Hmmm. I thought I was a good cook...

I made dinner last night, and Michaela says "mmm... that smells good Mommy."
I said "thanks honey"
She said "Good job, nothing even smells burned!"

Rewriting History

Monday was President’s Day, and my daughter's Pre-K class had learned about some of our most important Presidents. 

She came home very proudly wanting to tell us what she had learned and said

“George Washington was the first president of the ‘Nited States of America, and then there was “April Ham Lincoln-ton.” 

Then we learned about Martin Luther King, but he wasn’t a president, he was THE leader”

I wanted to know how much she knew, so I encouraged her and asked “The leader of what?”

She said “A Band”

Getting [in the] Fire

I woke up late this morning, and my daughter was giving me a hard time getting her ready.  I told her to please help me out, or I was gonna be late for work & that would get me in trouble.

She said “Are they gonna put you in the fire?”

I laughed, and explained to her that “getting fired” doesn’t mean they literally put you in fire, it just means that you lose your job, and won’t make money anymore.

She replied “Oh no, then I can’t get what I want at the store anymore?”

Spanks A Lot

My daughter and her friend were in their gymnastics class waiting for their turn to tumble. They got bored, and my daughter just spanked her friend on the bottom. Well her friend spanked her right back, and they went back and forth.

Scared crack-less

Me and my daughter were playing pretend with her dolls, and as she was turned away from me, I grabbed her suddenly to tickle her, playfully.

I ended up scaring her, and she screamed "Mommy, you scared the crack out of me!"

Even Grown Adults Need Supervision

I had been in the hospital for a few days after having severe chest pains.
The doctor ordered my 34-year-old son to take me back to his house for 24 hour monitoring.
On the drive to his house, we were talking about how difficult it was for me to have to have someone drive me around and watch me all day, because I am (and always have been) very independent.
My son replied, "Oh Mom, you're still independent, you just need adult supervision"

Finding Himself

Today, I woke up to my 8 month old son happy as can be.
I could hear him laughing over the monitor.
When I walked into the room, he had somehow got his diaper off and was holding onto his new found penis.
He thought it was hysterical when it went off and shot urine everywhere.

Aging Happens

Today, my 11 year old son and I were going through some old photos.
He saw one of me when I was 22 on a beach wearing a bikini.
He said “Wow! Who's that?!"
Quite proudly I said it was me.
He looked at me and said " What happened?!"

Hand-Me-Downs

Michaela at 37 months old.

She tried on a pair of shoes that had fit her all summer, but she hadn’t worn them in a few days, she put those on this time and her foot was hanging off the back…
I told her, “Your shoes are just getting too small honey.”
She said “Yeah, maybe they are almost for my cousin, Jadin.”

Finding her Patience

We were driving down to Myrtle Beach last Saturday (3 hour ride), and Michaela was getting pretty antsy in her car seat.
She asked about every 15 minutes "Are we there yet?
We kept telling her to "find her patience"
So finally, we get there, and she asks again "Are we there yet?"
I said "Michaela, where is your patience?"
She yelled "I LOST IT!"

Kid Cramps

I took my niece, Michaela, on a field trip yesterday with mye daycare to a pool, Michaela was telling me all about how she can put her face underwater.
So once they were in the pool and playing, I remembered her talking about it, so I asked Michaela "Can you show me how you can put your face in the water?"
Michaela said "Ummmmm I have to think about it".
So I waited 30 seconds before I asked again "You can't do it. Only big girls know how!"
Michaela then said "Oh yes I can, I just have a cramp that I was waiting to go away."
I Replied "A cramp? Where at"
She then said "Its in my face!"

Dinasaur's Stink

Just wanted to share a funny The Little Gym moment...After her trip to the dinosaur museum a little girl came in for her gymnastics class was very excited to share some of the new dinosaur facts with her teacher Ms. Melissa. She said, "I'm... glad dinosaurs aren't around now." Ms. Melissa asked why and the girl's response was, "Cause the man at the museum said that dinosaurs stink!" LOL!

Wish apon a flower

We were outside on a warm spring day in North Carolina, and we have tons of dandilions in our front yard, and so those fuzzy white flowers were popping up everywhere. My mother was with my 2 1/2 year old daughter picking them up, and began to explaining that if you pick one, you have to make a wish and then blow it. If you can blow all the fuzzies off, your wish would come true.

So my mom demonstrated and said "I wish I would get a big hug and a kiss", then blew the whole thing away. So, my daughter then gave her a big hug and a kiss. My mother said "See, my wish came true"

My daughter then picks one up, gripping it tightly with both hands, closes her eyes real tight, and said "I wish I could blow this flower"

Having a Bad Day? This could cheer you up

I've started this blog to make people laugh out loud. When I need a good laugh, I think of my daughter. She is now 3 years old, and since she could start talking, the words that come out of her mouth never cease to surprise me. I wanted to start something that every parent could add their funny stories to and share with the world.

We all forget the funny things our kids do as time goes by, so I've started to document the funniest moments to look back on. I'll start....
