My Kid Said What? Part II

If I was able to keep track of all of the funny things my kids have said so far, it’s possible I would have already written a book. Since I don’t have time to write a book, a simple blog post with a few funny things will have to do. As my kids are getting bigger, it’s so fun to watch their personalities develop. Nothing has changed since my post: My Kid Said What? except I think my girls are getting funnier. 

My kids have a hard time sitting still on our couch. One night, we were in the middle of a movie and Stella rolled right off the couch onto the floor. She casually stood up and said “That was not a soft landing.”

I typically wait until the evenings to fold my laundry while I sit and watch a show to unwind. There was one day I happened to fold in the afternoon, and it was a day that Stella had been a bit mischievous. Our conversation went a little something like this:

Stella: “My brain is telling me to push over your laundry.”

Me: “Your brain may need a spankin’?”

Stella: “But that will hurt my whole body.”

Me: (laughing) “Then don’t touch my laundry.”

I’ve mention before that Talia has pretty bad eczema. She told me once, “I want my itches to go back to them house!”

Our kids get hurt all the time. They have no fear and think they can do whatever they want. Well, my husband got tired of them getting hurt and came up with a saying; he has them repeat it whenever they get hurt. “If you don’t do stupid things, you won’t get hurt.”

Our church has a Men’s softball team and they play on Tuesday nights. My little social butterfly makes new friends at the games and at this particular game, there were two young boys trying to climb trees next the the bleachers. I overheard Stella tell them “My uncles are way better at climbing trees!” Yes, because her teenage uncles are better at climbing than most six year olds…

Talia loves the same drinks as I do. I love Sweet Tea and she loves drinking my sweet tea.

Talia: “Mommy can I have a drink?”

Me: “I’ll think about it.”

Talia: “No, don’t think about it.”

I’m a sucker for an adorable response like that one. 

One of my husband’s favorite snacks are Cheez-its and our girls love sharing with him. Stella said, “Dad, say you’re welcome to my tummy because it is saying thank you for these Cheez-its.” We cracked up. 

Two weeks ago my nephew had his birthday party and my sister-in-law bought a little pool so all the kiddies could go swimming. Well, my daughter Talia wanted nothing to do with it. A few days ago she finally braved the water and decided to get in for a swim. She even came up with a new song. “My Booty’s all wet, My Booty’s all wet” (of course there was a little jig to go with it.)

This past week was VBS and there were a lot of kids around. The girls were so excited. Stella came up to me and very seriously expressed that she had bad news. I asked her what it was and she explained that she had two best friends! What a terrible problem to have as a four year old.  

What have your children done to make you laugh this week?
