Kids Say the Funniest Things #2
Dec 14, 2008 Family and Friends
My three-year old has a great sense of humour. Not sure where he gets it from, but he can make us laugh when he tries and even when he doesn’t. Sometimes it is his sense of humour and other times it is just his three-year old vocabulary that makes us laugh. But always, he laughs with us. If you missed the first installment visit Kids Say the Funniest Things.
So here are some stories that made us smile over the recent past.
Socks
One morning as we rush to get dressed I sent Bear into his room to get a pair of socks to wear. We have issues with socks in our house, our dryer eats them. And, for some reason my husband insists on putting the one remaining – unmatched sock in my son’s drawer – instead of in a bag or basket in the laundry room in case the other one reappears. So in my son’s drawer there are pairs, and then there are stacks of lone socks. Bear comes back with two socks. Not a pair. Just a sock with Ramone from the movie Cars and one with Tow Mater from the movie Cars. Same movie. Different socks. I tell Bear, these socks don’t match. He says, “That’s ok mommy, these socks love each other.”
Money
I took my son to visit his grandparents in Halifax. Before we left the house he “found” money in the sofa. He cleans up for my husband who falls asleep on the sofa and loses his pocket change to the cushions. On the airplane he “found” ten cents that came out of my purse stuck to my Blackberry case. He says proudly, “I find money a lot.”
Poop
On a walk with my parents and their dog Owen sees dog poop on the path at the park. “Look, Bobbe! Someone lost their poop.”
Exercise
My father exercises every morning by going on one of his many machines and then stretching and doing some other floor exercises. Bear would run upstairs to find him and do the exercises as well. I think my father enjoyed the company!
Steam
Bear gets stuck doing errands with me a lot now that I am on maternity leave. One day we had been to the grocery store, a kids clothing store, and were in a department store for one last pick-up. Bear was dragging his feet, head down. Big sigh. I turn and say, “come on, we are almost finished”. Another big sigh. “But I am running out of steam.” He said it so seriously, so much like you would hear an adult saying. A couple walking nearby – snickered and smiled at me!
Barack Obama
For a good month Barack Obama was a household name in our house, so it is no wonder my son picked up his name. I think he liked how the name sounded, one day he was screaming in a deep voice “Barack O-bama!” into his cereal. Over and over. I asked if perhaps Barack Obama was in his cereal (I wasn’t sure if he knew what a Barack Obama was!) He tells me “No! Mom he is on TV” (silly mommy voice).
To reiterate just how much he understands. He went to daycare the day after the U.S. election. One of the instructors asked another if they had watched the election and if they knew who was to be President in the U.S. Before the other could answer my smart little three-year old pipes up “Barack Obama”.
Snow
The other morning we woke up to a few centimetres of lovely snow. Owen announced ” Look mom, your car is made of snow!”
Santa
We went to see Santa yesterday, as we are pulling into the mall he says, “I don’t see the North Pole.”
One night before bed he wasn’t listening. I warned him that Santa was watching to make sure he was being a good boy. He looked around the room. “I don’t see his eyes.”
Words he stumbles over:
Timbits (for those who don’t know a Tim Bit is the “hole” of the donut sold at Tim Hortons): On Monday’s I like to get a drive-thru coffee on the way to ‘nastics with Bear – and of course Bear needs a “ticket”. Or rather a Timbit!
Hood: No matter how often we pronounce, spell and explain the word “Hood” – Bear always calls it Hook. “Wait mom! I have to put my hook on.”
Songs he likes right now:
Beyonce – I’m a Single Lady (OooOooOo he sings!)
Hands up in the Ayre Ayre (something about moving your body…and hands in the Ayre Ayre…)
He also screams “turn it up, mommy” to Katy Perry (hot and cold) and Dirty Dancing by NKOTB.

I love the funny things kids say. My fave is when he said somebody lost their poop – that’s classic!
