Kids say the darndest things

“jimmy san, any good parent has given their kids ALL the info. and if i have to explain to you what a woman's cycle has to do with sex and procreation, well holy crap, that would just be too sad, lol! telescope with a mouse?!”

“ok...now hold on! Before that question I did NOT explain to my son how to fit panty liners into panties. I was really hoping he never needed to use panty liners.

He knew what they where, and why some women use them, but that was about it.”

“what would be so wrong if you had Gem?”

“She didn't say there would be anything wrong if she did, just that she hadn't.

Let's take a menstration argument to a different thread.”

“so our son is leaving for the summer to work at a boy scout camp. I told him that I don't start new job till Aug and that I might want to go and help out (I am co-leader of troop) at the camp for a week. well he turns to me and says, "maybe you would rather work in the family campground as a cashier"
WTF?

I guess that was his way of telling me to NOT go to HIS camp. I'm cool with that. I will just stay off the campgrounds and spy :D”

“Those years aren't too far away from me. I'm enjoying it now while Dad is still cool.

Reece asked me this weekend when we were going camping. As soon as it's cooled down. Sat night the 10 pm temp was 87°”

“when i was young, i had a completely wrong understanding of what "dilated to 10, 9, 8 etc..." meant

i didnt realize it was a measurement of the cervix, i thought it was the outside, plus i thought it was inches, not centimeters. i mean, hey, a babys head is about 10 inches, right?”

“I think we were in labor and delivery before I had a full understanding of all of that.”

“that could be the inspiration for a good band name: "10 inch vagina"”

“dayhiker, Savannah keeps chastising me for not taking them camping. I scheduled us for Spam's Lost Cove trip, but it turns out thats the release weekend for the 7th Harry Potter book so thats a no go. So now we are signing up for the Hiking/Whitewater Rafting trip on the New River. They shouldn't complain after that one.”

“My son text messaged me Sunday and asked me "What makes you happy?"
I replied "hugs"
He said " I want to marry a girl as sweet and creative as you"

woooo hooooo!!!!”

“Is his name oedipus?”

“Nawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..
Hey son just has good sense.”

“OMG......no....he's way too young for me...


...lol..hahahahahahaha...
:)”

“He's really a good kid:)”

“I am not way to young for you ....”

“I'll bet you are..”

“you must like ancient mofos like nowslimmer and nimblefoot.”

“lol...hahahahahaahahaha.....”

“hyway, yes, a southern kids trip would be great. HPM have been scheming for one in the Smokies.”

““My son text messaged me Sunday and asked me "What makes you happy?"

actually he said "fun and creative"

:)”

“To continue with the "outside" thing At dinner sunday night we were talking about O-U-T-S-I-D-E and the Madster says "'Side!!

WTF? She's 17 months old and can spell "outside"? I think we're in trouble. LOL.”

“Laurel figured out Z-O-O and U-N-C-L-E around that age too, Dicentra.”

“is this some sort of backhanded comment toward HPM's brother?”

“but we JUST (like this week) started spelling things out!! Smart kid! :D”

“This week our church is doing vacation bible school. They actually do a bit of science...go figure, but that's a good thing because Reece's first grade class sure didn't do any...but I digress, anyway, Emma's class is doing a little experiment. The kids have some sort of balloon or ball, I'm picturing a ping pong ball, and have to make it float. All the kids immediately starty blowing on it. Emma looks around the room, walks over to the AC register, and tries to make the ball float over the register. She concluded it was too heavy. One teacher turns to the other and says, "Engineers kid!"”

“di - last year another father and son went backpacking with my son and I. The other boy was about 4. We pull into the lot and there was a No Camping sign. It was talking aobut the parking area. The 4 year old looks out the window and says, "No Camping? I thought we came here to camp. I want to go camping!" His dad was shocked.”

“That's awesome dayhiker. :)”

“Reading at four? Very good.”

“Kids seem to be getting smarter....”

“Gracie can memorize like me. Barbie listens to, "Leaving on a Jet Plane," a lot in the car. I was driving with Gracie last night singing to a Neil Diamond song on the radio. She got tired of listening to me and started singing the John Denver tune. I was not paying attention at first, but I soon realized she sang the entire song, word for word.”

“It's amazing how they can remember music.

I just downloaded this whole thread just in case the server changeover eats it. I've got some dang good rememberances going back 2 years on here.”

“SS, Reece has a good friend his same age. They were in the same school for kindergarten. They had to move him to a private school because he was reading on the 4th or 5th grade level. Dang smart kid.”

“What she can do now at 2.4 amazes me. She can count to 50, ABc's perfectly, and she remembers a lot about geography. By this I mean, we visited her great grandfather at his apt a few months ago. We went again last Sunday and she remembered the area. She had no idea we were going, it was a side trip and I decided at the last moment to go, and she said, "We going to see Pop Pop?"

Swear to god, she will be smarter tan me by her fifth birthday.”

“When Reece was that age he'd freak if we were taking him to the park and took a sidetrip to go by Sonic for a picnic. He knew we weren't going the right way and would go nuts. They're amazing little things. We just don't give them enough credit all the time.”

“my kids have to pay cash. no credit”

“Swear to god, she will be smarter tan me by her fifth birthday.”

May be sooner. ;-)”

“Left myself wide open for that one.”

“LOL.....too true....when my eldest was learning to drive, she got the wonderful privilege of driving with a one adult, a 5 year old, and a 3 year old....the two younger ones were giving her correct direction to Grandma's house.

“I was talking to my daughters about the chery festival we are going to this week, and said there would be different kinds of cherry jelly. And my 6y/o says "are you gonna squirt a bunch of cherries and make us some jelly?" and then she makes this juicy squishy noise with her mouth. That was all I could handle. I had to laugh. Then I said "no I'm not making any jelly while we are there." LOL! Glad she didn't see the humor in what she said.”

“I was changing clothes in the bathroom and Emma walks in. I'm buck naked and was walking to my chiffarobe to grabs some drawers. I need to learn to lock a door. Anyway, I kind of shuffle past her and she says, "Daddy, I promise I won't laugh." What would you laugh? "Because you're naked, I won't laugh since I saw you naked."

I'm not quite sure how to deal with that exchange.”

“you should have said something about shrinkage”

“Lol Dayhiker!”

“tell her not to point while she is not laughing also”

“LOL!”

“Here's a kids say the darndest thing for sure. Reece is here at the office with me. We're eating lunch together and he looks at me, gets up, gives me a hug, and says, "I Love You Dad." This isn't going to last too many more years, but it's nice while it lasts.”

“That is so incredibly sweet dayhiker. Even if he stops saying that to you, like when he becomes a teenager, keep telling him that you love him. That's when he will need to hear it the most.”

“I was glad he was here to eat with me. He and his sister are in a wedding tomorrow. Emma is the flower girl. The flower girls are going shoeless down the aisle. Mom and daughter are getting their feet done now so he was dropped off with me during lunch. He's making me lots of Transformer and Pokemon artwork right now.”

“He just commented, "These are the good old days, right dad? Yes they are.”

“He sounds like a really cool and happy kid! You two are obviously close. How old is he dayhiker?”
