Funny things your kids say!

We went to a cottage with friends a few weeks ago and their dog was continually "making friends" with his bed, pretty obvious and somewhat gross after a while. We decided to distract the DS from it until he managed to walk in and see the dog madly gyrating..."awww mom that's so nice, the dog is hugging his pillow while he rubs his feet on the floor"

"I think I just threw up a little in my mouth."

Gross.

So DD#1 seems to finally (fingers & toes crossed) get the potty training thing. Affter doing #2 in the potty she yells out in such a proud and happy voice: " Mommy mommy I peed a turd!"

That's hilarious! (all of them but peed a turd is GREAT!)

This past week after numerous "No, No, No, NO" discussions with my beloved toddler, he looked at my mother and stuck his fingers in his ears and said, "momma, my ears are too tight."

I guess he'd heard "no" once too many times!

DS rarely has sweets or chocolate, he occasionly has a muffin my mum bakes (this is not by choice, he just doesn't like sweet stuff and prefers fruit lon may it last!!) anyway, he asked my mum for a cake and my mum gave him a chocolate chip mini muffin she had bought and he came running into the kitchen cry ' there's ladybirds in my cake' (all insects are ladybirds to him!)

Also today I was sitting him on the naughty step and telling him why we must not stick our tongues out, and in a whiney voice and tears he said ' but mummy I'm the best boy in the house' (my aunt calls him that) I could help but laugh and hug him.

A couple of weeks ago, DS #2 (8) was studying for a social studies test. One of his vocabulary words for the test was "ethnic group". DH was helping him study and was attempting to re-define ethnic group in terms that Joel could understand, because it was apparent that the glossary definition meant nothing to him. So, after a long explanation of ethnic groups, Joel says "So, we're African-American, right?" Back to the drawing board for DH.......

The weird thing is that my boys' school is fairly diverse, especially for a private school, but the kids (at least the younger ones) really seem to be pretty color blind, which is great!

I was in the car with Aidan and he was getting restless, so I had him start listing family members (don't ask me why ) I said "Aidan, who are your brothers? So he said "Andrew and Alex"...Who are your sisters? "Finny and Zoe" Who are your grandmas? "Oma and Grammy tootin' booty"

Out of the mouths of babes I, of course, had to call my mom and tell her what he said. She was mortified.
