Kids Say The Darndest Things.....

Passionaria · 12-05-2009, 03:46 AM

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.

This morning, I called my 'baby' ~ she's 22, but she will always be my baby ~ and woke her up.

She took us both back 20 years, when she answered the phone, "Hi, Mommy."

It made my day......
