These stories are so cute. Here's mine.
My son, 3yo was giving me a fit with the potty training. Well one day he had an accident and I asked him why he peed in his pants and he's a big boy now and he shouldn't be doing that.
He looked up at me so serious and said "but mommy, I didn't do it, my tinkler did."
My 5-yr-old is full of stories. Her teacher stopped me one day to tell me a story about her. It seems that the day before, Tabitha had asked her teacher if she had ever heard of her other mother, her first mom. Her teacher knows that I'm her one and only mom, so she told Tabitha, "No, I hadn't heard." Tabitha replied, "Yeah, my dad killed her so we could get this new mom we have now." Good thing the teacher knew me when I was pregnant with Tabitha!!
This is the same child who told me she used to have red eyes. I told her that her eyes had always been blue when she responded, "No, I saw a picture and I had red eyes!"
My daughter's first grade teacher told me this one: Her son told her he had read a book about Bigfoot. "But Mom," he said, "his real name is SASCROTCH!"
A few years ago we went out to NY to visit my family. We decided to take our 5 boys to the Catskill Game Farm. It's a great place. they have all kinds of animals & even a petting zoo. Well, my then 5 yr. old got soooo excited when we went to the bird sanctuary. He started yelling, "chickens....They have chickens." CHICKENS!!! Once the surprise wore off, we all started laughing. We still do. As Jeff Foxworthy might say, "you might be a redneck if you get excited about chickens in the zoo."
PTOPresCherry - that's cute. We had something similar happen in my family - but at a little older age.
When my brother - years ago - was graduating from high school, my parents hosted a party for him. My mom was handling all the food and kept asking him if there was anything special he wanted. He didn't care except he really wanted a large cake - if that was okay. My mom agreed and they subsequently had a few brief conversations about it.
How big? Large.
Any special kind? He'd order it himself.
Did he know where to get one? Yes
Would it be big enough to serve X people? Yes.
Had he taken care of ordering it? All Done.
It wasn't until the day of the party and he was leaving to pick it up that the miscommunication was discovered. She wanted him to use her car; he said it wasn't necessary, he'd just throw it in the back of his truck. She was appalled he'd ruin it. He was surprised she'd want it in her car.
For weeks - she had been saying/hearing cake.
He had been saying/hearing keg.
These are great!!! Reminds me of something that happened with my younger son. We had just come back from the food store and he was helping unload bags. He was about 4 and his pronunciation wasnt the clearest. I was carrying laundry detergent down to the washer and he was yelling to me Mommy where are my "Hulk Hands?" (Ya know they are large green hulk hands that make noise when you punch them) And I a reply "whole cans of what"? Remember we are unloading groceries. He goes the green HuLK hands, you know...and Im yelling back to him, green whole cans of what -- green beans? He is getting mad Im getting frustrated..finally hes like THESE and he walks down with the HULK hands on..I go ohhh your HULK HANDS, he goes thats what Ive been saying for like 10 minutes Mommy! It was funny!
