Does this fall under "stuff one would be better off not knowing but you want to know anyway"?  

Probably.

My daugther (5): "Mommy, was daddy a bad husband today? I'm gonna take him to quickie-jail!" ( quickie jail=a little game she made up with her brother.) I see a future in law enforcement for this girl! She makes sure we all follow the rules.

about a year ago (my son was 6) there was a commercial with a circuit board on it..  my son said to me one day "Mommy look at all those Microchips".. there were about 8 or 9 of them on the board..  I said "yup those are microchips.  where did you learn that word?"..  he said "i don't know..  i just know it".. 

my son is a math whiz..  he's constantly doing things in his head..  i'm always hearing things like "mommy when you were 21 daddy was 34"  "mommy when you were 25 daddy was 38"  "when daddy was 40 you were 27"..  "you're 29.. my teacher is 33..  when my teacher is 40 you'll be 36"  the math statements NEVER end..  and he's always right..



be carful he might end up as a computer cracker...... or worse yet an actuary.

hope for economics, give him the book freakanomics when he is like 12 or 13...

I drive Lauren (7) to school everyday. When she was in Pre school she would ask every so often to go the the doughnut shop by our house. My answer was usually no because we were always running late. One morning she said "Dad you don't look late. Are you late?" I answered "No, I think we are on time today"

Lauren - "Good then we can stop for doughnuts, right?"

Damn, She is going to be an attorney for sure.

My son loves the Nintendo 64, but he prefers games that involve mazes rather than action (although he's gotten really at kicking his papa's butt in Quake!). I'll post the picture in this thread tomorrow after I pull it off the camera.


my mom swore she would never buy me a game system, and she never did. my love was LEGOS. i had so many and i would make stuff out off all my pieces, (not the junk that they were designed to make... boring) it was a great creative outlet for me. im sure my mom loved stepping on all those LEGO pieces i had strewen about the floor.

i got my first game system when i was in HS, and i bought it myself with my money i had from my job.....

Lara - 2006-02-27 12:30 PM jake is very much into the first person action games.. Men of Valor, Halo 1 & 2, Spiderman 1 & 2, Sponge Bob, Star Wars (not the RPG one), Medal of Honor.. etc.. this is all his dad's influence.. i personally wish the xbox had never entered the house..

Davis has been taught Nintendo by his older brother and sister, and his mother also spends time playing with him. She has been very careful to keep the emphasis on games that involve puzzle solving rather than 1st person violence.

He has also been taught to quit playing the Nintendo whenever he gets too frustrated. He goes to the Y regularly with me, along with his baby sister. I don't let either of them watch too much TV (no cable or sat here, just DVDs) or play too many video games. I make 'em get out and exercise.



what my mom did was i didnt have a "system" but i played puzzle types of computer games. her rule was 30 min of free playing time (and we had one of those kitchen timers, i hated that DING). after that i had to read for 30 min to get 30 mins of playing time. i was in 4th grade reading jurassic park, and the firm. By the time i was in HS i was reading my brothers college ethics text books. the reading rule i will use when i have kids.

Recently my husband was cleaning the toilet and wanted "credit" for his task.   He called me in to see what he was doing and my 5 y.o. son came along for the viewing.   When I said to my son "Wow, we need to give your Dad credit for cleaning the toilet", my son responded, "No Mom, you should give him a quarter!"  ;-)

When my son was younger he used to call backing the car up, "beeping the car up".

 Napking instead of Napkin..........

One morning while dinning out with my daughter and husband at a local bagel shop, my daughter sees a cat.  She yells "I love titties.  Daddy, don't you love titties?"  My husband's face was bright red and everyone in the store was howling.

 The list goes on and on.........

Is she your youngest? My daughter is the youngest and she runs the ENTIRE HOUSE with an iron fist... er hand  



Yes, she is the youngest. I've never seen such big attitude come out of someone so small. I frequently have to remind her who the boss really is. (er, that would be me!) She is no shrinking violet, that's for sure! I love her spunk though.

Geez, I'm jealous! My son, who is in 2nd grade, cannot do math to save his life! He is now 1 year behind in math. What I don't get is he builds, and builds and builds like crazy. He's actually eerily good at it. Legos, K'Nex, Magnetix...he has it all! He made me a fruit bowl out of his K'Nex because he thought I was mad at him and he wanted to make me happy. Doesn't it take some math capabilities to build?? Well, he is so uninterested in it, that it is virtually impossible to get him to do math at this point.

On the other hand, he is a phenomenal reader!
