Chatter Box
Did your child say something funny today? Tell us about it!
Post it here.
While at Target, one of our baggy-panted brothers says to another, “SHUT UP, MAN!” My daughter, boldly, naively, shakes her finger and corrects him: “we don’t say that.” He knew she was right. 10.09.10
Having a very serious conversation with BeBe today, I tried to express how much I loved her and how thankful I was to be her mother. She counters that she felt so lucky to have gone to Ikea today– equally serious. 10.06.10
Putting on mascara this morning: “Me too Mama. Me too. My eyelashes are grumpy too!” 10.03.10
”I don’t have a purpose.”-B., 2 years, 11 months 10.01.10
Helping Beatrix in the bath, we zoomed in on a leg. ”This part of your leg is called the calf,” I informed her. ”Now do you know what this big part is called?” I asked, pointing to Beatrix’ thigh.”A cow!” she exclaimed gleefully. 1.04.11

This from when I was about three or four.
My mum: Where did you get that assertive gene?
Me: I made it myself!
Love it!
My 17 month old son and I were in the grocery store last week. A nice lady wearing white scrubs and a bit on the short, round side started talking to him in the checkout. As she walked away and told him “bye,” he waved and replied, “Bye-bye Snowman.”
*Gulp* Hilarious! And from such a little one too. He’s a smart one.
Last week I had to get passports for all 7 of my children for our trip to Mexico in February. I had all of the kids sitting across a bench while I held the youngest two. My oldest jumped up saying that her bum had gotten wet and before long everyone was jumping up. Everyone except my sweet Rose. After realizing Rose had an accident, her twin sister Lola exclaimed “Mom! Mom! MOM! Your daughter is weaking everywhere! HURRY!!” As if we weren’t cracking up enough already Rose yelled back “Mom I swear it wasn’t me! I bet it was the bench!”.
Great story, Bentley. 7 children must keep you laughing all the time. Have a great time in Mexico!
Yesterday I told my brother Alexander that he had to blow his nose and he responded, “But Emmy! I can’t. That’s the booger’s home and they are sleeping right now!”
Guh-ross but cute!
The other day I saw an “A” scratched into the paint on the banister so I asked my 3 1/2 yr old Lily where it came from. Her immediate response was “Annabelle did it.” Me: “Annabelle did that?” Annabelle is only 19 months old. Lil, totally serious, “Yep, Annabelle did it. With her crazy toenails.”
LOLOL!
(I did the same thing at my friend’s house as a child, wrote “Teddy” all over his walls in Sharpie and then lied about it. To this day, I am still ashamed. They made me paint over it.)
I did this too- wrote my (not yet 2yr old) brother’s name on my wall trying to fool my parents into thinking it was him!
I made yogurt and fruit smoothies last week for breakfast. My son, now 21 months, was happily slurping away when he looked at me and said, “I’m drinking a smoothie, what the hell?” I’m not sure if that meant he liked it or not!
Also, today at church, when a lady said to him, “Peace be with you”, do you think he could reply “And also with you.”? Oh no, he says, “Mommy fell in the garage.” I slipped on the way out when we were leaving for church. Under the circumstances, I guess I’m lucky that’s all he told her!
I would have to agree. If the stories were intertwined, you’d have some explaining on your hands! Thank you for sharing Boco and please continue to do so!
Hope this isn’t too rude, but it’s been entertaining our neighbourhood for the last few days. A friend’s almost three-year-old, coming down the stairs, saw her father (recently 40 and sensitive about follicular decline) below. She announced calmly, “You are f***ing bald, Daddy.” He nearly collapsed but managed, “Excuse me, what did you just say?” (I should add they are the loveliest family, I’ve never heard them swear in the years I’ve known them… but she was spot on with the observation!)
Out of the mouths of babes. Too funny!
My daughter Anna Kathryn said to my husband and I the other day, “Are you going to take me to the Disney?” I said, “Yes, probably someday.” Then she said, “Are you going to drop me off?” I smile whenever I think of that!
Also, me being very pregnant has led to a lot of funny comments from Anna K. She has informed me that she has a baby in her throat and one in her bottom and that her top baby name choices are Ishkabibble, Row, row your boathead, and Conner (for her little sister)! I adore this child! She also told a woman in the elevator the other day, “I’m hiding behind Mommy’s butt!” The woman cracked up! I love the idea of thisbook because she says so many things and I hate to admit I never write them down!
I totally just realized this is where the kid’s quote goes! Oops! Anyway, I’ll re post:
One of the funniest things my daughter has done to date was pointing at a bag of Rachael Ray dog food and saying ‘piggy’. If you haven’t seen this particular brand, it features Rachel Ray and her dog on the front. It took us a minute to realize that the dog looked like a piggy to her and not Rachael Ray
.
@Boco: My daughter gets a real kick out of church. We sit behind a very large statue of Jesus (usually) and she’ll point and tell Jesus ‘hi’. And ‘peace be with you.’ always becomes one of her favorite foods: ‘Peas be with you!’. She also claps whenever we finish singing and kneel to pray. Church is a great source of entertainment for us!
Wherever you put it is perfect Kristi. Thanks.
My husband surprised me and taught this to our then 22 month old — when I say “I love you” to our son. His daddy taught him to reply with “Mommy, I wuv you more!”
