Children.

They have an amazing knack for saying the most embarassing thing, the funniest thing, the most heartbreaking thing, the most interesting thing, the most tear jerking thing at the best time - or not! as they learn to develop their speech and use of their tongues, lips, mouths, they will mispronounce or use inappropriately chosen words. What have yours said and when?

**Our little one was working on a money lesson. I heard something that sounded much like a racial slur, to our horror! My little one was very upset unsure what the trouble was. Later in the day, our little one said it again, I had to really think about what it could be. It eventually occured to me, the word was saying "nickel" MUCH to my relief!

My 2 boys were supposed to be picking up their toys, when my 2 year old said something that sounded like Oh Sh.t. (My 4 year old had just said that a few days prior, after hearing his older cousin say it). I really got onto my 2 year old for saying it. I said you don't ever say that again. He looked so ad, he started crying, he was very upset and hur.
It was a little bit later that I realized he had set ''All Set''. I felt so bad.

My 9 year takes dance & she has hit a growth spurt in her feet. Her shoes were getting a little snug, but her new ones that I ordered hadn't came in yet. After she got done with one class, she came out to put on the problem shoes to go on to the next lesson. When digging the shoes out of the dance bag, she said in front of a room full of moms, "Here comes the whore." I said, huh??? And she repeated it again. I asked her what did she mean, where did she hear that word & I finally figured out she was trying to say "Here comes the horror," meaning the too snugshoes. After a quick speech lesson she now can pronouce horror properly!

Just today, my daughter Savannah (she will be 3 in May) said, "Mommy, I know how to cwap." We in the car, and knowing I couldn't have heard her right, I just asked her to say it again. "Cwap, Mommy, see," she was CLAPPING her hands to the music.
We really try to monitor the kids' television watching, but for some reason Savannah is kind of fascinated with commercials. After seeing one of the money commercials (can't remember which one), she started going around the house saying the catchphrase from the commercial--"It's my money and I want it now!"
My other daughter, Hayley is now 7, but she too can surprise us with what comes out of her mouth. Just before school started this year, I had bought her some new clothes. I actually thought they would be a little big for her, but unfortunately they skirts were too small. They were the right size, but either they ran small or she went through a growth spurt. Seeing my confusion since everything but the skirts fit, she says matter-of-factly, "They're probably made in China, Mommy." We had been over at her grandparents the night before and there had been another news story about defected stuff from China. She heard it.
Both of our daughters can really keep us on our toes with the things they say!

Tricia you had me just a giggling with your cwap story! There are a lot of good laughs in this whole thread....

We are having fun with Lillian's "sit", or as Lillian says it, rhymes with hit, right now. She runs around with her Barbie in a sitting position. She likes to say "Barbie s^it in car." Barbie is "s^itting" down everywhere!

Ladies,
These are such funny things!! My 15 month old says some of the craziest things already!

Like last week I was over at my mom's and I was chasing her around the living room playing with her.......well she got back into the hallway and all the doors were closed and she says "mama get back!" I was astonished!! I had never heard her put two words together and they actually make sense AND pertain to what was going on!

I also had to get her her own potty already.......she loves to go in the bathroom and pat on the top of it and say "mommy I sit"..... if she's talkin this much at 15 months... I can only imagine what we're in for.....

I got another one. My husband is taking an accounting class. He was reading his book and our 2 yr old starting looking at the book. He asked, "Do you know anything about accounting?" She replied,"yes, 1, 2, 3!" So, our 2 yr old knows a-counting!

Mine has an interesting sound when she attempts to pronounce fox. Use your imagination it is a very dirty word. She has a small childrens bible we used to take to church but the last four pages all have foxes and she will yell out over and over fox, fox, fox, mispronounced of course. So to avoid any confusion we do not take the picture bible to church with us anymore.

These are great! My daughter will be three in June and she has a few that have cracked me up or embarrassed me:

She is fascinated with large buses and trucks. She kept talking about a truck but the "tr" sound came across like an "f" sound. It took my husband and I a while to figure that out...and of course I immediately accused him of having a "potty mouth" around her.

Also, we were in the grocery store the other day and an elderly lady asked her how she was and she very quickly responded "My name is Vegas and I do not eat Poop because Poop is yucky! Do you have Poop in your mouth?" I almost died. I can only guess she saw a dog do that and asked about it to her grandparents or something like that.

These are very cute-
My 3 year old is a trip she says some of the funniest things I think my husband and I have ever heard.
I usually pump in the bedroom while my husbands is out in the other room with the kids. Alayna will come running down the hall yelling "are you pumping you boobs?" or " Are your boobs covered so I can come in there?"
Then the last few times she has gone to the bathroom she gets up and says "look mom I made a turtle... an alligator... a frog...
When she is playing she will say "darn it I'm trying to make my pee stay in" then she runs to the bathroom.

My favorite story is from when my oldest was three. We were in the car for a while and he says, "Mommy I know how they make lightening bugs." Curious, I asked him to explain. He says,"First, they pull the wings off a mosquito and glue them to an ant. They they get a tiiiiny little light bulb and screw it into the ant's but!" I still laugh about that, especially now that he is a tween and isn't quite as cute anymore, lol.

CUTE STORY...
WHEN MY OLDEST WAS 5 YEARS OLD SHE CAME INTO THE KITCHEN AND WITH THE MOST SINCERE LOOK ON HER FACE SHE SAYS: MOMMY I DON'T WANT TO BE PREGNANT.
LAUGHING ON THE INSIDE I SAID: OK, HONEY. WELL I THINK THATS SOMETHING YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME.
SHE WALKED OUT, NOTHING ELSE....
ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER SHE WALKS BACK IN AND SAYS: WELL, WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT, DO YOU HAVE TO GO THE DOCTOR OR CAN'T YOUR HUSBAND TAKE CARE OF THAT?
NOW I'M REALLY LAUGHING ON THE INSIDE.
I REPLIED: WELL HONEY, THERES NOT A WHOLE LOT OF HUSBANDS OUT THERE THAT TAKE CARE OF THAT KIND OF STUFF, SO I THINK MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.
AGAIN SHE WALKS OUT.......
SHE WALKS BACK IN AND SAYS:
WELL I FIGURED IT OUT, I'LL JUST MARRY A DOCTOR.
ALL I COULD SAY WAS...WE'LL KEEP WORKING ON THAT.
THIS WAS ALL FIGURED OUT BY 5 YEARS OLD. SHE IS 13 NOW, AND STILL WORKING ON THAT DOCTOR THEORY.

like the stories my 7 year old asked me the other day while we were at publix when i was going to get married again because she wanted a stepdad i told her it takes time

Okay ladies...these are all funny stories...but have I got one for you...

I was getting dressed the other day and my oldest daughter came into the room. She proudly told me that she could tell I was losing weight! How great I thought....then she followed it by telling me that she could tell I was losing weight because my boobies were almost down to my belly button!! LOL!! Wasn't that nice of her! I told my husband that when my boobies reach my knees...I'm getting a boob lift!

Michelle,
Your post cracked me up because I can hear our own saying something like that! In their own words and the way they relate to their world and us.


Just this evening, our younger son said to me "Oh, I'm getting old!" I said, "Well you are getting old-er" Then he said, "Well, first, I'm going to lose my teeth and then my hair!" I just cracked up! Now, where do they get it? We aren't losing our teeth and while my husband is losing his hair, it isn't at lightning speed or anything.

Oh, I have to add that our boys have acquired a humorous sense about them regarding bodily functions and toilet flushing. Is it just boys or do your girls think things like this are hilarious? Lately their favorite word is "nipple" and favorite saying or ending to a joke must be "flushed down the toilet." THANK GOD they have some sense about them to keep it at home, but I'm getting worried. lolol
