Said by the little ones

[Penguin]

My story is analogue to Steve's:

I was at a friend's bbq, and I was sitting next to their child, my 3 year old friend who adores me basically because we have the same mindset. I was just eating and chatting, when suddenly the little guy next to me shouts out, half into my direction, half to his mom, who sat across the table: " I'll do a turd on mommy's head!"
I turned my head away and bit on my cheeks not to burst out laughing, as this would have encouraged him. Gladly his mom took him with her inside for a talk, so I could finally explode with laughter.
The German word he said, makes it even funnier in relation to the bbq, as he said literally: "I'll make a poo-sausage"

What's up with 3yr olds and poo?

At age 3, poop is fascinating. You don't remember?

no, not really - but my mom told me that I loved chocolate covered raisins as a toddler, and I was on a meadow where rabbits used to be and do what they do, and I got confused a little... - but she said I spat it out!

He stood up, pointed at the wall, and shouted, or rather exclaimed:
Boobies! Boobies! Boobies! Boobies!

Wait, who said that? You or your son?

second point, I didn't know your were Dowly's dad.

Here's two from my eldest, now 18 yrs. of age.

1. At 3 years old, she played outside in the fenced in back yard. She had a thing for taking all of her clothes off on the patio and playing naked.

I called her back inside and told her never to take her clothes off outside again. She agreed and went back out to play, clothed.

10 minutes later, I look outside and she is naked again! I go out to the back deck and say, "Catherine, I told you not to take your clothes off outside again!"

She says, "But dad, I took them off inside!"


2. She is now 4 years old, and we have a mouse in the house. I get a couple standard snap-type traps and put one in the kitchen.
I demonstrate to her how it works and warn her, with my serious "dad" face, not to touch it or it will hurt her hand and maybe break her fingers.
She promises not to touch it and goes back to her room.

I set the trap, go back to my office, sit in my chair and star counting.

Before I get to thirty, there is a loud "SNAP!" followed by the most horrified scream you've ever heard, but no crying. I laugh silently all the way to the kitchen to find her in the opposite corner from the trap, staring at it like it betrayed her!

Yes, it caught her, but no injuries.

My little girl, three on Thursday, cannot say 'C/K/Qu' sounds but instead uses 'T' - it's quite normal for her to call her brother Torey (Corey) or want some Teese (Cheese) but hilarious when she says what a duck says.

Amazing how even though you curb your language around little ones they soon pick up on the one time you say something you shouldn't and repeat it at the most inopportune moments! But it does sound funny/cute!

You can't beat the logic of a four-year-old.



This isn't about what my daughter said, but how at that age they don't quite get the concept, and how mean daddy can be.

Again when Bethany was four, she hadn't quite figured out that if you're going to play one parent off of the other, you should get them alone first. My wife was in the kitchen, and I was sitting at the table, not three feet away. Bethany went up to her mother and said "Mommy, can I have ice cream?"

She said "Not right now, honey". So without missing a beat Bethany immediately turned to me and said "Daddy, can I have ice cream?"

I'm just too mean. Did I say "Not right now," or even "What did your mother just say?" No, I looked her in the eye and said "I don't know...why don't you go ask Mommy."

She stared at me for a full ten seconds, then wandered off, apparently trying to figure out what went wrong with her plan.
