What is the silliest thing your kid has suggested?

I can only imagine what is running through his head. I can just see him shaking his head thinking, "Boy, sissy is in big trouble for climbing in there!!"

Both of my sons were c-section, they think the belly button opens and spits the baby out, good enough for a few more years (they know thier belly button is how they got food when in mommy's tummy).

I'm right there with you!
I just use avoidance a lot of the time. He also recently asked, "How do you tell the boy cows from the girl cows?" I told him that the girl cows are the ones with the babies beside them. Not good enuf for my husband. DH tells him the anatomical difference between boy & girl cows. Made me look a little stupid!

Consequently, my 7yo son doesn't think I know anything about boys, girls, & babies. I am a Registered Nurse, I work for the state right now, but I used to work Labor & Delivery at our local hospital!
It's just different when it's your own kid... and he's 7.

Okay a serious question...kinda. At what age do kids start to grasp sarcasim (sp?) My son will be getting a bit loud and I say something like, "Do you think you could get a little louder?" and he will say, "Sure mom!"

Oh that is a difficult one.
My son takes EVERYTHING literally - ALL the time.
My 4yo daughter understands sarcasm well and will even use it herself, unprompted.

Your son's still in the literal stage of devolopment, somewhere about 11-13 he'll get the subtext of what you mean not what words you use, (this is on average, kids vary) but by then he'll be old enough to ACT like he doesn't get what you mean and still shout louder.

And it's animals have families different from people families.

My kids will be sitting at the table. I'll bring out the meal. There are lima beans.
Son will say, "Ooohhhh, but muuum, I don't like lima beans."
Daughter will say, "Oh look, lima beans, my favorite - I luv 'em!" with a grimace and a snarl.
A 4 year old with a perfect grasp of sarcasm.
(she takes after her mum!)

On that note... goodnite. It's 3am here & I'm sleepy. DH is working a double shift & I won't see him 'til morning. Gonna get some sleep.

Too funny

Today when I was outside feeding and watering the chickens, my neighbors 4 year old wandered over and i gave her two brown eggs that were in the nest box. She then asked me " When will the rooster bring the white eggs? "

I think it's from some Easter picture she saw or something.

Funny too because she knows I only have hens LOL

Watching nature always offers wonderful opprotunities to discuss the facts of life. My son is fascinated by the mating rituals of our chickens. (ecspecially how fast it happens) Lately there haven't been too many questions so I assumed he understood what was going on. Anyway last week we went for a walk by a horse pasture.......... oh my. He was very quiet while watching the stallion mount the mare. I waited for the questions but all he said was "when I grow up I am going to be a horse not a rooster".
