Here's a selection of quotes from the past few months, from my 4-year-old daughter M-, my 7-year-old son D-, and my infant son E-:
M- (excitedly, pointing to a Bud Light truck parked near us at the gas station): Daddy, I see the waaater botttttle truuuuuuck!
D- (drawled slyly, while doing his homework, as if idly asking about the weather, or some other not-remotely-related topic): Hey Dad, what's forrrrrrty-three plus thirty-six?
M- (using her Important Announcement voice at the dinner table): This hot dog BUN is too hot! (asked if she's sure) ...No... the thing that's inside it. (asked, "You mean the hot dog??") Yeah, the hot dog.
E- (whenever he deliberately pushes or drops things off his high chair, with the detached tone of an innocent bystander): Uh-oh.
M- (very matter-of-factly, about a song she made up): It's a very long song... I can't sing all the words in ONE day...
Me (after our shared laughter at my wife apparently stopped by quite so funny): No, no, I'm not being mean-- I'm laughing WITH you, as we both laugh at you!
M- (very excited, and distinctly unfazed, regarding the corpse of an unfortunate mouse, victim of our cats): We should save it, and when it turns to bones, I can study them! Because when I grow up, I want to be a vegetarian, and help animals!!
So what is 43 plus thirty six? You didn't give the answer.
ReplyDeleteLaugh with me, laugh with me...
When my oldest was Es age, she said, "Uh-oh, baby!"
ReplyDeleteAre vegetarians and veterinarians exactly alike?
ReplyDeleteShe better study those bones before some other critter finishes the mouse off.

ReplyDeleteThere can never be too many 'funny shit kids say' posts for me. NEVER. (my son used to call beer 'dad juice').
