Silly Kid stories

[Kit-Ginevra]

no but i remember a rocket and a slide. I think my sister and I imprisoned our little brother in it (he was 3, I was 5 ,she was 8)

They're thinking of letting him out of there some day soon

My mini roses do (and they bite when touched, so no touch is kind of self-reinforcing there). .

She calls them Audrey...

[Kittish]

She calls them Audrey...

First time the roses demand to be fed, then I'll start calling them Audrey. Which, come to think of it, should be in a couple of years, when they've grown well into their container and sucked most of the nutrients out the dirt.

WHY is it that nephew (a toddler) can be having the time of his LIFE but the instant his mom walks in, he starts crying. Grrrr. He doesn't do it when his dad picks he and his sister up. Grrrr.

My daughter just discovered how to open our cabinets. We have the cleaners and things locked up but we have a big cabinet down by the floor that's full of canned foods like beans and tuna. She likes getting in there, taking the tuna out (she'll leave the beans alone), and slide the cans around like her own version of air hockey.

My son, watching some fishermen, asking me "what kind of fish is that?"
"Muskie" I answer.
Him "How do you know that? You don't even have google right now."
Me "People know things, they don't need google for everything."
Him "That doesn't sound right."

Khan is going to a Reds vs. Nationals game tonight with his daddy and for some reason he thinks the Washington Nationals are called the Washington Georges.

Sitting on the bus when I feel a light tug on my ponytail. I turn to see a black-eyed toddler of Hispanic origin staring at my hair, absolutely fascinated. I wonder if it was the first time she'd seen light brown curly Caucasian hair, or just had a typical toddler's attention span and just happened to find mine fun to play with at the moment. She didn't pull hard, so I didn't really mind. She was cute.

So I was joking about cannibalizing my children, as you do.

Khan: "You can't eat me! I'm creative."

So my hubby and I were talking about this roadside attraction thing we stopped at a few years ago, called "Hole in the wall".

My 11 year old son walks in while we were talking and says "Oh! are you talking about glory holes?"

Cue complete silence while we both stare at him.

He gets embarrassed and bursts into tears. Apparently he heard it on the bus.

Note: Despite the name, a glass blower's "glory hole" is NOT the same as the one your son heard about on the bus. Trying to use it as such will result in an incompetent TV doctor (i.e. Major Burns).

We recently had to take Little Ara's car seat out of my truck temporarily and it's sitting on the floor in our living room right now. She likes to hang out in it with her feet over the side, a book or two in her lap, and a sippy cup of milk on the floor next to her. Only 14 months old and already like Mommy (Daddy HATES reading).

Me, to my long-limbed, skinny-ass son: "You twist yourself around like a contortionist."

Khan: "Look! Can a torturist do this?"

This kid was at a table next to us at a local family diner. Said diner was offering free soup and dessert, a lady across from the kid let him try some and his first words to the waitress after were "Is the soup on the house?"

I was driving through Massachusetts on my way to Connecticut with my kids and they start screaming that we have a bathroom needed now situation, so I get off at the next exit and promptly get lost in Holyoke while trying to get back on the Interstate. My older kid is then talking to his Dad and tells him that we were lost in Tokyo. Guess I was more lost than I thought.

Khan: "I saw a lady at church and her eyes were red. I think she had eye disease!"

Me: "Or she was tired, or had allergies...those can make your eyes red."

Khan: "You know what else makes your eyes red?"

Me: "What?"

Khan: "Eye disease."
