Kids say the darndest things

“Another name we thought about was Jasmine, but people around here don't think it's appropriate.

We need to get Laurel up to the Smokies this year when the mountain laurel is blooming, so she can see it. We had her up around Deep Creek last May, but I don't remember seeing any.”

“Laurel Rose is a beautiful name.

My grandgirl is usually just called "sister"
:)”

“i think mountain laurel is one of the prettiest flowers in the smokies”

I agree...there is a small stream that runs into Brushy Lake in Bankhead forest in Alabama......the Mountain Laurel grows on both banks and hangs over the water to almost form a tunnel....
...one of the most beautiful places I have ever been ....”

“Kids say the darndest things


they sure do, like

"Mom, Id like to learn how to drive"

OMG twignut on the road with me?”

“Mine gets "hand kisses" from us when we leave for the day. That way she can hold her hand on her cheek and have a kiss whenever she wants one.

Today she crawled in bed with me, told me she'd had a hand kiss from Daddy before he left for work and that she'll share it with me if I miss him. =)

Then she proceded to ask how it would be if gas was only ONE DOLLAR. I told her it'd be cool.”

“That would be super cool. Sweet on the hand kiss.

maple, be afraid, be very afraid.”

“Hey, Laurel already knows she wants to drive a racecar.”

“:-) @ Sass


OMG Mapes, teaching a teen to drive in NYC!
Hope you have nerves of steel! Good Luck!”

“I don't think I posted this one.

So a week or so ago I was chasing Laurel around the house before bedtime. I happend to not have a shirt on. I grab her and get her in hug and start tickling her. Laurel giggles for a bit and then with one finger she starts poking me in the bicep.

She says "Daddy has muskels!" (think Popeye saying muscles)

Then she looks at me with big wondering eyes and asks "Daddy, where did you get those????"”

“And I'll bet now you occaisionally curl a bicep, looking longingly at tb and say, "Hey baby, I got muskels, wanna feel?" You do that dontcha?”

“Daily.”

“I was helping my brother drywall a room he was adding on in his basement. My 5 yr. old neice was hanging out, using a plastic drill on some scrap lumber while I drilled and spackled. I noticed she didn't have any eye protection on, and even though she was in a secluded place of the work area. I whispered to her something, and she went up to her dad (my right wing christian conservative brother), and said:

"Daddy, I need goggles to protect me so I can drill. This is a union shop."

We both were rolling.”

“I knew it because that's something I would pull. My wife still hears a "How You Doin?" on occasion.”

“Did she then promptly go on break for the afternoon? Kidding 8)

“DH - she got a cookie for overtime bro. I negotiated the deal, lol!”

“Very funny.”

“Last night I picked up my daughter from her grandmas house. In the car I asked if she wanted to hear to cool music. She responded "can we hear rock n roll high school" (by the ramones) I said said I didnt have that CD out. The tunes "blitzkrieg bop' came on and she started singing "hey ho, lets go..." too cute.”

“Very funny.”

“"whats a fuhckass?"

da coot widdle adorable giwl in "donnie darko"”

“Reece had a long stretch of getting bad conduct at school (red and yellow faces). He's been on a good streak lately and got to 7 green's in a row. Tues night mom discussed getting 10 in a row. He looked at her with this look like, "What are you crazy, woman? I'm not being that good for that long." He told her, "Nah, I can't do that." The Wed morning his tummy hurt and he informed her that he couldn't go to school. She told him that if he stayed home then he'd be too sick to play with his toys and he'd just have to lay in bed. She said his face brightened and he said, "I didn't know that," and started getting ready for school.”

“My cousin Erika was giving her 4 year old son a bath the other night. When he got out of the tub to dry off, he asked her to wrap him up in the towel the way dad does it. Apparently her husband Jeff wraps him up real tight in a big towel, then spins him out of it like a top.

Erika told him, "Noah, I am so tired tonight. I just can't. That's something special you do with your daddy."

To which Noah replied, "Mom, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!"

He's obviously paying attention in Sunday School.”

“LOL Ruby!”

“That's great stuff.”

“LOL......how cute!!!........

...I get sooo excited when I see this thread come up....I just KNOW it is going to be something wonderful and entertaining!!!!”

“Kids are great sometime. I used to be scared to death of rollercoasters....then two years ago in Disneyland my then 9 year old daughter demanded we go on all the roller coasters....I was trying to find a way to weasel out of it, but she looked at one of my brothers and said,"My Daddy will go, he's a fireman and they aren't scared of anything."”

“That is hilarious Ruby!”

“,"My Daddy will go, he's a fireman and they aren't scared of anything."”

“Divinity....yes I went and I loved it....LOL. Granted they put me at the FRONT OF THE DARN COASTER IN THE DARK....but I had fun”

“We told the kids over the weekend that a baby is due in Sept. They were excited for about 15 seconds. Sat they both when to my wife and hugged her belly and each of the said, "Hello Baby, this is Reece, Hello Baby, this is Emma." I thought it was pretty sweet.”

“Oh my gosh! Congrats dayhiker! I must have missed the announcment. You are obviously a great dad and are deserving of having as many kids as ya can!

Andrew told the driver if he didn't stop the car he would hit him in the head with his Star Wars Lightsaber.”

“A few weeks back we were visiting my folks. My dad had prepared bbq. We were in the living room eating and my mom got up to go in the kitchen. She called out to my wife, "Mrs. dayhiker, would you like me to put another bun in the oven." She was just asking if she wanted another bbq. I shouted back, "She's already got one of those, but thanks."”

“your dad calls your wife mrs. dayhiker? ;)”

“of course not, didn't want to put her real first name in a public forum, but you already knew that.”

“Funny bun-in-the-oven story. Congratulations!!”

“:-)”

“As Nigal said, you sound like a great dad.

I, and some others here have had the "snip-snip." If you have any questions, e-mail me. Addy is in my profile.”

“Thanks CM. I have a friend that had it done while he was still in the Navy. The story is hilarious. Two quotes from his story:

Doc: You're going to feel some tugging
John: Tugging, that feels like you're cranking a lawn mower.

Doc: Oops
John: Oops, don't say oops, what's ooops.
Doc: I just cut a vein.
John: Well, I hope to hell it wasn't that real important one.

He was fine, but the story was great.”

“I know what you been doin.....

“Damn, my own kid is trolling me. Bryan, my older son posted that.”

“LOL Gemini!!!!







Tonight Tucker (11) asked if he could take his shower before bed instead of in the morning. I said sure, no problem. After his shower he walked to his bedroom with just a towel on, saying good night on the way.

After he got to his bedroom he called out to me, "Mom, this feels good. Can I just sleep without any underwear on?"

So I said, "Sure. But put something on."

He replied, "Okay. I'll get some socks."

The little smartass.”

“Does he take after his mom or his dad? lol”
