Kids say the darndest things

the "cartilage in the zoo" monologue from last spring is killing me

my man's been singing a version of the dreidel song lately:

I had a little dreidel
I made it out of snow
I put it in the oven
Where did my dreidel go?

:D

also when a friend of mine asked him what he should name his new cat, he paused and thought about it and then said "Binky Balls!"

Better than that pizza joke, I'll give your boy that, Omar.

K (3) held up her hello kitty night light to her ear like a phone and said "Hello? Kitty?"

lol

hahaha

It's raining, it's boring....

Ben: "Quinoa is like yucky couscous."

Lol. Kind of otm. Feel even more that way since quinoa was the "last in, first out" when I had norovirus recently.

dancing to michael jackson

"is michael jackson dead?"

"yeah"

"when am i going to die?"

oh no!

3 y.o.

:/

not for a very very long time little bud

;_;

After having taken a picture of him, our 6 year old son:

"Don't put that on facebook!"

After asking him what facebook was:

"It's where everybody sees what you're doing"

Aw. We have a little private "K channel" for friends and family only to avoid putting lots of photos of K in public FB feeds. I always wonder at what point it's going to annoy her that we do it.

"Who invented shoes?"

I did not have an answer

kid in my class today as she left:

"this is the last time i saw you"

(4 y/o)

whoa

creepy as fuck

idgi did she mean time is repeating itself or that she won't be back tomorrow

In a few days someone will ask you when was the last time you saw her

well that's a creepy thing to say too :|

sry :(

LIL BRO: "I remember it happened back when I was eight."
BIG SIS: "YOU WERE NEVER EIGHT."

(Ages 5 & 7, btw.)

Ella usually calls me Daddy, but somehow has decided that when I'm not doing what she wants, she should call me by my first name.
"Pick me up, Daddy!"
"Hang on, just let me put this fire out..."
"Pick me UP, JAMES!"

K just looked at me from her bed and whispered "I will be born."

One time when our oldest was like 4 or 5, he was explaining something to me. I don't remember what he was talking about, something simple, concrete, real. But at the end he qualifies it with "...it this world." Like as if to distinguish it from the other realms of time and space of which we're both perfectly aware.

K just looked at me from her bed and whispered "I will be born."

Kids say the eeriest things.

Before she could actually talk, Ella would look up from her cot, stare at us and clearly say "Death!"

um you guys are freaking me out now

Some of the comments to that article have funnier stories than even the article

I take Kto a Jewish preschool.

This morning in the hallway she pointed to my bag and said "That's daddy's lunch" and I said, "that's right." And she yells, "It's pork! It's pork!"

irl lol

So busted.

Yeah it was really uncomfortable for me in context too, because we've realized the place is too religious for us but we want to keep our daughter there until kindergarten because it's by far the best preschool we've found.

the kid who said "this is the last time i saw you" isnt here today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
