Silly Kid stories

[fireheart]

I had a cute kid moment at work the other day.

I was supervising the little ones with handwashing. Evidently one of the classes had been performing for their assembly and as such, were dressed up as zombies and monsters. One of the boys had two masks wrapped around his neck. When he came up to wash his hands, he asked me to hold his masks for him while he washed his hands.

Afterwards, he took one of the masks back and told me I could keep the other one.

(to clarify, "Llittle ones" means kids who are in preschool-Year 1. We have a few preschool kids on Thursday afternoons)

Oops, just to clarify (since I can't edit my own damn post at the moment -.-), when the kids come in, they drop their bags off, sign in and wash their hands before getting afternoon tea.

One of the other little ones has adopted the nickname of "firecracker." Why? because she will literally be standing there one minute, then bolting off the next giggling for no apparent reason. She's adorable and hilarious.

Khan began preschool a couple days ago. I picked him up the first day and the lead teacher told me he got his fingers caught in a door and cried a bit (he's fine). I had to sign an incident report (for pinched fingers?!) and under Treatment Administered they'd written:

Cold Water and TLC

I should do that next incident report I have to fill out

Those are done more as a CYA measure in case something else goes seriously wrong. (ie kid starts vomiting and we're monitoring them, we fill out an incident report and the kid then starts vomiting up BLOOD we have a record of what happened)

My son: "It would be funny if people had a hinge on their heads and their brains fell out!"

I wonder if I should start warning his preschool teachers when I drop him off...

There is a Wizard of the Oz book that has a group of people with flat heads and their brains in cans.

I think he got the idea from a Shel Silverstein poem. I wonder if people still read him, I found my old books and decided Khan was old enough to hear it. There's a lot of death and dismemberment and grusome stuff in his work now that I think about it...none of that sanitized bullshit they try to feed kids nowadays.

What, like old Looney Tunes cartoons?

Grimm stories FTW!

I was thinking of Tom & Jerry or Herman & Katnip....Looney Tunes ain't got nothing on either of those series when it comes to violence.

Khan, seeing an avatar on my computer of a rabbit tapping his foot: "What's that rabbit doing?"

Me: "He's angry, I guess."

Khan: "He's angry because he doesn't want a girlfriend."

Me: "...you don't have to have a girlfriend if you don't want one. It's not required or anything."

Grimm stories FTW!

We have a beautiful edition of the original stories, illustrated by Arthur Rackham. We're going to wait another year or so before we read it to him, I think he'll be more accustomed to stories without pictures on every page by then.

FB friend's 2-year-old son last night said hello to the moon and the stars, then got annoyed when they didn't say hello back.


This comes from a friend's 5-year-old daughter. Yesterday (Sep 1st) was Fathers Day in Aussieland.
she went to hug her father and instead of saying "Happy Fathers Day" she instead said "Happy Mothers Day." Oops.

And finally from my cousin's 4-year-old son, she has recently bought herself a piano and is teaching herself. (Sidenote: her son LOVES playing the drums, we suspect that it's because she let him play with my dad's set at a recent gig)
Comment from her child the other night: Mum if you stop playing music, I'll be able to hear the TV, you need to get off your chair."

Today Lil' Zel got me:

LZ: Mom, what is the biggest number in the whole wide world?

Me: I can't tell, sweetie, you can count into infinity...

LZ: Yes! And infinity has a number! Just like this! (draws '∞' with his finger)

Me: Touché, m'lad. Touché.

Me, as a kid.

Mum was cleaning the walls. I was "helping".

"Mummy, does God like clean walls?"

"I don't know, dear. Why don't you ask Him?"

I go outside, shout to the sky, wait a moment, come back in. "He said he does, Mummy."

A little bit later....

"Mummy, does Santa like clean walls?"

"I don't know, dear. Why don't you ask Him?"

I go outside, shout to the sky. Wait a moment...

"NO, NOT YOU GOD! YOU'VE HAD YOUR TURN!"

Friend's daughter announced to her "Mummy I want a baby in my tummy. I really do."

Ok kid. (Daughter is 5)
