Kids say the darndest things

“Laurel had this whole conversation with HPM. I don't know what he told her in response. She wasn't really asking questions though, just deductive reasoning on her own.

Laurel did just proceed to gross out our new neighbor who is moving in this afternoon. She told her all about the now dead ringneck snake, how it was badly hurt, and it's plant food under the cucumber now. Then Laurel added "I guess we'll be plant food too when we die." That's my girl.”

“treebait, that is classic indeed. HPM, that musta been something.

Last thurs I took abby to the gym. After running I took her swimming. While I was getting ready to change I told her to turn around. She said "I know,I know so I cant see your #&%!$. And besides, I dont see what the big deal is. I have seen a #&%!$ and it just looks like a lumpy hotdog"

I about choked fighting the laughter.

turns out she saw the neighbors toddler cruising about after a changing.”

““ha! ill communication was my second choice. i listen to pauls boutique all the time, i knew that wasnt it”

Actually I think Hello Nasty is there best work ever. Licensed to Ill will always have a special place in my heart thought.”

“hello nasty is a great album. but lyrically and vocally, i think they flow much better on "to the five boroughs"”

“The other night Reece was mad at his mother. Through tears he says, "I don't like you any more." He immediately got double teamed. My wife then says, "But what about you telling me I was the best mommy in the whole world just a little while ago?" Reece replies, "Oh yeah, well I take it back." It was hard getting on to him without laughing in his face.

Yesterday he's telling the story of a little boy in his school that always gets in trouble at PE. "Good-enough(sp?) always gets in time out during PE." Wait, a minute, who? "Good-enough." Evidently, there is a kid in school whose first name is Good enough. I think that tops the classmate named Touche'.”

“As a teacher my wife has seen some great names over the years.

Spatula (say Spat-YOU-la)
Gonorrhea (say Gon-ORR-ea)

With a sprinkling of Lexus', Mercedes'... oy.”

“This is The Greatest Thread ever!”

“Dang, I missed Ruby's marrage?”

“There is a photo on that thread you need to see.”

“What thread?”

“There is a trip report thread from her wedding. I can't recall the name of it, but will look.”

“I will never forget Christopher when he was little saying,

"Bad, BAD MA!, bad!"

He is 24 years old now but this tops everything else and we use it frequently and for everything. Somethings never die.”

“So our pet sitter, a very nice neighbor kid, told his friends all about our animals, one little boy came over with him today to see them and I said ok, and gave them the tour. When I got to Loki, my bearded dragon the kid said "WOW! A real dragon??? I thought dragons were extiinct! Can it breath fire?" LMAO....


I nearly peed myself laughing.”

“You have a pet sitter? What's it eat?”

“This morning I picked Abby up and plopped her on my lap (it was difficult, the kid is getting BIG). I sighed, gave her a good hug and kiss and asked her to stop growing so I could always have her sit on my lap.
She giggled and told me how silly I am and that she can't stop growing.
I said that I thought I'd still want her to sit on my lap when I'm an old lady.
"Moooom, you are so silly, I would break you! But, when you're an old lady I'll let you sit on my lap!"”

“kid's say the sweetest things... :)”

“While hanging out with cousins yesterday, Grace an I were jumping on a trampoline. She fell at one point, nothing bad, and yelled...

D A M N I T!!!!!!!

I said, "who taught you that word?" (My cussing is much worse so it couldn't have been me) She said, "Mommey says it all the time when she hurts herself."

I said, "did you just hurt yourself?"

She said, "no, but it sounded funny."”

“LOL Sass. That's funny.”

“Lol, WK! We already had to get Laurel to stop saying that one. She picked it up right before we moved up here. Laurel spent a lot of time with my mom, and my mom says that word every time she thinks something is going wrong, which is always.”

“That's a goodie WK.”

“Save that story for Grace when she gets older. LOL!”

“Laurel picked up a new word. I have no idea where, but she's walking around saying "That vampire is just a floozie." ??!!?? She doesn't remember where she heard it.”

“After seeing Happy Feet, Reece likes to call most any girl a "mangy penguin." We get some weird looks when he says that.”

“That vampire is just a floozie

buffy the vampire slayer, maybe?”

“Nope, she's not allowed to watch that stuff yet.”

“I'm guessing it's from an episode of Avatar.”

“no vampires on Avatar either”

“No, the floozie part.”

“Dunno. I've never heard the term used. I did hear it on a commercial for Orbit gum though. Laurel now pays close attention to commercials.”

“I have my oldest and dearest friend coming in from Costa Rico (crash you met her) for a visit. After changing into my third outfit, Samantha said that i was being stupid. I asked why. she said that she may be skinny but I have a great husband and we have a great marriage. WOW she is right. I found out that they now have an open marriage. that is so sad. but I love her anyway!

she made me feel better about myself. good kid but I still need to get my butt on that darn treadmill LOL”

“ I found out that they now have an open marriage.

NOW you tell me!

on a more serious note, tell her that i will never forget her kindness to me 3 years ago, and will always be in her debt”

“I was flipping channels on Sat and Matric Reloaded was on. It was just before the part where the 2 white dudes with dreadlocks appear. These are the ones that turn into ghosts. I figured Reece would like the fight scenes so I left it on. He loved it. We get to the point where Lawrence Fishburn falls off the back of hte 18 wheeler and lands on the car below and he is captivated. The lady driving the car then says, "Now go kick his ass!"

Reece hasn't heard this word around the house and he asks me, "His name is ass?" No, that's not his name it's a bad word. "Ass is a bad word?" Yes, we don't use that word, it's another name for fanny. "Oh, I get it, go kick his fanny!"”

“lol!

The Boy believes/d that by just spelling BUTT, it was OK to use.

The good thing about it, is that I'm very happy with his improving spelling skills. He s almost able to crack the parental code (where parents spell "things" out between them in front of children). It's something right out of "Wind Talkers".”

“We don't get to spell in front of Reece anymore. It's been amazing to see how much he's learned in first grade. The last month we've seen a lightbulb go off. He has to read every sign we see when we're out.”

“"It's been amazing to see how much he's learned in first grade."

You ain't kiddin` ;)

The school had these kids handwriting by Halloween. By the end of the school year, The Boy will have entered the world of Spelling, Addition/Subtraction (with some times tables and division) and Writing.

It's good to see the three "R's" are forming a quick and solid foundation for him; he obviously takes after his mother.”

“i'll never forget cracking my parent's pig latin, the look on their faces was really somethin, LOL! i think I was 5 or 6 years old.”

“Eallyra?


The math that they've had has been suprising too. Some days his math skills are like mine then the next day they will seemingly take a 180 and be like his mothers. Weird.”

“Yup, my 1st grader has no problem deciphering our spelling at this point. I think we gave up before Christmas when gift suggestions couldn't be made in front of her anymore.”

“i won't even ask”

“the madster has been saying "shoe" for two days. :)”

“Pamela - for HER, for HER! :-)”

“in the UK, fanny is a naughty word”

“conversely, cnt has much less of a vulgarity stigmatism”

“techntrek, that comment was for dayhiker, LOL!”

“Ah, I thought you thought I was talking about certain naughty Xmas present suggestions for my wife!”

“Pamela, I don't follow? Are you talking about the math skills or my pig latin for really?”

“"“conversely, cnt has much less of a vulgarity stigmatism”
cRaSh BaNg"


I think that the only person who can really make that "c" word sound powerful, vulgar and beautiful all at once is the one, and only, Johnny Rotten. It's something about how he hangs the "t" at the end that is just, so perfect.”

“My four year old neighbor, Morgan, came over to visit me this weekend while I was working in the yard. She loves to look for critters under the rocks in my flower bed. So as she was “helping” me weed the flower bed, she turned over a rock and pulled out a worm. Then she said in her sweet southern drawl, “Miss Cindy, worms are not good for eatin’.” I replied, “How do you know Morgan?” And she said, “Cuz I ate one and they taste yucky." I really like this kid.”

“When you tell kids "you will never know unless you try it"...you just have to accept the results.”
