When I was pregnant with my younger daughter, my older daughter (then 3) asked us a number of times whether the baby would be a girl or a boy. Early on we told her "We don't know ... only God knows." A couple of months later, I had an amnio and learned that the baby was a girl. When we told big sister, her response was "Did God tell you?". | ||

My nephew was about a month old at Christmas nine years ago, and my younger daughter was about three years old. My sister was breastfeeding him. I held him in my arms for a while, and my daughter was getting increasingly jealous. When she had finally had enough of seeing a baby in my arms, she said, in her best matter-of-fact voice, "I think he needs to drink his mommy now." Tom Reingold the prissy-pants There is nothing | ||

I'm on the way to the Florham Park Roller Rink this afternoon and my soon to be six year old says "Daddy? I don't understand life" As soon as I regained control of the vehicle I asked him to elaborate and he went into this whole thing about how he doesn't understand how he can see his friends and how do his eyes work. He's something else, this kid. So, after we get home we looked it up on the web and he says " I like you, Dad, you're weird but I like you" I asked him why I was weird and he said " You freak me out" I can't wait until he's a teenager... | ||

LOL, Arnomation! (And others!) This morning, my three-year-old ran into the bathroom and slammed the door. When I asked what he was doing, he--mimicking his much older sister, who spends lots of time there--said snippily, "I need my piracy!" | ||

On Friday, my 12 year old daughter called me at work, just before I was about to head home. She said, "Dad, I know this sounds wifey, but could you buy some milk on the way home?" Tom Reingold the prissy-pants There is nothing | ||

A long time ago when my niece was about 6 ish, my husband and I went to see the movie "Cosmos" and were talking about it with my parents. My niece pipes up, "Oh that's a good movie, but it's not as good as the naaawvel." (Of course she hadn't seen the movie or read the book, but her MOM had!) My favorite of my own kid's happened when she was about 3. We were visiting my parents, and had just got in the door when my daughter leaped into my mom's lap saying, "Hi Nana! Guess What! Last night, mama was teaching so Daddy read me my story! And a bad man called him on the phone and tried to sell him something he didn't want! So Daddy told him to f*** off with himself!" After we all recovered from trying to squash the laughter, we explained that Daddy said a bad word. And Daddy and Mama started being a LOT more careful with our language after that ... | ||

Not long ago, while at a restaurant, my four year old son was asked by the waiter what he wanted to drink with his meal. He said, "Sprite." Then the waiter asked me. My son chimed in: "My daddy likes beer." I quickly responded: "Yes, but that's not all I drink." Then my son added: "My daddy also likes wine." Yikes! | ||

Whenever my four year old son experiences "popping" in his ears caused by pressure changes, he describes it as "cracking his ear knuckles." How about cute kiddy malapropisms? My favorite one of my son is "The Statue of Livery." | ||

My daughter can't grasp that the city is called Miami - she insists on calling it "your ami". She also calls pineapple-kineapple. The other day she was trying to get me to get her something out of the refrigerator for her, in order to tempt me she said "there's a big glass of chocolate milk for you" I replied that I didn't like chocolate milk. She thought for about a second and then said "There's a big beer in there" In nursery school she was sent to the director's office for saying "I'm done with this crap", which would have been bad enough, but to make it worse, the other children then started chanting along with her. | ||

My favorite just occurred recently - My 7 year old had to write about what his parents do. I'm in pharmaceutical marketing & my husband is a property manager of rental apartments. Part of his job is to inspect the apartments when tenants move out and remove anything left behind. Son's description "My mom makes medicine and my dad goes into people's homes and takes things." | ||

That's funny seeingeyemom. When my older daughter was in fourth grade, she visited her mother at work and wrote about it. Since she didn't understand her mother's work, she only wrote about the coffee breaks, conversations in the aisle, lunch, etc. That's what Mom did at work, as far as she was concerned.

This thread is like telling people your dreams. People will politely listen, but they're really not as impressed as the story teller. | ||

How about totally embarrassing school assignments? Last year my (then 7 y.o.) daughter had to write a "book" with pages for each family member. Under my name, she wrote, "My mom really likes fish and for my dad to buy her jewelry." My husband laughed his ass off at this, until he got to his page, which began, "My dad works all the time, so I really don't know much about him." |
