Silly Kid stories

[Mishi]

Jazzy and Bubbles know that they are not allowed to draw on the walls.
Their paraphrased excuse: The walls are really very boring and need to be a lot more prettiful, and we know we're not allowed to draw on the walls... so they drew many pretty pictures, cut them out with fancy scissors and proceeded to glue and tape them to as many walls as they could while I was in the bathroom.

As the story goes, typical of my childhood from what I understand.
I once got myself stuck in a tree while my older cousin was supposed to be keeping me out of trouble (considering how he, his brother and I were, I have no idea why he even tried). I meowed until found, then was lured out of the tree with a cup or can of soda. On the way back into the house he tried to bribe me not to tell, except little Squeaks was just so thrilled with her kitty cat antics that she proceeded to tell all the adults, it was a family party, quite a few heard about it.
After that he figured out that telling his little barbarian of a cousin that he wouldn't get her an invisible pet dragon was a better bribe....come to think of it he has never gotten me that invisible pet dragon.

OK THAT I can see happening. Although it might be worth introducing them to Blu-Tack

When I was a kid we had this bucket in the backyard that was used for the sandpit toys (said sandpit is LONG gone). I discovered when I was a kid that I could sit in it butt-first with my hands and legs poking out the other end. Dad took a photo, then we had to tilt the bucket over so I could get out

First it was the Aircraft ADD, now it's cats. We really need to meet up one day because Bubbles is somehow taking after you!
Lately, she's been climbing up as high as possible and then meowing for rescue OR throwing down one end of a skipping rope and yelling out "Yee-hah! I caught you 'cuz I'm a cowboy!". Bubbles is randomly running up to me, licking my arm or leg, barking and then running away laughing.

@Fireheart: My two wouldn't trash the house with flour, but they have made some interesting sandwiches and breakfasts* when I'm otherwise occupied. They're clever enough to time things so that they have a lower chance of interruption. No Blu-tack, they keep trying to feed it to the dogs.

*I was woken up one morning by Jazzy who was dressed in an interesting conglomeration of clothes and announcing "I've already had breakfast. It was Weet-Bix with milk, sugar and rainbow sprinkles. I'm all dressed and I woke up Bubbles for you, she's on the potty." The sandwiches were created while I was hanging a load of washing, they were: margarine, peanut butter, marshmallows and raw sugar on wholegrain bread. I caught Jazzy just as she was adding jellybeans and choc-chips, and talking to Bubbles about adding sliced banana.

Ah. I think my mum set up a massive blackboard in the family room to stop me from drawing on the wall as a kid . Nowadays they have blackboard paint and somewhere I've heard of magnetic paint (don't know if it still exists though). (for the record, the magnetic paint is designed for the vinyl magnets)

A friend of mine has a 3-year-old daughter who has a tendency to call every woman she meets "mum" and every man she meets "dad". I think the next Medieval Fair is going to be VERY interesting...

When I was about 3 I wandered off from my family during a trip to the city. I ended up in a police station, at some nice officer's desk, drawing pictures. Unfortunately for him, he'd left his lunch on the desk. He came back to find his desk covered in paper and mandarin scraps.
Truly I was the most daring criminal they'd ever encountered, committing my heist in the middle of the police station! Fortunately I was cute enough to get away with it.

We just bid a job that called for Magnetic Paint to be used in a room

Me, Khan and my Dad were at the zoo, looking at the orangutans. Some woman was standing there in her cell phone. She said to the other person, "I'm just here at the zoo looking at some..I guess they're monkeys, some kind of chimp or something."

Khan piped up helpfully., "They're orangutans!"

The woman glared at Dad because he was snickering. But as he said later, if you're going to display your shocking ignorance in public, you deserve to be corrected by a toddler (and really, orangutans? Only the most distinctive-looking of the large apes? Seriously?).

[dragon_wings]

to Khan for the pwnage. That's awesome.

[XCashier]

Henceforth he has been known as Mister Peanut.

I think he needs this costume for Halloween.

At a recent fundraiser dinner, an elderly woman in a wheelchair was dressed to the nines, but also obviously not feeling welcomed....Mister Peanut and his sister, Sissy, who was 7 at the time, went up to the 80+ year old lady, looked her in the eyes and asked if they could get their picture taken with her because she was so pretty. Apparently you could have cut diamond with the gleam from her eyes at that.

Awww. That was so sweet of your kids. Definitely a trait to be encouraged.

Indeed. Not to mention, there was probably a sign in front of the cage stating what the animals were, so not only shocking ignorance, but aliterate to boot!

Soon to be former Idiot, may we introduce The Librarian? He will cure your ignorance.

[Mytical]

I have one of myself, but am a bit worried it would be a bit much. Has a racist comment in it. It turned out funny, and a nice moment..but not sure if it is ok to post it because of the comment...

Anyhow..Kids do say and do the oddest things.

Khan piped up helpfully., "They're orangutans!"

OK, damn your kid is smart My sister wasn't even able to say that at age 2! (the word "woodchip" to her would often come out as "woofchip")

[AnaKhouri]

I honestly don't know how smart he is, I am not around kids very often other than him. If he is above average it's my husband's genes, he's very intelligent and quick to learn. Unlike me.

The other day Khan was playing with some Star Wars toys my brother-in-law got him. There was Mommy Storm Trooper, Baby Storm Trooper, and Daddy Storm Trooper. They made a birthday cake for Darth Vader (who has a 'light sword') and went to the park to play on the slides.
