!!!!kids say the darndest things!!!!

Okay, let's take a trip down memory lane and share some of the funny, precious memories we have of our little ones.

"eyes"

well eyes the warden is napping and I thought about what
my granson kayne did this spring in the greenhouse!!!!

I had planted all myseeds and tagged it one,I was so
pround of myself and told kayne now it's time to clean but our mess.I starting picking up things and puttong them in a trash bag!!!Kayne came up behind me and said ( HERE NANA)
my mouth flew OPEN and I looked at his out streched hand.
THe little fellow was holding all my tags that i HAD
PUT IN MY FLATS!!!! I told him that those were all the names of all the seeds we had planted. He must have relised I was about to cry,cause he looked up at me with those big blue eyes and said (THAT'S ok NANA WE CAN KUST GIVE THEM DIFFERENT NAMES.)and that's just what we did ,because i have
flowers now he calls,sam,bob,blackie,spot,and andy!!!!!
lolo who cares it's my first Grandchild!!!!!!!!
said

Well, nana, I like Kayne's names as well as iris, daisy, zinnia, and petunia. I think he came up with a very good solution don't you??? LOL.

My son when he was first learning to read would sound out everything he saw. While out for a ride one day he tapped me on the shoulder and excitedly told me to turn around so we could go see Auntie Q. I had a hard time convincing him the sign was really for an Antique Shop and not a relative!

My younger son was a real little nut case. We passed a sewage processing plant on a very hot day in LA and while the other kids held their noses and complained, Eric who was 5, grinned and said "MMMM MMMM' Smell that country air!"

My Daughter used to listen to old phonograph records with me. One day in the grocery store she reached up for a green apple and asked me why God made everything else but not green apples. I didn't understand what she meant until we got home and she ran over and put on a record "God din't make little green apples and it don't rain in Indianappolis in the summertime"

From the mouths of babes...

On the farm we had a room which housed chicks and a board which had chicken facts for the visitors to read. Right in the middle was the question....Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

One day an elderly couple bought in their grandchildren for a visit and was telling me about their day when grandad read out the question to the elder grandaughter who was about 8 years old. She pondered on the conundrum for a time and finally said 'the chicken'.

'AHHHH, but where did the chicken come from?' I asked. She looked at me as though I was a stupid child and said, 'From God, I thought that was obvious!'

LOL for the first time in a long while I was lost for words.

Another child who was about 5 and his mother were the last to feed the lambs and the young lad came up at his Mothers request to say thanks. I asked him if he liked the lambs and his eyes opened wide and he said yes I love them, I had one last Sunday for lunch and they are really tasty.

I said, 'But don't you think they are cuddly?' Hmmmm, 'Yes,' he replied ''But I like them in my tummy more.'

my 10 yr old overheard a conversation that i was having with my 15 year old about pre-marital sex, condomes, etc...
a couple of hours later he came up to me and with these huge, brown eyes, says "mom, is andy having PRO-motional sex?" omg i about died..

i had all my cannas fushias and everything else labled in my green house last winter, because so much of it was new i didnt know all the species names and couldnt ID them by looking, i had my niece to visit for a couple of hours while her mum went to town, i was busy tidying up and doing little things, she decided to help, she came to me and said" i am helping you to tidy up" and handed me all my lables, every single one of them, now wasnt that nice of her, lol, good job i like her really isnt it.

I suppose you wanted anecdotes relating to gardening, which this one is definitely not....

My current clients (I'm renovating their house) recounted telling their 22 month old that, "Yes, Mommy did that as a small child, and, yes, Daddy did that also." The child responded, "When you and Daddy were small, I was still a big girl then."

#2... My best friend and her husband brought home their first (and only) child to the house they bought when first married. When the daughter could finally talk, she'd cry, "I want to go home. Please take me home."

... it does give one pause to wonder, doesn't it?

This thread does not have to be of children in the garden, for they are
our "other" garden that we must
nurture........

This one just happened to me. My eight year old "wonderful grandson" decided to practice his golf swing. I had watered the grass early this morning so it was still damp. I was busy watering flower beds and he just kept swinging. He was so proud of himself. He kept saying, "Hey Nonny(my granny name) watch me! Course I would say " Good job Sweetie!" but really I was paying more attention to my flowers. Then he says, "Look Nonny you won't have to dig up anymore grass to make more flower beds!" I ran over to see those big blue eyes and that look of pride on his face and all I could do was say, "Wow, Oh my, Gosh! Your right Cowboy(nickname I call him) you sure saved me alot of work, let's plant some flowers!"

OK, a few stories:

My husband wants to dig up the back lawn and put in a new one. Problem is, we're not ready to do this, so he thinks he can dig it up now, and plant the new lawn next spring! I told him I didn't want a giant mud pie in the back yard for 6 month and what was the point. My 11 year old son say, "Besides, Dad, birds will come and plant weeds in the dirt". We don't know where he heard this, and we thought it was pretty funny. I asked him, "Do you know HOW they plant seeds?". He had to think about that one. I finally told him! :)

This boy also went to work (construction-my husband's a contractor) with my husband and his crew one day. It was a Friday. When he came home, we were talking, and I said, "I wonder if Dad is working tomorrow?". My son said, "Oh, no, Mom. Dad said he was going to get so drunk tonight that he wouldn't be able to work tomorrow!" lol! My husband is NOT a drunk, really he's not!

My two year old daughter likes to go, "Moooooo!" whenever we pass the milk section in the grocery store (blame Daddy for this one--you can guess what she says when she gets chicken nuggets, too).

One more, about my oldest son. When he was 9, and still believed in Santa Claus, he was starting to hear from friends that there is no Santa. On Christmas morning, I got up early and went out in the living room. I was looking at the tree and presents, and I noticed a tiny piece of paper sticking out from under the tree. There were two notes under the tree skirt. The first one said, "Santa--if you are real, when I wake up, this note will be gone". The second one said, "Santa, I believe in you!". Of course, I took the notes! I still have them. He's 14 now. Someday I'll show them to him!

Wow there are so many. Lets see, when my oldest was 5 and getting ready for kindergarden, I was still able tosew and made most of her clothes. I was making her a lovely jumper. She asked "what is it mama" and I tolded her "its a jumper" and her remark was "how high do I have to jump in it"
I laugh for hours and kept on sewing.

Rated PG:

When I was in pre-school, my mother got a call from the teacher. "Mrs. X," she said, "Kimberley forgot to bring her item in for show-and-tell today, so she told the class where babies come from". My mother, when she stopped laughing, said, "well...was she accurate?". The teacher responded, "Yeeeeessss...Actually, she said the baby grows in the mommy's tummy...and them comes out her 'pah-china'."

I've gotten my terminology down since then, but I won't demonstrate. ;o)

ROFL!!!!!

This happened when our oldest daughter was around 3.
We were in Sears shopping one day and she said,"Mommy, I gotta go potty." Told her that I would take her in just a minute. Well, the next thing I knew, there she was sitting on the display commode in the store. She finished her business, got down and said,"Mommy, I don't have to go anymore, I just went all by myself."
I did help clean up the mess by the way and I think since then, that Sears store put clamps on the lids and put a sign up...not for public use. Talk about being embarrassed. I think I turned tomato red.....deep red.

So parents or garndparents with little ones, if they say they need to use the rest room.......DO NOT wait...go immediately and take em......You just never know what might happen.

Post Haste, my dears.....run, don't walk!! You gotta love 'em!

I can't understand the Kids say the darnest things tv show... How can the kids be so silly? Odd-..

When my kids were little, we had another couple and their children over for dinner one evening. The kids had all of the toys out of the toy box playing and having a grand time. My son, Neil, was wearing a cowboy hat and his toy gun holster. It came time for the the family to leave, meaning it was time for the toys to be picked up. Neil looked at me, and in a very serious voice, said "Cowboys don't pick up toys!" and he walked away. We adults had a very difficult time holding our laughter till he left the room!

Another time, the same couple was over and we were discussing going to see a movie. We were wondering where it was showing. And Neil came to our rescue. He told us that "It's a theater near you"!

*Sigh* Neil's been gone 4 1/2 years and I still miss him everyday.

Evert! You are so mature that we forget you are a young man!
I don't know the show but most of the really cute things are only cute because the kids are so young when they say them! I bet when you were 2-5 years old you gave people a few chuckles too!

:-) But still.. there is some kids almost my age and they say so silly things.. that is what I wonder.. Yep I bet I've been little silly too ;)

Sharon, hold tight to those memories that make you laugh! Julie

Well... A friend and her daughter were out to lunch one day.
They were eating at a restaurant that had sports memorobilia on the walls.
Jessica- who was about 3 -4 yrs old- pointed to two sticks on the wall and said, "Mommy, what are those?"
Her Mom replied, " Oh, those are for lacrosse."
Jessica, after pondering the answer a moment, said, "Gee, Mommy, that's where Jesus died?"

This happen a couple of weeks ago, I took my son grocery shopping, while we were walking out to the car the bagboy ask my son how he was doing today & my son answer saying Great, It a Great day to look for girls. I said WHAT & me & the bagboy laugh . (my little 5 yrs old son is a big time flirt, OH NO LOL)

Hi Julie,

I do hold onto those memories that make me laugh and treasure them dearly. Those memories help me get through the rough times.

When my Grandaughter was about four years old, she looked at my hair which was badly in need of a touch up, the dark roots showing beneath the blonde and said "Me Ma, why is your hair striped like a tiger"? I had no good answer but had a hard time keeping a straight face.

Or when they say, Gramma, how come you and Granpa 's tummies are so nice and fluffy like a pliiow?

One spring day when my daughter was 2 years old she was playing by the house while I was working in the garage. I checked every couple of minutes to see her happily playing in the grass with her toys. A couple of minutes is all it takes to pick some pretty flowers though. All my tulips that were planted along the house and were just on the verge of opening up had been proudly gathered into a "bouquet" with one inch stems. What could I do but say, "Yes, those are very pretty flowers. Make sure that you always ask Mommy if it is OK to pick flowers before you pick them." We had red tulips sitting in dishes all over the house. She's 5 years old now, and I make sure that there are always plenty of flowers planted for her to pick for bouquets.

my grandaughter, age 6, recently helped me do the watering in the garden. after a while she said "grama, did we make enough mud yet?" :-)

my nephew was only 3 or 4 and we were walking through a Sears Department store when he ran up to the display of bras and said.."look mommy bubby holders." just as loud and clear as can be. well we laughed so hard, he continued with his exclamations: LOL

another time we were all gathered around as a family. my nephew was the first and was again abouty the same age. my father made a reference to sex and my nephew says"
"Never had it, Never will.Ha, Ha , Ha ,Ha." LOL Remember that 7UP commercial? I'll never forget it. :-)

Evert you have been hanging around here long enough to realize that it is not just the kids who say the dardest things! Sometimes we adults get a bit silly too!

LOL :]

I was baby sitting my three year old grandson and he was helping me in the yard with different chores. I let him water and a few other things while I was dead heading some items with a pair of scissors. He kept wandering around to the side yard and I would make him come back where I was when I missed him. Well I missed him and called him and he ddidn't come and I went around to see what he was doing and he had slipped the scissors and had cut my Japaneese Kerria down even with the ground. I hollered Jamie what have you done and he said, "but Paw Paw it needed to be cut down." I said I guess it did. I lost a Japanese Kerria and gained a lifetime memory. Another time he was visiting and was outside with his older brother and he came running in the house hollering I saw a coyoteotteotte. He made the coyote a four syllable word.

When my two were small, my son about 4 delighted in aggrevating his older sister about 7. He was constantly bothering her things and couldn't stand it when she had a friend over and he didn't. One day the girls locked themselves in the bathroom for privacy. He then proceeded to kick the hollow door so hard that he knocked a hole in it, just the size of his little cowboy boot. I asked him why he was so mean, his response was "Boys are supposed to be mean". I could write a book about this one. He is now 34 and has 2 little boys of his own and a preteen daughter - hooray.

Talk about getting one's come uppings!!

When my oldest son was 4 yrs old, he had an obsession with toy cars and trucks just as all little boys do, but he
especially loved the big trucks. That
Christmas season, we took them to see
Santa at the mall, as per usual. I can
still see this little 4 yr old, red-curly haired little cherub climbing on Santa's
lap and just hugging him as hard as he
could. Then Santa preceded to ask him if he had been good. He of course
replied that he had, anxiously darting a look to me. Then came the big question, "what do you want Santa to bring you?" Without further hesitation,
came an exehuberant outburst; "I want a Stinkin' Truck!!!" Santa looked first at my son, and then at me with the most bemused expression. It was clearly time to explain that what he meant by a "stinkin' truck" was that he wanted a toy
Fuel Tanker.....he loved to watch them and every time one would go by in traffic, he would hold his nose and say..
.....yep, "stinkin' truck"!

"eyes"

That reminds me of what one of my former co-worker's little girl once said as she looked out the window and saw a familiar black critter with a white stripe down its back...

"Oh, look, Mommy...A stunk! A Stunk!"

She got that right!!

We had a funny just the other day. My husband has a collection of 45s and a collection of 78s (I think that is what they are-LOL, could be 33s???). Anyway they were his grandpas. He has kept them for years for sentimental reasons. Well the kids were in the basement playing when I heard a ruckus and asked what happened. My six year old yelled up that the two year old was in 'the giant cd's'. First I yelled at them for messing with them, then stood in the kitchen dumbfounded between laughter (giant cds) and tears (Am I really THAT old???).
On anatomy, they used to refer to males as having 'peanuts' and girls having 'ginuses'.
When my six year old was about one and a half, she was sitting in a chair watching tv. On the weekends, we sometimes have 'picnics' in the family room. Well we were watching a 'Planet of the Apes' movie. Suddenly they went to a commercial and she started screaming 'dog dogs, dog dogs!'. LOL She thought we had changed the channel.
Gee, I could list these all day long! Four kids, four mouths. ha ha ha
It is fun to read all the other ones.

We took Tom (6) and Jessie (3) to Niagara Falls today - one of the seven wonders of the world - and when we got home Jessie told her mother all about feeding the sea goggles french fries at lunch!

the rest of the story:

Julia (eldest daughter and mother of Tom and Jess) told me yesterday that after hearing about the sea goggles 10 or 12 times, she said, Jess, they aren't sea goggles, they are sea gulls. Jess turned to her and in her most patient, I'll explain this only once 3 year old voice said, But Mom, I can't SAY sea gull!
