Stuff My Kids Say

This tab is dedicated to the general cute-ness of our children. Kids say things seemingly out of thin air that are baffling and hilarious. Every time one of my kids says something that cracks me up I think "I should really write that down".. Well now there is a place for us to do that in a somewhat organized manner :)

By "somewhat organized" I, of course, mean -- whenever I happen to remember something funny that was said. I'll include the age of my child at the time of funny comment.

Kacie is my almost 13 year old. She doesn't generally say or do anything particularly funny anymore -- not that she isn't a funny kid, she is. I mean in that innocent, off the cuff, catch you off guard kind of way. However, when she was small-ish, she said blush-producing, hide-my-face-in-embarrassment, hilarious things ALL THE TIME. It was pretty much all between the ages of 2 and 4 so we'll just assume all Kacie gems were during that time period (2001-2003) unless otherwise noted.

Kacie: (to random young male employee at the store) Hi. (him: Hi There.) When are you going to come over to our house for dinner? You can sleep in my mom's bed, she doesn't care. (Me: Yes I do! ::running away::).
      *I feel the need to explain this (lol). When Kacie was younger, I was a single mom and worked the night shift in the Emergency Department. Therefore, her babysitter would sometimes watch her at my house, and was allowed to sleep in my bed. Because I wasn't going to be in it.

Kacie: (at a BBQ at Corlet's house -- she waltzes straight into the back yard and says to a group of guys) So -- Which one of you is going to be my mom's new boyfriend?!
       *I wish I had an explanation for this one.. I don't. I will say that I hadn't been doing anything to make her think to say this!

Kacie: (sitting in shopping cart in busy check-out line) MOM! (pointing to elderly woman directly behind us) LOOK at her FACE! WOW. Look at all those WRINKLES! (I'm obviously trying to shush her throughout this interaction) Look at her Mom. Look. LOOK! (Grabbing the sides of my face and trying to force my head in that direction) No, BEHIND you. Look. Where do you think she got all of those wrinkles?
Elderly lady: (laughing hysterically) I wish I knew!
Me: (horrified) I am so sorry.
