Funny Things Kids Say

[LAJennifer]

My nephew (he is now 6) was quite fascinated with the President when he was almost 2 years old. Whenever he was on tv, my nephew would always stop what he was doing and watch. We were on vacation together when Ronald Reagan died - and the memorial was televised. The President was speaking and Garrett was glued to the tv set. I asked, "Who is that?" He replied, "George Bush". I said, "who is George Bush?" and his response was, "the President". Fast forward a month, and the president was making a visit to Garrett''s hometown. My brother thought it would be great to take Garrett, so that he could see him in person. While they were waiting for the President to address the audience, my brother struck up a conversation with one of the Secret Servicemen. Of course the Secret Serviceman thought Garrett was cute and started asking him some questions. My brother thought he would show off just how adorably smart his 2 year old was, so he asked Garrett (in front of the Secret Serviceman) who the President is. Garrett''s reply was . . . "Jimmy Buffett."



A year later he told me that our family doesn''t celebrate Hannukah because we are not British.

I just remember growing up, my baby brother would try to fix things all over the house with his plastic toy "doo-feiffer" (screwdriver)

I don''t know if anyone watched this, but last night there was a little girl on America''s Got Talent. She sang Somewhere out there like she''d known it since she was born. She is 4 (she just turned four according to her). Anyways, Sharon Osbourne asked her if she was from New York and her reply was "ummm.... I''m from America"

Oh, and the little girl went to Vegas. The end!

Okay, so this is more along the lines of Funny Things Kids DO.

Today, we took our 2 yr old to the garage to work on the lawn mower. DH was working on one side of the mower, I was painting my nails, and JT grabbed a wrench to "work". Next thing I know, JT says "All done." *tink, tink, pa plink.* DH looks around the lawn mower, and JT has unbolted a mount. The nut has rolled away and JT looks very pleased with himself. Then, he asks Daddy if he should do it on the other side, too.

Also, in reading the other posts, one of them reminded me of my little sis. Her first sentence was "It''s all f**ked up!" when she handed a broken toy to my mother, who agreed. She also referred to one article of clothing as "clo" and one leg of nylons as a "pantyho".

I was sitting on the floor in the living room watching TV and my 7 year old came up to me and sat next to me and put his little head on my shoulder and said, "mommy, I''m sooo addicted to you". Then you hear my FI (who was sitting on the couch in the same room) say, "yeah Brandan, I know what you mean!"

These are all too cute!!! Kids are so funny.

When my nephew was 3-ish (he''s 7 now), we were at a party and I was wearing pantyhose. Well, somehow he started picking at my legs and he discovered that he could pull the hose away from my legs. With a truely horrified look, he says "Ewwwww, Aunt Lynnie, what''s wrong with your SKIN?!?" I was dyin''!

My daughter who is 9 lost a tooth while she was getting ready for bed. She put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. After cleaning up dishes ect., I , well, I FORGOT

So when she woke up in the morning, and there was no note, and no monetary compensation, she was upset. (I felt like S**T!) I told her that probably because she lost it at night, the Tooth Fairy just didn''t have it on her list, and that she would definitely be by tonight. So she put her tooth under her pillow again.

Of course, this just so happens to be the day the house was cleaned, and the cleaner changed her bed sheets, and the wadded up paper towel with my daughter''s tooth was THROWN AWAY! (Now I feel like Double S**T!) So I start searching through the garbage (YUCK), and at the VERY BOTTOM of the VERY LAST BAG, I find her tooth

So she puts in under her pillow and the next morning finds her note and $$ and she is happy. But she has a sheepish grin on her face so I ask "You know I''m the Tooth Fairy don''t you?" And she says "Yeah, Dad told me a while ago. (WHAT

)"But can I still put the teeth under my pillow mom? I just really like the notes you write." So hearing that from her was worth going through the garbage, but you think that they could have let me in on the secrect BEFORE I started rummaging through the garbage!

My parents has the opposite situation. My dad wished my mom wouldn''t tell us these things. When I was 5, my little brother asked my mom if santa was real when we were in the parking lot of a michael''s. She said no. She hated lying to kids, and while I remember it clearly, I don''t remember being disappointed. Of course, "santa" always wrote really sweet notes in the illegible handwriting that my dad had, so I don''t think it suprised me. To this day, we keep and cherish all the notes "santa" sent us, so I know the feeling.

Good for you

Good for you

Thanks BIH,
She said she didn''t care about the $, just the notes, which just makes me feel lucky to have such a great kid. And my husband said he "didn''t want to burst my bubble", because I really do enjoy writing those notes, and I am really in no hurry for my kids to grow up anyway. So no harm done. I hope she holds on to those notes like you did. And it did give her something to write about in school the next day...All in the life of a mom
