My 9 year old DS after my run last night:
"I'm concerned about you running in this cold weather at your age."
On the one hand, his genuine concern over my well being was very sweet. On the other hand, I'm only 38 you tiny jerk. I'm young and vital, damn it!
My 7 y/o DD just called me at work to ask, "If we lived in the wild, would you eat me?"
I had no idea if she meant living in the wild as humans, or as animals so I just said probably not. She said, oK love you, and hung up. That was literally the only reason she called.
My 7 year old can get my mother to stop bugging her (my mother can be relentless if she thinks you need a sweater or piece of fruit, etc). She smiles sweetly and says in a firm voice "I said no thank you, Nanna." Every time.
Drives my mother nuts. Mom says "She says it so nicely I can't force her because she's being rude or sassy."
DS1 is 4 going on 14. We were hanging our dining room chandelier this weekend and ran into some issues and blew the fuse. DS1 wanders in... "I TOLD you that wouldn't work." LOL Thanks kiddo.
We get "TOLD YOU" quite often these days. Usually when he has no idea what is actually happening.

I was totally done Christmas shopping for DD (turned two last month) when out of nowhere she started insisting she wanted a pink stool for Christmas. "Mama, no yike dis one ..." (A little wooden stool that was mine when I was little) "want pink stool present, okay? Santa bring Yidia pink stool, okay?" While holding my face in her hands.
So I ordered her a $60 PBK pink fucking stool the other night. I'm so screwed, lol. But really, it's a fairly reasonable request.

I learn a lot from that one.
Lol! My teen still uses that... on ME. And it works. Damn politeness

This past Saturday, my H's aunt, cousin, her husband and 3 kids all visited for desert as a little post Thanksgiving GTG.
My almost 4yo was showing off how he could jump high, balance on one leg, etc, and then he and the other kids were going back and forth doing these things.
My boy had to one up them and said, "But can you do penis tricks?" while simultaneously attempting to pull his pants down.
I chaperoned David's field trip to a pioneer village and the class got to visit an old one-room school house. David said "mom, was this like it was for your when you were in school?"
L has been watching a lot of Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom lately, which is voiced by the same people who voice the Peppa Pig characters, so she's picking up on Britishisms. H recently bought her a little doctor's kit, so she has us come into her office (the living room) to check us out, and once we say we feel better, she says, "Very well then" *gathers up her kit* "Bye Mommy/Daddy, I hope I don't see you for long!" (trying to say she hopes she doesn't see us for a long time) and walks away.

The other night DD1 was goofing around instead of doing homework. I told her to get the work done, because that was the most important thing for right now. She looked at me and said, no, the most important thing is that I live a happy life."
Every time I tell my daughter to do something in my mom-voice, she looks at me with big, sad eyes and says, "But we have to be best friends, Mommy."
She's 3. She's also told me to fly away on my broom.
SHE'S 3.
*cries*
Omg. My dad has a story from when my parents were still dating. My grandfather (mother's father) was a raging alcoholic. He and my grandmother were having a nasty fight in front of them one day (my nana liked her drank too) and my grandfather said to my nana "Why don't you get on your broomstick and FLY AWAY."

We were having character dining at Disney World last week, and he was looking for Stitch. I didn't see him, so I said "maybe he's going to the bathroom. " He loudly says "Mom, you're wrong. aliens don't have wieners!" We heard several snickers and chuckles from the surrounding tables.

Your kid cracks me up. I can't get DS to "get" Santa yet, and when I ask him what he wants for Christmas, he asks for yogurt. But like, he just wants yogurt *right then*. Lol
