Funny things kids say

Funny!!!

We are still potty training (at almost 4, I know), but pretty much there. I had Dylan in underware in the car and we were about 5 minutes from home when Dylan says “I need the potty”. I asked him if he could hold it and he said nothing. I looked back and he had both hands between his legs holding on tight. I didn’t know how to explain what I meant, but Dylan “held it” all the way home…..

I love this thread! So funny!

Great stories!!!! I can’t wait until Sarah is able to talk and make us laugh…and embarrass me in public with the things she says!

Wait, I can kind of add a story, but it’s more sweet than funny. DH was feeding Sarah the other night and sat her up to burp her. I was sitting in the other chair and waved at her really big and was saying “HI!”. She lifted up her arm like she was waving back! She did it several times and the last time we both SWEAR that she said “HI” back. It’s moments like that that make it all worthwhile! The BEST part is that I know there are a million more to come!

They’re so funny! I swear they make me laugh all the time.

Yesterday Sarah was admiring a picture of her riding a horse that we took two summers ago. It’s on our fireplace and she was going on and on about how next summer we’ll go back to the zoo and she’ll ride “Happy” the horse again. Then she turned to Hailey and said- “But not you, Hailey. You’re too small to ride a horse. You might fall off.” Then she paused and seemed to be thinking and then decided to add “And you’d throw up on him and then he’d get so mad”. I couldn’t help but smirk, but also think poor Hailey. When I told her that it wasn’t nice to say that and that Hailey throws up because “her tummy is sick”, she said “Okay, we could bring a towel and wipe the horse up after”.

I love what kids say! It is so cute!

Alexis has been asking what everything is lately since she is finally speaking. So during her bath yesterday she pointed to her vagina and asked what is this? I told her it was her vagina, she told me NO Mommy, Lexus Front! Mommy vagina, lexus and tay front!! I didn’t understand why she called it her front, so I pointed to her butt and she said it was her butt I was expecting her to say back. I told DH the story and he said he was to blame since when he bathes her he says, it is time to wash your butt and your front (meaning her vagina)! So my daughter has a butt and a front, no Vagina, but Mommy and Daddy has a “Gina”

Christine, Sarah also talks openly about her “gina” in public. In fact when I picked her up at at school a few days ago, one of the boys bumped into her and I heard her scream “Ow, Noah, you just hit me in my gina”. (To which his response was, “what?”)

Not to get tangential, but how old were your kids when you told them what the genatalia of the opposite sex was called? We’ve always referred to Sarah and Hailey as having vaginas (no pet words) during bath time or diaper change time etc. But we’ve never told them what a penis was called. A few weeks ago Sarah told me that girls pee sitting down and boys pee standing up “like this” (doing a demonstration of a boy holding a very small penis). I wanted to see what she knew, so I asked her “Why do boys pee standing up?” and her response was “I don’t know, that’s a good question mummy.” I didn’t elaborate, mainly because I never know what additional questions will come out of her mouth. (I know that she knows that only girls have vaginas because a few years ago, sometime when she was around 18 months or so, she saw my husband step out of the shower and proclamed that he had a “tail”!)

Oh my gosh – Lori and Christine your stories made me laugh out loud! Tails, adorable penis’, and bagina’s!!! LOL!! I guess that day will come soon for us as well! Too funny!!!
