I was in Barnes and Noble today and a mom and her daughter (age 5 or 6?) were walking in front of me. I heard her tell her mom that she is the worst mother in the world. I saw her mom give an "oh well" look. I said "congratulations" to her! lol Then I heard the little girl say that one of these days she was going to get a replacement for her!!!! What a little drama queen. Nice that the mom didn't freak out and pretty much ignored her. Kids these days!!! lol

LOL! I love it! My kids are now almost 19 and almost 14 and I remember those days and they bring back lots of smiles and laughs. Their Dad passed away 2 years ago and he kept a file on each child. In the file he wrote all the funny things they would do or say. It is great for them (and me) because some we forgot about.

When our son when he was about 4 yrs old would say "She has a baby in her 'smucket'" when he would see a pregnant woman! Where he got that, we will never know! LOL!

My daughter was about 6 yrs old and called Dad's cell phone. She said "hello" and listened for a few moments then hung up the phone. I asked her what happened. She said a girl answered the phone and said that Daddy was at a party and he would call back.

Well, I got red hot! I called. It was the generic voice greeting "Your party is not available. Please leave a message..."

Ahhh kids... thanks for the gray hair!

Thanks for the morning laugh kathytheshopper,
Diane

I have a 5 year old grandson who could earn his living right now as a stand up comic!

I was at a friends house the other day and she was telling me how their fish tank was on the mantle and it had fallen. You can imagine the mess. So, of course I inquired about the fish. They had hunted and hunted for "Nemo" and finally found him under the pillow their daughter was sitting on. I asked the 6 yo daughter, "how is Nemo, did he live?" "Oh yes" she said.........................."till he died...."

It probably didn't come off as funny here, but we thought it was hysterical......

I have 2 favorites that my own kids have said.

At age 3 dd and I were at the mall shopping. She was bored with my store choices and I kept telling her "Be patient" We were in the Disney store and I told her to come on. She kept dallying. Finally I firmly told her let's go. She replied with "I'm coming Mommy! Just be patient" I couldn't help but laugh and, yes, I learned my lesson that day.

The other was from ds, at age 4. The flu epidemic was all over the news. We were leaving the grocery store. DS faked coughed and said from the back seat of the car "I think I've got the fly" DD and I busted out with laughter. He's 10 now and we still say "I've got the fly" when we cough.

When my son told me that I was the worst mommy in the world in the middle of the grocery store, another mother walked up to him and told him that I couldn't be the worst because she was. She had three kids who told her that all the time.

My DD and I were in WM when she was about 2 1/2 and we lived in a farming area. She saw the fake target shooting deer and she proceeds to say, very loudly, "Look mommy, it's John Deer". I was crying I was laughing so hard, as well as all of the people around me.

When #1 ds was about 3 yo he had just learned the diff twixt guys and gals.
At that time he also thought mom and dad knew *everyone* in world.
DH was in the grocery store with him one day when sonny boy yelled out, "who's that guy, Daddy? Does he have a penis, too?"
DH is a very mild mannered guy and zipped as quickly as possible outta the produce aisle ;-)

DD#2 came to us at age 7yo from a foreign country. Today she is 15yo, but still has many english language quirks that delight us to no end, we call them *Tullisms*.
Some of my favs are :
Sad willow trees (weeping willows),and how she described to me that a doc had called to schedule a vaccination appt. for one of her bros. She told me the doctor had called for him to come him for his vaseline appointment. Nearly busted a gut over that one ;-)
