So today on this site seems sort of angry and out of whack so I thought I would post a funny
Just to preface this my family is mostly Mormon or mostly gay not always a good mix but I am very open with my kids about both-
I was getting everyone ready the other morning and the phone rang about 7:30 the woman on the other end of the phone was a Mormon missionary looking for information on my brother ( gay brother- the church apparently does not know this) I told the lady I didnt have any information on him and I couldnt help her ( okay I lied) and hung up the phone .
My husband says- "who was that?"
I say- " It was the Mormons looking for "__" ( gay brother)
My 8 year was walking by and looked at me with fear in his little face and said "Why what are they going to DO to him?"
First I laughed so hard I thought I would pee my pants then I explained calmly that they wouldn't DO anything to him he is just fine.
He informed me that I really need to call his uncle and tell him the Mormons are looking for him just in case.
Really just a post for entertainment value but if you have a comment feel free to leave it
Yesterday I muttered something about needing peace & quiet. My five year old looked up from her coloring and stated, "Mama, you will never have peace & quiet. You have children."
When I taught 5th grade two years ago, I had a special needs student come up to me as we were lining up for recess and ask, "Am I growing a mustache?" I peered closely at his upper lip and replied, "It looks like you are." To which he replied, "So are you." (And that's when I started going to the threader at the mall.)
This same student also started flicking my arms one day and said "Ooooh, fat." When I told him that was rude he responded, "But it's the good kind of fat."
Yours sounds like a TV sitcom, the Mormons and the Gays
In December my DH got frustrated with our little one and threatened to tell Santa if he didnt .... whatever. My son took offense with this comment and very quickly came back with "Well if you tell Santa on me, then I'll tell GOD on you!" I cracked up and said "well he just Trumped Santa with God !
We took it as too smart to be smart mouthed"
Well mine is not really a cute story, more like profound. It taught me how much I learn from my kids.
A month or two ago, I was at a specialist's appointment with my daughter. He had just finished giving me some bad news re: the issues we are dealing with with my daughter. I had not expected. Honestly,I had thought that was more of a routine appointment (we have one a month) so for him to give me this bad news, just caught me off guard (though I am usually free with my waterworks). So of course my reaction was tears. I started crying, which I hate doing in front of my daughter. She's 6. And the specialist was right there. And she looks at me with a huge smile on her face and says, why are you crying mommy, at least I am alive and happy.
Wow. She's 6, and I am ancient, and she was able to find a positive outlook in this whole mess, and I wasn't. I stopped crying right the second she said that and I grabbed her and said I love you so much. Thank you for being alive and happy.
I will never forget that moment.
Today my 3 year old daughter yells out from the bathroom "Mom can you wipe my beehive"
One morning when my son was about 2 he decided he wanted to eat mustard for breakfast. I told him we don't just eat mustard and asked what he would like to put it on to which he replied "TEETH!!"
Santa's note this year got this response:
"Mom, will you read this to me? I can't read christian."
One day my daughter (5 at the time) was bugging me for something (or about something, I don't even remember what). Anyway, I had enough and said "just drop it!" She looked at me so seriously confused and said "drop what? I'm not even holding anything."
Too funny how literal kids are!
One of the best for me was one day when my oldest was about 4. I had told him to go inside and put on some underwear (he put it over his face:)
BAHAHA, thought it was just me. I guess we ALL got our period today!
Thanks for the giggle!
:)
That is soooooooooo hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing:)
After my sons DR appt today he got a lollipop from the office lady and when he came out he said to me "her cute". My son just turned 4
When the nurse came out to get him, he said to her "my mom is a bad girl" I'm not sure where that came from but it was cute.
Very, very funny. I have to wonder what the family gatherings are like!:)
Thanks for the laugh, R.. You are right - some questioners are in a foul mood today and I'm glad to read this!

Thanks, everyone. I needed this today!
I do home childcare. Yesterday a 2.5 year old girl and a 3 year old boy were playing with the toy dishes. Girl says "I have sour BOOZE juice in my cup!". Boy says "I have BEER juice in mine!". They immediately CLINK! their glasses, and both proceed to slug back their little shot glasses of pretend spirits, both make a very sour looking face, go "aahhh!" and slam them down on the table.
Watch what you do, as they are paying attention! LOL...right down to the interpretation of the "sour" face! I laughed so hard! I assume they saw some family celebrating over the holidays!!!
