Family jewels? The things kids say.

[Valgal]

So I was making dinner the other day and Eden (my almost-5-year-old) comes in doing a little sing-song like this, "Kick 'em in the family JEWELS, kick 'em in the family JEWELS."

me: "Uh... Eden? Where did you hear THAT?"

her: "The Sandlot"

she's been way into the Sandlot 2, which I obviously haven't been watching with her.

me: "Oh really?"

her: "Yeah. The boy falls down and the other ones say, 'Aww! He's fakin'!' and then the other boy says, 'Kick 'em in the family jewels!' "

OMG. I didn't make a big deal out it otherwise she'd go out of her way to say it more often.

What bizzare things have your kids said recently?

[Charla]

Not quite as good as the family jewels, but Jasmine was "playing" Trivial Pursuit with us (she had one of the guys that we weren't using.) She'd move him a few spaces on the board and say, "cwap." I guess she's heard us saying that more than I realized!
And today at lunchtime, she went upstairs with DH. She had brought her doll's stroller with her, though we usually tell her not to. DH was telling her she couldn't carry it back downstairs, and when she tripped carrying it (not on the stairs), he said, "that's why you can't carry it on the stairs. You might get hurt." She replied, "it's okay!"

We were at Target and walked by the bra section and Declan(5 1/2) announces loudly...look mommy there are those things for your n.i.p.p.l.e.s.! :omg_smile :embaresse

[KimberlyGiarrusso]

Awwww how cute are your guys kids! Awww!

Ok here is mine:

Right after we found out Jack was a boy we took the family to a place in Havasu that caters more towards the 65 and older crowd. So it was pretty quiet in there and we were the only family. We sat down and started talking about the baby and Braydon and how they would share a room. Then Braydon said (on the top of his lungs) "I am so freaking excited, I have wanted to sleep with a boy all my life!!!" I was sooooooo embarrased but it was sooooo stinkin' funny.

[scrappinmichele]

LOL Kimberly! That is hilarious!!!! I think you win the prize. I can't even think of anything that funny right now.

Mine are more embarassing lately. My 4 yr old is really into pointing out fat people to me and telling me they need to work out like I do. But he'll say it like this, "Fat lady, you need to exercise like my Mommy does!" And of course he says it when we're in the checkout line or some place where I can't make a quick getaway. I never know what to say!!!!

We were at Target and walked by the bra section and Declan(5 1/2) announces loudly...look mommy there are those things for your nipples! :omg_smile :embaresse

OMG that sounds like something Maggie would say!!!

Maggie has been watching Peter Pan and she's been saying, "I'll git you the rhythms" which is her version of "I'm slash you to smithereens!" lol I think I like Maggie's version best.

Don't forget her version of the Cinderella song "Sing Sweet Nightingale"..."swing swing Mom's in jail" I hope she's not predicting something! lol I'm not sure what I'd do to land myself in jail, but you never know!

[YvetteSanders]

Mine comes up with tons of strange stuff!

When I tell him he can't have something because I don't have any money (this was my excuse after 10 minutes of explaining that you just can't have everything you see), he says - let's go buy some!

His favorite thing when told he can't do something is to say "When I'm bigger...."
So far when he's bigger he will:
1) have a big belly like Dad (OK, this one cracks me up!)
2) wear Mom's makeup
3) break my arms when he hugs me - this one was this morning, haven't quite figured it out yet!

[Valgal]

omg, i am rolling
i loooooooooove Maggie's version of things.

[jpysgrl]

I was waiting in line to buy some bras. As we get up to the counter Zoie tells the lady checking us out "Those are for my moms big boobies" as she reaches up to point them out. Lucky for me there wasn't anyone else around, but the lady sure had a good laugh.

[chloe]

So far when he's bigger he will:
1) have a big belly like Dad (OK, this one cracks me up!)

ROFL, my little brother used to say that. Don't know why, but my mom and I found it cute, and my dad didn't! LOL

Oh, and he also used to go to bathroom and then scream 'til all neighborhood knows about it: "Moooooommyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, I'm done, come and clean my buuuuuuuuuuuutt!" It was hilarious, especially when he did it in the "backstage" of my grandparents' shop, and every customer could hear him!! Very commercial, isn't it?

[sinead]

This morning she informed me that she would have big boobies, too, when she was older and had babies. Like when she's six. Um...no dear, no babies when you're six. Twenty-six, maybe, but not six. She also informed me that when she's four she's going to have a baby brother. (I'm not sure who the Mom will be, but I'm fairly certain it won't be me! lol)

[sinead]

oh and she's got a song she sings (at the top of her lungs) when she goes potty--"Peepee in the potty, peepee in the potty, WHOO!!!!" no matter WHERE we are. lol hey...whatever works, right? I don't embarrass easily thank God!

[dawnb]

Today we were in Target, and I was trying on nighties. I need something to wear at the hospital, and when I get home, cause I'll have a c section. I also am tired of wearing the same thing every night. any way...

My boys are in the changing room with me, and my oldest, who wants us to get out as quickly as possible, is saying that everything looks 'really pretty' (Um, NOT! They don't have pregnancy nightgowns.lol) and my youngest says, really loudly, your 'nickles' look FUNNY mama!. Thanks, Matthew.

[JennStar]

LOL!!! Yeah, kick 'em in the rubies and sapphires!!

[sinead]

LOL Dawn!!

[KimberlyGiarrusso]

Oh man. I am laughing sooo hard. Out of the mouthes of babes huh.

[TraceyLee]

(i think i might have shared this one- can't remember where, but if you've heard it before, i'm sorry, lol)

a couple weeks ago, i caught Evan (3) playing in my purse. i told him to put everything back, and then went back to cleaning the kitchen. a few minutes later, he walks into the kitchen, hands me my purse, and says 'here, put this up where i can't get it'.

and- this one is new (from today).

according to dylan, my mom is the 'mahmaw with the pahpaw'.

and- not my child, but my niece.

jasmine: how old are you?
me: 29
jasmine: WOW!

[sinead]

hehehe those are too funny, Tracey!

[Charla]

We have a new one from Jasmine.
She was playing with her popcorn popper toy, and asked DH what it was called. He said "popcorn!" She replied "****!" Uh, no, sweetie, not quite!!
(we don't eat popcorn here so she doesn't know the word)

[sinead]

LMAO Charlene!!! That's all you need! Next she'll go to someone's house (or to the nursery at CHURCH) and they'll ask what her favorite toy is. Too funny!!

That reminds me of Maggie's pronunciation. She love love loves the Backyardigans. Her favorite character is Uniqua. Except for a long time she pronounced it wrong and it sounded more like she was saying the N-word in her sweet little voice. Every time we were out somewhere and she said it, I'd quickly repeat "yes, Uniqua" just in case people thought she was saying a bad word!

[meems]

ROFL, these are so funny!

I can't think of anything funny my kids have been saying. Well Henry has been commenting on how F-A-T (for some reason he spells it out) I am and that's why I'm so cuddly.

[dawnb]

LOL Sinead - we had that problem for a while with TRUCK over here. heh.

[YvetteSanders]

OK - got a new one today LOL

just to set the stage - DS's is Owen and we have a dog named Bear

DS was getting his pj's on last night, had the top on but no bottoms, I said something along the lines of "bare b.u.m". He stopped, looked at me very seriously, said No, Mommy, Owen's b.u.m, Bear's b.u.m is out there (pointing to the living room) HAHAHA

[sinead]

LOL Yvette! That's hilarious!

[AngelinaS]

Everybody's in bed here, and some of these made me LOL!!! (SHHHH)...

I'll share a couple. The most recent one...we took all three kids to go see Shrek the Third at the theatre. Before the movie starts there's a van commercial (can't even remember the brand)...but it goes "long live the van" and shows this van morphing through the generations sort of like lava-lamp style (anyone else seen it?)...Anywho, the music for the commercial is the song "We Want the Funk"...let's just say, my two year old LOOOOOVED that song and sang it non-stop for the next three days...and the "the" came out as "tu" and the "Funk" came out as....:O use your imagination.

Then there was the time when ds was about two. We had just gotten a new cat that he called kitty...only kitty came out as t. i. t. t. y. So, we're going through the checkout line (why does it always happen there) and he starts telling the lady that "Mommy has a nice t...." and that Mommy let him touch the t...... and it was so soft and nice....." Of course, I have to jump in to make sure she knew he was talking about a CAT...but we both actually about died laughing.

[sinead]

OMG Angelina, those are hilarious! They sound so like something Maggie would say!

[Valgal]

omg, Angelina. That's rich.

When Johnny was 2 or 3 he kept calling grills 'girls'. And he was so excited when John bought a new one that he would tell EVERYONE, "Daddy has a new girl!"

[Laura_A]

When I was 2ish we lived in Spain and I guess where we were there were not a lot of black people around. We were in the checkout line... yeah, why is it always there... and I asked my mom quite loudly and very concerned... "Mommy, why is that man all burned?"

The other day I got on the scale to weight myself. It's become a common site around our house. Regan asked, quite put off, "WHY do you always have to measure your feet?"

When Regan was about 2 1/2 and pretty much potty trained we were in Starbucks and one of the staff there got to talking with the girls. They started talking about how Regan was a big girl now. The lady asked if she gets to wear pretty little panties now. Regan said, "Yes... and Mommy's panties are REALLY BIG!"

OK, one more...

Riley was 3 and we were eating in the dining facility on base. She had to go pee, so I took her into the bathroom. It had 2 stalls and there was already someone in one of them. Riley is VERY sensitive to smells and gags easily. I got her situated on the toiled and all of a sudden she got all upset and yelled, "It smells like FISH in here". OMG, I got out of there before the other person could see us.

[sinead]

Hilarious! I love the measuring your feet one!

[dawnb]

LOL Laura!!

[chloe]

Rofl!!!
