Parents: Recent cute/funny thing your kid/s said?

[Arugula Latte]

Here's mine. Last night my daughter suddenly got the stomach flu. I asked her if she was ready to get back in bed. She said: "No, I'm still throw upping."

"Throw upping." That killed me.

My son started throw upping this morning. :( 'Tis the season, I guess.

1. last week my kid and I had the "no Santa" discussion

I didn't want to have it, I just couldn't find a reasonable way around it and he seemed ready for it. He was bummed for a bit, but quickly got over it.

Later on, he was talking about the presents "Santa" would bring, complete with him making gestural quotation marks around the word Santa, it was hysterically funny. :silly:

2. Take him to this site.

It's cute.

4. My son does the air quotes as well.

Cracks me up every time.

[trof]

13. In our house, everyone still gets at least one gift from Santa.

We keep Christmas very well.
;-)

[qanda]

3. Not so cute, but true all the same

My 9 yods told me that he saw on the news that Bush was spying on us then he said, "I can't believe he wants to invade our privacy like that!" All I could say was I know son, I know.

[Karenina]

5. I spoke to my son

who has just returned home from immersion therapy in an Asian language and told him about the birthday party I attended Friday where there were conversations flying about the room in 4 languages. He quipped:

It's like the Tower of Babel except the damn thing actually got built to last.

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

10. Wow. That's a smart kid!

:thumbsup:

[Karenina]

12. When he was 3

I was advised by the medical community to institutionalize him, as in THEIR opinion he was retarded and would never be able to function. :rofl:

[yellowdogintexas]

6. at approx 18 months: "NEVER go to bed!" my daughter's first

sentence.

She was hell to get to sleep, always a nightowl, and this particular evening we had sent her to bed about 9 times.

She stomped out of her room, stood in the middle of the living room with her jammies and her blanket, shook her finger at us and shouted "Never go to BED!!!!!" , turned around and stomped off to her room.


Cracked us UP!

She is 21 now and still cracks us up.

on edit: sorry, not recent.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. "The next time you get pregnant, we should name the baby Murray"

"...like Murray Christmas."

My reply: "Sorry kiddo, I've done my time."

[Jed Dilligan]

8. This is me, and obviously not recent

5 years old, walking past a dive bar. "Daddy, why is it called happy hour when everyone looks so sad?"

[eyesroll]

22. From me, when I was 7 and we passed a strip club:

"Why are there only men coming out of the all-girl revue?"

(Said strip club was adjacent to the brothel my dad accidentally tried to check us into in Canada. "But it's AAA rated, dammit!")

[AlCzervik]

9. this from my 11 year old

"hola mama, deseo hablar español en el país"

she's going through spainish speaking phase.

[hippywife]

11. A couple of years ago

my then six year old niece went through the Taco Bell drive-thru with my mom. When they got up to the window she leaned across my mother and said "Hola" to the girl in the window and "Gracias" when they got their order.

When she was real little, her favorite sentence used to be a very forceful, "I not done yet!" when it was time to stop playing or to leave somewhere she was having a good time.

[Cats Against Frist]

14. Oh dear, I don't know where to start

He says, "re-rase" for "erase."

Calls granola bars "granilla bars."

Told me today that he thinks he wants to live at the South Pole, and be the Southern Hemisphere's answer to "Santa Claus."

He now has an imaginary friend named Mark, who studies "string theory, in college."

Told me, one time, when he was mad, that he was going to look me up in his "Butt Dictionary." I was horrified, but couldn't keep from laughing. He also accidentally says "damn," once in a while, and he tries to tell me that he's talking about "a BEAVER DAM, Mommy."

He's, for some reason, had some influence from some Victorian-era sources, and he says, in answer to whether or not he would like something: "I would quite like it, of course," or "I'd be quite delighted." And then, he's got the "Valley girl" thing going on. He'll say, "and I was *like* 'Miss B, Tyler just pushed me.'"

He's just turned four. He's an amazing kid -- has this imagination with which I cannot keep up. And this little prodigy will also come to me, and say, "is it OK to put a marker in your nose?"

OH -- and I forgot to say: I LOVED "throw-upping." That is just damn funny, and damn cute.

[Arugula Latte]

21. String theory? A four-year-old knows that?

:wow:

The Victorian stuff is quite charming, as well!

[trof]

15. "Cheeses Gracious"

Jack, my 3 year old grandson said that in response to a harrowing near miss in traffic the other day.

It was definitely "Cheeses", not Jesus.
He has no idea who Jesus is yet.

I guess he's heard "Jesus Christ!" and "goodness gracious".
Anyway, that's our new catchphrase.
;-)

[trof]

16. Oh...and "I'm sweet, but I'm not real bright."

His parents say that about the new Mastiff puppy.
Which is true.
About the puppy.

Jack is bright as a new penny, but he's picked up the phrase.

[Mizmoon]

17. mine wanted to pack his "babing suit"

in his "soup case".

Of course he's a teenager now.

[LeftyMom]

18. My then two year old son woke up at midnight again

I was in a real foul mood as I tried to convinve my head to leave the pillow it had come to rest on only an hour before. I'd had it with his odd hours and was probably about to say something I'd reget, when he leaved over with his face right up next to mine and said "Rawrrrr! I'm the midnight dinosaur, Mama!"

[ulysses]

24. *spits cocktail on screen*

"The midnight dinosaur"? :D

[mzteris]

19. my just turned 7 yo

was in the back seat while hubby and I were "discussing" Christmas presents. I'm very frugal, hubby's - er - not - so the discussion got a little loud.

He says a bit sarcastically, "let me get this straight, you want mittens and socks and pajamas for Christmas?!? Anything else exciting?"

And the 7 yo pipes up deadpan from the back seat, "a new husband. . ."

:rofl:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

29. ...

:rofl::rofl:

That is hysterical!

[evlbstrd]

20. My daughter told me what she wants to do for her 21st birthday.

She wants to start at Hooter's, where she'll wear a very tight top and put the Hooters girls to shame. I told her not to tell her dad stuff like that. Surprise me.

[seemunkee]

23. My 16 year old

yesterday after getting off the phone with a friend. "Why does everything have to be so fucking complicated."
She's usually pretty reserved.

[ulysses]

25. "I believe I will have another bottle or two, thanks."

Ok, that's what he *wanted* to say.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. From the triplets.....who are 5.

Girl triplet wanted her mother to help her make her bed, but my niece
had an armful of dirty clothes to put in the machine so she
said she'd help her later. This launched girl triplet into a tantrum
that (at the time I talked to my niece) had been going on for
15 minutes. That is 15 minutes of screaming and loud
moaning.

Boy triplet # 1 kept shaking his head and saying that 5-year-olds
don't act like this. Boy triplet # 2 tried to help and was literally
pushed away.

Eventually, my niece did to go help girl triplet (and have a little
talking to) in the interest of shutting her up and not pissing
the rest of them off anymore.

[AwakeAtLast]

27. For my almost 4 y/o daughter: icicles are "ice picks"

I think she's a genius, but I'm biased :D

[bertha katzenengel]

28. Can I add something I said to my cat on Friday night?

Daddy, get off the pizza.

He was sitting on top of the closed pizza box, with the pizza we were still eating inside.

It was warm.

Cats.

[MountainLaurel]

30. I can so see that happening

We have an electric mattress pad with a heating unit (actually, with two: each side of the bed is on separate controls), and if we forget to turn it off in the morning, we'll find Cali sleeping on that side in the evening when we get home. And then there's my desk, a marble table that sits next to the heating vent. It gets nice and toasty, and she's decided that on top of my desk is where she needs to sleep. Except there's a whole lotta other crap on there that frequently gets knocked off. (Putting it in the reach of the pup.)

32. When my son was 5, we were driving by the court house one

evening , and he asked me what the building was, I said , Court House. Some lights were on in the building, and my son said, " looks like they are cotin tonight".He was such a funny kid.

[DesEtoiles]

31. "I can't shut up! I'm still talking!"
