since living with my girlfriend and her two mini mermaids…
(ages 8 and 10)
i hear so much stuff that makes me spit out my tea that i have
started writing it down.

my list so far:
the funny shit kids say:

the good thing about dating a bald man is that he will never give you lice, and you can never give it to him.

are your boobs fun?

are you old enough to get married?

is the reason you are not married because no one has asked you yet?
(came from neighbor child and yes, now that i think of it, that is the reason)

i asked my mom if you could keep a weiner dog in your room and she said no, but go ahead and ask her too and she might say yes.

overheard conversation among sisters in car:
but i don’t want to live far away from you when i grow up. and i also don’t want to live near a volcano.

what are the biggest man boobs you have ever seen?

do you wear wedgie underwear or the normal kind?

could you live here forever or until you are a grown-up?

today at school i could not wait to come home and talk about inappropriate things with you.

you could be a real gypsy if you wanted to because you have the clothes for it.

i think a boy at school likes me because all he does is stare at me and smile.

i asked my mom if she had any mom jeans for our video and she said, “i don’t wear those kinds of jeans.”

what are your little pumpkins saying?
please share.

her: damn damn damn damn damn
me: HEY! you can NOT say that!
her: ugh I was talking about a beaver dam mom
me: oh…..

How about today walking through the door she is saying. “In 3rd grade we heard about the” F-word” , but we thought that was the word and now i hear the real F word at school all the time and I kinda wish I was in 3rd grade and didn’t know what it really was.”
Nice.

and i loved your response,
“f word? you mean fudge, right?”

yesterday:

“i don’t want to be away for christmas. i get a lot of presents for a Jew and our car isn’t big enough to hold everything.”

Me asking my husband what our friend Jackie’s surname was, and my 13 year old asking, “Jackie Who?” Hilarious!

“kids say the darndest things”
– linkletter and cosby were onto something

hahahaha.. priceless wisdom! We should listen more often

I want that sign for our front door.

I have them collected on my blog… GO HERE the latest one was from my six year old. In reply to my warning to be careful while climbing on some large driftwood: “Mom! I’m an ADVENTURER!! This is what Adventurers DO!!”

I am laughing so hard I am crying!!! So much goodness!

My little buddy Hunter was playing that checkers game “Connect Four” with his step-dad, who speaks/is Spanish. His step-dad was explaining to Hunter, “You have to get four checkers in a row, either horizontally or vertically…” and Hunter said, “I’m sorry. I don’t speak Spanish.” Hee.

My favorite (and only) son is 17 years old and he always makes me laugh. I’m sure that you just had to be here, but I went to my bedroom to get something, I forgot what it was when I got there, so when I came out he was at the other end of the hallway and I asked him “what did I come in here for?”, he pointed very dramatically to another part of the house and said “Look! A shiny thing!”. It made me laugh and laugh, he knows how easily his mom is distracted.

i am so gonna start writing the things gregory, caelan, and emily say….they are 2 1/2, 3, 5 yrds old. 5 year old especially says the craziest stuff. you should be in this household…i live with my girl friend and kids..fun.

OK…Harry today…I asked him, are these clothes (folded in a pile on the table in his room) clean or dirty? He said “Those are clean. Those are my ‘handy downs’”! He got this fancy outfit from his cousin…apparently too special to put with the rest of his clothes! It was really hard for me not to laugh. So glad I got the opportunity to share. XO

From the mouth of my almost 3yo after she heard me apologizing to a friend for my overpowering “eau du gym”:

“Mommy, you don’t stink. Chicken poop is stinky. It’s DEEEskusting. You’re not DEEEskusting.”

Whew! What a relief!

My 7-year-old girl hops into the van after school and says….”I lost a booger today.”

Yesterday we were off. The phone was ringing & I was running to get it. My 11 year old said, “Run Forest Run!”

I used your 9 things post on my blog.

The past couple of days of been full of questions from my little 5yr old sweetpea. Here are a few:

“Where do you find the person you will marry?”

“How is it that I came out to look like me?”

“Can two girls get married?”

“Do I have to get old and be a grandma?” (something she clearly does not want to do!) xoxo, ~ M.

2 year old Theo is having fun playing with his penis. His mom and I gently remind him that its totally ok, but its something to do in the privacy of home.
He comes out of his room the other day, looks at me with his hand down his pants, and asks:
“Jilly, it’s a PIRATE thing?

So glad you are writing these down! And even happier that you are sharing them! Priceless….

oh the hilarious things kids say!! my third graders crack me up every. single. day.

Kids are the best! I wish that I had written down all the things mine said although I still remember a ton of them. I’ve tried to do better with the grandkids.
