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. Haha! My oldest used to say that when she passed gas! Sometimes she would say her "butt burped." |

I was joking around with my ds who was 15 of 16 at the time. I told him about the saying that “grandchildren are nature’s reward for not strangling your teenagers” and said that he maybe only owed me one at that point. Without missing a beat he replied “yeah but I’m going to have a lot of nieces and nephews!”
When dd was little she would occasionally get some insight to the kinds of things her preschool mind would have nightmares about because she would talk in her sleep. One night after hearing her thrash around and getting upset we heard her cry out, “Noooo! MY poptart!!!”
When she was about the same age dh was told that dd had informed her daycare provider that “daddy made mommy a bitch”. She repeated it to dh on the drive home and he was PISSED. Wondering who would say something like that in front of her such that she would be able to repeat it, had *I* said something, etc. He was pretty hot under the collar by the time he got home. At home though dd said something more about “the bitch” and I don’t know if her pronunciation improved or how he came to the realization, but she was actually saying “daddy made mommy a BENCH” as he had recently assembled the bench I got for our patio.

When my now 18 year old senior was a toddler he would order a hamburger with cheese or a cheeseburger no cheese.  When we are out to eat and I ask him what he's getting he will still say "hamburger with cheese" but he does correctly tell the waiter "cheeseburger". When we are grilling at home it's always "Do you want your hamburger to have cheese or your cheeseburger to not have cheese?" It's just become the way my family refers to cheeseburgers and hamburgers. |

We visited our grandsons who are 4 and a half and 3. We went to the park one day and the 3 year old was holding my hand. He said, "Grandma, I like holding your hand. I'm going to hold your hand all day long!" They both have my heart ❤️

One that comes to me immediately isn't from my own kid but from a 1st grader in the class where I was subbing last week. We were working on handwriting in one of those writing workbooks that have one letter per page and lines with dots on them then more lines where you have to write the letter yourself... Anyway, we did "C" and "S". One kid raised his hand to show me he was done. I looked at most were excellent but a couple of the "S"s were almost sideways. I said "Hey, great job. These are really good. Now how about these two, they look like they're getting ready to lie down and go to sleep. See if you can stand them up more." He said "Oh they're not going to sleep! They're dancing!"
Since I'm a sucker for cute kids with no teeth who come up with creative answers (and since most of his "S"s were excellent) I let him get away with that one and I helped him spell "dancing" next to those two "S" so his teacher would know what they were doing. lol

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) This reminded me that our oldest ds (now in his 40's), when he was small, loved grilled cheese sandwiches. But he called them "grouchy samiches". We all called them that at home. And what is cool is that we could--and often still do--successfully order that in a restaurant! |

Years ago -from a teacher friend I heard a story of a small child who kept saying "my mommy does drugs every morning". After concern they discovered she had seen this (or like) PSA/commercial and misinterpreted. Nothing to see here...just breakfast.

Nothing to see here...just breakfast.Those anti drug and anti alcohol commercials were very to confusing small children! My sister had gone through a drive thru place to pick up lunch with her 3 little ones in the car with her. On their way to the park, she took a sip from her soda and her son started crying and saying "No, mommy, don't! I don't want to die!" She was totally baffled. She had to pull over to calm him down because he was so upset. He said he saw on TV that drinking and driving will get you killed. |

My 3 year old granddaughter comes up with many.
Yesterday she was on the toilet. Her mom told her to hurry up, wipe her vagina and get off the toilet, which led to "Don't call me a vagina!"
She likes to say "I need privacy!"
She's a hoot!
