A minute ago my four year old took a can out of the pantry and asked me to open it.
As I'm opening it she says,"That's fruit,right Mom?"
"Yes,it's fruit."
"It's for me,right Mom?"
"Yes,it's for you."
After I hand her the bowl she walks off saying loudly," I have fruit cottontail! It's fruit cottontail!"

I love that "parade of trees"! lol! I have a similar story. We lived in San Diego when my youngest daughter was almost three. We decided to take the girls back home to Upper Michigan for Christmas that year.

My daughter wan't sure what to think about winter, but when she got inside the first thing said to my mother-in-law was..."Grandma! You have a bunch of bare naked trees out there!"

Tonight, my son was "helping" dad, who is helping a friend on a fixer-upper home.
I called DH's cell to ask a question and Scotty answered.

He said, "Momma, I wished on the first star tonight."
I said, "You did? What did you wish for?"
He told me he wished he was taller.
I said, "Nooo! You're growing too fast already!"
He says, "But I wanna be as tall as a... third-grader!"

Okay, I think I can handle that! LOL

My sister has two teenage daughters who hang out in the basement rec room. When she wants to call them upstairs she hollers down the vent in her dining room. My almost three year old loves to "help" her call the girls. The other day I caught him laying on his stomach under my end table calling "anybody in dere?" down my heat vent. I had to call my sister so she could get a good laugh out of it (as did I).

Also Carter's new answer to everything from eating dinner to sitting on the potty is "I can't, Mommy. I really, really busy" as he shakes his little head so pitifully.

Great stories.

Art Linkletter & Bill Cosby used to do a great job interviewing little ones, for these sorts of funny comments.

It's fun reading all these stories. It's been a while since I was amused by hilarious comments like that. Gosh, they grow up so fast.

When Scotty is disobedient or naughty he gets privileges taken away, such as riding the bus to school. Lately, I've been driving him alot, something about springtime, I guess.

This morning, I found myself once again driving him to school. On the way I asked him, "Do you know why I'm driving you today?"
He sighs, "I was naughty."
I said, "Yes, but what did you do that was naughty?"
He answered, "The usual."
(Sheesh, it's all I can do not to crack a smile sometimes!)

Then tonight, he made up for the naughtiness. DH was working late, so we went out for dinner. When we were leaving, he opened the door, and said "Ladies first."
Then on our way to the car, he stopped at the curb in the parking lot, held out his hand and said, "May I walk you across the road?"

my sisters kids do not like fried chicken very much. when her mother-in-law cooked chicken, she told the kids they had to eat a tiny piece to make grandma happy. her 3-year-old said, "i'll take a wing." the 5-year-old said, "i'll take a knee."
what was even more funny was when grandma started lecturing the kids on how she had to eat everything when she was little. she said, "when i was a little girl, we ate every part of the chicken. even their little peckers." well, she meant their beaks, but we still laugh all these years later!

DH took Scotty to get a much needed haircut today. When they got home, Scotty walked up to me and said, "Do you reco'nize me?"

Like I wouldn't know who he was!

I'm always amazed at how smart-alecky he can be, and then how innocent!

My three year old is still telling me "Happy Mother's Day Mommy!" and she says the same to my husband (her dad)! If I say it back to her, she replies "NO, It's YOUR Mother's Day Mumma!"

I received this in an email this morning and thought it would be appropriate to post here.

BY AN ANONYMOUS 2ND GRADE TEACHER

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade
classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and Usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it to school and talk about it, they're welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday.

First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord."

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement.

"Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, 'Oh, oh, oh!' Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. "She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!

Now the kid's doing this hysterical duck walk, holding her back and groaning. "My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man."

"They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this." Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall.

"And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!" This kid has her legs spread and with her little hands are miming water flowing away. It was too much!

"Then the middle wife starts saying 'push, push, and breathe, breathe.'"

"They started counting, but never even got past ten."

"Then, all of a sudden,out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff, they all said was from Mom's play-center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there."

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat.

I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another Erica comes along.

Life is meant to be lived . . . enjoy! Laughing helps.

It's like jogging on the inside.

Today my four year old son put his hand over his heart and said, "I feel my heart beeping; that means I'm still alive doesn't it Mom?"

I love it that our hearts "beep".

That is so funny auntiemike. When my son was about 3 he was laying on me and told me he could hear my heart beeping. So I had to just laugh at your story.

The other day my son (he just turned 4) and I were talking about my birthday. He turned and asked me "So, Mom, how many are you going to be on your birthday?" And I said, "Honey, I'm going to be 34." He looked at me and said, "But we don't have that many candles!"

Jewels, you're just a spring chicken! My four year old had to figure out how to get 55 candles on my last cake. Hang in there with your precious children. It sure sounds like you are enjoying your mothering time with them. You are the most important person in their life right now!

My MIL died about almost 2 yrs ago, and she was Scotty's best buddy.

The other day DH and Scotty were in the car, listening to the Buddy Jewell song, "Help Pour Out the Rain". (He's a country singer - the one that won Nashville Star last year.)

Scotty said, "Daddy, whenever I hear this song I can feel Grandma touching me."
DH almost had to pull over!

Here are they lyrics, for those that don't know the song:

Help Pour Out The Rain (Song Lyrics)

Artist: Buddy Jewell
Help Pour Out The Rain (Lacey's Song): Buddy Jewell
Written by Buddy Jewell


The moment was custom-made to order
I was ridin' with my daughter on our way back from Monroe.
An' like children do, she started playin' twenty questions,
But I never could've guessed one would touch me to my soul.

She said: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
"Are we goin' there to visit, or are we goin' there to stay?
"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

Well, I won't lie: I pulled that car right over,
An' I sat there on the shoulder tryin' to dry my misty eyes.
An' I whispered: "Lord, I wanna thank you for my children.
"'Cause your innocence that fills them often takes me by surprise."

Like: "Daddy, when we get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
"Are we goin' there to visit, or are we goin' there to stay?
"Am I gonna see my Grandpa? Can I have a pair of wings?
"An' do you think that God could use another Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

Well, I thought about it later on,
An' a smile came to my face.
An' when I tucked her in to bed,
I got down on my knees an' prayed.

Lord, when I get to Heaven, can I taste the Milky Way?
"I don't wanna come to visit 'cause I'm comin' home to stay,
"An' I can't wait to see my family and meet Jesus face to face.
"An' do you think, Lord, you could use just one more Angel,
"To help pour out the rain?"

Mmmm, can I help pour out the rain?
