hahahah! Most definitely have her say it for your parents..They might be able to use the laugh……A similiar thing happened to a boy at my daughters daycare….this boy loved to play with trucks, didn’t have a large vocabulary so would repeat the name of his favorite plaything over and over all day long….You probably know where this is going…the oy couldn’t say "tr" but could say "f"…I found this out because my daughter happened to pick this up and I asked the teacher where.;>..CHeers, C – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > We were at a restaurant over our vacation this weekend, & Anne Elizabeth > decided that she wanted to show us yet another new word.

Response:

Had the same thing with my daughter as a toddler but it was Fork! When she pronounced fork it came out f### ! Very embarrasing considering forks are everywhere (like clocks!). Leandra

Response:

My 2.5 yo came into our room the other morning because her nappy (diaper) had leaked and her pyjamas were wet, and said "I’m slightly moist" The other thing she says is, if I get something wrong, or use what she thinks is the wrong word for something, she’ll say in a very droll voice "Daddy got it wrong way size!"

Response:

When I was 2 (this was in 1968, Columbia, South Carolina — conservative heaven, you know) I couldn’t say the "tr" sound.  It always came out "f".  So you can imagine my mother’s shame when her darling little daughter started yelling about the fire truck that we could hear.

Oh, yes! Susan

Response:

We were at a restaurant over our vacation this weekend, & Anne Elizabeth decided that she wanted to show us yet another new word. She pointed to Daddy’s watch & said that it was a clock. She said it several times, pointing at it. Perhaps egged on by Mommy’s laughter (& Daddy’s, though not as much), she said it to the waitress, to the host, &, in the lobby, pointed to the "miniature" railway clock (about 6 1/2 feet tall), saying her new word over & over. But what was so funny abut that, you all ask? Well, at 17 months, the "cl" combination is a bit much for her, so she just left out the "l". Should I have her say this for my parents…? Susan

Oh, I have a few ‘embarassing’ stories that my kids have said in front of relatives.  Fortunately my relatives had a good sense of humour about it. Although I won’t be repeating them here, here’s one I can say: My 4 year old [named Connor] was given a bag of M&M’s and was seperating them into different colours and making shapes with them [squares, stars, etc.].  He can spell his name and a friend was watching him form shapes and asked him "Hey, can you spell your name out with the M&M’s?" My son looked at him like he was from Mars and without missing a beat replied "No, I can’t.  They only have M’s on them."

OK, My daughter likes to say "bye bye" to her toes when I put her shoes and socks on. Just the other day she managed to connect her first two words together.  Her first sentence?? "Bye Bye toes" .. as she put her feet into her socks. Just my $0.02 worth. Hope this helps, Gordon, Julie’s dad. PS: To reply: delete ‘X.bleeb’ from my e-mail address.

My 5 yo just saw some friends in a dance recital. The first thing he asked when we slunk in a half a minute late was, "What’s this number?" I was irritated the usher hadn’t given us a program, and went back to get one. I told him what the song was, and he said, "Yeah, but what’s this NUMBER?" He meant the little plate on the edge of the seat. At the finale, there were 60-70 kids ranging from preschoolers to college age, and they each held balloons of various colors, all bobbing around. Dave says, "Mom, that looks like DNA!"

I sing to my 2 year old daughter every night before bed (among other times). Anyway, my boyfriend came over for awhile the other night and was here as she was going to bed.  So, we sat on Lexi’s bed with her and she said, as usual, "I want ABCD." I started to sing it and she stopped me and said, "DAN–I want ABCD."  He started to sing it.  He got to H when she stopped him and said, "No, Dan.  Stop.  Mommy–I want ABCD."  Poor guy found out what it’s like to have a child stomp on the ego. -Jenn – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Well, it’s not a really a quip, but I thought it was funny when I heard my > daughter singing the song "They Call Me Sir Robin the Brave" from "The Frog > Prince" (with the Muppets), only she didn’t *quite* have the words right. > Lili was singing "I’m Christopher Robin the Brave!" > Can you tell that she loves Winnie-the-Pooh! > Of course the funniest thing I ever remember Lili saying was when my father > in law had to go to the hospital to have back surgery.  I had just had my > baby a month before we told her that Grandpa had to go to the hospital.  In > reply, she solemnly asked, "Will he have a baby when comes home, too?" > They say the funniest things, don’t they? > Mary > mother to Lili (5-3-95), Jenny (9-21-97), and ???, (2/13/99) > Kids are always saying silly things.

My 5 year old was checked out today for a pulled stomach muscle (long story). She was told to rest it for 72 hrs. I caught her tiptoing through the living room. I asked what she was doing. She replied, "Shhhhhh, my muscles are supposed to be resting."

> Kids are always saying silly things. What are a few of your kids quips?

My 10-month-old can’t talk yet, of course, but she does some awful funny things sometimes.  Probably the very funniest was: We were at the mall, just her and I, she in her stroller facing forward (she LOVES to people watch, and smiles/babbles at everyone.  People melt….)  We were walking past a Victoria’s Secret store, and outside the store was one of those perfume snipers.  You know, the ladies holding a bottle of perfume and basically harassing walkers-by with "samples", trying to spray them.  (Yes, some of them are more polite, but some are very aggresive, hence "perfume sniper".  This one was pretty agressive; as I approached her I saw her spray a lady who got mad at her for doing it!) As we got ever closer, the sniper moved in on a lady that was just behind and to the right of me.  As she swooped in for the kill, she glanced at Mia and I, and started to coo (while still moving in), "oh, what a cute…."  At that point, Mia sharply blurted, "AHHHHHHHH!" with a huge grin – that’s her "happy greeting", and it’s very loud and sudden.  It even makes me jump sometimes, and this one was a veritable scream.  The sniper startled, jumped – and *dropped* the large, full bottle of perfume, which smashed and broke into a million pieces on the floor!  All of the people walking by started laughing, and I just walked away fast, holding my snickers in.  Mia was cackling the whole time – oh, what an evil child!  ;) It’s a little mean-spirited, perhaps, but anyone whos been accosted by a perfume sniper can probably appreciate the situation a little more.

My 2 yr old daughter recieved a toy kitchen and set of cookware & dishes from both grandmas for Christmas. My mom and I set about teaching her to "cook" meals for her dolls and feed them dinner. (The idea was to keep her out from under foot while I was cooking in the "real" kitchen. Well, summer rolled around and I kept finding her toy stew pot in my fridge. After putting it back in her kitchen 4 or 5 times and finding it back in my fridge, I finially asked her, "Honey, what’s in this pot that needs to be in the fridge?" She smiled at me and said sweetly, "Leftovers Mommy." Well, curiosity got the best of me and I just had to look. What did I find? A pair of her dirty socks!! Guess she told me what she thinks of my cooking!

My father in law is a contractor and due to knee surgery, is no longer doing roofing.  So the other day while visiting, he asked us if we knew anybody that did roofing.  My 3 1/2 year old son piped up and said "Roxy does".  Roxy is the dog! Bob  - daddy to Riley 4/23/98 and Tyler 11/4/94

Response:

I went to a garage sale yesterday and my daughter was looking in a box of little creatures which I guess are from fast food restarants…we never ate in one, so I am assuming that’s what they are. My daughter picked up a creature and said, "look Mom, the lunchbox of Notre Don".  Five women sitting there burst out laughing and she was clueless.  Email me if you don’t get it )) Debra

Response:

I suppose every toddler does this one:    My son is less than 21 months, and is cuter in actions than in words, at this point, for the most part.    Just today he tok his teddy bear (which he very seldom plays with), and went through the whole bedtime ritual we do with him, most nights. He laid the teddy bear on the bed, and then began tiptoeing around with his finger on his lips, saying "shhhh." (This is what my wife does when I am asleep.)    I missed the whole thing, being out at the time. That’s the usual story, of course. My wife does the hard part, and stays with the child all day. Consequently, she gets the greater and first chance at the joys.     Mordechai

Response:

My mother used to tell us stories about one of her friends.  As a child, she heard the words "Hallowed be thy name" (from church) as Harold be thy name (her father’s name) and thought it was about her dad.  The other thing was that she thought Forsythia bushes were all for her because they were called "For Cynthia’s" (her name). – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->My daughter had a tape of bible songs.  She insisted one song was "The >Battle of Cherry Coke"  (the battle of jericho!)

Response:

My daughter came home from preschool when she was 3 and she kept singing this song "Jesus loves beggars".  I couldn’t imagine what she was singing or where she had heard it.  Later that day I was on the phone with a friend who’d daughter is in the same class.  She mentioned that her daughter had heard ZZ Top singing Viva Las Vegas on the radio that morning and had been singing it all day. It clicked right then that my daughter was trying to say Viva Las Vegas and she just didn’t know the words!!! — Dawn (Taylor & Mackenzie’s mom) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Well, it’s not a really a quip, but I thought it was funny when I heard my >daughter singing the song "They Call Me Sir Robin the Brave" from "The Frog >Prince" (with the Muppets), only she didn’t *quite* have the words right. >Lili was singing "I’m Christopher Robin the Brave!" >Can you tell that she loves Winnie-the-Pooh! >Of course the funniest thing I ever remember Lili saying was when my father >in law had to go to the hospital to have back surgery.  I had just had my >baby a month before we told her that Grandpa had to go to the hospital.  In >reply, she solemnly asked, "Will he have a baby when comes home, too?" >They say the funniest things, don’t they? >Mary >mother to Lili (5-3-95), Jenny (9-21-97), and ???, (2/13/99) >Kids are always saying silly things.

Kids are always saying silly things. What are a few of your kids quips? Here are some of mine: My 4 year old loves the Back Street Boys so one day while getting into the car she says," Mommy, does this mean I’m a Back Seat Girl?"  I hope not! At the race track after watching them sing the national anthem and wave flags everywhere a car crashed and she asked me," if he dies do they sing a song and wave a flag?" The driver was fine!

Response:

Well, it’s not a really a quip, but I thought it was funny when I heard my daughter singing the song "They Call Me Sir Robin the Brave" from "The Frog Prince" (with the Muppets), only she didn’t *quite* have the words right. Lili was singing "I’m Christopher Robin the Brave!" Can you tell that she loves Winnie-the-Pooh! Of course the funniest thing I ever remember Lili saying was when my father in law had to go to the hospital to have back surgery.  I had just had my baby a month before we told her that Grandpa had to go to the hospital.  In reply, she solemnly asked, "Will he have a baby when comes home, too?" They say the funniest things, don’t they? Mary mother to Lili (5-3-95), Jenny (9-21-97), and ???, (2/13/99)

My 3 yr old daughter is a big Beauty and the Beast fan. She likes to pretend she is Belle and will even "correct" people when they call her by her real name. "No, my name is Belle." My husband started giving her horse back rides, and she now calls him Phillipe. What’s really a riot is that she now introduces her daddy to others as her horse instead of her daddy!!

My daughter is 2.4 months.  Week before last we went to visit her grandparents in Ft. Worth, TX.  It was SOOOO hot there, but she kept wanting to go outside to play.  My FIL told her it was too hot to go outside for which she promptly responded, "It’s not hot.  It’s warm".  Needless to say, FIL thought that was just too cute, so she got to go outside.  :-)
