LOL!
When my dd was turning five, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. She asked for a pony. I told her that wasn't happening. She then said if she couldn't have a pony, how about a unicorn?

Haha, that's cute! When my 7yo was in preschool he asked Grandma if she was along the river bank and heard Moses crying in the basket! We still get a kick out that one. He still thinks Grandma's old, but not that old Grandma told him... Nope, but Grandpa was there Way to throw him under the bus lol.

When I was pg with my youngest 23 years ago I was showing my then 3 yo ds a picture of a baby in utero, explaining how the baby grows. He said, "Oh that baby is a boy" and I said, "How do you know that?" and he said, "Because there's no bow in his hair!". So funny.

My 9 year old grandson recently had his long, hockey hair cut into a stylish, short cut. He told me he loves his new haircut, but he's "going to need a lot of gel!"

My grandson recently told me he found a wallet in his mom’s closet with money inside and that he was going to give it to me. He emphasized that I can spend it on “anything I want.” . He said that several times. There was 7 cents in the wallet.

When my late brother was a toddler, he loved, but couldn't pronounce, "cucumber." He always wanted "chew chum bers." He thought that was cuter than I did.

11 year old "wanna be" police officer says to my daughter "You are on the force now? I've been on the force for 3 years. Be careful. It's dangerous out there." So cute and sweet!

We took our 15-year-old son to the store so he got to be the one to take the cart back (because I'm all for passing on the work to younger legs.) He didn't come right back so we had to go find him. He was at the cart return straightening it out, making sure there was a row for the small carts and one for the standard carts. I told him it was just going to get messed up again. He took a deep breath, threw his hands in the air and declared, "Some people just want to watch the world burn." Considering how much shopping carts come up on here, I figured there were a few peas that sympathize.

When DH came home from the hospital, our 8 yr old dd said “Daddy I am so glad you are home! “ DH said “ did you miss me.” Dd said “we’ll a little bit, but if I had to smell one more fart smell or hear someone gag, I was going to lose my mind.”

When ds was little he was having a bit of tummy trouble. In a rush he comes to get me to help him up. As soon as I let him go, he explosively evacuates and very calmly says, in the adorable toddler voice, Ooh, excuse me, my butt sneezed. I freaking laughed so hard. And we are not the potty humor family.

when my middle son was younger - he stood at the top of the stairs and pronounced he was going outside to play. He looked at me and said: do I need to wear a sunhat? no, I replied do I need to wear a beanie? he asked no, I replied he looked at me very surprised and said - you mean I can wear my hair outside?

When DD was about 9 we had moved into our current house and switched to the neighborhood church. On our second Sunday there, they had a baptism so they had reserved signs for the family and friends in the two front pews for this reason, though she didn't know it. DD saw them, pointed to me and whispered, "You have to pay to sit up there?" Save

I was at an aquarium with my then 3y/o DD. There was a man in scuba gear cleaning the big aquarium. She cupped her hands to the glass and yelled "Do you know Nemo?"

I volunteer every Friday at an elementary school. I do all of the reading assessments for the fifth grade. Today a young lady read the title of the piece, Exploring Australia, and instantly went into an Aussie accent. I grinned the whole time. Ten year old are adorable.

Just this afternoon:
6 year old “My belly hurts”
17 year old “You know what Auntie Crystal says.”
6 year old “Yeah.”
(Auntie Crystal is the daughter of a nurse and always asks if you’ve pooped if you have a stomachache.)
6 year old skips off to the bathroom and comes back a little later.
6 year old to 17 year old “That Auntie Crystal is a genius!”

I remember driving with my son and having something similar happening to us. I would start talking to the driver about their manners or their driving skills or something. My son looked at me rather pitifully and said, "Mommy, you do realize they can't hear you, don't you?"

Our daughter has been asking for a baby sister ever since she could verbalize it and understood what that means. She has two younger brothers. We have been prepping her for the possibility that if we had another baby it might be a boy. Dh told her that if we had another boy he would get her a girl puppy. Well on Sunday we announced to the kids that they are getting a baby sister. Dd was delighted. Ds (4) turns to dh and says "does this mean I get a boy puppy?"

Omg this is the best thread today!
I was pregnant before sonograms so I didn't know what baby #2 would be. I was sitting at the table, maybe 8 months or so pregnant, and my 4 yo DS ran up to me yelling something. When he ran up so noisy, the baby I was carrying jumped. I told DS that the baby heard him & jumped. He asked, "is the baby a brother or a sister?" I told him I didn't know. He said "well, close your eyes & look!"
I love talking with little kids!

He, DD and I were taking our sandwiches etc out to under the apple trees to have a picnic lunch. As we were headed out I asked him, 'shall we put on your shoes?' He said "No, I'll just use my feet." Thanks I haven't thought about that in a while. (I do have a scrapbook page of it though!)

This one about DD is more about what her thoughts behind the words she spoke. I always peel boiled eggs under running water so therefore DD started calling them "washed eggs" and it caught on. We still use term to this day.
Anyway, one day we had none in the fridge and she wanted one. I said that we were out and I would have to boil/cook some. DD: I don't want them cooked. I want washed eggs.
Me: (explain I have to boil first)
DD: I don't want boiled eggs, I want washed eggs. (tears forming in eyes)
Lather rinse repeat.
She was not understanding- she thought the running water was the source of her fave treat. Tears running down her 4 (?) year old eyes. I wasn't getting her to understand and it wasn't going to happen anytime soon. So...
Me: Did you want to try yourself? DD: yes, please.
So I pulled up a stool to the sink, ran some water and handed her a (raw) egg. Crack, splat! raw egg in bottom of sink. DD looks up at me in total surprise and shock.
Me:That's what I've been trying to tell you, honey. I have to cook them first.
Obviously she never saw me or paid any attention to how and when "washed eggs" were really made. Priceless. "Washed eggs" forever. I even asked for a "washed egg" on my salad when out to lunch once without thinking. Ooops!
(and I do have a scrapbook page on that too)

The neighbor text amd asked if he could borrow something the other day. When we knocked to give it to him his 6 year old granddaughter peeled through the curtains and said 'grandpa is in the shower but your not creepy or a stranger so I can answer the door for you. What's up naybs? " She's a hot mess. last week my 17 year old walked in whole I was doing a training on Facebook live for my team. I turned and said " Jordan, you remember before I started my business. What do you think the biggest change is since I started with Pure Romance? "
He thought for a minute and said "we can afford direct TV now......with a direct in each room! "
I don't know if he knew I was going to cancel this month or if he just lucked out that that's what he thought of but I'll suck it up and the bill a while longer.

Mine is from a 3-year-old many years ago (not mine) who solemnly told me "you can't walk on the sun, because you'd fry like a boiled egg"

My parents were here last week. My 16yo told me, "I was really glad they were here, but I wouldn't want them to lI've here."
I asked why.
"Because Grandma likes to socialize over breakfast early in the morning and that's too early. "

Once when we were driving somewhere dh had the radio on some rock station. Songs over, DJ's come on and are having some conversation which included the words "smoking weed". Five year old ds pipes up from the back seat and say's "I don't get it, how do you smoke weed?", we burst out laughing.
