Kids Say The Darndest Things.....
There was a guy on TV when I was a child.....Art Linkletter. He had a show which, I guess, was the predecessor to our Ellen DeGeneres show, et al.
Among other things, he would interview children....it was hysterical. Well...he wrote a book using the title of the thread. Kids DO say the cutest, funniest, oddest things.......so if You have "Kid Quotes"...this is the place! Have fun! |
In 1996, I was a middle school choral director....and I also worked with the elementary choirs which fed into my school.
When my daughter died, I got a whole BOX of letters from my students....and among those were letters from the 5th & 6th grade choirs....... One of those letters read: "Dear Mz. Hall, I'm so sorry your daughter pasted away." OMG........in the midst of all of that pain, came this touch of precious joy.....it still makes me smile and bring tears to my eyes at the same time. |
My differently abled daughter has a limited vocabulary.
However, she frequently tells B. ''I love you'' whilst completely ignoring me. It's a kind of game...she says it to Hym, I say, ''Hey, what about me?'', she grins, and then (usually) says ''I love you too.'' Anyway, the other day she did this for the about the tenth time in an hour or so so I said, ''Hey, what am I? Badger poo?'' (We get lots of badgers in our garden.) ''Noooooooo,'' she said, ''silly. Fox poo.'' (We also get lots of foxes.) And then she cracked up laughing. Okay, so it sounds silly, but coming from her - W/we didn't even know that she knew what a fox was, let alone that she was able to make a connnection between the two types of wild animal - it was magic.

I love that story.......<smile>

My son was a real pistol! When he was about 4 or 5 (?) we were getting groceries...in the check out isle he bumped into a frail little old lady..I said "watch what you're doin' honey"...this cute little old lady responded "Don't worry, he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head."... my little rascal, with his thick southern drawl and big ice-blue eyes, turned around to face her and promptly announced "But my Momma does! "

When my son was about 4 years old, we went into the 7-11 in Fairfax (small town in West Marin), there were 2 cop cars in front of the store. We got out of our car the same time the cops did.....my son walks up to them and tells them "the donuts and coffee are against the back wall." I SWEAR I have never said anything to my kids about cops and donuts. The cops give me a smile and hold the door open for me and my kids.....all the while chuckling to each other about it. I was MORTIFIED.

My son attended the same elementary school as I did.
The crotchety ole Ms. Dobbins was STILL teaching - and as luck would have it, he was in her first grade class. On the first day of school, I received a call from her. "Christie, "Bratboy" might have some adjustment issues" (he is autistic). "Oh?" I asked, really not wanting to hear what could have possibly happened on the first day! "After lunch, he went to his cubby and got a blanket and a stuffed animal out of his backpack (I didnt put them there). He proceeded to find an area on the play mats and laid down. When I went over and explained that he was a big boy now and that we didnt have naps in first grade, he looked up at me and said: "Who the hell signed me up for this shit?!?!?" :goodscore: He is SO my son! :dance2: Christie |
Oh these are GREAT, Y'all!!! Thanks!:heartbeat:

Just the other day my 3 and a half year old grand Daughter got up early with me and came in and sat on my lap...she was still sleepy and was being so talkative affectionate and just plain cute... in the middle of our conversation she reached up and touched my face and said Grandma you are so pretty...I laughed and I said "oh you silly, Grandma isn't pretty".... she said "Yes you are grandma you have blue eyes like my blue eyes" .... I said "Most people don't think Grandma is pretty. Most people think grandma looks like a boy".....she thought that was hilarious! and she started laughing ... she said "you are not a boy!" and she just kept laughing .... "you are a grandma and you are pretty cause you look just like me and we are the prettiest....."
I thought about how it just tickeled her so to think that people could actually think I was a boy..... cause I have always just been grandma ...... then I realized I had not been told I was pretty for more than 15 years. I just love that little angel. Stoney |

When my ex and I were still together, we were doing our weekly grocery shopping. My son, who was about 5 at the time, was in the backseat and asked if we could buy some Hershey's kisses at the store. I told him that I would think about it. I was looking for a parking space and neither my ex nor I were paying much attention to the little voice from the back seat...and then I realized what he was saying. "What do we want? Hershey's kisses. When do we want them? NOW! Hershey's now, Hershey's forever!" My ex and I just looked at each other and then she said "Is he back there PROTESTING?!" We about died laughing! What can I say? He's his mother's son :)

I do not have any kids at this point in my life.. but these posts really made me smile... Congrats to those of you with kids and grandkids
Smiles :frog: |
One Saturday morning, my then~partner let me sleep in and she got up to fix breakfast for all of us.....my youngest child, who was still in a diaper at night, marched into the kitchen, her little hands on her hips, and said, "Lynne! I'm a mess!! CHANGE MY PANTS!!!"
When I want to embarrass her today, I tell that story. She gave me a lot of good material! ;) |
My daughter was four-years-old and I'd taken her grocery shopping. To this day, I despise this chore, so I'd decided on this particular day to make her my little helper. Instead of riding in the cart as she usually did, I would allow her to walk with me (her constant request), but I would have her select items that she could reach for me from the shelves. I thought this would keep her engaged as well as close to me, so that I didn't have to chase after her.
She thought this was quite a pleasant task for about the first couple of rows but quickly grew weary of helping. We got to canned items, I think, and when I asked her to hand me a couple of items she put her hands on her little hips, looked back at me and said, "You will be paying for my back surgery, you realize." (Where they get this stuff, I will never know.) |

I used to work for an agency where I took care of children with special needs after school at their homes and just do individual care. Well one of my "kids" mom's birthdays were coming up and she had always talked about trying new foods... Well I had 8 yo gorgeousness with me in the kitchen and I started showing her little ways to help me prepare the food. She looked up at me and asked what this was...so I proceeded to tell her I was lebanese and that we are making her mommy a special dinner.
Her mom ended up coming home early in the middle of us cooking and asked what we were doing and gorgeousness said, " She's teaching me how to cook like a lesbian." Man the look on her very religious mom's face was priceless... but of course I had some explaining to do. |
When my youngest daughter was maybe 5, we were grocery shopping before the holidays. And in the back of the grocery store were freezers bulging full of holiday turkeys. She looked them up and down then began to skip up and down the isle singing loudly to the tune of the show COPS:
Bad turkeys, bad turkeys whatcha going to do whatcha going to do when they come for you Bad turkeys, bad turkeys whatcha going to do whatcha going to do when they come for you Everyone shopping in the back of the store stopped to chuckle.:dance2:Pashi |
My MADDIE
Wow I could write a novel on the things my "sunshine shadow" Maddie says. She's my extra special niece in more ways than one. She requires a little more forgiveness than most kids need . But I love her for that !
Here's a recent story since I better get going here in a sec. MY twin took her to an indoor water park a few weeks ago. She's 6 yrs old. and just became a fairly decent swimmer this summer. No floation devises needed now. But we still keep a close eye on her as she tends to have total disreguard for human life at times . lol She is fearless. My sister was waiting in the water at the bottom of a big slide for Maddie to come down , it was about 4 ft to 5 ft deep. When she hit the water instead of swimming over to the side like my twin expected her too, with her head above the water she seemed to be walking over towards my sister. Thinking the water was too deep for her, my twin was surprised. So she asked Maddie, "Oh can you touch the bottom?" Maddie said , " Yes I brought my tippy toes along." |
Of course there are always the cute stories about how children ~ when learning new words ~ struggle with some.
Erin had a difficult time a few letters....and she actually changed OUR vocabulary..... Because it is SO much cuter to say "glubs" than "gloves"......and "punking" rather than "pumpkin"...... |
