Being litter-mates, we adopted both Taz and Pandora at the same time.

Then he started to explain the best way to carry kittens, and she stopped him and said, "Oh, I never carry them; they scratch my tits!" I nearly choked and the vet just flushed red and turned away, but I could see him wanting to burst out laughing.

And out of the mouths of a child who wasn't mine:

We were watching one of Meg's many gymnastic practices one night and one of the other girls on the team was working with a coach right in front of us on the horse. She made some slight error, and the coached yelled to her, "Remember what I told you about (so-and-so gymnastic term I don't remember)??" And she yelled back and said, "No, tell me again? It wore off!" {#Lol}

Greg and I still say that to each other: "Tell me again, honey? It wore off..."

i'm going to use that!

When I was a toddler Mom made a cake for Dad's BD. it was a 2 layer cake and she had put the layers out to cool.

Well a bit later she came into the kitchen and there I was with two fistfuls of cake. Mom recalls me looking at her with a big smile and saying:

"Ummm pie good."

My daughter, when she was six, was angry at me because I had sent her to her room- she felt that she did not deserve the outrageous treatment. She had decided that the situation she was in was the cause of her younger brother.
My son, who at the time was four, went into her room and asked, "Nina, what's wrong?" (I was in the next room, and could hear.)
Christina said, in a voice that sounded like ground glass "Eric, I have lost my temper, and I'm not even going to try and find it!"

Good one, it reminds me:
About 10 years ago I was visiting Mom for dinner, my niece who was about 5 was there with her brother who was 4. We were having pizza.
She got her slice & chips, then looked to my stepdad Joe who keeps a bunch of spices next to him to add to his pizza. She started asking what they were, when she got to, and picked up the crushed red pepper, Joe told her "put that down - THATS HOT!"....she thought for a moment, looked down the table at her brother then back at Joe and kinda half-innocently said: "My Brother Likes HOT"!!

My kid once asked me why more radio stations didn't play non-stop "Gloomy Sunday" by Heather Nova. I was dumb-founded. I mean, if you can give me a good reason, I'd love to hear it.

Happy Father's Day!!
On Father's Day, we had a big get together at my brother's house. After awhile The Dads start opening their gifts. My son & his Mom gave me one of those decorated party bags with a half dozen little gifts in it....I got to one in the middle, it was delicately wrapped by itself, and I was told to becareful with it. I unwrapped it to reveal a plaster cast (like you would put one a broken bone) of my son's whole hand - each finger painted a rainbow color - kool! ....So, as I took it out I was again told to be careful. The base of the middle finger had separated when my wife took it off his hand, so it wiggled a bit....without missing a beat, my son (who's seven) says 'Dad - that just means it's waving HI! to you).

SO, for the rest of the day ALL of My Family constently "Waved" at me with their middle fingers!!

My sister-in-law had taught my 3-year old nephew the proper names for body parts. One afternoon while she was pushing him in the stroller along the sea wall in oh-so-snooty West Van, he began yelling joyously, "Vulva! Vulva!!" leaving her to say loudly "Yes, dear, we drive a Volvo!"

My little guy has what might be called Oppositional Defiance Disorder (or to frustrated parents, Fuck You Disease) ;) If I said "sit down" or "settle down" or "please clean that up", I'd get "sit up" "settle up" or "clean it down" as a reply...

From Jerry Seinfeld:

Kids don't say, "Wait." They say, "Wait up, hey wait up!" Because when you're little, your life is up. The future is up. Everything you want is up. "Hold up. Shut up! Mum, I'll clean up. Let me stay up!"

Parents, of course, are just the opposite. Everything is down. "Just calm down. Slow down. Come down here! Sit down. Put... that... down."

:D

One day I heard him sniffling and asked "is your nose running?"

"No, my nose is walking."

yep - he's my son

When the Athens Olympics were on last summer, I was trying to get my 8-year-old son interested in the historical aspects of it, explaining to him that Greece was where the first Olympics were held in ancient times. I thought he would get a kick out of knowing that the original male athletes often competed in the nude. He didn't laugh as I expected, and after a moment's thought asked me, "Did they have to make their private parts all blurry on TV?"

Another one: When I admonished my daughter once to "Behave!" she complained, "But I'm being have!"

Funny, my standard reply as a kid was always "NO-Have!"

Reminds me of one. Watching the sun slide behind the ocean, I asked "When the sun sits, what does it sit on?"

I thought the water was going to put it out... (I was only three)

My ex and I kept a running list of cute things our son said. We even combined his name with a French word which means "silly things," and so the TristÃ¢neries were born.

Ex has the list, and of course I can't remember any of them (Parents! Write down all the cute things your kids say!), but I do remember my daughter asking me a question when she needed to wash her hands. She was about 3 at the time

"Mommy, can you remonte my manches?"

This is a lovely example of franglais. C. wanted me to push up her sleeves.
