Out of the mouths of babes (the funny things kids say)

taniagirly by taniagirly Speaking(August 2007) (rank 351st)

 We all take photos right? and put them in albums to look through them from time to time? Some of the memories are so special as the children get older. I thought I'd share with you something that I do as well as taking photos:

Bryn my 3 year

old son says some really cute and funny things, and my husband and I were always forgetting what he would say.  Sometimes we put the boys to bed and have a glass of wine (it jogs your memory hehe) and remember all the funny things Bryn has said over the past couple of years.  The problem is that eventually we forget (even on the same day) so I now do something completely silly and sentimental.  I have a small, hardcover notebook and pen that I keep in my hand bag.  Every time Bryn says something absolutely priceless I write it down.  When Carden starts to talk we will do the same for him.  One day when they are older I will give them their books, as it is something very special to have.  I wish my mother did this for me! It gives you an idea of what you were like as a child.  Here are a few examples of the cute things he has said:  Please add your own because I know everyone has a few gorgeous things their kids have said.

He loves animals - but hasn't always been able to say their names:

Animal                         Translation

Rhinosausage           Rhinoceros

hippomapotamus     hippopotamus

oninont                       elephant

donin                          dolphin

Once his nanna was telling him all about god.  he had taken his wet socks off and put them outside.  After a few hours he went out and found that his socks were dry - he said 'look nanna Sue, my socks are dry by the son.  god made the son.  thankyou god for drying my socks all up'.

There are many more things that he has said, and it makes me smile every time I read the book.  I highly recommend doing this with your kids. Please add some more funny things that your children have said - they so innocently hilarious sometimes :)

Another thing that Bryn always says when he doesn't know the name of a shopkeeper is "Excuse me Mr Man, can I please have some sweeties?" It always gets a laugh out of them and nine times out of ten he manages to get some sweets for free!

Once Bryn was discussing the difference between pecs and boobs and he said "When I am a big boy if I eat all my dinner I'm going to have big boobs like a soldier!" Hehe.

My (dairy product confused) little sister (just turned 21) often gets reminded of the time when she was about 3 and called for mum to come out and look at the cheese-fly in the garden!

Hey! so you did - I just read it now. funny hehe, guess great minds think alike :) I don't think I was a member then so didn't see it.

Kids are funny, and there is new stuff always, so a repeat of the same theme generates new stories I guess :)

Re: Out of the mouths of babes (the funny things kids say)

I love that idea! I wish I'd done that for my kids when they were little.

Okay, classics in my family, that I can remember:

My brother, aged 4, standing under an apricot tree asked mum if he could climb up the peach tree and pick a plum. I'd love to see that! Cross pollenation eat ya heart out!

My eldest son, aged 3, looking at a glow in the dark christmas nativity setting in a neighbour's yard was saying, "Look Mummy, a baby!" A friendly onlooking woman tried to explain to him that it was Jesus, and my boy, so offended that she was trying to correct him yelled, "No! Not cheeses! It's a baby!"

My eldest boy again, 4 years old, at kindy, was telling his teacher what he knew about breasts. He prattled it off so fast she couldn't get a word in edgeways. "Mummy has big breasts, and Danni has big breasts, and Jeremy has little breasts, and I have little breasts, and Brendan has little breasts, and Daddy has big breasts!" Daddy was overweight at the time and decided to go on a diet and exercise regime after that. ROFL!

My daughter, just after starting year one, tells my brother that she likes year one a lot better than kindergarten because "they don't treat us like little children."

My youngest son had a way of saying "purple" that was so adorable and cute and it just can not be expressed in writing. It had a very poppy sound to the letter P's.

I used to call elephants effluents, and my brother couldn't pronounce my name as a kid and used to call me Gwengy for quite a number of years.
