Kids Say the Darndest Things!

[PLedIsa4031]

On our road trip to Florida, we went through Florence, Kentucky. They have this huge water tower that says "Florence, Y"ALL!" next to the interstate. One of us always reads this in our best Kentucky accent as we drive by it. After I said it, the 3yo says "Hey Ya'll....Watch this!" We laughed hysterically at his "first joke."

My BIL from Kentucky had recently told us the redneck joke...you might be a redneck if.....any of your relatives has ever died after saying, "Hey Ya'll watch this."

LOL, maybe you had to be there?

this cracked me up so much I had tears in me eyes! (I do understand too, I live in Alabama! LOL!)

On a road trip today, my youngest calls from the backseat.
"Mama, is it fart?"

O.K. here is the dialogue this question envoked.

Him:"Mama, is it fart?
Me: What, is it fart? Is what fart? What do you mean?
Him:Is it fart?
Me:Is what fart?
Him:Is it fart?
Me:Oh, is it far? Is what far? The store, no we're almost there.
Him: No, (getting frustrated) is it fart?
Him: Is the weather fart?
Me: The weather? What do you mean (looking around) is it fart? Oh, you mean fair. Is the weather fair? Yes, today is pretty nice. I would say the weather is fair.
Him: Nooo. (completely exasperated, by now) Is the weather fart? You know, when the leaves fall off the trees.
Me: Oh, (of course) you mean fall. F*a*l*l.
Like when you fall you hurt your knees and the leaves fall off the trees.
Fart is when you.....{well, you can imagine the explaination}

Yes, honey it is fall.



And you know what I just realized as this has just happened today,
went thru the whole thing in my head, typed it down, read it twice to make sure I got it right and viola it's not fall, this is February. Definately not fall.
:mistake2:

ROTFL! This is hysterical. I was reading the end, thinking, wait, what, it's fall?

After that conversation, I would've agreed that it was fall too.

How old is your youngest?

[kdownie]

Too hilarious!!! I got to the end and was thinking... "It's not fall!"

[aclowers]

so much for the great replies. I couldn't help but laugh all over again. My youngest is 6 and like so many at his age has lost his two front teeth. This very complicated conversation took place after a long day in the van with 3 kids. His very not so helpful brother and sister couldn't figure out what he was saying either. After we realized what the poor kid was trying to say, I almost had to pull over from laughing so hard.
Next stop, pit stop.

I have to say you wrote that really well! I've read it three times now and can't stop giggling.

My DD had blueberry pancakes for breakfast the other morning. I was cleaning her up and realized she had played with her food a bit and I hadn't seen...cause I found a piece of pancake shoved into her ear.

Just a little funny thing my 2 yr. old said last night...

I was getting her ready for bed, and her favorite pajamas were washed yesterday so were nice and clean for her to wear (she'd been without them for a couple days).

I was telling her what a nice pair of pajamas they were, and she was repeating it after me... "nice pair, nice pair" then she pauses and says, "nice apple." I guess you can't really explain homonyms to a 2 year old !

An insanely hysterical thread! With 4 kids and a bro 11 years my junior, I have a few to share.

When my bro was in the 2-4 range, we were in a hotel and there was a guy about 300+ lbs. We walked around the corner of the hotel and my bro almost ran into him. He looked him up and down and goes, "Wow, are you fat!" I was in my teens and mortified. Thankfully, the guy just laughed.

Fast forward to my kids. My inlaws both exceed 300 lbs. We were talking about the need to eat healthy foods and exercise as part of 'school'. A few days later, my then-3 DD tells my grandmommy, "If you would eat more fruits and vegetables and play more, you wouldn't be so fat!" I swear, I didn't even mention my in-laws....

The other day, my kids were practicing a song they are going to sing with the kids at church. My 6 yo daughter suddenly looks up and says, "So, Mommy, there were wizards when Jesus was alive?" I was completely confused. She kept saying it was in the song. She insisted the words were, "When Jesus Christ was baptized down by the WIZARD Jordan," instead of "River Jordan."

Side note: a friend of mine keeps a special journal for writing down the cute things her friend says. At one point, she would make her annual Christmas letter a list of funnies from them. But still, make sure you write them down. It's amazing how quickly you can forget stuff.
