   I just thought I'd bump this once...going, going...
   
   One that was memorable for me is when my wife was pregnant with our daughter. Early on, we asked our 4-year old son, Michael which he wanted, a little brother or a little sister. He said, "I wanna Mickey Mouse!"

   When my son was 2, there was a local restaurant we frequented on Friday nights for the fish fry. Of course, the fish came with all the trimmings: pickled okra, cole slaw, french fries and hush puppies. At that time in his little life, we were encouraging him to talk more and not rely on his sister to do the talking for him. Anyway, my son kept pointing to the hush puppies. "Ok, son, tell me what is is you want and I'll get it for you." He finally responded by saying, "Shut up dogs!". Precious times - precious memories.

   We were all set to go to the park one day but my 3 yr old daughter wasn't behaving very well, so I told her
   "Fine, we simply won't go."
   she stomped over to the couch, plopped herself down, crossed her arms and said...
   "Well doesn't that just screw up the entire day, now I have to see if there is anyone to have a play date with."
   
   You can use this if you wish

   My youngest son, when he was about 5, asked me if there were no cars when I was a little girl and that is why I knew how to ride horses.

   My 3 year old saw Look Who's Talking last night and when the doctor clamped the cord, he said "Oh no mommy, moooommmmmmy" and I said what sugar and he said " that big fat meanie guy cut off that baby's peepee." Err.... awkward.... I had to explain about the magic cord that fed him while he was in mommy's belly which almost led to a pretty uncomfortable conversation when he asked how he got there... but thankfully the b aby in the movie started talking and his attention was diverted

      Agh! Awkward moment, all right.
      
      What I used to do when my kids came up with those questions is first ask them "Well, how do YOU think..." That way I knew what their level of interest and knowledge/misinformation was. From there I could determine how much to tell them...or if I should just agree with them!

      that's good advice. I'll probably be using it a lot sooner than I had initially hoped

   oh and another one, I bought Kota the Triceratops www.toystoreinc.com/servlet/the-5132/Playskool-Kota-My-Triceratops/Detail for them for Christmas, and I noticed my 3 year old stuffing pizza in Kota's mouth. I said, "sugar what on earth are you doing" and he said "I have a feed him so he not go astinct (extinct)".... okay good to see that Prehistoric Planet series on Discovery Kids is paying off

      So, you think the dinosaurs didn't make it because Dominos didn't deliver in 30 minutes or less? I think scientists need to look into this theory.

   Hi Jim,
   
   Once, when I had a bad case of cystic acne, my three year old called my pimple a "bimple," which somehow made something very ugly into something very cute. I'll probably be writing about this on my blog eventually, but you are welcome to use it on your blog too.
   
   Warmly, Lynn

   It's not my kid cause I don't have any so I will use my Godson. He's four. His mom has made it a point to teach him all the proper terms for the his man parts. Anyway he was having a rousing conversation with my 19yr old sister and all of a sudden I hear him say, "Do you know I have a penis??
   
   It made me laugh.

    My five year old daughter was a bit jealous of her little sister who got a soft-drink. After telling how thirsty she was about three times, she exclaims:
    
    "Do you want your girl to die from thirst, or what ??!!??"

    I don't have kids but I was visiting family a couple weeks ago. My 5 year old nephew started acting up so I carried him up to his room and sat him on his bed and told him to stay there for awhile. As I was walking out of his room he says "You'll be hearing my my lawyer."

    My baby is just 14 months old, so she can't say much.
    She says maybe 30 words total. She did say her first sentence however and it was awesome.
    " momma says no "

    My 5 year old calls a lift a cliff, and an escalator an alligator, but he also speaks three languages so I forgive him for the mix up.
