Kids say the darndest things

“Tell me about it, mine are all grown up.

At least now I can drink their beer.”

“awww... I love this thread too! :)

I remember my first day of kindergarden. Back then there was no preschool, and my mother was a SAHM... So this was my first real chance to play with other kids... I came home and said "that was fun! Can I go back tomorrow?" :)”

““Richb, I recall eating paste in KDG. Now they do all kinnds of stuff now. I was amazed at the math and writing Abby had to do last year.

She still doesnt believe that she is a first grader now, she will argue the point. Kinda funny.”

I cut off a girls pigtails the first time we got to use siccoris.”

“LOL, at least Austin stuck to cutting off his own hair!”

“I think, as a mommy, that would make me cry!! :(”

“My daughter loved kindergarten. When the first Saturday rolled around she was very upset to find out that she didn't get to go to school that day.”

siccoris??

What kind of disease is that?”

“Sissors? I kant spellz”

“We were just at Laurel's new school, filling out paperwork. I find it interesting that Laurel has enough immunizations to start school in Florida, but needs several more doses to start school here. We started to leave afterwards, and Laurel said loud and clear"Mommy, don't I get to stay here? I want to learn new stuff!" I really hope she keeps that attitude the first day of school, when she gets evaluated for what group/ level she gets put in to.”

“lol...wait until she becomes a teen...it's a whole new ball game then!!!”

“Not always, my daughter was great all through school (a little nutty in college) and still is:)”

“...lol... My oldest daughter was ALWAYS good...
...my next daughter, whom I call "the evil one" was always a stinker...but a good kid...my youngest a boy was always good...but didn't like going to school and was a night owl...still is.....getting him up for school was a chore!!!!!!

I LOVE my kids.....wooo hooooo!!!!!!”

“My oldest (9) just got back from a 2 night trip to Holiday World (amusement park in IN) with her Girls Scouts, and my middle one (6) asked her as they were getting in the car "Did you have fun at Hollywood?" We all cracked up. Poor kid. Her big sis explained it to her quickly though.”

“lol...how cute!!!!.....”

“:-)”

“The "nekkid" thread just reminded me of something Laurel said on tuesday. IT was really hot ,and at several of the horse farms around here the male horses had it all hanging out. I guess that helps them cool off. Laurel noticed this and said "Mommy whats wrong with their thingies? Are they going to fall off?" I laughed for a while at this one, but forgot to mention it to HPM thanks to an SUV almost running me off the road at that particular moment.”

“LOL... That's one of those moments where you have trouble explaining something like that.”

“I never had a chance to even try to explain, going from laughter to dodging a lady in big SUV, cell phone in one hand and coffee in the other. She knows they're just something boys have and girls don't. It was a little embarrassing on last weekends trip though; Reece had to pee, and Laurel was curious about him going while standing up. SHe kept trying to watch, and HPM just about had to pick her up and walk her down the trail to keep her from staring.”

“that is tooo funny!

Yesterday we had eye appointments, and turns out Austin needs glasses. I should have known...all last year when he was trying to read the little homework books, he struggled. The odd thing was that he'd miss the same word over and over, even in the same sentence...like "the"...turns out he just can't make the words out.”

“I remember when I was little being amazed that this horse I saw in a field had five 'legs'. My mom just didn't have a satisfactorily answer as to 'why'.”

“My brother just got back from the birth of his third grandchild.
While there, he and wife kept his three and five year old grandkids.

They took the kids on a nature hike while Mama was 'busy'.

My brother has worked with an elderly lady for many years, and it understood if anyone in the office goes on vacation, they are to bring her back a pretty rock, as she collects them.

The kids were getting cranky and he told them to 'find a pretty rock for his girlfriend', to give the kids something to do.

As the wife, he, and kids returned to the parking lot full of people the three year old little girl screamed (completely seriously) "Paw Paw! I found a rock for your girlfriend!"

“I'm sure those people were wondering what the rock was for.”

“The kids ate lunch with me at the office. I hadn't seen them in 6 days. I asked Reece, "Do you know where mommy and daddy were?" He replies, "Jamaica mon!"

Yea, mon, that's right. We got a big laugh out of that.


Good stuff SS.”

“Wile diggin down around the foundation in the front of my house last night, Grace looks down on me in the 4 foot deep trench and says, "Daddy, you sure are small."”

“Oh god, Laurel just figured out the tongue tattoos that are on fruit roll ups. She's running around with what looks like an easter egg pattern on her tongue.”

“I was sitting at the table eating breakfast with Mountainrunner's 3 year old. He started farting at the table. I said, "Are you tooting?" He said, "No I not tooting. That's my booty talking!!"

I almost spit my cereal across the table...

Good times :)”

“Speak o' toothless one.....”

“Austin got his glasses yesterday...
When he put them on, I asked if he could see better. He said, "I could always see - I just couldn't see near and I couldn't see far..."
LOL, the logic of a 6 year old...”

“Anytime Gracie toots, she looks at me and opens her mouth real wide.

me: "What do you say?"
Grace: "Excuse me, I'm a lady."”

“LOL, WK.”

“LOL... on that cute logic as a 6 year old sees it.”

“:-)”

“honeybunches, too funny.”

“This evening,HPM asked Laurel what she wants for her birthday. She said she wanted a rainbow tattoo, a unicorn tattoo, and a flower tattoo. No more catching any "L.A. Ink" for this almost 5 year old. She was really impressed with Birch and Sass's tattoos by the way.”

“LOL, go ahead and get the lower back butterfly!


Yesterday Reece was really good at school and his teacher gave him a Reese cup. I think this is how the story started.....He commented that his friends Eric and Trae would be good as well so that they could get an Eric cup and a Trae cup.

Emma was really good at school yesterday and she asked her teacher, "Aren't you proud of me for being so good for you today?" Last night was PTA and her teacher told my wife that she looked forward to having Emma in her class and they would have fun, but that Emma sure is a "Social Butterfly." Tell me about it!”

“Sorry Treebait!
Make sure she knows they feel like a thousand tiny cuts when they go on. Abby went from a list of ten to never wanting one at this point.”

“:-)”

“I was laughing pretty hard.
I told her she can get anything she wants when she turns 35.

Though I have to say there was some pretty nice work on there.”

“But she'll be "old" when she gets 35.”

“One foot in the grave. Ya know.”

“What kind of tats is Emma going to get, dayhiker?”

“a barbed wire and roses armband”

“HPM was around her for about 24 hours and pretty much figured her out. I think that tat would be a perfect fit.”

“And yes, one foot in the grave.”

“Emma must be way different in personality than Reece. I've been around my lil' buddy.”

“Daylight and dark.”

“I have a younger brother and two sisters. Each of us are very different from each other. That's normal for kids, dayhiker.”

“Absolutely. We're still trying to figure out little Addie's personality. She's a pretty happy little baby. She's laid back until she doesn't get her way. I think that's called female.”

“Poor Reece doesn't stand a chance with two little sisters, LOL.”

“We've been doing lots of pillow fighting lately to attempt and get some testosterone in the house.”
