Silly Kid stories

Vampire toothpaste. Contains real blood in the red stripes...

Oh, not vampire toothpaste. One night Husband was putting him to bed and he protested, "But I hate bedtime! I hate sleeping! And I hate >pause< VAMPIRES!"

[dalesys]

... And I hate >pause< VAMPIRES!"

Especially specially sparkly ones!

My kid told me this morning his tooth is wiggly (he already lost one tooth three months back, this is #2). Losing teeth grosses me out. It even grossed me out when I was a kid. So I told him, "That's great, Daddy will love to see it tonight!"

So I'm getting out of the shower and I hear Husband trying to persuade Son to let him pull it (it was really, really loose apparently). Son is crying that he doesn't want it pulled. I am about to yell down the hall and tell Husband not to push it, when I hear Son say, in a tone of grim determination, "The last one came out as I was eating an apple.>dramatic pause< Get me an apple please."

I can't even describe it. He sounded like an action movie hero. It was so badass.

And when he got the apple, he attacked that sucker with all his chompers, even the loose one. And it was out within two bites.

Re tooth loss, the school I work at is in that prime age group for that. They do a cute little thing where the kid takes their tooth to the administration lady and she gives it to them at the end of the day, wrapped in sticky tape and stuck onto a sticker that says "Hey look, I lost my tooth!" Kid can then give it to the tooth fairy without worrying about losing it.

I caught my boyfriend's son sitting in the fridge.

"My butt was warm."

My boyfriend's response? (Besides, telling him to not do that again), "He is definitely my son."

Reading "A Christmas Carol".

Khan: "Daddy! Scrooge was a trouser because he hated to spend money."

Me: "Scrooge was a MISER..."

... Khan: "Daddy! Scrooge was a trouser because he hated to spend money."

I suspect Khan left off the "... snake, because ..."

So whenever we get wet weather, the kids will come inside in the morning for a quick sing-along before they head off to class. The teachers let the kids pick the songs, which are "kid favourites."

Except that two of the songs make me go

The first one isn't as bad (Okki Tokki Unga) but the second one had me going the first time. The song? "Paddy McGinty's Goat." Now the version that THEY sing is cut down drastically, but the kids are singing about an exploding goat Not all of them seem to get it. (For those who don't know the song, basically the titular character is an Irishman who buys a goat, the goat decides that incendiary devices are food and proceeds to sit right in front of a fire. End result=dead goat)

[Kit-Ginevra]

There are a variety of other songs involving Irishmen and goats,with rather more startling activities than munching explosives.Be glad they didn't select one of them....

I believe the teachers teach these to the kids. It's just more hilarious in that nearly all of the kids (the Kindies especially, the 1's and 2's not so much) seem to have no clue what they're singing about.

The evil part of me wants to teach the kids the words to La Cucaracha

Also, one from the last two weeks:

One of our Year 1 girls absolutely adores my bosslady. For about the last week or two, she's also been telling her "Guess what <boss>, you're going to have a baby next year!"

Yesterday my boss found out that she's pregnant. Not only that, but she's 4.5 months along to boot.

Another of our Year 2 kids has been very cuddly with her.

Niece is adamant that she does. not. like. cheese. Refuses to even consider trying any sort of just cheese (with crackers, in mac n cheese, anything with recognizable cheese in or on it). Tonight we made homemade goldfish crackers. She said, when I mentioned the idea that she LOVED goldfish! You know they have cheese in them, right? Yes, but she can't taste it. Her words. I grated the cheese (extra sharp cheddar), and she helped with mixing and rolling out and cutting and got all excited over them puffing up in the oven. Then ate darn near half the batch!! These things taste like crunchy cheddar, they're awesome. But she 'can't taste the cheese'.

Possibly depends on the cheese texture as well. Really cheap-ass cheese tends to taste like liquid plastic. Also depending on the cheese, melted cheese might not be as recognisable.

Another one I forgot from today.

Two of my kindy kids are sitting at the breakfast table. One of them starts making mentions of the rooster waking him up, so the other pretends to be the rooster while the other one is "asleep."

Here's how it went:

Kid 1: cock-a-doodle-doo!
Kid 2:
Kid 1: COCK A DOODLE DOO!
Kid 2 *pretends to press an alarm*: Stop it alarm, it's too early!
Kid 1: IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP <KID 2>
Kid 2: It's too early
Kid 1 *goes around and shakes him*: <KID 2> IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!
Kid 2 *finally wakes up*: It's 2am! Why are you waking me up you silly rooster!

I was just watching it up until around the point where Kid 2 pretended to press the alarm, then I started giggling.

Found out tonight that niece had never seen an etch a sketch. How has this happened? I have a little bitty keychain one that I came across a few days ago and kept out to let her play with. I blew her mind by making curves after she'd been playing with it for a while and had just about worked out steps. Need to see if I can find a full size one.

At Walmart with Khan, shopping for Santa for a Senior. Our senior wanted ladies' undershorts so I take him into the lingerie section.

Khan: "Ugh! Why are we going into the serious business aisle?!"

So lingerie is serious business at home?
