Kids Say the Darndest Things

Some neighbor women and I were out for a walk tonight. We started talking about the funny things that kids say. This reminded us of the show, “Kids Say the Darndest Things”. Remember that one?

I thought I would share some with you. If you have any of your own- please post them in the comment section below!

Neighbor Tami to 3 year old daughter- “I need you to stay in the stroller because this is Mommy’s exercise time.” Daughter asks, “Why do you need to exercise?” “So I can be happy.” Daughter replies, “Well, you are not letting me exercise and be happy!”

After singing a hymn with my nanny children back  in the college days, the 4 year old girl pondered- “I have a princess voice now. When will I have a queen voice like you?”

Ben age 4 after paying back Dad for a toy- which cost all of his money- “Oh, this is going to be really rough. I should never have buyed that.”

Me age 3 1/2 when told to behave for the babysitter- “I will be a have; I WILL be a have!”

I explained to a young boy in therapy- “I chose this activity so you could see that there is more than one right way to do something.” He exclaims, “That’s AMAZING! You put a lesson in a craft!”

Co-worker overhearing her neighbors: Neighbor Mom asking her 5 year old daughter- “What did you play with the other neighbor kids tonight?” Daughter shrugs and says, “Oh, I was just trying to bug the hell outta them.”

Ben’s cousin talking with her 3 year old: Daughter says, “I’m frustrated.” “Why are you frustrated?” Daughter sighs, “Because I’m a woman.”

    We were at Target, with Katie’s 1st grade school supply list. We had crayons, a pencil box, etc. in the shopping cart. Katie’s Dad says “We still need 3 pencils.” Katie replies “No…we only need 2.” We all looked at the list while Katie pointed and said “See? It says 3….no….2 pencils!” It actually said “3 No. 2 pencils” (as in #2)!!
