Did Your Kid Say the Cutest Thing?

My 3 y/o's name is Ryder Allen ~ my husband uses both names when he is being naughty or when we need him to do something, etc.
So the other day Ryder was frustrated with me b/c I was on the phone and he was trying to get my attention. Finally he gets eye to eye with me and says "Mommy Allen, I am talking to you!"

And about a week ago the same 3 y/o came down around 4 am and snuggled into bed with us. I asked him if he was ok and he said he had a bad dream. So I rubbed his back and then I said quietly "go back to sleep, I love you baby" and he replied "I love Daddy" :)

Every day there's something my son says or does that makes me giggle, because he's 2 and there is so much he is learning and experiencing for the first time everyday. Just yesterday, he wanted a popsicle so he was desperately trying to open the freezer door, which is too heavy for him to do on his own. He was dangling from the handle, grunting, then he stepped to the side and said, "Mommy, no work!" then after a brief pause said "I try again" and went back to tugging at the handle. It's just so funny and cute to us because that was a phrase that he had never used before, and it amazes me how fast he is growing and learning new words and how to make sentences out of them.

A dog jumped out of the bushes and startled my 6 year old daughter. She grabbed her heart and exclaimed, "my heart almost fell out of its socket."
I thought I was gonna die of laughter!!

Oh gosh! I always say I am going to write these down and then promptly forget to!

One of my fav's is when we were riding in the car with my Dad (who is hard of hearing). My barely 2 yr old son pipes up from the back seat "I have to pee." My Dad didn't hear him so my son screams "I'm serious!" Cracked me up that he even knew the word serious much less the meaning of it.

My daughter said something not very kind and in a mean tone of voice. I was trying to explain to her that it was not nice and so on. I said "It is (and then I paused cuz I was trying to find the right words to use) and my then 3 year old pipes up "It's beyond rude! Isn't that right, Mommy?"

Both of my kids recently had some dental work done and my daughter told me afterward that her lip felt dizzy.

I too use their full names when they are in trouble. I said my son's full name and I heard my daughter tell him, "You'd better run Jack. Mommy means business now!"

The kids were fighting with each other and I walked into the room to stop it. My daugher says to my son very matter of factly "You go over there and sit in time out and I'll go over here and sit." Then she looked at me and said "Isn't that what you were coming to say to us, Mommy?"

My favorite to date is when my 2nd was 3 and we had been trying to potty train for a year. One day when I was contemplating our situation, I said very sweetly to her, "I am kind of getting really sick of you peeing in your pants Ella."
To which she replied very concerned, "Well, then you need to go to the Doctor if you are sick."
I laughed and hugged her so very tight! Gave me more patience, at least for a week or so:)

When my oldest son was a little boy his uncle once asked him how he was and my son replied, "Oh, I'm walking a fine line"!

My 2yo son came up behind me and hugged me around the legs and said "you make me so happy!"....five minutes later, I overheard him saying the same thing to a game on my iPhone. *sigh*

The things out of my 4 year old's mouth are always hilarious or just leave me with the "how did he come up with that" feeling. Some of my favorites is:

The kids were incessantly trying to get my attention while trying to get everyone in the car. With 4 kids all saying "mommy?!" non stop, it got to be a bit much and I snapped and said "stop mommy-ing me". So, the 4 year old then says "K.?!"

We were playing hi ho cherry-o and for the third time in the game, the 4 year old had to put all of his cherries back on the tree. His response on the third time was "Oh the humanity!" (Where does he get this?)

The 4 year old just started playing baseball. He's rather quick, and I figure it's only a matter of time before he laps the player in front of him when running the bases. I was trying to explain that you can't pass the player in front of you. His response was "Well, then I should just go first then we don't have to worry about it".

Last night my six yr old said, "my bones feel a little weak." As I stared at him wondering WTH he finally added, "I need a little milk"
Last summer as he and the little girl next door went out to play in the dark, she said "I'm afraid" He said "Dont be afraid, remember what the angel said-Fear not."

My 2 year old, going on 3, is in potty training. I admittedly have gotten short and snappy with her occasionally when she has accidents. Its not my most proud moments. So, yesterday she comes to me in her Pull up and taps me on the arm "mommy I got something itchy here" and loosely indicates her backside region. So I asked her nicely "D did you have an accident?" She thinks for a minute, puts her finger on her chin, looks around the room and says quietly. "Maybe, but I did not if you are going to be mad at me, and if I did I am going to ask my papa to change me". I couldn't help the roar of laughter from myself after that. I had to pick her up and hug her tight. There is a reason her nickname is Squeezu.

This morning I heard the stool move in the bathroom and sent my 4 year old in to tell my almost 2 year old to get out of the bathroom. I hear my 4 year old say, "You need to get out of the bathroom. *pause* Do you want a time out? *pause* You need to listen. I am getting very air-ro-tated with you." Nice. I'm pretty sure I don't use THOSE exact words....more like, "You're driving me bananas." Hmmmm.

My 3 yr old had just seen the Lion King, and we were talking about what kind of animals Timon and Pumbaa were. He knew that Pumbaa was a warthog, but he had to guess about Timon...

"Is he a snake?"
"No..."
"Is he a person?
"No..."
"Wait... what were we talking about again??"
(lol) "Timon. He's a meerkat."
"Oh! That's right, he's made of glass. He could break."

And then I had to try to enunciate enough to make him realize I was not saying "mirror."

And one time, when he was two, while avoiding bed time, he came out of his room and said "Mom, I need some asparagus."

My son, then 3.5, was bathing with his 1.5 yr old sister. As I washed her hair, I noticed he was staring at her in a perplexed way. Then he asked me..."Momma, why does sister only have a butt?"

I had just explained to my 6 year old how important it was not to give up while working on a new gymnastics move. I was reminding her of the saying "If at first you don't succeed try try again" so I started the sentence. "If at first you don't succeed..." and then I paused for her reply. She said "Never do it again." Ug.

My daughter told me "I love the bottom of your heart"=0)
My son says " for crackin' sakes" =0)

3 1/2 yr old boy (said just this week): I (Jess) farted. I said in a surprised voice "What was that?!?!" and my son says "That was a fart. I know a lot about farts. They smell bad. And you're not supposed to talk about them because they're gross."

Backtrack - same boy age 2 1/2 going on 3yrs: "Gammie, you have big nipples." (yes, he watched his Grandma change clothes. He STILL talks about her nipples sometimes.

My mom had found the old left over party supplies from my daughter's (now almost two and half) first birthday and so when she was sitting in her high chair at grandma's on Friday, she put on a pink party hat and said "Look at me! I'm adorable!". It was way way too cute and funny, and yes, she was adorable.

I loved hearing our youngest say "spasghettie." Also we would sometimes take the boys to Mr. Gatti's as a treat. He called it "Mr. Daddy's."

Driving in my car with my 9yo grandson. We pass an adult store named the "Love Shop"...he said..."Me-Me...I bet there is a bunch of Valentine stuff in there"!!! Still innocent and I'm happy....but it was halarious!!!

One that stands out for me is when my 15 year old daughter was 2. She was busy for a long time lining up all her brother's toy cars in 2 lines all the way down our passage. I watched for a while and eventually asked her what she was doing. "I'm playing bumpity-bumpity twaffic" :)

When my 6yr old (on Friday :() was about 18 mos old she would be playing and when she would fall down (which was often) she would yell " I ok, me head ok" I sure miss those days.

Our 4 yr old came in and said his sister ( who's 3) called him Josyah Williams Rxxxxxx... but I told her my name is Josyah William Brxxxxxx... but I will let you just call me Josyah, ok.

Just the matter of fact way he said it, we all just laughed. It was so cute how serious he was about it. :)

I was rushing my three year old, telling her to hurry up. She looked up at me and says, "I didnt mean to cause trouble mommy". What a sweetheart!

The other day I was in the store with my 2 year old daughter and we were standing in line behind this older woman. Well my daughter looks up at the lady and tugs her shirt, the lady looked down and my daughter said " you have a big butt" I ctried so hard not to laugh but did give a slight chuckle. I couldn't resist. It was cute.

Once my nephew (about 4 at the time) was listening to my sister and i discuss something in which I said "Ok, you buy it and I will pay you for it later" and my nephew - bold as could be said "It's MY money and I want it now!" (I know he got it from that JG Wentworth commercial...it was HILARIOUS... I guess he's been watch too much t.v).

One other time, my son (about 2 at the time) was singing Old Mac Donald had a Farm in the car with me. I said "Old Mac Donald had a ????" and wait for him to pick an animal -- but this time he said "A TACO" (so teasingly I go along with it, what does a Taco say??) without missing a beat he says "With a Crunch crunch here and a crunch crunch there...." (hilarious and adorable)

My ten year old son recently had to miss a day of school due to a stomach bug. He said to me..."Oh my gosh Mom, If I went to school and threw up there, that would have completely ruined my reputation". Lol

These stories are so cute! Made my day reading them.

About a few months ago, while sitting on the toilet, my 3 year old told me to leave the bathroom because he needed his "privacy".

He goes to a preschool where he's always learning about current events
or history. One day, we were sitting in a diner and my son said (btw, he naturally has a loud voice),
"Mommy, we can't go to Egypt because the white man want to take everything for themselves."
It caught me off guard; we so happened to be in a restaurant where there were quite a few "white men" around (and we're Asians). So I whispered,
"Shhh..huh? What? What did the white man do?"
Later, I asked my husband who is a history buff, and he understood that my son was talking about Imperialism, when the British colonized Egypt at the end of the 1800s. Lol!!
