Funny things they do and say. Share yours

My daugther and i were laying in bed talking about school. She really misses it over break. She's cried everyday to go back. She was telling me about one day she had to sit in the time out chair and that she didn't want to, so she curled up into a ball and rolled out of the chair. When her teacher asked her what she was doing she said "I'm turning into a Cute-cumber"... I don't think i've laughed taht hard in a long while...

My twin girls are 3 1/2yrs old and one day Malena would NOT eat her dinner. I told them that if they ate their dinner that they would get an icecream afterwards. If you dont eat your dinner then.........no icecream. They all ate their dinner except for Malena. She tried everything to get me to give her icecream(except eating her dinner). After dinner plates were washed and put away, left overs were put away she is still crying, whinning for ice cream. After a while she stopped and played. Then all of a sudden she starts crying again. I pick her up and ask her "What is your Problem?" She responds "You Are!" I know its cute now but when she gets older that smart mouth is gonna get her in trouble.

Both the girls were playing with their cousins(their cousins are 14 & 15 yrs old & they live with us). They were wrestling with them. The girls go over to these big boys and say(as they are rolling up their fists) "Are you looking for trouble?"

They both say "Do I make your heart happy?"
When we sing the song "You are my sunshine." They both instead of saying "you make me happy when sky's are gray." They both say "you make me happy when sky's are GREAT."

When my son was their age and we would sing the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". My son instead of saying "like a diamond in the sky" he would say "like a diamond in the HIGH." It took me forever to get in to say "like a diamond in the sky." When I would tell him what the real word was he would say "I like my word."

When my son was younger(he's 6 1/2yrs old now) he use to tell me all the time "Mommy I love your soft arms." That just melts my heart.

Bea takes the bowl and spoon from the play kitchen and tries to feed everything. Ainsley signs "cat" by doing the little whisker motion on the top of her forehead, it's really cute.

 

Right before Christmas, Ava (3 1/2 yrs old) got in trouble at school - she was talking during nap time and got moved to a different location. This is honestly the first time she has gotten in trouble. So of course, Hannah (her twin) could not wait to tell me Ava got in trouble. So I said to Ava things like, you have to sleep at nap time, you better listen to your teachers, I am very disappointed, etc... and not one thing I said really seemed to "get through" to her. So, I reminded her that Santa was coming, and was in fact coming to her school that week, and that he would NOT like it if he heard she was talking during nap time. Her eyes got real big and she put a BIG smile on her face, leaned in to me and whispered "I know Santa doesn't want to hear it, so I will not tell him when he comes to school" and she walked off, very satisfied with herself.

About 2 months ago I was sitting on the couch in the family room with my 5 year old and out of the corner of my right eye, I could see Hannah walking towards us from the playroom with a smirky smile on her face. As she walked in front of us, I saw that she had her pants pulled down, just so her butt was hanging out of the back of her pants. So I said "Hannah, what are you doing?" and she goes "What? What are you talkn' bout?" I say "Your butt is hanging out." She goes "No it's not. I don' know what you're talkn' bout mom?" as she walks around in a circle so we can see her butt hanging out. It was soo funny....I almost peed myself because you could tell that she had this whole thing planned out from the time she was in the playroom. Very funny!

 

They call apricots "apple butts" and crack up -- I think their daddy taugh them this.

They love to run through the house after the tub with their hooded towels over their heads, screaming "Super Lissa!" and "Super Jade!"

Melissa is suddenly very obsessed with being right by Jade's side and yells, "Jade, come back? Where's Jade?" when she's out of her sight. She also gives Laszlo, the dog, big hugs and kisses.

Jade likes to push herself along the floor on her back, like a crab yelling, "Go Jade go!" and I have no idea where this comes from.

I could go on...

 

During bath time I ask them if they can swim like fishies...and they lay on their bellies and kick in the water.

Zayne's new thing is to call her brother - she likes to look for him and check up on him to see what he's doing. I often hear her calling "C'auley, C'auley!!" She almost sings it. Sometimes she'll ask "Where are you, C'auley?" or "What'cha doing?".
Today my dh heard her say "C'auley, OBEY!!" She tells him to come, too.

Today she handed me a handful of slimy lazagna that I had been feeding them for lunch. She said "C'auley spit it out".

By far the cutest thing is when I put her to bed at night, I always pray over her. I also started to speak in tongues before I lay her down. Now, she mimics me and starts saying "shadadadada shaddaa shaddadda" while I am praying over her. If I stop, she'll start up again...*sigh* so cute! I guess it's just one of those things, you have to understand it to appreciate it! LOL!

She is such a little helper, too. Today she picked up each toy in McAuley's room before going downstairs - as she picked it up, she'd say what it was, then say "Goes right....here" and put it in the basket.

 

this morning Kenna and I were laying down on the couch. She had a bottle that she was playing with it acting like it was an airplane making "woosh" sounds as she was playing with it. I was so excited to see her using her imagination and I said all excited "wow McKenna whats that?". She looked at me with a look like "duh" and said very seriously "its a ba-ba". Silly mommy

 

Matthew cannot be wrong so he makes up a story of why he is right. He called Garlic bread "Wee Wack Bread". I said, I think you mean garlic bread and he said, "no, it is wee wack bread it just has garlic in it. Yours can be garlic bread but mine is WEE WACK bread"

Now they both call garlic bread wee wack bread.

 

One day I was changing Mary's diaper and I mistakenly called her Mady. When I realized what I had said I told her "Oh, you're not Mady, you're Mary" She pointed to herself and said "I'm me!!" I said well I am glad one of us isn't confused!

 

I have two to share both from Sierra.

On Christmas Eve my mom and I took the kids to the afternoon show of Charlottes Web. At the point where Charlotte dies, mom and I are bawling like babies, and in the movie Wilbur goes back to the barn and all the other animals are asking whats wrong, where is Charlotte, Sierra yells out "HEY, she's dead"! I was mortified, and thankful the theatre was not full.

This Christmas Sierra started asking about baby Jesues and why we have Christmas, so I told her that we are celebrating Baby Jesues's birthday, and left it at that. That night at Christmas dinner she says "mommy we really 'bratin Baby Jesues's birthday" and I said "yes honey we are" infront of my entire immediate family my 4 year old looks around and says..... "What the ****, we dont do my birthday like this"

Again my moment of wanting to die on the spot!

 

Alexis is always stealing stuff from Rachel but this morning she saw the applesauce in the frig and grabbed it out and took it to where Rachel was playing and asked in her best hostess voice, "Appiesaw?" Rachel looked shell shocked and I assured her it was OK to take it and then Alexis got another tub of it for herself and they sat down to breakfast in their chairs. It was cute to see Alexis being nice for a change.

 

DH's brother has long hair and keeps it in a ponytail. As he was leaving Christmas breakfast, Mari said, "Uncle Ron has a piggie, Mom!" (piggie=ponytail). "Yes, he does," I said. Mari said, "I guess he's a girl, then?" I was so, so very glad he was already out the door...

We also gave our pediatrician a laugh today. It was their 3 year checkup, and he asked how their language skills are progressing. I said, "Girls, what makes the stars shine?" They answered, "Hydrogen fusion!"

DH is a physicist. The girls also know that the sun is made of hydrogen gas, held together by gravity. DH's aunt told him, "Keep geeking them up like that and you'll never have to worry about boys wanting to date them!"

Check out They Might Be Giants, your kids will probably love them! They even have a song "Why Does the Sun Shine?" Goes something like "The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace!" Also there's a song about James K. Polk, for us history dorks

 

Ah, yes, they got TMGB "Here Come the ABCs" last Christmas, and I've been a fan myself since, well, many, many years.

I forgot one thing: a few weeks ago the girls saw me without my bra on while getting changed at the Y locker room. Mari said, "Whoa, Mom! I don't have those big things! What are those big things on you?" (I'm, erm, well endowed). I told them that they're breasts, grown-up girls get them, and they are private. The next time we were in the locker room, Ruby said, "When I grow up, I want to have reeeeeeeeeeeally big privates! But you can't touch them, 'cause they're private!"

I praised her for setting good boundaries. Then I went around the corner so they wouldn't see me laugh.

One more: Mari one morning around 10am said, "Mommy, I know we had a good breakfast, but actually, I'm starving to death."

Okay, time for me to stop blabbing and go to bed.

 

Bete, my DH is a physicist too -- I can't wait to teach the girls about hydrogen fusion! (We already have "Here Come the ABCs" -- though they don't get much out of it yet.)

LMAO over here. Can't wait till mine are old enough to say funny things!

 

My girls are obsessed with wipes. I can't leave the container of wipes within reach...because if I turn around...it will be empty...on the bright side, they will wipe their face and if I ask, they will start cleaning the floor. One day they were both scrubbing the area rug...

They will kiss everything. They were eating dinner and kissing their forks.

During commercials or when they hear any music, they will start dancing. It is soooo cute!

 

Naturally, my Claire gets "Claire bear" from absolutely everyone. However, the other day Alice pointed to her and said, "Claire a bear." I said, "Yes, that's what people call her." Alice then pointed to herself and said, "Alice a tortoise." I have no idea where she picked this up!? Daycare? Grandma's? My parents love playing with words and may have felt that Alice needed her own animal. I must have looked surprised because Claire nodded and assured me, "Yes. Alice a tortoise." So now she's Alice-tortoise.

They are also working out who's a boy and who's a girl. A few weeks ago, before they moved into their big-girl beds, they were sitting in their cots at bedtime and Colin, my husband, heard the following exchange:
Alice: Daddy?
Claire: Boy.
Alice: Mummy?
Claire: Girl.
Alice: Uncle Neil?
Claire: Boy.
Alice: Bodders? (Bonkers, my parents' poodle)
Claire: Eeerrr...Boy.
(it should be noted that Bonkers has been desexed - not sure if that was the source of the confusion or not!!)

Alice also knows our names and will call us by them when she wants a cuddle in bed and we don't come in right away. So we get, "Tania! Colin! Come in!" from our two-year old. And the other day she was sitting, thinking hard, and said, "Daddy's name...Tolin. Mummy's name...Tania. Alice's name...Alice." I think she wondered why she doesn't have two!

Last night we had birthday cake. Now they obviously do b-days at daycare because my kids know the song and everything. So they sang to me, helped blow out the candles and then we put the cake aside. (They hadn't had dinner yet). Meghan walked over to me about 10 minutes later and said "I need more birthday" It was so cute! (My niece did the birthday thing with them again after she gave them dinner)

When we come home each day, we wind down with a cup of milk and an episode of Sesame Street. Once Meghan is relaxed, she starts stripping. The shoes come off, then the pants and if she can get it off, the shirt, too. Then she goes to work on her brother trying to take his clothes off....she must figure if she likes it, he probably does, too.

My daughter loves the show Caillou. We sometimes give them McCormick Smiles with dinner (potatoes). She has started calling them Caillous....I assume because Caillou is bald and so are the smiles.

 

This story works best if you speak Spanish, but I'll include translation because I know most people don't.
I usually speak Spanish when we are together with the nanny, for her benefit.
Gabby had a cough and I was going to give her some cough suryp. It's a natural kind that is honey based with ecuaplytus and stuff in it. And they both happen to LOVE this medicine, what 2 year old doesn't love a spoonful of honey!
Bianca said, "Yo quiero 'cina." (I want medicine). I said, "No, no te toca medicina." (You don't take medicine.) She shouts, "Si! Si, quiero!" (Yes! I want it) I explain that Gabby gets medicine because she has a cough (tos), but that Bianca doesn't have a cough (tos) so she doesn't get any. Bianca screams, "Si teno tos" (yes, I have a cough) And I say, "No, no tienes tos. (no, you don't have a cough.) She insists that she has "tos" (a cough) and finally I say, "Oh? Donde esta tu tos?" (Where is your cough?) Gabby was hacking away in the back ground. She pulls of one of her shoes and says "Aqui estan mis toes! (here are my toes, pronounced the same as tos, cough in Spanish)
I almost fell over laughing and I let her have a tiny bit of honey suryp as a reward for her language skills.

 

What great stories!!!

Chloe and Cole don't say too much, but when we talk about the kitty, they both raise their voices a few octives and jabber to the kitty like he is a little baby, it's just too cute. In fact, Cole's first conversation was with the cat when he was 8 months old, they me'wed back and forth a few times.

Chloe loves to walk around with the hood of her jacket on, so it looks like she has a cape. She parades around like she is queen, even fluttering her eye lashes. She also poses evertime I take her out of the bath tub. I put the towel on her head and she has to look at herself in the mirror and gives a little pose.

We have a few signs down and everytime I try to show Cole a new one, he shows me 'more', that is the one he knows the best. He gets the biggest smile on his face, I'm guessing because we understand what he is saying.
