kids and the things they do/say

my son broke his right arm on saturday, he said he didnt realisie the boucny castle was that bouncy!!! anyway last night he was moaning that his arm was hurting, i said " have you knock it"? he said no, but admitted he had spent about 10 mins trying to get the cast off!!! that boy did not inherit the silly genes from me!!!
 
I wished I wrote down everything my daughte said and did, she made me laugh, her volcabulary was amazing at 4 years old, sounded like an old woman lol. You think you will remember but you don't. She still makes me laugh and she is 22 and in University now. So write things down, worth it!
 
My oldest niece is 6 now, and a few years ago she found a caterpillar and it was walking around on her hand. She looked at it very contemplatively, and then she turned to me and said very seriously, "Do you think he thinks I'm a genius?" ("He" being the caterpillar.) It was such an odd question and I didn't have an answer! Another funny thing my niece used to do was she'd confuse pine cones and pineapples. So she'd find a pine cone in the yard and show me the neat "pineapple" that she found. :)
 
When my cousins were small (he was about 4and she was about2) they were helping their dad find worms for fishing. The funny thing was, however many they found the bucket just wasn't filling up. Then my uncle turned round just in time to see the little one pick a worm out the bucket, and swallow it whole! Apoarantly it 'wiggled all the way down'!
 
Oh my gosh, my little brother and sister are always doing and saying the funniet things. They're better than TV sometimes! One of the things they like to do every time I see them is sing a bunch of songs off the Disney Channel, with them being more geared towards the Camp Rock songs. It's hilarious.
 
My son Jordan who is now 16 said once
'I'm so glad my middle name isn't Isobel'
Oh how we laughed!
 
This past weekend at my birthday party, I got a balloon that plays the Chicken
Dance (anyone that's been to a wedding in the past 10 years knows this song!). My step-daughter was sooooo cute at the party showing everyone how to do the proper dance....picture a 4 year old jumping up and down and then sticking her bum out and shaking her money maker....lol. It was the cutest thing ever. Her 10 year old brother took video...if I can figure out how to upload it here, I will. lol
 
When my daughter was about 4 years old (she's 32 now), she patiently watched me remove my make-up one day then she said "Mummy, you look so young without make-up on.." I was beyond pleased until she continued "...just not pretty."
 
I phoned my five-year old niece and said to her, "I haven't talked to you in ages and I've been really thinking about you. I've missed you." She replies that her mom won't let her call me. I was taken aback, so I said to her, "Why won't mummy let you call me?" So she's quiet for a minute, and then says, "Actually, I haven't missed you because I didn't think about you, so that's why I haven't called you."

I'm slowly learning that with kids, you gotta have a thicker skin!
 
My niece (4) says to me on the phone the other day, "I love you more than candy." I definitely thought this was a pretty high compliment! :)
 
We had gone to a special event and I was talking to two of my girlfriends,. One of them was asking if her dress made her look fat, when we noticed the 5 year old son of my other friend studying her closely. When his mom asked what he was looking at, he looked at the other lady and said, "I don't think it's the dress!" We laughed til we cried!

Oh dear, I hope this is appropriate!

OK, so for the Mum's out there, you all know what it's like when you have toddlers and you can never go to the toilet without them honing in on that fact in two seconds flat. You end up spending your life going with the toilet door open just to prevent that ear piercing screech.

So one day I'm on the loo minding my own business with the door open and I didn't realise my son was watching intently as I inserted a tampon. His words to me when I looked up were "Where did that go. How did you make it go away"!!!!
 
:mbh: That's so funny Dusty. Whe I was working in a Biology lesson (Sex Education) with 15 years old and the teacher was discussing STDs, a girl called me over and said, "Miss I think I've had gonorrhea, I got in on holiday eating a dodgy burger!" I whispered do you mean diarrhea and she laughed and said oh yeah!!!!:ywow:

Now that is just priceless:biggrin:
 
Ok this is a tad long but funny! Keep in mind this is based on a true story and the 16 boy has mild down sydrome.

This lady's son was never left home alone before and she decided to try and let him be independent. She gave him her work number and to call anytime.

Was about an hour into her job and her son calls. Mom there is a hobbit in the house, but everything is ok. She asks him if everything is ok, and he says yes.

About half hour later, he calls and says Mom there is a hobbit in the house but dont worry I have taken care of it. She is assured and by this time has no idea what a hobbit is. Figures a stuffed toy rabbit on the floor..

Another half hour, her son phones again Mom, the hobbit is still in the house but I took care of it and put it away... by this time the lady's boss says I think you better go home and find out what is going on.

She gets home and says where is this hobbit? In front of a closet he puts stuff and furniture in front of it so it cant get out. She opens the door and couldnt believe it , a man, who is a midget was in the closet!!! Apparently he was a Jehovah's witness and he got his way in the house and he picked him up and put him in the closet because he thought it was a hobbit!!!

Well the mom just about died laughing.... we still to this day have no idea if the man pressed any charges. You cant make this up but when I heard the story I was almost roaring with laughter!:biggrin:
 
When my daughter was 2.5 yrs old (now 9) i got cross with her about something, grandma said to her "you've burnt your bridges now......", to which my grumpy daughter replied with arms crossed and face set, "they're my bridges"!!!:ylol:
 
I like the "the're my bridges" comment. That is some quick wit there!

My brother and myself were taking down a large tent that was used for my niece's wedding. It was likely to rain so I wanted to get it put away before the rain came. The family was busy with pictures and all of that stuff.

My two young nephews and some other children were helping us, and they were doing a pretty good job at it.

Today my wife told me what one of my nephews said about me, apparently he was impressed with management with the whole tent thing.

He said "if there was a magazine for women, uncle Dan should be on the cover".

I have no idea what prompted that odd statement, but I am taking the ball and running with it. I told my wife she should really feel lucky to be married to such a super star. She does not seem to be quite as impressed as the Nephew.

My fan club of one.

When my son was young, he noticed a large hole in the ground, in the woods by our house. I told him it was probably a Badger hole.

I jokingly told him that he could stick his head down there and see if it was in the hole. I said Badgers are not that fast. He promptly told me that " I am not that fast either dad". He never did go near that hole after that.

Since then when he is slow to do something, I always tell him that he is moving slower than a Badger. It is a family joke now, even though he is an adult.

So I have this hell-on-wheels almost 3 yr old boy who from the time he was 10 months has just been into one thing after another. Not bad, per se, just BUSY! Boys, right? Anyway, one morning about a year ago, I was particularly stressed out about the 50 things he had already managed to mangle/destroy/etc and was (I thought) rhetorically venting to myself. My daughter, who was 3 at the time, was sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal or something, and says very matter-of-factly, "We have GOT to get RID of that kid."
I thought I was going to die I laughed so hard.

My daughter is 2 and this morning when she fell over she came over to me and said 'Mummy, I fell over, I hurt my beak!' She does know her nose is called a nose but when she hurts it she has this funny quirk where she calls it her beak LOL!

The other day my husband and i were talking about the new wii console saying have you seen the new black wii etc...
The next time my daughter used the potty she said 'Mummy, I done a black wee!!' :lol2:
 
When my niece, Rowan, was 9 & over visiting one time she noticed that I had just gotten my hair cut short into a bob and colored with high lights. She told me that I looked hip and it made me look 10 yrs. younger and to stick with that style. She made my day. From then on, whenever I'd get a cut and color, I'd email her my photo and she'd call and tell me that she loves the look and I'm still younger looker than Uncle Phil.

I told her when she's 16 I'm taking her on a shopping spree on her uncle's dime. :D

Another time, I was at my folks w/my 3 yr. niece, Carolyn. She noticed I was wearing TED stockings due to a DVT in my right leg. She asked why I couldn't run around & play w/her so I had to explain to her that Aunt Lisa had a boo boo in her leg & had to stay off of her feet & take medicine until it got better. So she went up to my leg and gave it a kiss. I was surprised at what she did so I asked her why she did that. Her reply was "To make the boo boo all better!!" My heart just melted. Needless to say when she talked to my mom or sister every day she'd asked if my boo boo was all better and they would tell her that it takes time. Well, after 3 whole months, my DVT finally cleared up so I cld Carolynn at home and told her the great news. Then I heard her yell on the other end, "SEE MOMMY, I TOLD YOU MY KISS WOULD MAKE AUNT LISA'S BOO BOO GO AWAY!!" PRICELESS!!! Now if her kisses would just cure this darn Crohn's we'd be in business. lol
 
I went into Asda this evening and the guy with his daughter that was parked next to me let me get out of my car first, he started laughing and said 'You know you've just got my daughters approval... She just said to me "Can that lady be my new mummy? She looks like she'd be a nice mummy" She was so adorable! lol

awwww........ :hug:

I was in the grocery store one day after work, so I was still in uniform...a lady asked me if I was a police officer, and when I responded no, I am a fire marshal, the young girl (granddaughter?) with her ran over to me and gave me a great big hug.....said she does that to all fire/police she meets as a 'thank you'.....really made my day!
 
Aww that's so sweet and really cool, I dunno maybe it's just me but it seems in America there is a hellova lot more respect for people in the armed forces and emergency services
