MEGO: My Eyes Glaze Over

Kids Say the Funniest Things #3

Mar 1, 2009 A Good Laugh, Family and Friends

Once again I have tried to collect the silly things my 3.5 yr old says…I hope they make you laugh and smile as they did for us!

Feel free to check out the previous Kids Say the Funniest Things – #1, #2 as well!

Carrots on the Brain

The night before Santa was set to arrive we put out cookies and milk for Santa Claus. I suggested to Bear that we also leave some Carrots for the Reindeer. He agreed whole heartedly. I asked if he thought they might like some dip as well, and Bear said, ” No mom, dip is not what they need.”

Two days later he seemed to be still thinking about carrots as we were driving in the car and he says, “I smell carrots! Are the reindeer here?”

The Little Boss Man

My son has become a bit of a boss man, when his buddies do something wrong “No, you can’t play with that, it is not a toy.” he waggles his finger, and squints his eyes in his most serious look. When he is scolded for something sometimes he likes to turn it around on you – arms crossed, again eyes squinted, big pout – “You sit on the time out stair, mommy!” (when a time-out is required we use the bottom step, away from the main room – Bear hates being alone). He also often offers his best advice in the role of little boss man – one day when I was angry at him for not listening (again!) he says “I want you to smile and be happy, mommy.” How is that for melting your heart? How could I possibly be mad at him for anything?  Bear is often a great back-seat drive. “Stop sign mommy!”, “Catch up! Catch up! You are almost there, go, go go!” “Mom, your a slow driver” ” Be a race car mom, vvvvvrooom”.

He also has great ideas on solving problems. We were visiting on his grandparents out east and is Papa G went out to shovel the snow. Owen desperately wanted to help. He said he would get his shovel and help. I reminded him that his shovel (a gift from Santa) was at home. “That’s ok you can go and get it for me.” I told him that we were a long way from home, and he solves that problem: “That’s ok mom, we can fly home and get it.”

A Few Other Goodies…

Upside down grocery cart at the store: “Look it’s Wall-e”

Playing a game: “You count to ‘S’ and then come look for me”

My Blackberry vibrates on the counter: “What is your Smart Phone doing mom?” (Seriously, who told this kid it was a Smart Phone?)

Walking by display of magazines: “Mom, it’s that guy!” Points at Barack Obama. As you may recall my three year old knows who Obama is…visit Kids Say the Funniest Things #2 to find out more.

Papa G helps him into his car seat and has some trouble with the straps: ” Do you need a three-year old to help you?”

Snow melts outside, ” Christmas is over mom, is it Halloween now?”

And, of course they also make their little brothers laugh sometimes!
