My 2 and a half year old today, in the car on the way home from daycare, talking about his friends:
- "Who's your favorite girl in the class?"
- "Ummmm... Ms. B!" (the teacher)
- "Really? And who's your favorite boy?"
- (thinks for a while, then flashes a big smile and proclaims, while raising his arms in victory) "ME!!!"

OMG I love him so much. What did your kids say today?

Last week my 5 yo son was preparing for a field trip to the movies.
Him: "Mom, I need money for snacks!"
Me: "Well dear, don't you get an allowance?"
Him (appalled): "I don't want to use MY money!"

I almost fell in the floor. My 4 yo daughter is quite precocious and constantly saying hilarious things that we really shouldn't laugh at... but I have no examples off the top of my head.

Last week I met my husband and daughter (2 yo) for lunch at a local restaurant. They were seated when I arrived, and as I walked in the door, my daughter yelled out, "Dad! Your wife's here!".

2 weeks ago (in the middle of a "Little Engine That Could" obsession phase), same 2.5 yo boy had a stomach bug and was vomiting a lot. Begs for something to drink. For the hundredth time.

Me: "no sweetie, I can't give you anything to drink or you'll vomit again and that doesn't feel good."
Him: "please Mommy, please Mommy, PLEASE."
Me: "I cannot, sweetie, I cannot."
Him: "yes Mommy. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can."
Me (laughing): "okay then, just one ounce."
Him (after drinking it): "I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I..." and pukes it right back up, mid-sentence.

It's a lot funnier now that he's no longer sick, of course.

Oh oh, I have another one. I am breastfeeding his little sister and he's very curious about the whole process. Yesterday, at the grocery store, we pass a rather curvacious lady with a low-cut blouse. What does he say (very loudly, of course)? "Mommy, this lady has A LOT of milk!"

When I was breastfeeding the youngest, oldest son was 3. One day we were sitting at the table while the older 2 had breakfast and baby was feeding. He said "Mommy, what is she doing?" I said "She's having her breakfast". He said "But breakfast should come out the back!"

my kids constantly crack me up. But how you know your kids are at home with their dad all day is when you come home and your 4 y/o jumps out without any clothes on and yells "I'm naked man" then the one year old follows with only a diaper doing the same booty wiggle with "'na man". Kids can drive us crazy but boy they are funny.

Year 2002 -- Our first child has been asking for a little brother since spring, as Christmas has approached he has asked Santa for a baby brother.

December 25, 2002 (morning)-- little Sweet Boy (4 years old) comes down the stairs, glances in the direction of the tree, which has a number of colorful boxes underneath, and runs back upstairs.

Mom and Dad Sweet(running after boy): What is wrong?

Little Sweet Boy (#1): There is no baby brother.

Dad and Mom Sweet (who is already pregnant): Honey, there is a baby!

Little Sweet Boy (#1) (with a look of horror on his face): You put him in a box and wrapped him up?
--------------------
A half hour later, after the location of the baby has been disclosed.

Mom Sweet: My love, we don't yet know if the baby is a girl or a boy. You will get a little baby, but it may be a little baby sister, not a brother.

Little Sweet Boy (#1) (blinks, sticks his chin up and speaks confidently): Hmm, it's OK, we'll just cut her hair and she will become a baby brother.

Year 2006 -- Sweet Boy #2 is 3 years old, he is getting a new pad for his car seat (since his mom accidentally destroyed the old one ). Mom Sweet reinstalls the car seat and places Sweet Boy #2 in it to go pick up Sweet Boy #1).

Mom Sweet: Love, is your car seat OK?
Sweet Boy #2 (immediately and with a frown): No!
Mom Sweet: What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable?
Sweet Boy #2: No, I just can't drive from here.

(P.S. I actually have a little notebook where I write down things my kids say (otherwise I wouldn't remember any of this) - I wish I could be more conscientious about it though, I have been slacking lately and I regret it, because they have said so many funny things in recent months that I did not write down and am regretfully forgetting.)

Oh my Lord, I can not stop laughing...Baby Einstein your first story hits home because my son is soooo into the little engine that could right now...how hysterical! and Sweet..thank you for the wonderful idea, I am going to get a notebook to write down anything cute my son says...

Hes still kind of learning to put words together now, but one funny thing that he picked up from his Papa is thinking that my name means "come here"...When bf calls my name from the other room, I come right away...so my son screams my name at the tops of his lungs at home, at friends houses, and at day care, whenever he wants someone to come towards him!
