Anyone have any funny stories they want to share?

When my girls were young, I kept what we named the "Red Book" - only because it was a notebook with a red cover. I wrote in it all the funny things they said and did. When they had children of their own, they continued the tradition. Here are two of the best from my Red Book -

We were walking to pick up her older sister from school and young DD - age 4 or so, says to me "You should never look directly at the sun, right, Mommy?" I replied, "That's right. Do you know why?" She proudly answered "Because you'll go blonde."

My two girls, then ages 10 and 12, were over playing at their best friends' house (another set of sisters). The friends had two older boy cousins visiting. Trying to be a smart*ss, I'm sure, one of the boys asked my younger DD "Are you a virgin?", to which she indignantly replied "No! I'm a Gemini".

Another one, a few weeks or so from dd's 5th birthday. Conversation in the car.

Me: So what do you want for your birthday this year?
DD: Hmm...I really think I'd like a pony.
Me: Well ponies are very expensive and we can't keep a pony in our backyard. Is there anything else instead?
DD: Well if I can't have a pony, can I have a unicorn?

My son has an Uncle Michael. However, when he was little, it was hard for him to say Uncle Michael together. Separately he could, just not together.

So he is now forever Uncle Dikel. To this day, and DS is 28.

I've had similar conversations with little ones - aren't they the best?

3yo: You can't walk on the sun
Me: You're right. Why not?
3yo: Because you'd fry like a boiled egg

Another slightly older child:
Me: What do you want to do when you grow up?
Her: Get a boyfriend and have an organism
Me: 


Hugs Cecilia. I hope your visit goes better than you think.

A couple of years ago my husband and I decided to order take out pizza so he calls the chain and a young man answers we were on speaker phone and my husband asked what the specials were and the young man starts listing them and my husband looks over at me and ask what is a Bill Jerone and I bust out laughing as did the young man on the phone and I looked at my husband and said I believe that is "build your own".
We still laugh over it.

I took my mom for a doctor appointment the other day and I got in there, I was like, wow, they are playing really good music. I was jamming along in my head and then realized that it was my spotify playing in my purse!

I remembered another cute story.

When DS was just graduating from kid's meals and starting to order from the main menu, the server asked him if he would like soup or salad.

He replied back - Yes I want the Super Salad!!

We still call salads "Super Salads" to this day.

For the longest time we couldn’t figure out why my DD would call one of her uncles “Uncle Bubble.” Eventually we realized that every time he called my phone, if I couldn’t get to it and DH answered it he would say, “It’s your brother” so what she was really saying was Uncle Brother, LOL.

My middle son when he was 3?

He was standing at the top of the stairs wanting to go outside, and asked me:
DS do I need to wear my beanie
ME: no
DS: do I need to wear my sun hat?
ME: no
DS: do you mean, I can wear my hair outside?

When my son was about 5, his daycare provider had a baby. We were in the car when he asked me how the baby gets out. I said something like "there is a special place between mommy's legs that opens up for the baby". He responded with "Well, when we get home, show me!" I nearly drove into the ditch.

Hugs, cecilia.

Well, I suppose this could be funny to someone else, but to me, not so much.  I got up very early this morning when it was still dark and went to make a bowl of cereal.  I put the Grapenuts in the bowl, added the blueberries, and decided I wanted a bit of monkfruit sugar on it too.  With everything all set in the bowl, I reached into the refrigerator and grabbed a box of almond milk and poured it on.  And as I said, it was early and the kitchen was still rather dark.  I didn’t bother to turn the light on since I knew where all the components were and didn’t think I needed the big overhead lights.  There is a small bar light under the top cabinets that turns on automatically when I enter the kitchen and I thought that was enough light. 

I took a bite of my cereal and immediately spit it back out.  Something was very wrong.  I turned the lights on and looked into my bowl to see what the heck had gone wrong.  I had accidentally grabbed the box of chicken stock, not the box of almond milk that was right next to it.  And, the light in my refrigerator had come on, I just didn’t bother to check the box in that light because I was sure I had the milk box in my hand.  I won’t do that again.

Just a comment from me, this morning...

Heading out the door: when did it change from "Is my lipstick the right colour?" Or "Is my eyeliner on straight?" to "Do I have my teeth in?"
