The Funny Things Kids Say...



I gave birth not to children, but to comedians. One of these days I am going to sit down and write a book about all the funny, silly or cute things my kids have said to us..

I thought I would share just a few of the little gems my kids have slipped on us the last year alone...

Who needs TV...

Jeremy told me that webs come out of spider bums...I asked him how he knew about that?  "God told me..." he said....  All I know is that it sure wasn't me... I spend as little time as possible thinking about spider bums...

We are going to be really sad the day my son learns to be more subtle...Tonight he picked a doctor Seuss book full of stories....He asked his dad if he knew why he picked that book...Kendal.."Because it is your favorite?"   Jeremy..." No, because I wanted to waste more time... I mean hear more stories... "

From Gracie after she stripped off all of her clothes AGAIN at nap time..."They just falled off and jumped off!! " Time for me to buy her some clothes that stay in place....

Kendal to Jeremy this morning.... " Mommy isn't the boss of me..."   Jeremy.. "Really? Is that how that works? "

Gracie was not feeling well this morning, so Jeremy being the good little big brother that he is felt her forehead to check her temperature... "Wow! Gracie is 50 lbs hot!"

Last night while putting Gracie to bed.. she said.. "Bye Crocodile.." I think she might have mixed up her metaphors....

I officially embarrassed my son at the Feta-Afahye Festival tonight when two clowns literally  dragged me up to dance... Apparently I don't dance well... because my son yelled at the top of his lungs " NO MOMMY! Don't do that! Don't dance!!"

Me to Jeremy... "What do you want to be when you grow up? " Jeremy... "Daddy!"  The greatest compliment any child can ever pay their parent....♥♥♥

Jeremy told me tonight that the reason the power went out the other day is because Daddy played a dumb game on his computer....

We were driving home tonight, and Gracie says to me in a really whiny voice... " Mommy  I want my purple cup" Me to Gracie... "Mommy wants lots of things too Gracie... " Jeremy to me... " But Gracie just wants her purple cup!"

Kendal was just playing "Yellow Submarine" by "The Beatles for the kids. Gracie asked her daddy.... "Daddy, do we live in a yellow submarine?"

Me playing I Spy with Jeremy tonight... "I spy with my little eye... something that is... Yellow... Jeremy to me... "NO. You don't."

Gracie poked me in the armpit today and said... "Mommy... is that your brain?"

and finally....

Me... teasing Gracie... "I'm gonna pick your nose..." Gracie... "NO your not. Your finger is too big..."
