Kids really do say (and do) the darndest things.
Every year I compile a list of all of the funny things that were said and done in our family over the year. Enjoy!
• “I’d rather get the swine flu than listen to the Jonas Brothers.”
• “I see London. I see France. I see Michelle Obama’s underpants.” [Background: We were playing a game as a family and the question we all had to answer was, “Things you should not say to the First Lady.”]
• “I’m picky with boys. I learned that from Mom. She was picky, too.”
• “Don’t put cheese between your toes.” Followed by, “And don’t put salami on your feet.”
• “No, it’s ‘pardon me,’ not ‘fart on me.’” [Background: Our daughter learned a song in preschool that ended with the lyrics “pardon me.” Not knowing what “pardon me” meant, our daughter substituted the phrase with one with which she was more familiar.]
• “Liar, liar your pants on fire,” said one of our daughters to another during a sibling argument. Confused by the phrase, our daughter lifted up her dress to look at her bottom and shot back with, “My bum not on fire!”
• After I spent hours in the dentist chair for her first root canal, one daughter said, “Mom now that you got your crown you really are a queen.”
• We had to make an emergency trip to the dentist after a “fight” between two sisters, but we thankfully discovered that the loose, bleeding tooth was just a baby tooth, not a permanent tooth. Phew!! Gotta love when family feuds draw blood and require emergency medical attention.
• Watched the movie Little Women with our little women who said “Mom’s just like Marmie.” While this is a nice compliment, to be fair they also said it’s because I always says things like, “I won’t have my girls being silly about boys.”
• We had to break the news to one of the girls that she can’t marry her Daddy but in fact has to find her own fantastic fellow to marry. She was quite disappointed.
• On a chilly SoCal night (i.e. 55 degrees) one girl said, “I want to move to Florida … because it’s warm there!” Poor spoiled California girl!
• 2 cans of hairspray + 2 hours of hair and makeup + 2 awesome Halloween parties = 1 girl dressed as Taylor Swift, 1 dressed as a Scary Witch, and 1 dressed as Cinderella. Add to that 2 tons of candy and 2 exhausted and happy parents (who dressed up as 1980s punk rockers)
• One child declared she’s come down with “the cough” this fall. Her only symptoms appeared to be a fake cough and lots of drama. We’re all glad she’s finally recovered from the “whine flu.”
• We witnessed one daughter share her first banana split with her Dad. It was both the sweetest thing and the most disgusting mess I’d ever witnessed. This daughter made double-dipping look like a minor offense.
• Aggie, our pug, turned 10 but still manages to act like a crazy puppy. She still barks at animals on TV (and Michael Jackson), is still more accurate at sniffing out pregnant women that any pregnancy test. She also suffers from SDFTRS (Seasonal Depression from the Rain Syndrome). Good thing we don’t live in Oregon.
