Kids say the darndest things

My 3.5 is also fascinated by scary things

5yo daughter last night built herself a voting booth, ballot box and made some ballot papers. (When we vote, she likes to number the boxes (under my direction) on my ballot.)

When I go to sleep in my house I can hear him talking under the ground in the dirt and the worms.

D:

H: Have you seen that video of the boy yodeling in Walmart?
ME: Yeah. He was pretty good at it, right?
H: what do you think he was being punished for?

(I can't hold it in. He's laughing now because I'm laughing.)

ME: I dont think he was being punished. He was into it. Did you see what he was wearing?
H: Boots and a bow tie? He was being punished.

lollll

5yo daughter: "This is Winocchio. He's like Pinocchio, but a werewolf."

That is so cute!

K (6): I'm going to fast.
Me: You know, kids don't actually have to fast for Yom Kippur, only grown-ups.
K: I know, but I'm going to skip breakfast.
E (3): And I'm going to skip bedtime.

Found a list of house rules that my daughter made.

1. do not jrul on my toys
2. dont force me to do tings
3. If I want to do something dont tell me not to.
extera
4. do not sob in the corner

Heck

daughter otm ;_;

My daughter's rules for her room at age 6 or so were

1. No cofee
2. Be Nice
3. Sam (her brother) is oh cay

jrul = draw or drool?

do not sob in the corner ;_;

drool.

Also, she does not sob in the corner. Nor does anyone else in our house. And no one drools on her toys. We're all pretty happy and well-adjusted!

And ymp, I think that No cofee is a great rule for a 6 year old.

my good friend's 3-year old was sitting with us and the Browns-Raiders game was on.

and he wrinkled his little nose and yelled "I WANNA WATCH...NOT THIS!!!"

Normally I’d agree. Turned out to be a good game tho.

In my son's preschool class they show the kids a picture, ask them to tell a story and write down what the kid says. This is the paper we got today: "The Witch flew into the night. A giant came and tied up the witch. The giant got sick and had to go to the giant doctor. Donald Trump ate the giant."

had this fun conversation with my almost 3 year old daughter:

D: I want us to buy a green car without a roof
me: A green car without a roof? what will we do if it rains?
D: paint it another colour

“The Sandman came in my eyes last night”

o_O

lol

"who's the crustiest person in the entire universe"

who

"crustiano ronaldo"

My almost four year old just started talking about dreaming last month - "did you know sometimes there are videos behind your eyes when you sleep? and you can jump right in!".

He also encountered a DVD for the first time, as he had only known about streaming video and the only physical media he's ever encountered are vinyl albums. So he calls DVDs "record movies".

There's also been a lot of Peppa Pig lately, and at times he's started speaking in a british accent and calling my wife "mummy". Note: we are not british.

oh wow, those are all so great.

my four year old K got interested in great british bakeoff when it started autoplaying an ad on netflix. she insists on watching it every once in a while but is only interested if they're baking cakes. she heard mary berry pronounce something to be "scrummy." until the end of the show K kept pointing at cakes and saying "CUMMY!" much to my relief it did not carry on after the show ended.

Wow, that dream quote is brilliant.

Just found a picture of Joygoat's kid getting ready for bed.

(Reading slowly:) “Man... Can... Van...”

Me: Do you know what a van is?

“Yeah — it’s one of those little cars you can live in! When I grow up, I’m gonna buy a van, so I can live in it, and drive it to the store to buy groceries.”

I asked my friend's 3 year old what he was doing, he says

"Trying to hold the poopoos back"

Tonight I was asked why they didn’t change the logo when they made the “lady Ghostbusters” movie, so that the ghost in the logo “has boobs.” SMDH

Me, to 5yo daughter: You're so cute!
Her: That's a common opinion.

3 year old: '[baby brother] snatched my toy ON PURPOSE. He needs to go to prison!'

me: 'we don't put babies in prison.'

3yo: 'they do in AMERICA'


(me in very Alan Partridge voice: 'er, I was probably making a point about something else there')

lol

whoa!

My 4 year old is fast becoming an expert with the ol’ f-bomb (obv because he’s learning from the experts). Leaving a store yesterday evening:
"Fuckin Christ it's a 'lectric door!"

:)

hahaha it would make my day to hear that out at the supermarket

HEY WHATS FOR DINNER COW

POO SIR IT IS THE FRENCH WAY

ok thats p great

Best punchline ever, I will be stealing that

it's like the ending to a Samuel Johnson anecdote

5yo daughter has been treating me with her toy doctor's kit: so far I have been treated for "goose bladder", "savage earlobe" and the dreaded "cushion problem".

three great band names right there imo

just remembered the toast my london-bred niece (11) invented last night -- four of us (her, her parents, me) sitting eating thai and overlooking the hastings sea-front as a police car went back and forth below us

"to the FILTH! we ain't done nuffink"

yessss t1lst3r :D

Magical.

Also, just saw this one:

I told my daughter showing her chewed up food to her brother in public is gross and she goes 'well I'm not here for the people'

had a very confusing discussion about smoking and death with the 4-year-old yesterday in which she told me that when you die your body turns hard and then people give your bones to dogs

son's 4th birthday. the day before, he was being a huge brat so we were talking about what happens if birthdays are cancelled: presents go back to the shop, no cake and you stay 3 forever.

him: so... that means I won't ever die.

Somehow he always manages to win the argument!
