Silly Kid stories

One night Khan was talking in his sleep so of course I listened in. He's obsessed with Super Mario Bros. right now.

Khan: "I love you M-"

Me: "Awww, he's tihnking about how much he loves Mommy."

Khans: "-Mario."

2 a.m. He comes into our bedroom.

Khan: "Mommy, wake up and come in my room. I need someone to talk to."

Another conversation between a distant cousin of mine and his grandma. Quick note, "kindy" in this conversation refers to preschool. Generally the names vary between states (and documentation).

me.....How was kindy yesterday <cousin>?
<cousin>....awesome
me....it was awsome was it?
<cousin>...yes nana it was awesome now shhh i am watching cartoons

Luckily both of my older cousins are becoming geeks . While the one mentioned above plays soccer and likes to run around, he also likes Iron Man and the like. The other cousin is Lego-obsessed.

So I have one from today that doesn't involve me directly.

At the medieval fair, one of the things my group does is a king and queen for the day type thing. Basically two kids are selected from the audience, then the people who are fighting are divided in a schoolyard pick by the kids. (Which in itself is hilarious...)

Today the kings message to his warriors was: "the best thing that will let them win is a really high engine."



Luckily our commentator was able to hold it in.

While my toddler had a bath tonight, we had the following conversation:

Son: "I want to talk about this." >points to crotch<

Me: "Not sure what there is to discuss, but okay. What?"

Son: "What's this?"

Me: "...your penis."

Son: "No, here!"

Me: "Oh. Those are your testicles. They're underneath your penis."

Son: "My testicles...and this is my penis."

Me: "Yes."

Son: "Okay." >goes back to playing<

Me: "Okay."

Bubbles is being hilarious tonight, and since I didn't want to overload everyone on FB, I thought I'd share some of them with you all

*random, in a serious tone* "I even have an ear!"

"I think I need to fall over now."

Bubbles: "Oh noes, smoke!"
Me: "Don't worry darling, that's just condensation."
Bubbles: *runs around in a circle, shouting excitedly* "Daddy! It's consummation, CONSUMMATION!!"

Today I got to hear a story about G.I. Joe except it was mostly about Cobra because I think he likes them better. Destro and the Cobra Commander were in it a lot. They sent the Joes a variety of gifts, including a giant cupcake, but hid bombs inside all of them so they would explode and destroy the Joe headquarters, and threw all the Joes in the air so they got stuck in trees. They also had a ghost fly to space (because ghosts don't need to breathe) to find aliens to help Cobra defeat the Joes. Soup Pot, Conrad's all-purpose, all-fandom villain made an appearance and sprayed the Joes with soup and honey mustard so they were all sticky. He also appears to be an explosives expert because he made all the bombs.

There was a lot more but I tuned some of it out because it took him THREE HOURS OF NONSTOP TALKING to tell me the entire thing.

khan the storyteller?

[AnaKhouri]

He has made up stories ever since his brain began to produce coherant thought, but this one was the most epic yet.

I kind of remember a weather control machine in there somewhere too.

AnaKhouri, It's official, I totally love your kid. He is just full of awesome. Y'all are doing a wonderful job of raising a great geek kid!

As long as you're differentiating stories from lies, good on you! We need more storytellers

[AnaKhouri]

We actually have had some problems with that. We keep reiterating that if someone asks him a question, he needs to tell the truth, but he can make up stories all he likes as long as he lets us know they are stories.

Khan at bedtime: "I HATE BED! AND I HATE >pause to think< VAMPIRES!"

Join the club, kid.

This kid was cute the other day.

I was waiting in the doctors office to see the GP (I'd seen the nurse earlier, who wrote up a care plan for me*) and this mum was there with 2 kids. The youngest was about 9-10 months (crawling and pulling him/her self up and walking holding onto something, could stand unsupported but not walk). The kid was more-or-less staying in the general area: crawling around near me and looking at the toys their brother was playing with...

Then the mother's name gets called and the baby decides that now is a good time to make a break for it he/she went off crawling towards the back room while mum was distracted.

Just the slowness of the baby earlier and the sudden burst of speed it had when their name was called was hilarious

NPR reviews the new Daft Punk album, and plays an excerpt.

Khan: "Mommy, is that robot music?"

Me: "Oh yes, yes it is. Look, I'll show you."

I showed him a video of them performing. He now firmly believes that Daft Punk is two robots.

Parenthood is awesome.

Calvin's dad is a great inspiration...

If you show him Tron (the recent one), he might be more inclined to believe that.

Although if you really want to blow his mind, Gorillaz is a cartoon.
