funny kids

My turn:
Nan my five year old is standing in the kitchen, crowing about her valentines..
Nan: Mom I have kitty ones, puppy ones, spongebob and barbie ones. Just look at all this candy...Mom, I am living Manda's dream. (Manda is her 4 year old cousin)
When Nan was 2 1/2 and just learning to talk she was attempting to carry an armload of toys to her room. Every two steps she would drop something and have to stop and pick it up. About the fourth time this happened she stomped her tiny foot and yelled..."HUCK"...she hadn't learned to make the "F" sound yet.
Tuesday night I was in the kitchen with my husband Carm. We were trying to figure out how the phone company had come up with the astronomical amount on our bill this month.
Me: Those Bastards!
Laney (age 3): Mom I hate bastards!
Me: me too Lane.

so I'm taking a bath the other morning while everyone is getting ready to go to school/work. Ripley, my 3 yr old daughter, comes in and is talking to me as i wash my hair. So she says, " Um, Daddy, So How come you're a big fat guy?"

"WHAT?" i said

"How come you're big and fat?"

"Too much food"

Jamey is obsessed with the Back to the Future trilogy. He has a kid sized motorized jeep in our living room. Yesterday morning I walked in on him standing beside the jeep saying "What are you doing in my car, old man?"

Friend of mine has a 4-yo.

He walks into the room with a booger on his finger.

"Hey! Where'd that come from??"

He looks up all deadpan.

"Sears."

ripley was very upset, because spencer said he was going to give it to his friend at school.

He's clearly your boy.

Have you discussed his spelling with him?

not terribly concerned about it(his spelling) at this point. He is 5. He's been reading a little bit since he was 4, but now, seems to have no difficulty reading whatever i put in front of him. He read both his, and his sister's fortune cookies to me last night. He has difficulty with spacing his words, too, but i think, the more he reads, the better he'll get. You think he gets that from me> you don;t know jinx well enough yet, that's all.
back when we were flirting with each other, but both involved with other friends, i came up a trail that we were hiking to discover, scratched in the gravel," JIM LIKES BOYS".......so, i'll have to give jinx credit for this particular stunt....speaking from a genetic predisposition to types of humor standpoint, that is.

I just overheard this exchange in the livingroom:

Megan is 5, and really loves cooking. She got a just-for-kids cookbook for Christmas, and she and her daddy were going through the desserts section, trying to decide which one to make later this week.

They come to an entry called "Chocolate Pudding Cake," which involves a layer of chocolate pudding topped by a layer of chocolate cake. He reads out some sidebar text to her, which states that "When this crazy cake is baked, you can have your cake and pudding, too. The cake is on the top and the fudgy pudding is on the bottom."

He explains that the first part is a joke, a play on "have your cake and eat it too."

Megan pauses, and then cries out, "Oh, I get it! They say the pudding is on the bottom, because it looks like poop and poop comes out your bottom!"

Sad but true. . .

While singing softly to my little boy-child --he hadn't been feeling well, and so I was rocking him to sleep-- he looks up at me and places his teensy hand up to my lips and utters his first complete sentence to me,


"Mommy, please don't sing."



He still cant stand my singing voice and so I torture him with it at least once a week.
