<p>^^^^ anothercrazymom… I could actually picture that…very funny.</p>
<p>anothercrazymom-that is VERY funny!!!Love it.</p>
<p>S just turned 6, and got a book on the human body from his aunt. It had a chapter on muscles, the circulatory system, the nervous system, etc.</p>
<p>Fast forward a few weeks, he had a friend over, and the friend’s mom was there too.</p>
<p>At one point S says to friend’s mom, “You should have another kid so ‘friend’ can have a brother or sister!” (Friend is an only child.)</p>
<p>The mom is a little taken aback at the boldness, and just says “Oh no, I’m too old.”</p>
<p>S then says, “No, you’re not! Your eggs are good until you’re 45!”</p>
<p>Apparently the book had a very detailed chapter on the reproductive system…</p>
<p>One of my daughters, when she was close to 4, was talking about the upcoming holidays
“First there’s Thanksgiving, then comes Christmas, then New Year, then My Versary. . .”</p>
<p>(Now you can guess D’s name and when her parents’ wedding anniversary is. . .) </p>
<p>One of my sons was about 4 when he was trying to pour himself a drink out of a full gallon jug of milk. When I tried to take over the job, he said in a very angry and determined voice, "I can DUMP this ALL BY MYSELF–without SPILLIN’ " --and he did!
We use this quote when we see a little kid trying to do a big job.</p>
<p>We had a reproduction “moment” too.</p>
<p>I am driving to Toys R Us to buy a shower gift, 5 year old S in the back seat asks,“How does the baby get in the mommy’s tummy”. I get a little flustered, but remember all the books saying just a little information is all they are looking for, don’t get all technical at this point. So I reply, “a mommy and daddy love each other in a special way and a baby starts to grow” kind of a chickened out answer but he seems satisfied so we let it go. </p>
<p>Well, fast forward, I am at the register paying for the gifts and anothercrazyson is sitting on a display platform just beyond the register. There is a grandma type on line behind me, S calls out in his booming voice, "Mommy are you going to have anymore babies?’ (S is an only) I say, distractedly “no sweetie, I think that ship has sailed” S’s gleeful reply, “well unless daddy loves you in a special way” The woman behind me on the line shot me such a look! It did sound kind of wrong the way he said it.</p>
<p>When my oldest was about three he kept asking me how the baby got out. I would just tell him that the mommy went to the hospital and the doctor helped the mommy get the baby out. One day in extreme frustration he said, " No mommy! HOW DOES THE BABY GET OUT? Does it come out of your mouth?". So at that point I had to give more information than I was ready for!</p>
<p>My daughter was two or three years old when she asked me, “How do you get to be a big mommy?”</p>
<p>I wasn’t sure exactly what she was asking or how much I should tell her, so I was silent a moment.</p>
<p>She then said, “Can you give me a HINT?”</p>
<p>Our little boy to daddy: “when I’m grown up will you share your underpants with me?”</p>
<p>This thread takes me to my happy place! Love it!</p>
<p>When FLAson was about 4 a very nice elderly gentleman at a restaurant struck up a conversation with him. After the man left I decided to use it as a teachable moment to illustrate “stranger danger” and asked son “Is that nice man a stranger?” His reply: “No, that nice man is not a stranger, a stranger wears a hat.”</p>
<p>Okay folks- reminded of years ago when the 3 of us would be out together- there were 3 stores in a row, a toy store for each of us per son- Dad’s toy store- Best Buy, son’s- Toys R Us and mine, sigh- a grocery store. I guess I was always wanting to go to it…</p>
<p>wis75–if it’s a Trader Joe’s I could be very happy with that toy store!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>:D Good thing I wasn’t drinking anything!</p>
<p>When D17 would sing her A, B, C’s, she would end with alphabet with</p>
<p>“double my X and Y my Z’s”</p>
<p>No, just a regional brand. I’ve seen Trader Joes, not excited by its merchandise, btw.</p>
<p>I still have this on my refridgerator door- My D was about 4 and she was very angry at me, She wrote-
Dear mom- I hate you very much. Love, D.</p>
<p>Apparently on my first day of pre-school at the door I turned to my mom and said “This is not a place for moms.” and turned back around and walked in to the classroom.</p>
<p>I love this thread, so many funny and sweet things.</p>
<p>as we have a new batch of seniors about to go off to college thought i would bump this up!</p>
<p>I don’t know why I’ve never seen this thread before. I’ve been reading all of these and have laughed so hard I’ve cried.</p>
<p>I have a ton - but to start, when he was in preschool, my s saw a cardinal land on a tree, and said “Look, mom, a red jay!” Much to his embarrassment we still call them red jays!</p>
<p>My son has always had a sense of humor. I would often tell him you “crack me up” with things he would say. One day, when being silly, he said “mom, do I crackle you up?”. from then on, no one was “cracked up”, but “crackled up”.</p>
<p>my son has very curly hair. No one else in the family does. When my son was 3 yrs one of my friend asked him “Where did you get all that curly hair”? He immediately replied “Walmart”. LOL</p>
