Kids say...

Re: Kids say...

I LOVE it! Just a warning, not all teachers appreciate sarcastic kids. We happen to love them. Tell your ds to keep it up.

Not everyone can appreciate great humor. Their loss.

That bit about 7 fingers being enough cracks me up.

A few days ago, Bryn met one of our neighbors at school when she was picking up her kids. I didn't realize Bryn hadn't met her. Neighbor tells Bryn -- I know your mom, she saved my life the other day! (Not really, I fixed an Excel spreadsheet for her). The Bryn says --- I know, my mom is so smart! She is smarter than my dad even though he is older.

Re: Kids say...

I'm guessing she had a t-shirt made with that on it for Eric for Christmas.

This morning (in my bed) Quinn says "Mom! You're on Stitch's head!" (he sleeps w/a stuffed Stitch doll)
I said "Sorry Stitch"
Quinn said "Stitch isn't real mom. If someone put a spell on him and then he could talk he'd be real, but now he's not real."

Re: Kids say...

A t-shirt, great idea!

A few days ago she was riding in his car and he put on a Eurythmics (gah, sp?) CD and she said, "NOW this feels like a sports car."

Re: Kids say...

Nikolai told me that he had a frog in his throat. and it was a boy frog because the pecker was stuck...

and then yesterday he told me that Jack (my nephew) was having a boy baby (my SIL is pregnant) and the baby's name is "No-no".

(Jack meanwhile announced that he has a baby in his tummy and it's Bob the Builder)

Re: Kids say...

I asked my DD2 if she was cold.

She carefully sniffed each of her armpits, then said, "no."

Re: Kids say...

That's when you wonder what the rest of her thought process was!

Ds1 on his way drifting to sleep, "Before I was born I thought I died, but I just wasn't born yet. How silly of me."

Re: Kids say...

She said she saw Patrick do it on Spongebob.

This is along the lines of what your son said...
When my dd1 was very young (2-3 years) she would often say "When I was still at God..." - meaning before she was born. I never knew where she got that from, not from us.

One of my new faves: "Daddy, people aren't supposed to leave children in the bathtub by themselves." Said to Sam when he stepped into the hallway to get a towel for Natalie.

Re: Kids say...

Not really a 'say'...but more a writing.

So, our 8yo brings home some work from school. The writing assignment was 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'
Here it is, typed in verbatim...

'When I grow up, I want to be a Dad. Mostly because they get to watch lots of football and play with his son's DS.'


Lovely...there was a nice note from the teacher attached to it. I am sure that she probably choked on her lunch a little from laughing.
I rarely play with the DS...I do use it as leverage though to motivate this kid to clean his room.
It is so nice to be noticed for all the right reasons!

Re: Kids say...

DS has some doozies but this is my favorite!

When he was about 3 we had a few days of some terrific lightening storms. We were leaving the house and making a dash for the garage.

Me: Let's go quickly so we don't get too wet.
DS: Why don't we use an umbrella.
Me: Because of the lightening. It is electricity and we could get hurt if we use an umbrella during a lightening storm.

He paused for a few minutes, the wheels obviously turning rapidly.

DS: If lightening is electricity, why do we need power plants?



The other day (now 5) I made homemade fettuccini alfredo. He looked at me and said "This is awesome, Mom! Can you make it again soon?"

Re: Kids say...

Luke- 3.5 years old asked me why Jesus Cried?

I thought that's a strange story for the preschool to tell-- I was thinking where Jesus Wept when Lazarus died...

But, later it made sense b/c Luke wanted me to sing "Go tell it on the mountain" with him, and he sang out:

go tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
go tell it on the mountain,
that Jesus Cried a Lot.

Re: Kids say...

When I was planning my wedding, I wanted to ask my cousin's son to be my ring "bear"...I had already asked her to be my MOH, so, besides being the cutest, best behaved choco-holic 4 yo, i thought that having his mom up at the front of the church would give him someone to walk to...

On the phone with Ty
Me: Hi Ty, it's Jenny.
Ty: Hi.
Meid your mom tell you that I'm getting married?
Ty: Yea, cool!
Me: I was wondering if you would want to be in the wedding?
Ty: No (turning to his mom) Are you going to be there? (she said yes) (back to me) Then OOOOOOOOOO-Kay!

He was super cute...we have a picture of him standing with all of the groomsmen with his hands in his pockets trying to "be one of the guys". He also had a HUGE Hershey bar waiting with his dad and brother if he "walked like a good boy"

Re: Kids say...

Ella was doing something annoying and DH repeatedly asked her to stop. By the third time, he raised his voice and said, "Stop!, I am asking you nicely." Ella responded, "That wasn't very nicely."
