Oakblossoms Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There is so much yucky stuff going on. I perrsonally have had quite a roller coaster. My heart and prayers go out to all those who are hurting. So, can we start a thread for funny, cute, stuff that happened to you today? My two year old daughter was in my bed today. She has been telling everyone they are mean or yucky. She had her nukie in and I thought she said Mommy is mean. I repeated it twice and took her nukie out. i knew she must have been saying something else because she didn't look upset. She said Mom is pretty. Talk about mommy heart melt.

Brindee Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well, this didn't happen today, but it's a kid thing! :) When my dad was young, he was teaching is 3 year old brother the letters of the alphabet. When they got to the letter U, he said to his little bro., "That's a U." His little bro. looked at it and shook his head no. My dad said, "Yeah, it's a U." The little bro. looked REALLY closely at it, then looked at my dad and said, "Aw, that's not a me!" :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketgirl Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We talked about our ancestors today, complete with heirlooms, pictures, stories, etc & my 4 year old looked up at the ceiling, waved to her great great grandma Mimi and said I love you!

Embassy Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 From today: My son was putting together a puzzle of the USA today. When he was putting the Wyoming piece in he read it as Yuan Ming's (pronounced wang mings)- a local Chinese grocery store. A short while later my 3 year old looked at the USA puzzle and asked me if it was Earth. I gave my little Canadian-American a non-political answer:tongue_smilie: Here is a little conversation I had with my 8 year old the other day. He is so fun! He said he didn't like math and we had a little conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 She said Mom is pretty. Talk about mommy heart melt. :iagree: But, it can get interrupted! A few weeks ago, my son said, "You smell really good, you smell like you took 10 showers." He then asked if it was my soap or my shampoo that smelled so nice. He took a sniff of my hair to see if it was the shampoo and said, "No, it's not your shampoo, your hair smells bad." :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSheep Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Breakfast conversation snippet: Dh: That cantaloupe would be great for ds to practice using chopsticks with. Dd: Why does ds need to use chopsticks? Dh: Well, he wants to go with me to the sushi restaurant, but he needs to be able to use chopsticks first. Sushi isn't really meant to be eaten with a fork. Dd: Sushi, in my opinion, isn't really meant to be eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 A few simple ones from last week.....not real funny, but lovely non-the-less Ds17 told me the other day how much he enjoys dd13 because she is so funny. :0) DD13 told me she is glad she isn't the oldest, so she doesn't have to worry about 'setting the standard' for the other kids in the family. She was complimenting her brother in the conversation, but I was like :blink: wondering what she has planned! I think I am in trouble! Ds17 thanked me for how we raised him and dd. Citing his friend's familial relationships and family issues as why he was appreciative. DD13s PE teacher at school stopped me today, and told me that dd 'always says nice things about you' and 'your dd says you two are so much alike. Not many teens want to admit they are like their parents!' :blush: I consider myself very, very lucky to have such great, loving, kind teenagers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I was watching out the window as one of the young horses was teasing the adults, trying to get them to play with him. Dh's big old fat quarter horse finally decided to chase the sassy youngster down, slipped in the mud and almost fell on his big old fat quarter horse butt. Cracked me up.

fourcatmom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We were on our way home the other day and we were sitting in the middle of the lanes waiting to turn left into our apartments. The street is fairly busy and sometimes turning left can take awhile. We had plenty of time and we were not in any danger but when we pulled out there was a car coming towards us, again not close but approaching. My dd from the back seat was looking out her window that is now facing the approaching car. We pull into the driveway and she says, "Wow, that was like 3D!" I really made me laugh:tongue_smilie: Again, only funny because the car really was not that close but I guess to her it seemed different.

joannqn Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My 5 year old DS and 2 year old DD were talking in the bathroom this morning. It turns out they are going to have babies when they grow up. DH called them out to clarify if they each were having their own babies or they were having babies together. DS said, "Yeah, and the babies are going to poop and fart and we will change their diapers, I think." Still not getting a good clarification about who the parents are, we tried to ask if they were having their own babies. DS said, "No, 'cause only Maddie can have babies in her tummy. I'm going to work all day on the computer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I sometimes wonder about Eldest and his writing ability. It's like pulling teeth to even get him to do one sentence of copy work. But he does have the language skills last night he said to me when coming out of the bathroom I leaned forward for just a second and a monstrous smell erupted from the bowels of toilet. It was enough to make me feel faint. ... Get it - the stink went from my bowels, to the bowels of the toilet. he he he Anyone who can so vividly explain a bathroom smell should ONE DAY have a easy time putting words on paper, or so I hope.

Guest cdragon76 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The other day I made finger jello for my 6 year old and he threw it on the floor. At first I looked at him in a strange way and asked him what he was doing. He told me since finger jello is so jiggly. He wanted to see if it would bounce. Here I thought he was the smart one.

Xilka Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My ds 9 wrote a letter to the mayor (as a writing assignment) to suggest the installation of trash cans in the park. We went to the town hall the other day to present the letter (small town, not difficult to see the mayor). When he came out of his office to see us, ds froze in terror. He couldn't talk or move, and just stood there looking at me and shaking the letter in front of the mayor. It was especially funny because he's a natural performer and has never had stage fright. It was very unexpected. But he recovered quickly and laughed about it afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyinTN Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Something happy from me. Yesterday I decided to take spring break this week before the pollen hit. I cleaned out my flower bed and cut back bushes and such. The kids saw me and they went flower shopping and purchased 4 flats of pansies. We planted them and put up our Easter tree and decorated our front door. It looks so pretty and the kids helped and had a blast. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 My DIL who is used to bring home a paycheck, is now a full time stay at home Mom with a gorgeous 2 month old. SHe loves to clean and I don't. DOnt' get me wrong, my house is clean, I would just rather be doing something else. So, I can afford to pay her to clean and my reward....I get to hold the baby while during her nap. Contented sigh.

catz Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 :D Love this thread. At this moment, my 7 year old is perfecting her back walk overs on a futon mattress we threw down in the living room. My surfing the board is interrupted every 10 seconds by "mom, watch this!". Followed by jumping and squeals of delight. :party:Her acrobatics coach has told her if she perfects this she could be invited to join the "big kid team" which kids usually don't get invited to until age 8 or 9. We love homeschooling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillametteMom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 We have snow today, which is very unusual for our area this time of year. It's so pretty and we are all snug and warm inside, reading and sipping tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Last week ds6 (he's still learning to read) asked me if he could follow me on Twitter. There was just something about my baby asking me that question that cracked me up. When I told him he could, he successfully punched buttons on his kindle Fire and he's now following me :001_huh:. I got home Friday night and my ds12 told me that he didn't finish his math while I was gone because his "morale was broken". (Mild Cursing, from last week) Ds8: "Where's [inaudible]?" Me: "Ds11, what did he say?" Ds11: "He said 'Where's my $hit?'" Me: "What?" Ds11: "No, I said 'Where's my shin?'" I couldn't help laughing. Turns out the boys didn't know that $hit's a curse word--we'd already spent part of the morning discussing the word bastard since it comes up so much in Mary, Bloody Mary. Who knew that our vocabulary lesson for the day would cover such naughtiness? Edited March 13, 2012 by JudoMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 DH and I are on Weight Watchers and today is our meeting day. I hit my 25 lb. weight loss mark and DH hit his goal. He has to maintain his weight, give or take up to 2 lbs., for 6 weeks and then he is a lifetime member. I'm so proud of him! And of me!

ma23peas Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Child's mind: We were listening to an episode of "Adventures in Odyssey"...a scene where someone got in trouble for doing something illegal...my 5 year old could not understand why and kept asking me, why? I asked her to repeat her questions, we were not reaching each other...She loudly said, "I don't know why someone is mad about a little eagle, he never did anything!" Animal behavior: For months we have trained our new puppy to go to the front door if she needs to go out...success!! Well, now that the weather is much nicer we are letting her go outside and play in the pastures with our other dog...our other dog of course does her business in the pasture, the 6 month old puppy sees her doing it...but after an hour of play she will come into the house, run to the front door so she can be 'taken' out to go do her business...she apparently thinks she can only 'go' if she is on the leash and in the front yard!!! OMGoodness!!! Joke: A man asked a store owner if an insecticide was good for ants..the store owners said "No! It'll kill 'em!" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 This made me happy- the little baby I'm babysitting is wearing the cutest outfit today. She has a big strawberry on her bottom and little smiling strawberry people on her feet. It's impossible to feel grumpy while looking at her in that outfit!

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 When ds#1 was 4 I taught him the names of the planets (I got him wall stickers for his bunk bed as a reward for going up there.) When we got to the planet "Uranus" for a long time he called it "my-anus." :D The other day I had to explain what a bra is to ds5 and ds2.9. After the explanation (I used the words breasts) ds2.9 said "Mama's a lumpy girl!" Ds5 followed that with "I'm a flat boy!" Ds5: "Jesus is eating my egg roll." (He's learning about Jesus being inside of us in AWANAS.) Me: "No, you are eating your egg roll, not Jesus." Gabriel: "So, what is Jesus doing?" Me: "He's...watching you." Gabriel: "Hey Jesus, watch this! I'm eating my egg roll...here it comes!" (As he dramatically puts his egg roll in his mouth.) Joke: DesCartes is in a bar, the bartender asked him if he'd like another. DesCartes replied "I think not" and disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
