Kid's been saying "car" for a while now but hasn't been able to say "truck". Now it's sort of morphing and has turned into the word "cock", which is awesome as he's watching videos of monster trucks on fire and yelling HOT COCK HOT COCK.

My little brother as a kid pronounced the "tr" sound as "fw" which obviously lead to me and my teenaged friends goading him into saying truck you, etc.

My kids got sick last week with more terrible viruses; this time only one of them ended up in the hospital and it was only for an overnight observational stay. It completely consumed our weekend and last night, due to dehydration, he was VERY gassy/constipated and spent most of the evening complaining until he let out a massive fart at 3:30 AM, stopped screaming and fell asleep.Apparently he's pooped a million times today. Better that than screaming like he's being murdered or coughing up both lungs, though.― i like to trump and i am crazy (DJP), Monday, March 21, 2016 2:08 PM (Yesterday) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Max is Henry and Beatrice's cousin. He is 3 month younger than Henry. He lives in Australia.
One night Henry was getting angry because he had to do his homework.He suddenly declared:
"I don't hate God but I HATE everyone on this earth! Everyone!!! Except Max. God and Max.'
I texted this to my brother who told Max. He said Max laughed but also nodded like he understood. Cousins.

We were playing "Say Anything" (kind of like Cards Against Humanity, but for kids).
Question (for Ben): What headline would I (Ben) most like to see?Me and the wife wrote "Ben Wins Gold Medal" and "Videogames More Healthy Than Reading."
Owen wrote the winning answer: "Ted Cruz Assassinates Donald Trump, While Getting Shot By A Bazooka."
Question: What would be the weirdest thing to collect?

Little kid: I I I/I am your butterfly/I need your protection/be...my...samurai... I think "a mee mo samurai" is easier to sing than "be my samurai"Me: Well, sing it however you want, I guess. It's your song now. Little kid: Yeah, I got the ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle, I got uuhhhhhhh, Eye of the Tiger, Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb, and...Hey - I haven't heard Cherry Bomb these days!

When our son was pre-school age, he used to entertain us by singing along to 3 by Britney Spears, a song about threeways. Or a song about numbers! He's in an advanced math class now so I don't give a shit.

Little dude will eat a cup of yogurt, maybe two, every afternoon if we let him. I say "if we let him" because I sure as hell ain't going to buy 20 cups a yogurt a week for the boy.
But I went grocery shopping while he was napping on Saturday and brought home enough yogurt to fill the refrigerator drawer.
When he woke up and immediately pivoted to the kitchen, he exclaimed to his mom, "Oh cool! The yogurt respawned while I was sleeping!"

both of my kids have started saying 'Oh Em Gee!' as a visceral, knee-jerk response to amazing (to them) turns of events. like it is just a genuine, non-ironic expression of amazement. which is amazing, to me.

One of my two-year-old toddlers has begun expressing a keen interest in identifying car logos. He is pretty much 100% accurate on:
ToyotaHondaBMWMercedes
He's about 75% accurate on:
MazdaNissan
He has problems distinguishing these logos from the Honda logo:
LexusHyundai
So far he does not give two shits about American cars, which means he truly is My Child

There have been many "humorous" potty-training false starts because he has looked out the window and shouted "Toyot!" which we have then interpreted to be a request to be put on the potty.
