Funny things kids say

Sour cream

Son: "What did you make for dinner, Momma?"
Me: "Burritos. Well, burrito bowls. It has rice, beans, corn, some spices, cheese, and sour cream."
Son: "No! I don't like it!"
Me: "Yes, you do. You've had it before, and you like it just fine. Sit down."
Son: *starts to get weepy-sniffly voice* "I can't eat it! I don't like sour! I only like sweet!"
Me: *tries very hard not to snicker* "It doesn't really taste sour. That's just what it's called."
In the end, I ended up having him come into the kitchen with me, take a taste of the sour cream by itself, and then he was fine with it and ate the burrito without a problem.

Pee again

My youngest, who turned two about 3mos ago, still occasionally needs help getting her pants down in the restroom, so I frequently just go with her when she needs to go. Yesterday as I turned on the light in the room, it was obvious that one of my older boys had not only not lifted the seat, he'd not aimed well either, and there was quite a bit of pee all over the seat. Before I could holler at the boys to come clean it up, the 2-year-old heaved a big sigh and said, "Oh dang. They did it AGAIN."

No ants in MY pants

Earlier, Sean was being really squirmy while sitting in Daddy's lap. He wanted daddy's drink, he wanted to type on daddy's computer.. anything that daddy was doing, he wanted to do.
Finally, dad - getting frustrated - says, Sean! Do you have ants in your pants!?
Sean quickly looks pulls his pants down to show daddy and says calmly, "No, daddy. I do not have ants in my pants!"

Centre of the world

Daddy: just so you know, the world does not revolve around you.
Daughter: ! No, Dad, you're just saying a joke. Hahaha! You're funny, Daddy.

Biting zombies

My son likes to pick up the 'Day of the dead' DVD and tell the zombie on the back 'NO BITING.'

Monkey paint

N and I were discussing how to make new paint colors by mixing others.
Me: What do you get if you mix red and yellow?
N: Orange!
Me: Blue and red?
N: Purple!
I start marveling over what a smart little guy he is. But then I asked,
Me: What do you get if you mix all the colors together?
N: A monkey!

Movie's over

When we went to go see a movie, a family with a little boy of about 4 sat further to the left of us. Before the movie there was a little short cartoon. After the short the little boy said "why are we still sitting here? We already saw the movie!"

Reading in your head

We've been talking about how he doesn't have to read everything out loud - sometimes, you can just read them in your head, to yourself. He picks up a book today and starts reading it aloud. I said, "remember how you can read things in your head?" He looks at me, says, "Oh, yeah," and then puts his forehead in the book.

See you in Montana

K2: Mom, can I live with you when I grow up?
K1: Dad says when you turn 18 you are out of the house. You’ve got to “Get a life!”
K2: But, I want to live with you, Mommy.
Mom: I’d like you to live with me, I suppose I could charge you rent.
K1: How much would that be, Mom?
Mom: Oh, maybe $1200 a month.
K1: Are you crazy? $1200? For $1200 I could get my own condo or something.
Mom: Do you realize the house across the street is renting for $8000.00 a month? Do the math. You might be able to get a nice condo in Montana.
K1: See you in Montana, Mom!

Stuck

Was giving the littlest one a good morning hug earlier today, squeezing him and telling him over and over that he was, "mine" which is one of his new favorite words, I might add.
I asked him "What are you?" Now, every day, his vocabulary improves so I kind of expected him to say "mine" right back at me, but no! Not that one! He replied ...
"Stuck!"
Great! His mummy gives him a hug and he thinks he’s stuck. It was actually very funny and had me in hysterics! Stuck indeed!
