This is a collection of things kids say or do. Most of these were snagged from Facebook or from stories told. For protection, I have removed any last names.
- Trinity says "How come when we go to McDonalds we never see the farm?" Tyler quickly replys "That's cause it's the OLD McDonalds we go to the new one".
- Noah's funny for the day. So today we tried potty training again..we did rather well all throughout the day. He got a jelly bean every time he went #1 and I knew that #2 had to be coming soon so I took him to the bathroom and said, "now Noah if you go poo poo you will get 2 jelly beans" Noah pushed and pushed and said "Poopy come on down I want candy..poopy come out!" I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants...the rest of the potty day however didn't go well..Noah realized peeing on the dogs was more fun than peeing in the potty so I put the diaper back on and we are waiting till daddy gets back!
- So Noah's to that stage where he repeats everything I say and I of course say things without thinking. So when moose ate a bowl of salad tonight I called him a stupid mutt. As soon as the words came out of my mouth I regretted saying them not because of moose's feelings (because he is dumb) but because I forget little ears are listening. So for the rest of the night Noah has been pointing at moose with one hand (has the other hand on his hip) telling "boose" he is a "toopid butt" I know in 20 years this will be funny but right now I'm thinking of taking a vow of silence.
- Caden: [runs into kitchen screaming]
Me: What's wrong?
Caden: Ri-yee hit Caden's eye wit screwdriber!
Me: Were you bullying him and trying to steal his toys again?
Caden: [hangs head] Yef.
Me: Well... I hate to say it, but you were kinda asking for it.Caden: [confused look] No ask hit.
- I think Riley's name should be changed to Kamikaze Monkey. This child has no sense of self-preservation. Zilch. First, he tries to climb a bookshelf and ends up hitting his face on the way down, resulting in a gash, bruise, and swollen purple eye... the next night he takes a running leap at the coffee table and gets a big purple lump on his forehead that makes him look like a klingon. Poor kid looks like he was in a nasty bar fight. Maybe I should bubble-wrap the entire house... or Riley.
- "Ugh, I feel like a hippo at this point of my pregnancy," I complained to Derek. A few minutes later, Caden looks at me seriously and asks,
"Mama... you're a hippo?"
"No Caden, but I feel like one with this big round belly."
Caden sat thoughtfully for a while and then asked, "Is Daddy a hippo?"
- Yesterday, the tornado sirens went off for their weekly (yes, weekly) test and Caden ran to me asking, "Mama, is dat a fire truck?"
"No, buddy, it's the tornado siren."
After a long and slightly confused pause Caden asked, "Is a tomato siren?"
