Kids Say The Darndest Things.....

[Diva]

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!

LOL that reminds me of a story about my uncle (who's now a Doctor)... The church they attended was very very strict "Old Order" (where the women still don't have a say in things...and the "elders" run the show)... During one Revival meeting, around the time my uncle was being potty trained, several visiting Elders and Deacons were gathered outside near the old out house, my uncle - then a little red-headed fire cracker - stepped out of the "john" with his pants around his ankles and stuck his butt up to an Elder and said "wipe my butt"... Knowing these Elders as I grew up with them, I can just imagine their faces!!

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.Pashi

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"......

Oh yes, Bek had a few of those. Ollycopters (helicopters) and oticots (apricots), and onninges (oranges), and frengly (friendly). We still use frengly today

Thank you for making me smile with all the cute stories. I have 14 godchildren and when I am awake I am sure I will be back to tell some of the things they said.

LOL too cute! LOL Ollycopters reminded me of "Olly" for my son's first favorite teething toy dolly (a little brightly colored clown)... and he couldn't say cigarette..it was goo-gret ...and Grump-pa for his favorite Grandpa... bubbies for bubble bath... and Wennie Skins for his thermal Pjs. Grump-pa still craves his goo-grets and we all still use our warm Wennie Skins...and my puppy knows his command for "bubbies" and sulks over to our tub with his cute pout.

I recently received a hand-made letter necklace from a child that said:

"You are the beast"



Who knew?

Helped Him Cry

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

My daughter is 6, and the other day on the morning news they were talking about adoption and all the kids in haiti. Well, first off, she has a lil sister who does not live with us so here is what she told me....it went along the lines of: Mommy, can I have a little sister who lives in the house because I saw on the news this morning they was giving away the kids for free.

AND ANOTHER...


Monday mornings they have share day at school, so Sunday night we was getting stuff ready for school. She wanted to bring one of her barbie dolls and ken. So when she bought in ken with a barbie doll I asked her if she was putting that barbie in the bag with him. She then looked at me and said in a straight voice, No, these two got divorced I am bringing another Barbie....

My offspring's current facebook status has had me giggling ever since I caught sight of it last night:

"I had a dream that my school was connected to a sweet shop with pocky scattered everywhere and there was a brand of jelly called Why Wear Vagina Ears? The packet was covered with pigs on springs. The rest of the dream was a documentary on sea snakes then standing on a water boy trying not to fall into a sea full of snakes."

She's 15, and like many kids, is often the funniest when she's not trying to be.
