Silly Kid stories

[fireheart]

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.

A friend of mine has a roughly 4-5 month old son.

Apparently according to him, watching his daddy hiccup is the funniest thing on earth. It makes a good time for his daddy to put food in his mouth though

Kids think the weirdest things are funny. I thought it was just Khan inheriting our collected senses of humor until I saw more kids and realized they are ALL weird.

Fake sneezing as well!

I love Jazzy's honesty: "Mama, the other day I dropped Silver on the ground when I was trying to take her for a walk. It's okay, I put her back in the tank before Danny could eat her and she didn't die. I just wanted to tell you because it was probably naughty."

The other incident which she has explained in great detail: "I thought that the fishies might like to go for a boat ride, because they're pets and they won't ever have a chance to go for a ride on a real fishing boat because they're not for eating. I got soaked while I was trying to help them stay on my toy boats, Goldy and Silver really liked it. Oh don't worry, I tipped the boats over every now and then so that they could breathe! Cup of Tea kept hiding, I don't think that he wanted to go on the boat but I tried really hard to catch him and that's why the floor is wet.

Well, I start my swim teacher training next week.

I suspect that I will have some silly kid stories by the end of it.

One from when I was waiting for my short face-to-face intensive to start, involved a little girl (roughly 2) who was loving the water, then threw a huge fit when mummy tried to get her out of her bathers and into a nappy (diaper). Little girl screamed, started crying and then when mummy FINALLY managed to get her swimsuit off, she decided to go streaking down the viewing area towards the front of the swimming school.
Thankfully it was just them, me and the staff!

Khan found a 'marvel' (marble) on the playground. Last night he wanted to sleep with it. Daddy said no, because it would fall out of bed and get lost. Khan protested vigorously. I finally got the idea to put the marvel in a playing card box, which was large enough that it wouldn't be easily lost.

I checked on him last night to find him sleeping with Tawky Tawny (his tiger) in one arm and the box clutched securely to his chest.

This last Christmas, as all of my family gathered at my Aunt's, we were waiting to open gifts till everyone had arrived. So as the youngest, my six year old cousin, Roselynn was really anxious to open her presents. She kept going back to the tree, looking at the fits, and running back to her mom.
At one point she goes to look at the gifts again, and comes back in to all of us and asks her mom, "Mom, there's presents under the tree for K***a. Who's K***a?" Her mom and I looked at her and said "Roselynn, K***a, is K.K.'s real name." Que Roselynn's expression

She's always called me K.K., which has been a family nickname for me since I was born. I blew her mind.

I spent a little bit of today with my distant relatives. One of them has two children: a 3-year-old and a six month old.

Today I got to meet the six-month-old for the first time.

So I'm going "Hello there, aren't you a little cutie?" He looks at me with a "huh?" expression on his face, then looks at his mum like "Am I meant to do something here...?"



ETA: A friend of mine has a 3-year-old daughter. She's the kid who calls every female she meets "mum" and the men "dad".

Apparently the other night she was cuddled up with her cat, singing "Soft Kitty" from Big Bang Theory to him.
On top of that, she knows the words to the theme song from Big Bang Theory.

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur...

Khan: "I need to go to the hospital."

Daddy: "Why?"

Khan: "My head hurts, my foot hurts, my toes hurt, and my tummy hurts."

Daddy: "Wow, what happened?"

Khan: "I made too much power." >lies down<

(they'd been playing superheroes, so Khan had been 'making powers' all afternoon)

Got another one involving my two distant cousins (the ones I mentioned in my previous post).

The older one (the 3 year old) was wriggling around with his daddy and enjoying time with him. Just as I'm getting ready to say goodbye to everyone, I suddenly hear this massive CRASH and I turned around, thinking that someone had broken a plate or something.

Nope, turns out that 3-year-old cousin had crawled under the table and banged his head coming up. He cuddled into daddy for a moment, then once I'd retrieved my boyfriend from his "man time" and was about to head out the door, he was quite happily reaching for the shortbread cookies on hte table

So, we're in Salt Lake over the weekend, we go out to dinner. While we're there, my 10 year old nephew holds up the drinks menu and goes “This one, uncle Redbeard!”. I see that it’s the adult drinks menu, and I tell him “That’s for grown ups, buddy, not for kids”. “No, it’s for YOU”
His answer when I asked why that drink?
“Because it’s got RUM, of course!”
I shed a tear of joy, it was such a wonderful moment.

Bubbles ran up to me the other day and said: "Excuse me, mummy? I want to be naughty!"

[AnaKhouri]

"Welll darling....no."

Last night Khan got out of bed, climbed over his gate (which became useless once he hit 40 inches in height) and came into our room. As he climbed into bed with us, he said, "I'm sorry Mommy, I didn't see you there. I bumped into you."

God, even when he's aggravating he's still cute.

When I was about 3 or 4 I use to play with the pots and pans under the counter. One day I asked my mother "What's this?" She said it was a flour sifter. But I heard it as "flower" sifter.

Later that day my mother pulled out the flour sifter and found it full of crushed up dandelions that I had picked up form the back yard. She said "Did you do this?" I said yes. "Why?" I said "Well you said it was a "flower" sifter.

Thankfully she didn't get mad. She thought it was hilarious.

Son: "Mommy, I'm Green Lantern!"

Me: "That's cool."

Son: "And you're Kilowog!"

Me: "I thought we were past making Mommy be the big ugly guy."

Son: "No. You're Kilowog."
