Out of the mouths of babes

[msmichellemiller]

As a stay-at-home mom I always say one of the best things about my job is the comic relief my kids give me each day! There are just so many things they say and do that have me cracking up! I thought I'd start a thread on sharing some of our kids' funniest moments/things said and here are just a few of mine: My 4 yr old, Rocko and I have a lot of conversation during the day:

Upon watching me apply makeup: "Mommy! You look sooooo pretty!" a beat, then "and sooooo fake!"

When I first explained his tonsilectomy to him and the fact he'd have to stay in the hospital. (Mind you, this only a year after I had his baby bro in the hospital) "Am I going to have a baby?"
Speaking of the baby one, I just remembered another one back when I was still pregnant w/Rex. I was explaining there was a baby in my tummy, his response: "why did you eat a baby?"

A few afternoons ago I was very busy and a tad bit short with him. He was asking me 20 questions and I impatiently asked why he asked so many questions. (I know, not so nice of me but he got me w/his response) "Because, I'm a kid....duh!"

Recently he asked the name of one of my friends. I told him "Emily" and his eyes widened. "The TRAIN??!!" Emily, being one of Thomas the Tank Engine's friends. so silly!
He can really make my day sometimes and it's fun to share the different things he said w/his Daddy at the end of each day.

When my youngest daughter was about three, I took her into the bathroom stall with me in a public restroom because I didn't want to leave her standing outside of it alone.

I went to go sit down and loudly she exclaimed, "There is NO way THAT bottom is going to fit on that potty!" ROFLMAO. I heard several snickers from the other stalls. I still laugh when I think of that.

Another time was when we were at a restuarant with several other friends. We were with one couple who the husband was pouring stuff from the buffet into his wife's purse (candy and stuff). When the waiter came back from leaving the bill, he asked for his pen back and the husband said he hadn't left one. My daughter loudly exclaimed, "You put it in Miss ____'s purse along with all of that stuff from the buffet!" ROFLMAO again. He was known for that kind of stuff, so it was hilarious to see him busted. I have never seen him blush so much.

Ooh, there's a train named after me.....lol

Ah, this is why I started this thread! I litterally laughed out loud at your story of the daughter in the stall with you! :D:D:D
Hope more will share, kids are comic gold!

I was in a little greasy spoon on the way home from visiting family with my three girls. A big, burly truck driver sat at the table next to us and picked up the plastic catsup bottle to doctor up his fries. You know the sounds those bottles make sometimes:

frrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppp!

Gasps all around the table and one of the girls said, "Momma, that man tooted!"

I'm not sure whose face was redder, mine or his.

Well, Little Bit only says three words, so I don't have any stories on her yet, but my Dad tells one on me. ATMs were apparently a relatively new invention when I was a toddler, and my dad made the mistake of trying one out for the first time with me in tow. After a couple of tries, and a line forming behind him, he decides to give up trying to get any money from the machine. As we walk away, I supposedly started wailing, "Nooooo, I want something to eat." I guess I thought it was a vending machine or something.

LOL! One of my kids did that once - we went to the bank and he expect the teller to send back food lol.

Anyone with little boys knows what happens when you change a diaper in the morning. Well my ds said one morning - "Look Mommy, my winkie is looking at me!"

I still giggle over that one.

Also, my dd wanted to become a vegetarian and my ds said "I want to be a veggie terrier too!" He thought she was becoming a dog.

yeaaaaahhhh....I'm not a big fan of that and I've got 4 boys (3 of which I had to change diapers). I always just fasten the diaper back up and give them a moment to 'compose' themselves, if you will! :p

My youngest colored his penis with Sharpie. And I swear this was not that long ago... :rolleyes:

My little Picasso!

haha yes, kids are cute. No matter what kind of day you are having...they can always seem to make you laugh. I work at a MDO program, and I work with the older twos-threes. They have said some funny things before that really just made me laugh. lol

I've been trying all day to remember some of the particularly cute or funny stories. I'm too exhausted right now (one of the common side effects of having five kids!) to think. I'll try to post something tomorrow :)

We've been telling our 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter that we are going to Texas soon and that when we get there we'll do lots of fun things like ride a boat (water taxi) and go to the zoo.

A couple of days ago, my 3-year-old headed for the door with her backpack, and when I asked her where she was going she said, "I'm going to 'Taxes' to ride a boat and see a monkey, a tiger and a zebra!"
