PS Aquaman I love this thread! I feel like -- as opposed to friends and colleagues, who really DON'T care -- the people reading it are actually interested. If you don't like it, skip it! But don't spoil the party for all us doting moms and dads (and aunts and uncles).

I disagree, aquaman. We're not providing feedback to each other, which might lead you to that belief. I am really enjoying everyone's entries. My favorite was Deb G's daughter's musing about Elmo's world. It blew my mind. The others are terrific, too.

An officer was visiting my daughter's pre-school class and he asked them if any of them knew someone who ever stole anything. My daughter's hand shot up and she said. "yes! My mom! She took all the jellies and soaps from the hotel room." |

Remembered another one....
Last year when our youngest was in first grade she was asked to answer some questions about her mother for a Mother's Day card. For the answer to the question about Mommy's job she wrote: "My Mommy's job is sending emails" (her Mom is a stay at home Mom) |

Thom, I guess youre right. Lemme try one. About 9 years ago, my friend told me that 6 years earlier, her then 5 year old was standing in line at the checkout line at a supermarket with her mom. The elderly woman in front of her, reaching into the bottom of the basket farted, practically in the girl's face. Announced the girl, "EWWWWWWWWWWWWW, MOMMY, THAT OLD LADY JUST BURPED OUT OF HER PANTS!" |

My three-or-so daughter was drawing a picture of me. AFter completing a very toothy grin, she said "Okay, the smile is done. Now for the wrinkles!" |

I also think these are hysterical ... I love this thread.
My niece at age 3 when we were visiting her family in California: "It's not YOsemite, It's MYsemite."
Another niece, when first learning to speak, thought "kitties" were "tickles" ... try saying "here kitty kitty kitty kitty" really fast and you'll see why she'd get confused.
Earlier this year my 1st-grader daughter thought you put "pyramids" at the end of sentences. For a while, she even drew them as little triangles. |

Here's one that is similar to clkelley's niece.
A friend, who was living in Florida at the time, was a truck driver and would tell his three your old son about his frequent trips to Miami. His son, upon hearing someone else mention they were going to Miami, got very indignant and stated: "That's not your Ami that's my Daddy's Ami" |

I heard of a three year old who was shown an airplane pilot and his copilot. Later, he saw twin babies in a stroller, and he said, "Look, it's a baby and a cobaby."

My younger son, then about three, was watching a neighbor nurse her baby. "Is there orange juice in the other one?" he wanted to know. |

When we moved here, my son was 3 1/2, and was convinced the diner/coffee shop restaurant in town was called the "Make Believe". He also used to sing, loudly, while using the facilities, so loudly that people would be chuckling.
Now 12, he was suitably chagrined when I told him about this recently. |

Last night I was changing the baby's poopy diaper and 3 year old big sister was "helping" by handing me wipes. She gave me the first and second wipe and when I asked for a third big sis said "(sigh) Mommy, you're making me CRAZY!".
Hmmm. Wonder where she heard that before. |

Several years ago, one of my toddler daughters saw me in the shower and announced to the family later that night at dinner that she had glimpsed my tail!
(I later confessed to my wife that she must have thought that -'caused it was wrapped around me) |

Introducing a friend's 3YO to the family dog:
3YO: what's this?
me: that's her tags.
3YO: what for?
me: they say she went to the doctor and got all of her shots.
3YO: is her doctor a dog or a person? |

All musings on my oldest son - at least my second son can't read yet & feel upset for being left out...
When our oldest was about 5, we went to the movies & took our own snack...as we were getting our tickets torn & could see the consession stand, my son told the employee "luckily we don't need to go over there & buy stuff 'cause we have our own snacks!"
He recently announced that the third baby we are expecting should sleep with him in his bunkbed (guess it depends on how sleep-deprived I get!)...it seems he's annoyed that his little brother usually ends up with us & feels it's unfair that "everyone else in this da*n house gets to sleep with a human being!"
When he was about 4 and was playing with his friend, who had a baby sister of not-quite 3, he said "Hey - I think your baby wants to play with us" to which his friend replied "she's not a baby, she's a tobbler" |

Was spending some time with my 3 year old grandson on Sunday when he came up to me, leaned into my lap and, with his big blue eyes riveted on my face, asked:
"Do you have any kids?"  |

This just happened. Driving along SO Avenue on the way home from the mall, a car pulls up along side us and it's emitting some HORRIBLE gas.
My older girls start joking about how it stinks, how one or the other will add to the rotten egg smell, and the 22 month old says, "Car Pooped!" and laughs. |

I was just in Cape Town, South Africa, on business. When I returned, I showed my 5 1/2 year old some postcards of the city. One was of Nelson Mandela's cell at Robben Island prison (now a museum). My son asked, "Is that your hotel room?" |
