Kids say weird and funny shit. Here’s some stuff my kids said recently.
- I was cleaning out the refrigerator and Braedan saw me throwing away some old antibiotics.
Braedan: Are those mine? (In a panicked sort of voice)
Me: Yes.
Braedan: I didn’t finish them?
Me, exasperated: Yes, honey. You took what you needed. These were the leftovers.
Braedan: Can you save those? You know, for a treat?
I give a WTF look
Braedan: What? They taste so good.
- A conversation about Star Wars.
Braedan: The Sith troopers are from the Old Republican.
Me: I think you mean Old Republic. Not Old Republican.
Braedan: Oh. That would be Mitt Romney, right?
- Colin had been building a dog out of Legos, and we were talking about the various aspects of his creation while he waited for his breakfast.
Colin: Speaking of dogs, can we get one after I eat my oatmeal?
- We were driving by a new house being built.
Colin: Why aren’t we moving there?
Me: Why would we move there?
Colin: Because I think a new house would have lots of cool new toys for me to play with.
- Colin: Can Gavin have a sleepover with us?
Me: Maybe
Colin: Maybe means yes, right Mom?
- Colin, looking at a picture of his baby sister on my phone: I SO love her. I could never punch her in the face.
(WTF? Ok, clearly, he’s already punched her in the face.)
- Bonus: A Colin Joke
Colin: What did the car say to the cow?
Me: What?
Colin: Why are you in front of me?
(He bursts into laughter. So I try to test his own joke-making method on him.)
Me: What did the baby say to the tree?
Colin: What?
Me: Hi.
(He erupts into laughter. And I love his enthusiasm, but remind me to cross off stand-up comedy as a possible job option for him.)
