Silly Kid stories

Sounds like brothers My son was telling me about a Pokemon named Jump Rock, I'm not sure if this is a real Pokemon or one he made up.

I am pregnant with #2. We haven't told our son yet (early days) but I'm excited to see what he suggests we name his sibling. He has a stuffed dog named Meat Roast and an imaginary friend called Soup Pot, who is a robot and whose mommy lets him do whatever he wants.

Congrats. Also interesting names.

When a friend of mine was pregnant with #2, she asked her 2-year-old what to name the baby. She said "AJ boy" (Her name is often shortened to AJ)

Get him to draw it.

The stories of the older siblings and new babies reminded me of my own kids when they were little.

I did not have normal pregnancies. I wind up hospitalized in perinatal ICU long before I ever really start to show and the babies are always early (36, 32 and 24 weeks). So, the wonderful day arrives when I am finally able to bring home baby number 3. My little one had spent 6 months in ICU. At this time, my oldest was 3 and a half and my middle was 17 months. So, I finally arrive home and greet my older two boys. I sat on the couch with the baby and my middle son asked to hold the baby. I sat him down and helped him "hold" the baby in his lap. He looked at me and said "my baby?" My oldest got all snotty and said "NO! This is MY baby. If you want one Mommy can go to the hospital and pick out another one for you."

I suppose since I was always put in perinatal ICU long before I ever started to really show, my oldest just assumed that I spent all that I spent all that time in the hospital shopping for babies.

Me: "I need to come up with a title for my book."

Khan: "I know! 'The War Battles of the Blob Monsters'."

Me: "I'll take it under consideration."

At least it's not "Meat Roast vs. Soup Pot."

Which sounds like a great cookbook...

Me: "Pick those up. How did you get Cheerios all over the floor anyway?"

Khan: "It's a long story."

One of the kindergarten kids today at work:

She was walking with one foot up on the edge of the playground, one foot on the ground below her. Her description?

"I'm walking with one high heel on!"

I also had one kid at another service who had made "chatterboxes" with the kids (think cootie-catchers) and had the kids write the messages. One of the kids had "Do 100 jumping jacks". She kept trying to get me and my manager to do them!

Freaking weird...

We have said not a word to my son about the new baby. But today he was climbing on his old car seat, which is in the basement. My mom told him to stop. He said, "We're keeping this for the new little one God is making for us."

...wha?

We took the kids out to an indoor play place. On the way there my husband was teasing our daughter. She told him, "Daddy can you please be quiet for 5 minutes? I'm just trying to get to the slides."

Her newest phrase when she doesn't get her own way is "This is dediculous!" (ridiculous).

Then today after work I went to change the baby who had a dirty diaper. I laid him down and he caught a whiff of his own diaper and asked me, "Eww! Did you fart mommy?" No son that smell is coming from you, not me.

Kids are often brighter and more perceptive and more aware of what's going on around than we give them credit for. You may think your son doesn't know about the new baby, and you may not have consciously said anything to him or around him about it....but that doesn't mean he hasn't picked up a whole bunch of clues.

Khan: "Play that f***ing music white boy!"

Me: "FUNKY! Play that FUNKY music!"

Oh dear.

That sounds like something that'll be coming out at his 21st...

[AnaKhouri]

To clarify: he was TRYING to say 'funky', it just sounded wrong.

Yep. Definitely 21st birthday material. Or wedding day material. (seriously, the speeches at the most recent wedding I went to had the groom's family ribbing him for things that happened as kids. The groom also made a speech about how he'd gotten all of his groomsmen and asked the bride's father for permission to marry)

[Kitten in the box]

My cousin's son at seeing our intact male cat. (we got him fixed shortly afterwards)

Ryan: Lookit. the kitty has 2 butts. he has big a big fuzzy butt and one tiny one.
Me: (trying not to laugh): thats not his butt.
Ryan: yes it is. see? one butt is for pooping, the fuzzy ones are for peeing.
Me: thats not his butt. daddy will tell you about it later on when you are older.
Ryan: im gonna smack his fuzzy butt. he was a bad boy. *reaches for the "fuzzy butt"*
Me: NO! don't touch those! *trying not to laugh i take him to his father*

we went to the fair earlier that year and this little girl randomly started talking to me. the topic was of the horse we were looking at.

Girl: thats a big horsy huh?
Me: yeah. he's pretty big. i bet he'd be fun to ride.
Girl: yeah. i'd like to ride him to my pre-school
Me: wow. i bet all your friends would want to ride him too.

the conversation was going well. mom and dad even chimed in on what we were talking about.

next came this:

girl: hey look! the horsey has an utter.

*keep in mind this horse was a male.*

Me: thats not his utter. he's a boy horsey. thats where he makes pee-pee
girl: no, thats his utter. if you squeeze it milk comes out.
Me: uhh..no...thats where his pee pee comes out. he goes potty with that.
Girl: no, thats his utter. his milk comes from there

*by this time mom and dad are in hysterics. they try and tell her that i was correct. that was a boy horsey and he makes pee pee from there. they appoogize laughing. i grin and say "i have a nephew like that so its all good."

all in all it was a pretty interesting day to say the least.
