After frying my shrimp cakes (see Menu planning thread) "Oh great, now the house is gonna stink for days!" --my five year old daughter, today after I cooked dinner. A little while later, she jokingly uses a curse word. I tell her I'm going to take dishwashing soap, add water and make her gargle with it (yeah, right). "Well then, I'll blow bubbles out my a**." How do you not crack up at that? | ||

My older girl has always been amazingly good at puzzles. They were five and two in the sandbox, and the older noticed that two rocks, which she found at different corners of the sandbox, fit together, because they had been one rock, cracked apart. The younger one, at TWO years old, handed me a rock, and said, "Open it." Tom Reingold the prissy-pants There is nothing | ||

"Oh, hi, Dad. Do you still live here?" A friend's six-year-old son upon seeing his father, who worked long hours in the city, at breakfast one morning. Postscript: The dad ultimately quit his job and went to work for a more family-friendly company. | ||

This past year my now five year old (four at the time) and I are having an argument (I admit that I am not acting my age and have lost all patience) and she yells at me "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME" to which I reply "OH YES I AM YOUNG LADY" to which she replies "NO YOU'RE NOT - GEORGE BUSH IS THE BOSS OF ME' after which her dem mother gives up in a fit of laughter.... | ||

Walking down the streets of NYC with my not quite 3 year old on my shoulders, we pass a drinking establishment that looks, for all its mahogany and brass, a little like St. James' Gate. My son announces, for the street to hear, "Hey daddy...thats just like where we go drinkin down the pub." Course I dont drink and he and I have never 'gone drinkin down the pub'.

OK, you have to have seen "Home Alone" to get this one - remember the gangster movie Kevin is watching? I'm in a store with my then-3-year-old. I'm looking at sheets or something. He starts knocking on the side of the shelving, as if knocking on a door. "Who's there?" I ask. He replies: "It's me, Snakes, I got the stuff." Great family story....he's 16 now, and still pretty darn funny. | ||

Shopping at the crowded A&P on a hot summer day with my mom and little sister when I was little. My little sister leans out of her stroller to rub my mom's bare leg, and shouts "ooooo! Prickly legs!!" My mom was mortified. | ||

When our oldest (now almost 13) was about 4 she was attempting to write something on a piece of paper her face was all scrunched, very focused. When my wife asked her what she was doing, she replied: "Not now Mommy, I'm constipating!" Another story told by a friend who took his 3 year old son to the reservoir and his son asked looking at the water: "What side is the hot water?" | ||

vor, that reminds me, when my older was about three, one cold, windy January day, we went to Johnson Park in Piscataway, near where we lived. There's a lagoon where birds hang out. Geese and gulls were standing on the frozen lagoon. My daughter said, "Why do the birds stand on the ice? To keep their feet nice and cold?" Tom Reingold the prissy-pants There is nothing | ||

When my oldest son was 3, he asked if the Easter Bunny was God. No, I replied, but the Easter Bunny sort of helps God by making kids feel happy. He said, like Santa Claus? I said, yes. He was quiet for a few minutes, then he said, Dad, is God lazy? | ||

My daughter, at the time age 4, got a pair of purple silky pajamas on Christmas Eve. She was so excited, she ran upstairs to put them on and then came walking down the stairs like a movie star, exclaiming "I feel like I'm seven!" | ||

When my son was five (now 12), he was seriouly typing away on an old typewritter of my dad's. My dad asked him what he was writing. My son said he was writing a book. Several, as a matter of fact. My dad asked him if he was going to write a book on astrology. My son replied "Oh no. I'm going to write it on paper!" | ||
