Thread: remembering things your hs senior said as child that were the darndest
things
Started 1 month, 4 weeks ago by parent56
as son gets ready for college, memories of his childhood keep flooding in.
What were some of the funny things or as Art Linkletter used to say "the darndest" your kids said
some of the funnier things he said as a toddler:
son knew i loved jazz music (age 3-4) he said "ah mommy i heard Elephant Gerald died to day..(Ella Fitzgerald)
we adopted a bi-racial child and friends would ...
D1 (now a college graduate) apparently mastered sarcasm at an early age. For a while there when I would tell her (at age 3) to do something she would answer "Yes, your majesty."
S, now a college graduate, was a serious devotee of both Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters, and had a large collection of the various "vehicles" related to both. He pronounced the word as "veagle" though. We still say "veagle" in our family to this day.
Love this thread - !
When DS was little we lived in S. Florida and DH worked in Miami. DS always wanted to go down and see Daddy at work in "Mommy's Ami" - as in My-Ami, Your-Ami, Mommy's-Ami!
Love it too!
Son at 2: (pointing at lower jaw) "this part goes up and down," (pointing to upper jaw) "and this part doesn't."
Daughter at 2: "Cuggle on Chouch?" At 3 she was asked her full name and responded with first, middle, last name and "come here".
Ooooh, those are so cute!!! <3
Waah, I miss my little squirts. D and I were in Borders yesterday and we wandered into the kids' section, and I remembered:
My D's favorite book was "The Very Hungry Carrot-Pillow".
schmoo you just reminded me of one for the youngest... in kindergarten he just had to put his first name on papers, grade 1 required 1st and last. all his papers came home with Ander as his last name...... he is always called alex unless trouble is brewing in which case it is alexANDER!
eggson at age 3, all ready for bed -- brushed teeth, in jammies, etc:
wily son: "mom, can I brush my teeth twice tonight?'
gullible mom: "uh, sure if you want to."
wily son: "then i guess I'll have another one of those brownies now."
got me.
D was a big fan of Disney princess movies and apparently the whole wicked step mother thing made an impact on her. We were looking at old pictures of my h's mom, who passed away before we met. D then said, "If that's daddy's mom, who is Nana?" We explained that Nana was daddy's stepmom. She thought for a few moments and then said, "Gee, that's funny. She doesn't seem very evil."
Quote: Thus, his pictoral version (at age 4) of the birth in Bethlehem--everyone, I mean everyone, has fangs...even itty bitty Jesus in the manger and angel Gabriel hovering above like some demented bat. Joseph even has some dripping blood on his incisors and the adoring shepherds look like they had raw mutton for dinner. Guess you didn't want to copy that for you family Christmas card, huh? When Son was about that age, after Christmas...
... yesterday the Garth Brooks song "Shameless" came on the radio, and as usual I sang (shouted) along with the "I'm SHAMUS!" part, as my son did when it was popular.
This is my third contribution, but all of these posts just bring back a lot of memories... My husband started to cook after D1 was born, so I would have more time to spend with her. He actually became quite good at it, and I was just never that good. At that time we were living in NYC. When D1 was around 2, H had to go on a business trip. As soon as I came home from work, I ran into the kitchen to try to start dinner. D1 came running into the...
Funny stories! "wash up as they pleased"--read that one out loud to my DH! parent56--my little nephew loved to walk around clutching his mom's satin 1/2 slip. He's 19 now and has completely outgrown that compulsion, thank goodness.
Quote: That's one thing I can do to this day if I want to make my own mother feel guilty - point to my almost entirely empty baby book (and contrast it with my older sister's completed baby book). Lol, my parents didn't even have a baby book for me. My dad made one for my older sister though (same dad, different moms) .
I love this thread . This is a sad commentary on how infrequently I get dressed up to go out, but when S2 was about 3, I got all dressed up to go to some fancy occasion -- makeup, jewelry, curled hair, etc. -- and when my son saw me, he said "Mommy got a costume!"
