Kid quotes… again.

Just because I love to share the laughs with all of you….

(painting at the table with a friend)
son:  my first favorite word is ‘oh my chicken bootie’.  My second favorite word is ‘oh crud’.

(random comments in the car)
son: mom, can I be one year old when I’m in heaven? Do we get to pick? (pause) I’ll see you there, right?  Can you be 40 when you’re in heaven? because I like you at this age.

(kids getting in babysitter’s car… a VW bug)
daughter (11): WOW. When I get in this car, I feel so low to the ground.
son (6): yeah. Welcome to my world.

(getting ready for a shower)
son: Dad. Poop is totally a word. Know why? Because it has two ‘o’s in it. And ‘o’s are vowels.

(bedtime)
me: ok buddy, do you have anything you’d like us to pray about tonight?
(pause)
son: chicken.

This week’s kid quotes.


(playing with a good friend)
son: me and david are twins.
david: yeah, except we have different birthdays.
son: yeah, and we don’t look exactly the same.
david:  yeah, and we live in different places.
son: yeah, and you’re older than me and I’m taller.  But we’re still twins.

(after watching a snake in our front yard)
son: people are better than snakes.
me: why’s that?
son: because snakes don’t even have anything.
me: what do you mean?
son: snakes don’t have houses or anything electric or any stuff at all.  they just have stick bodies.  that’s why people are better. 
daughter: yeah, they could have had arms and legs and stuff, but thanks to Satan that didn’t happen. 

(snuggling with our dog)
son: mom, we need to get Sparky dog contacts?
me: why?
son: so he can see colors. 

(reading a ‘guess this animal’ book)
son: I don’t get this book.
me: It’s just animals. There’s nothing to get.
son: But I don’t get it.
me: There’s not a story.  There’s nothing to get.
son: Mom. Everything has a ‘get’.

Makin’ me laugh…

People around me make me laugh.  All the time.  Often when I least expect it, but most need it.  Here are a few of my favorite exchanges lately:

Setting: band rehearsal.  Learning a new song.
Bass player:  I don’t have the chords to that song.  (to worship leader/acoustic player) Can I look over your shoulder? 
Acoustic player: My shoulder doesn’t have the right chords.
Drummer:  Stupid shoulder.
 

Setting: staff meeting
staff member 1: I haven’t seen [person x] at church for a while.
staff member 2:  well, he is a fairly quiet guy.
(pause)
staff member 1: but he’s.. visible, right?
 

Setting:  car pool, which includes our neighbor kindergarten girl
girl: my feeling hurts.
me: your feeling? your one feeling hurts?
girl: yes. (pause) my third one.
 

Setting: dinner time at home
background: son’s kindergarten class uses a green/yellow/red card system to reward and encourage good behavior.  After a student has a certain number of ‘green card’ days, he or she gets to pick something out of a ‘treasure chest’.

son: mom, I just barely missed the treasure chest today.
me: (suspicious) why’s that?
son: guess.
me: did you get a yellow card?
son: (grins) yep.
me: why?
son: because I did this down the hall (collapses and log rolls across the floor) 
me: you rolled on the floor?!!?
son: (giggling… proud) yep.
me: which teacher gave you the card?
son: guess.
me: Mrs. B___?
son: yep. man, she’s strict.

Who makes you laugh in your everyday life?

Yeah, let’s keep the voting age.

Overheard at breakfast this morning between the 5yo and the 10yo:

5yo: (deadpan through entire conversation) So, did you vote?

10yo: No. I’m not old enough.

5yo: Well, I voted.

10yo: (just a little annoyed) You voted.  Who did you vote for?

5yo: Obama.

10yo: Why did you vote for Obama?

5yo: He’s cool. And McCain doesn’t even play basketball.

 

Only 13 years to sharpen his political prowess.  A parent’s work is never done.

I know the answer to that one.

Leaving family camp….. have been playing near a creek:
Me: It’s time to go!
Her:  Aw, mom!  Can’t I stay and look for leeches?  

No.  The answer will always be NO.

Family in car… have been driving for 2 hours:
Him: I need to use the bathroom!!
Dad: we’re almost home, buddy.
Him: Aw, dad!  Can’t I pee out the window while we’re driving?  

No.  The answer will always be NO.

 

Maybe we’re just really strict. 

Other questions to which the answer will always be ‘no’?
