Funny things kids say

Situation Setup...4 year old niece standing at the front door, looking up at the sky, singing...

Twinkle, Twinkle little star, how I wonder...HOLY SMOKES...THAT STAR IS MOVING!

(It was a plane)

that is what I live with every day.

That is so cute! LMAO! Good stuff.

This last Sunday I ran a race, there was a child about 5 or 6 years old that ran the entire 5k with his mother.  I was walking to the car just ahead of the family and the boy was saying how impressed he was that he ran all that way...all at once.  His parents were very supportive, giving him his just props...then in the middle he says..."was I as fast as the Kenyans racing?"  I about dropped on the spot with laughter...his parents started laughing hard too...It may be one of those ...you had to be there stories, but I thought it was very funny.

oh yeah, got a LOT of those.  Last week:

I picked my 7yr old up from school (I park across the field from his door).  He ran the entire field to the car.  He opened the back door, exhausted, and heaved himself into the backseat and said "Mom, I have GOT to get a Jetpack!"  As if I have been withholding one from him all this time. 

Here's the set up --- My son (3.5) and I are waiting in a crowded air terminal to board a flight. He was standing between me and a stroller loaded with toys and drinks and travel paraphenalia.

He had been given some Skittles by his grandparents as we left after visiting and he was enjoying those and getting his hands and Skittles all goey and sticky. However, he dropped a bunch and I picked them up and said he couldn't eat them now that they had hit the floor(don't think the 5 second rule holds up in public places... actually not at home on my floors either ha ha!) He didn't quite grasp that concept and once he finished what was left in his bag, he began demanding more Skittles. (they happened to be in a vending machine we'd passed and of course his little eyes zoomed in on them and the memory was burned in his mind forever!). "Mommy, there's more over there!"

Anyhow, I said no more Skittles and that he had had enough...I tried to divert him with some toys, offered 'healthy snacks' to which he turned his nose up...etc.. He was stuck on the Skittles obsession. He began raising his voice... I continued, 'No Skittles" and then the full blown hissy fit ensued and he forcefully rocked the stroller and as the stroller went KERPLUNK over on its side, drinks flying, toys falling ---he simultaneously yells "I WANT SKITTLE G*D DAMMIT!!!"

I wanted to crawl under the chairs as I watched all eyes turning toward my little dude and his sugar crazed performance.

Needless to say, his grandparents love sending him Skittles to commemorate my humiliation.

I was in line at the grocery store with kid#3 (daughter) who was maybe 3ish at the time.  Out of the blue she said : "My Dad has a big weiner!"

I was proud and mortified at the same time.
