On Christmas day this year during dinner at my grandpas house we had some deviled eggs. Well they are my sons favorite and he didnt get any on his plate the first time through because he didnt see them. Well there were 3 left on the plate after everyone was done so I hollered for him and he came in picked one up then the other and asked if he could have the third. My mom told him yes, so he plopped one in his mouth and had one in each hand. He was walking by my uncle Steve who said
hey, I wanted one of them. DS just looked at him and licked each one in his hand and walked on. Everyone busted out laughing. It was just hilarious seeing DS do that without even a smile on his face. Now he has never done anything like that before and I was horribly embarrassed at his manners but couldnt stop laughing either. Oh yeah, my DS is 12.
When You Don't Know Whether To Laugh At Or Shake Your Children

I don't have kids yet, but we've been watching home movies since Christmas. Last night we put one on where we went apple picking. I was about 5 and my brother was 3. He was picking apples and he kept licking them and then putting them in the bag. (This is a little off the track but funny) When my dad went to eat one of the apples, he wiped it off and told my brother and I that he had to take all the pesticide off otherwise he would turn into an insect
Little kids believe the strangest things.
Anyways, after my brother was done picking apples my mom wanted to check his bag to make sure none of them had brown spots. She went over to try and take the bag from him, and he yelled "NO!" and tried to run away. He had so many apples in his bag that he could hardly carry them as he tried to run away. He was obviously being a bratty little kid but she kept asking him for his bag and every time he would say no and run away you could hear both of my parents trying not to laugh. It was so hilarious to see how protective he was of his heavy apples!

mom'sfolly :
How many time have you had to say things that never occurred to you that you would have to say?
I started keeping a list of wierd things I found myself saying to my 2nd son. Like, "Ethan, put you underwear on INSIDE your pants so we can go to church!" And, "Stop beating that banana! It never did anything to you."

LOL!
My parents sent my brother and I to a christian preschool. One day my mom got a phone call from the school about my brother. Apparently one of the teachers caught my then 3 year old brother using a banana as a cowboy gun. The teacher told my mom that she was "concerned" about this behavior. Suffice to say, my parents were too busy laughing to yell at him.

ROFL, yes, the things we must say when we're parents! I catch myself saying something and then thinking...my Lord, DID I JUST SAY THAT?
I know this is a family friendly forum....but...one day my daughter (when she was about 3) got an ugly, weird stuffed monkey looking toy from a Happy Meal, and she was walking through her room, stopped and looked at me and said, "What in the H$LL is THIS?" (I was, incidentally, thinking the same thing) I don't curse around my kiddos, either, but apparently...well, you know how little pitchers have big ears and all! It was hard for me not to snicker while explaining to her that that was a bad word.
Then, of course, I swear kids can pick out all of the "inappropriate" words in TV shows. We were watching Seinfeld the other day w/ my 3 yr. old and of course they just HAD to go and say 'virgin', and I swear, I didn't even make a face, and of COURSE, she had to go and say, "MOMMY, he said VIIIIIIRRRRRGIN!".
Sigh.

Oh my. My younger self would not have survived school without major therapy today. I remember sitting beside a boy named Freddy. Both Freddy and I loved Japanese Godzilla black and white movies. We would draw cities with a giant Godzilla attacking everyone. There were military vehicles shooting and people running around on fire. We even had little bubbles saying , "AHHHHHH...." above the on fire stick figures.
The teacher just made us wash our desk everyday. No one thought that we were violent or going to attack anyone.

After DD's first day of kindergarten, we asked her what she learned that day. She said, "I learned what it looked like to stand in the hall and how to get to the principal's office." She then told us that she didn't have to disclose any more information. I called the teacher the next day and asked her what happened because I knew that DD was extremely intelligent and likely on her way to world domination. The teacher said, "The issue was resolved. I have agreed with her to not divulge any details." I guess what happens in kindergarten stays in kindergarten. To this day, I don't know what she did.
We adopted our grandson, and he is very aware of the why he came to live with us, and has a wonderful relationship with his mom and dad. . .one day we were in the car and we were talking about his big sister, and why she wanted to be with her dad so much. I said that she was "his baby" and she was old enough to remember the good times before the bad times came to pass. He sat there for a few seconds, and then looked at me with these great big ole' brown eyes and said, "OMG, are you telling me that Dee was in our dad's BELLY??" I laughed so hard I almost had to pull over, because I am one that just absolutely splits my sides when something hits me funny. I said, "NO, NO! Nothing like that, I just meant . . . ." and he laughed and said, "Oh, I KNOW what you meant, you just meant that she was "His little baby" and he made cradling motions with his arms. That was 2 years ago, and I still almost get in the floor over it. It has become a family laugh-a-moment now.
When one of our DD's was about 10, someone had put a sign out that was tall and slim, so they had to split the word in half. DD was reading it as we went by, and said, "Free Pup Pies". The owner had written PUP on one line and PIES below it, so she thought he was giving away puppy pies. We laughed for months over that one, someone just mentioned it to her not long ago at a get together.
Our youngest daughter was looking out at the sky when we were coming home late one night, when she was about 4 and saw an airplane flashing overhead. She wanted to know what it was and I told it was an airplane. She mulled it over for a few seconds and said, "huh, wonder why they want to take our picture!?" I laughed for weeks, and still to this day. She just turned 30, I still think that was the funniest thing.

I don't even remeber the what she was doing, but my three year old friend was being naughty and laughing hysterically about it. I said "That's not funny" and she replied without missing a beat "Maybe not to you..."
My son's 5th grade teacher told this story at his funeral -
"The lesson of the day was the importance of doing homework. Richard (my son) was on leave from the Marines and came to visit in full uniform. I was telling my 5th graders how important is was to do their homework every day and turned to Richard and said, 'Isn't that right, Richard?' This 6 foot 4 inch, very impressive looking Marine looked at me and said, 'I don't know, Ms. Myers, I never did mine and I turned out just fine!'"
She says she spent the rest of the year doing damage control!
