Funny things your kids have said....

my goddaughter (who had recently turned 5), my boyfriend and i were playing a game of "guess the drawing" one day a few months ago. I was drawing the usual obvious things (ie. apple, banana, house, dog, etc.) and she said she wanted a turn. i gave her the pencil and she proceeded to draw a series of vertical and horizontal lines... i had no idea what she was drawing and after a few guesses i gave up.

i asked her what it was and she said - "it's scaffolding!"

what in the world!! lol :)
 
A buddy at work's kid went to the supermarket with his granny, and while shopping along the aisles he picked up a cucumber and put it against his crotch shouted as loud as he could :

"Look at me! Look at my big w***y!"


:D :eek:

My neice of almost 3 refused to call my brother Daddy, it was always Matt. She is incredibly stubborn but sometimes we could trick her into it and then she would realize what she did and get mad. All that changed when their next child was born a few months ago and now its Daddy.

I've always called my father by his first name, it's odd but It's a habbit I can't change.
 
Not something my kids say, but an anomoly. Why is it that my children can go to bed and stay asleep every night, except for the nights when momma is feeling......cuddly. :mad: :eek: :confused:

A few weeks ago we were going to make s'mores for a backyard camp fire, as I looked at the ingredients on the graham crackers, I told my husband that the graham crackers had trans fat in them and next time, I'll look in Trader Joes.

The next week my 3 year old says, "mommy, can I please have a trans fat cracker?"

My Mom AND Dad always make me look at the ingrediants to check if there is Trans Fats, Or hydroginated Oils.

Heheh, and they wake up at about 5 - 6 am every morning, except the day they start school. From then on, you have to drag them out of bed. :p

Hehe. Sage input on behalf of us who've been there, done that. And, when they're attending U, they'll call at 12:45 a.m. just to ask "zup?". :eek: :)
 
I'm 13, so no kids of my own, although when my little bro (who's 5) was just learning to talk, he would call a truck a fruck. When he said it fast, it'd come out as ****. Also, we're doing work on our house right now, and he heard one of the workers saying damn about something, and one night, after he spilled his milk, exclaimed, "Gull bammit!" Oy, he's the cutest (and also occasiononally most annoying) kid ever.
 
My contribution comes courtesy of my goddaughter (and niece) when she was about 19 months old. When asked who she was she would reply "I'm a little monster" or "I'm so bloody heavy". Seems that her mom was getting tired of carrying her around, and she was a bit of a terror :p .

Reading this thread makes me laugh, and realize what kids can pick up without their parents realizing/intending it to be that way.

How funny! Thanks, Lau!

Yesterday I was reading a big printed software manual and when I set it down on a desk it bumped the power button of an old Power Mac that is still sitting there (because I don't know what to do with it). It hasn't been powered on for at least 6 months, maybe more.

It booted and there as the desktop picture was a photo of Q Junior on the kitchen floor amidst all the pots and pans he took out of the kitchen cabinet. No matter how many brightly colored plastic toys you buy them, they'd still rather bang a metal pan with a wooden spoon!

Smart parents put kid-proof latches on dangerous drawers and cabinets but leave the rest for little minds and fingers to explore. Maybe that'll turn them into talented chefs later in life!

I used to open those "kid proof" latches in a few seconds:D

That's why we parents now have other tools at our disposal. Have you seen the magnetic latches? The door or drawer won't open even a crack without the magnetic key...

When my son was 3, his preschool went to a children's mass at a local church. We didn't really have any sort of organised relationship to any religion, and were curious to see how he would react to the nativity story.

When we had brought him home, we asked him about it. Apparently there was a life-sized creche, and he was near the back of the crowd of kids. He told us about the stable and the animals, and it became clear he thought Jesus was the donkey. Understandable, really, when you consider a 3-yr-old who had never heard a bible story, saw a stable, and heard the priest talking about Jesus being born in said stable.

We explained to him that Jesus actually was a baby boy, and he got really irritated. HE had been there, HE saw it, WE hadn't been there. Jesus was a donkey. We didn't know what we were talking about. We let it go, and it became a fun family story.

The next Christmas rolled around, he's almost 4, and I decided it was time to do something about this. Knowing he was really into action figures, I bought a small creche. In the store, I pointed two different ones out, and asked him to choose. He pointed at one, and when I asked why that one, he looked at me like I was an idiot and said "The other one doesn't have a donkey."

Home again, I unpacked it and set it up, as I explained the story of the nativity. I concluded by saying that some people believe the story is true, some don't, and some aren't sure, but regardless, it's a beautiful story and nice to think about at Christmas. I felt like mother of the year.

When I was finally finished (he sat attentively during my whole spiel), he asked, "Mamma, do we have any hay?" I was a bit startled, and said I might be able to find something that looked like hay. Why?

My son: "Jesus is hungry."

He didn't believe a word of it. :p
 
When my son was about 18 months old we were driving at night and he looked out the window and said "moon is boke" (broke). We looked at the moon and sure enough it was a half moon.

It is amazing what the kids actually see and remember. My son is now 25 years old, but I remember it just as if it was yesterday.

They just grow up too too fast!!!!
 
I love that nativity story, annk.

Reading back over this thread (and giggling to myself), I came across this post

My 6th grade sister thought "Pot" was "Pod," and once during a drug related dinner conversation she called it Pod in all seriousness. I almost shot chicken out of my nose.

and it reminded me of something. Me and my (younger) brother were playing Lego in his room one rainy Saturday afternoon, and whilst we were playing away we were chatting away to each other, and I think I was building a ship. My brother said "Laura, did you know that "ship" is a bad word?". I said something like "What, really? But people use it all the time". Adamant, he said "No, I heard someone at school say it and apparently "ship" is like a swear word". At this moment my dad was passing, and came storming in to us and shouted "Don't you dare say that. I never want to hear you use that word ever again!". He stormed back out and we looked at each other shaken and said "It must be a bad word then..."

I forget when we learnt the real word and could go back to saying "ship" in day to day conversation. :p
 
hahaha :D :D That is hilarious Lau!

My daughter who's 2, doesn't really understand how to describe grown-ups, so when she see's an old person she'll say grandma or grandpa, and a lot of times when she see's younger adults, she justs thinks they're mommies or daddies.

One Saturday, we were playing in the yard and my daughter who was sitting on my husband's lap looked at the mail truck coming up the street, pointed, and said "here comes daddy!":eek:
