Silly Kid stories

[AnaKhouri]

Just to freak you out, the youngest girl to give birth in recorded history was 5.

She had a very rare medical condition though that caused her to go through puberty as a toddler. Her son was raised as her brother.

What SOB put the kid there, though?

No one ever knew. She was too young to tell them (I understand that, trying to get a straight answer out of my 4-year-old is like trying to lasso a steer with dental floss). I believe her father was suspected but cleared.

This happened in 1933.

My 5 year old
5: can I be anything I want when I grow up
Me: I guess, if you work hard in school you can
5: great, I'm going to work really hard and grow up to be a museum
Me: uhh...I changed my mind, you can't be anything you want when you grow up

Right after he started school, Khan told us this girl named Jessica had tried to steal someone's lunch and was reprimanded for it. This apparently happened only once.

The other day I asked the names of some other classmates and he added, "Jessica, the food stealer."

Jeez, poor Jessica. You make one mistake and are vilified for it forever.

My kids refuse to talk about anything that happens at school with me. The other day my daughter got off the bus and was happily chattering away about something. I asked her what she did at school, and did she have fun. Her response, "I'm not talking to you mommy, I only talk to Daddy." Alrighty then.

Then we had this conversation last night.

Me: "You need to come in here right now."
Daughter"Mommy, stop saying that bad word."
Me: "What bad word did I say?"
Daughter"You!"

High school alumni friend-of-mine has a 2-year-old daughter with #2 on the way. (She's recently found out its a boy!)

Tonight she asked her 2-year-old to bring out her pjs so that she could be changed by mum/dad. Next thing they know, she comes out wearing no top and her PJ pants on backwards. So they pull the PJ pants off and apparently in the process of putting her PJ pants on, the nappy had come off somewhere.

Husband (fixing Mom's Kindle): "So your password is 'khan'srealname, with no capitalization?"

Khan: "No Daddy! I DO have capitalization!"

A conversation between Alumni Girl and her 2-year-old daughter. She currently has #2 on the way-a boy.

Child- mummys baby.
Friend- its your baby brother. You're a girl. Mummys a girl. Daddys a boy. And babys a boy.
Child- yeah!
Friend- what do you wanna name the baby?
Child- aj boy!
Friend- haha really??
Child- yeah!! Aj boy!
Friend- ok bubbi. Haha aj boy it is.

My friend's son wanted to name his baby brother "Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight and Friend to Han Solo".

His name is Luke. The dog's name is Indiana.

Also just a thought re the 5-year-old preggo kid. The kid that I mentioned in one of my posts who wanted the baby we suspect may be incredibly gifted. She's tested at a reading age well above that of her classmates and I've seen her hold good conversations with adults (although she hangs around them quite a bit ).
A little followup also revealed that in the case of my friend's 5-year-old daughter, she had a friend in her class who was about to be a big brother/sister, hence the comment. As far as I'm aware, they're considering trying for #2, but not until various health issues have been brought under control.

New one from work. One of my kids has ADHD but handles it fairly well. Last night he bought in this animal sticker book which he's been collecting through a nearby supermarket. He then informed his friend that he had doubles and was going to give them to him.
I praise him for his generosity and he then states "well you're not allowed to have doubles, it's against the rules. (Pause) no, it's a LAW."

After a summer afternoon of splashing and playing in the kiddie pool with step-grandkids, a 5yo girl said about me, "The thing about Automan is, he never said goodbye to his childhood self!"

My daughter did something similar last week. She is potty trained during the day time, but isn't at nap time and bed time, so I stick a diaper on her during those times. The other day during nap time she took her diaper off, threw it away, put on underwear, fell asleep and proceeded to pee all over her clothes and the bed. It was quite a surprise to wake up to.

My 4-year-old has started making up jokes.

Him: "What time do zombies eat brains?"

Me: "Um, dinner time?"

Him: "NO! 8 o'clock! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!"
