Kids say the darndest things

“I will.

He took quite a spill off one of those log bridges. The walking surface was chest high on me to the creek bottom and the water was shallow. Luckily, he landed on his back amongst boulders instead of head first. That could have been bad. I got him to walk the bridges again before we left so that he wouldn't be scared of them from here on out.”

“Tonight at dinner:

Me: "Abby, how do you like your dinner?"

Abby: "Well, I kinda like it and I kinda don't"

Me: "What do you mean? Do you like it or not?"

Abby: "I do and then I don't. It's good and sort of not too"

Me: "You must know whether you like it or not; I want to know if I should make it again"

Abby:" It's good and it's not good so I don't know but I do know that I love you"

=)”

“classic!”

“What a sweet child.
She didn't like it but didn't want to hurt your feelings.”

“She is such a cutey pie!”

“i cannot WAIT for all about the kids IV. i really hope i can make it this year”

“Ignoring principle to be popular - apple doesn't fall far from the tree. LOL!

How cute! That's so neat!

=)”

“iz widdle s-rgeypoo still mad big mean sassyfwassy picked on him? u tell dat big gurl top it!”

“I promise you crash bang, she never induced a single negative emotion in me. I just call it like I see it. She's all about style over substance.”

“him dudint feel a ting! awwwwww him a wobot”

“oooo-k”

“i have to admit, im all style and no substance tonight, unless you got some substances you wanna share?”

“So, on the kids hike this year.....is Sarge bringing Crash or is Crash bringing Sarge?

LMAO!

You two will have a blast---birch brings pudding cups!”

“Apparently crash is bringing drugs to the kids hike.

... real nice!”

“hey, thats unfair slander. this was a drug hike to start off with. birch and sass hijacked my trip and made it a kids hike”

“I can't believe you're insulting my five year old daughter Sarge. Thanks for taking the fun out of one of the best threads on TT.”

“You should have had me on ignore Sassafras so as to preserve your style-over-substance fluff thread.”

“Very cute story Sass. I keep meaning to scan a page out of one of Emma's books to send you. It's called, "Fancy Nancy." Very cute kids book. Gigi is another good one.

I wish I could make All About the Kids”

“Dayhiker, Fancy is the keyword of the month! Ab keeps asking me why I don't dress fancy more often, lol. The kid takes forever to get ready to go anywhere as she has to load up her arms with plastic bangles, etc. The cover of "Fancy Nancy" looks like Abby, right down to the puffy duster the kid will not leave alone! We'll have to get a copy.

I wish you and Emma could come too.”

“You absolutely have to get a copy. One line talks about how she wants to learn french because everything in french sounds fancy.

Each time I've read it to Emma lately I try to decide which page would be the best sample to scan and email. I'll try to remember to bring it back to work after lunch and send one or two.”

“I'll look for it at the library today.”

“Found it. Amazing similarities! Thanks for the tip.”

“Hope you like it. The line about her family even eating with their pinkies up always cracks me up.”

“What cracked me up was the illustration of Nancy's room. Abby "decorates" her room all the time and will tie ribbons around her drawer pulls, etc. When we turned to that page she oooohed and awwwed. She was also quite thrilled with the glitter on the cover. =)”

“The Gigi one I mentioned is another good one. A girl's dad always calls her princess so she thinks she's a princess and she acts like royalty around her friends.

A friend of ours oldest daughter asked her mom one day if she was really a princess and that they just weren't telling her. I think she was 6-7 when that happened.”

“Ha! We have a friend whose seven year old daughter asked her how she expected her to be a diva with these clothes.”

“My niece's little 1 & 1/2 year old girl is kinda hard for them to keep track of. Very independent and has a mind of her own.

They have a big boa snake named Pumpkim as a pet in a big aquarium. My littlest niece is not allowed to see pumpkim feed. They are afraid it will freak her out to see pumpkim eat a live mouse.

My nephew in law had put a live mouse in with Pumpkim while my little niece was in the kitchen eating. After a while they noticed she wasn't in the kitchen.

All they heard was a "ut oh" from her in the Den.

That was all the reaction she had to the boa eating the mouse.”

“That's hilarious SS.

Weekend before Fathers Day we went to the Georgia Aquarium and the Smokies. We camped at Smokemont on the Cherokee side, which was first for us. We had told the kids they'd get to see real Indians. When we pull into town Emma is looking around and asked my wife, "Are they in the woods?"

We told that story to a friend at supper and she asks Reece if he saw any Indians. His answer, "Yes, but they were dressed as humans."

I see that we have a little cultural sensitivity to talk about and how all people are humans.”

“Our little one invited herfrind Hannah to come along to the beach with s yesterday. Hannah lives about two blocks away from an Indian (from India) church. It was letting out when we dropped Hannah off yesterday around 2:30. Abby asked her what it was.

Hannah's response was it was a special church for black people because they have to be seperate! I told them both the truth of the matter immediately but thought it was an interesting conclusion she'd come to. Threy just don't understand much about different cultures yet.”

“Abby:" It's good and it's not good so I don't know but I do know that I love you"

That statement is a thing of beauty!!!!”

“i'm gonna have to try that line on my wife tonight.

depending on the delivery i'll either get some or it'll put me in the dog house.

prolly worth a shot.”

“While on vacation 2 weeks ago, we're at the picnic table by our camper having dinner. Our youngest (4) really didn't like the chicken that night. After coaxing her to take a bite and chew it, we ignored her for a while hoping she would continue on her own.

Suddenly we noticed her well-chewed bite of chicken was sitting in the middle of her plate, in a neat pile.

"Hey, what's that on your plate? Did you spit out your chicken?"






"Daddy, I didn't know that fell out of my mouth!"”

“I was driving home last night and my 3 girls were in the back seat, and they all start joking about "if you have any poo fling it now" from the movie Madagascar. Well before I know it I'm involved too, and we are all coming up with little modifications and songs and what not. Then it hits me: We have a Family trail name now...




We are from "The house of Someflungdung" and my children are Flung Poo, Mon Keypoo, and Funky Monkey! LOL! I am still smiling this morning...”

“That is some funny stuff”

“Ha Ha Ha
Funny!”

“this thread is offensive to all pieces of shlt”

“so are you saying you have been offended, or that it doesn't bother you at all? ;-)”

“I was play fighting with my son a couple of days ago. He would do the karate kind "Crane manuever". I would say, "Ahh, your kung fu is strong," in a very poor attempt at a Chinese accent. We spared a little and then I backed off. Reece says, "Is that all you got? Is that all you got?" That just cracked me up.”

“My two year old was wrestling with my foot the other day. I asked her what she was going to do with it. She says "Throw it in the trash" who knows where she came up wit that.

So I says, "You can't put it in the trash, it's connected to my leg which is connected to the rest of my body.

She just gets up and runs out of the room.

I yell after her.."Where are going.."

From the other room without skipping a beat..."I'm going to get a knife."

I don't know if I can go to sleep around this kid :)

I couldn't stop laughing...she was going to take care of the problem.”

“LOL! Wow, you better be carefull when she gets older! LOL!”

“LOL @ both!

IJ, I wouldn't sleep around that kid.
Her problem solving skills are impressive. Just have to teach her some values. LOL”

“Last Friday we ate at a local BBQ place for supper. The next morning Reece is up early and we hear him in the garage in the van. He comes back in and nothing is said. Last night he's talking to my sis on the phone about his Cars gameboy game. He suddenly starts crying. We ask why and he says he left his game at that place with the pig on the door and that it's on the table next to the ketchup bottle. We ask if he just now realized it and he said no, he was afraid we'd get mad that he lost it. He'd left it at the bbq joint. I called them around 11 and sure enough they had it. He's going to be one happy camper when I get home.”

“Bryan listened to MY music last week for a change. [it was in the car, so he had no choice].Soul Assylum's "runaway train" was playing.

he started to argue that this is a country song, and I argued back that it isn't!!!

at that one part of the song he explained and copied the lyrics: "wrong way on a one way track??? mom that's not country? THAT'S country!!!!!"

I had to laugh so hard. I still disagree. it's not country right?? please tell me it's not country!!!”

“It's country ; )”

“It is sooooooooooooo country!”

“Gem's from the country and she likes it like that.”

“Any song with trains in it is 'country'.”

“Mmmm, blues music has lots of trains.”

“Quit sucking up to Gem, dayhiker. ;-)”

“And her example didn't specifically mention trains.



How you feelin?”
