Do you have any funny things that your child has done or said?

My oldest has a woman that works at her school that used to work at my high school! When I told her this her reponse was, "WOW!!! I'm surprised she's not dead already! " I laughed my booty off! It was only like 10 years ago! And when I told her that I had this one cd, that she liked, when I was in high school she said, "They had cds back then?" Oh the things kids say!

What's your funniest story?

That's hilarious! Does the poor woman know she should be dead?
The best one I can think of was in kindergarten (2 yrs ago, February), and the teacher asked if anyone knew who we were honoring. My son told her that a "very important person named King Martha Stewart Junior had an important speech about having a dream and then he was shot, and someone is in jail now." (he was getting his stories a bit mixed up--it was her jail-time if you recall ) He also suggested vagisil to my brother for a bug bite, because "it's the best anti-itch cram on the market", and he'll never live that one down...
I can't wait to hear others!

Ha! Kids have a very distorted view of age.

After Michael Johns was voted off of American Idol, my 9 year old said, "Oh, that's too bad. He had a really good voice for being 29!"

(It's a wonder he could get out on the stage without a cane!)

ROFLMAO!!!

Jessica, how funny! Today I let my kids each get a fish. On the way home I was playing Blue October and my oldest said that it looked like the fish were singing the songs! And when we got home and put the fish in their bowl my son wanted to know when he could take them out of their water b/c he wanted fish sticks! (Too bad he's allerigic! lol)

I posted this here about 2 years ago. My son is six now:
Thought you all might like this one. I was getting my kiddos ready to take pictures with the Easter Bunny. I got my girls all dolled up in their pretty dresses and shoes. Then I got my son dressed in his nice pants, buttoned up his shirt, and clipped on his tie. I took a step a back and said "Wow, you look really handsome". He looked down at himself and said "Whoa! I look like Dr. Phil!" I laughed til I cried!

This is a fun topic.

When my son was small my sister took care of him while I worked. We had a strict rule "No gum until you're 3!"

When my son was 2 he wanted to chew gum because his older cousins did. One day while my sister was driving the car my son sweetly said, "Auntie, am I a big boy?" My sister thought he was so sweet. She answered, "Oh, yes honey, you're a big boy."

From his car seat my son replied with, "Then pass the gum!"

We can't think of gum without thinking of that memory.

LOL, Momof3, when my daughter started kindergarten, she came home very excited one day. She told me that her teacher played music for them on "big, black CD's." It took me about 45 seconds to realize that she had never seen a vinyl album or a record player!

When my oldest daughter was little I was very strict about "choking hazards." I really tried to teach her about these and she eventually learned exactly what they were and that they were dangerous. We were over at a friend of mines house one day and their baby was playing in the grass when my daughter(three at the time) found "a Choking hazard." She scooped up the culprit and presented it to my friend and said that this was a "choking hazard." She was so proud she had found this and saved the day!
She would many years later "lecture" a friend of mine on the dangers of smoking LOL! What a little cutie pie! She definitely is many years past her age hehe!

My daughter loves to repeat certain things. My father, her grandfather love to go back and forth with certain words. She loves to call herself a doctor. So her grandfather will say "I doctor" and she will repeat. "No, I doctor"

Well one day she was being a little testy and my dad went ahead and said, "I'm boss" she returns saying, "No Pop, I sauce!"

If you were there you would of laughed.

Many years ago when my eldest nephew was 8 (he is now 2 my husband (my then boyfriend) asked my nephew if he wanted to go skating. He quickly replied yes and we told him that we would take him to public skating on Sunday afternoon. His face got all sad and he said, but we can't go to public skating. I said why not, and he replied - because we are Catholic. We laughed so hard and tell that story quite often (by the way he's a professional hockey player now).

I meant to post that he is now 28 years old.

Jenna, when you mentioned choking, it took me back to my daughter in kindergarten. She liked to tell me all about her day on the way home. On one particular day, she was not happy. In her own little words (some she couldn't say) she told me, "There are TOO many wools!" She elaborated by telling me in the cafeteria there's "no wunning, no laughing, no choking!" Just no fun at all.

I stifled a chuckle and said, "Well, wools are wools!"

She can say her "r's" now.
