom mirror and said he has chocolate eyes. His eyes are brown. And he also calls chocolate or strawberry milk bunny milk.
My favorite was when mine were young enough for those adorable mispronunciations was what one of my kids named his favorite lovey, a small stuffed blue dog - Boo Gog.
We still have Boo Gog, but he doesn't get as much attention these days.
I love questions like this! :D
My son, the other day, had the front door open and his Nurf gun pointing out and making shooting noises toward the passing cars and the car that was leaving our house. I told him "Hey, don't be aiming at cars and shooting!". He turned around and matter-of-factly informed me, "Don't worry, it's not loaded!" hahaha 6 year old boys! I tell ya.
Oh, and my oldest daughter could not whistle, so she would say, "Shwish Shwoo"!
Thanks for lightening the mood!
My new 2 year old put her hands on her forhead yesterday and said, "oh no, R is crying again." It was hilarious. My son was having an emotional 5 year old day, and it was the third time he was crying in a few hours.
My 2 yr old granddaughter loved to watch boo tube on her pie pad.
My 5 year old just told me that one of his kindergarten friends told him today that her dad smokes. On the grill. He told it with perfect timing!
When my daughter was 2 we drove by a local athletic field where they play cricket. A group of guys were on the field stretching and were on their backs with legs up in the air. Our daughter said, "Look Mom! All those guys are waiting to get their diapers changed."
One of my students told me during our small group that her birthday was on Sunday and she was turning 8. I told her happy birthday. She said, "Thanks! Can we discuss training bras now?"
One of my 5th grade groups was reading about mummies and one of the paragraphs was describing how they would insert a hook through the nose and then pull the brains out through the nose. The two boys in the group were saying how disgusting that was. The one girl in the group piped up with, "That's not disgusting. Family life class is disgusting! Haven't you guys been listening during family life classes? That stuff is just gross!" (Our 5th grade health curriculum covers puberty.)
My four year old has become a backseat driver. He checks my spedometer and tells me if I'm beyond the limit. He also asked hubs if the headlights were on because the windshield wipers were running.
Best,
F. B.
When DS was about 3 he suddenly started yelling 'Gringo, gringo'. Huh? where had he heard that? Um, it was 'green go' at the traffic light.
When mine was about four, she was having one of those days when absolutely nothing went right. She was getting crankier by the minute, and so was I. She said, "I wish we could have a brand new day."
So we curled up together in my bed, and pretended to sleep for a minute, snoring loudly. Then we got up and started the day over.
From then on, when we had a bad day, she would ask for a brand new day, and we would snore loudly a couple of times and start over.
When my daughter turned 3 some good friends gave her a little stuffed bunny. She promptly named him Poo Poo Bunny. We asked her why and she said it is because he goes poo a lot in his diaper. To this day she loves to play with Poo Poo Bunny. Her brother (age 11) told me recently he just loves that name and it cracks him up.
My oldest used to say "No I Emmit" which was his way of saying,
No I am Not. It got passed down to the younger two siblings, Loved it!!
Another time I told him he could come outside in his bare feet...
After looking down at his feet awhile he said "But I don't want to have Bear Feet, with the hair"! LOL!
My kids still think we eat "Pop Stickers" at the Chinese food place...
& my daughter couldn't say sushi..it was "snooshi", hubby & I still call it that.
My favorite had to be when she finished all her dinner and I surprised her with ice cream and she hugged me and said "mama you're the best!" (She will be 3 this summer) or when she says that deedee(our dog) and Mema (my mom) are her best friends! She also says that she is mamas baby and daddy's princess, well "pincess" and exactly that, Only daddy can call her princess and only I can call her my baby
It's also really cute that instead of spit she would say pit.. Our dog drools and she will say ew mama I have deedee pit on me I need a wipe! Or we were in the car and it was drizzling out and I had my window slightly open and didn't realize the rain was getting in and going right back on her and all of a sudden she yells "mama wil you stop pitting on me!?" She likes to play doctor and says hostable instead of hospital .. And I miss when she first started talking around a year old one of her favorite words was stuck, everything was stuck or she was always stuck but she said "tuck" and for some reason she calls the smaller airplanes two-planes and one day I asked why and she said because of the two wings n I said but the big planes have two wings and she goes yeah but they're bigger only the little ones are two-planes
