I had lunch with my 7 year old grandaughter yesterday. I just sat and watched them eat (school cafeteria...yuck). One litle boy asked why I wasn't eating and before I coud tell him Kelsey spoke up and with a lot of authority and pride said "Oh, she doesn't eat meat. She's a Vegeterrior!" Woof...woof...lol |

My Charlotte calls me "Muffler" and calls our dog Jasper "Jappers" and when the dog gets excited he licks her face - it's most disconcerting when I hear "Muffler, Jappers is flacking me!!"

While grocery shopping recently, Wifey was handing the nice lady the debit card. She asked her if she wanted any cash back, and she said, "No." Julia Rose piped up and said, "Mommy, you should have said yes, since daddy doesn't have a job."!!!!!
We fell out laughing right there in the store! And I had to explain to Oobu that it wasn't free money she was offering! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Those are too cute you guys. At Christmas our 4 year old grandbaby came out of church and was telling us the story of Baby Jesus and the Three White Men. At least now that I know I am a 'Vegeterrier" it explains why I often have the urge to pee on fire plugs and chase police cars! |

When Megan was just learning to talk she had a lot of trouble with the word TRUCK. Christmas before last, when she was just 2, I had her in the post office with me. The lines were nearly out the door, and she was being so good and quiet, just standing there holding my hand like such a good little girl. Suddenly, I heard sirens...and I knew what was coming. I looked down just as her little face lit up and she hollered at the top of her lungs "Do woo hear dat Gamma? It's a fire f**k!" I almost passed out.....and the whole place broke up in laughter! |

LOL...Olen. The best thing I ever did was to start keeping a daily journal when my kids were little. The journals were only about the kids. I have so much fun going back and re-reading them now. They are priceless to me. |

Olen, same here! One of the kids called ice cream 'hum-eye"...I have no idea...lol...don't ask. But we all still say. "Does anybody want hum-eye? lol Beep...something else I used to do with the kids...that they looked forward to was, one night a week...we had our family meeting. At that meeting we aired our grievances. The rule was, if someone p*ssed you off during the week, you brought it to the table on meeting night to discuss.....but you also had to have something nice to discuss about that same person, that they had done that week. It made them look for the good,not just the negative in their brothers and sister. The kids soon got to where they were more interested in talking about the nice things and we seldom discussed anything that someone had done to p*ss someone else off. |

Once when I took Charlotte to church, I lit a candle and said a prayer. There were lots of candles that day because one of our church elders had recently died. I placed my candle among the others, and went to sit down. Charlotte was fascinated by the candles and stayed where she was. Just as the priest entered the church and silence fell, you could hear this little voice... ...Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me.... I nearly died. |

Rofl!...how cute! I always thought I prepared my children for everything. But I found out that they seem to prepare each other much better. My oldest son had gone to the funeral of an great uncle at about the age of 4. I explained things at length and it worked out well. The boys lacked one day of being a year apart in age...so the youngest went to the sitter. A year later my husband lost his mother, so I prepared the youngest one just as I had the older one. We went into the funeral home for the wake....and in the midst of all of the whispers you could hear the oldest one say to his brother "See! I told ya they would put her in a big treasure chest!" |

When Mary Ellen was 3 years old Davids girlfriends mom came to pick him to take them to the zoo. She was standing in my kitchen chatting with me for a momen and she said "I just want you to know that David is absolutley adorable" Mary Ellen tugged on her shirt and looked up at he and said, "Please don`t call my brother a door bell, that`s not nice."

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' ! I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN | |

In Ireland people cuss a lot more than people do in America. One of the years when my family spent a summer there my little brother was about 6 years old. We hung out with some of my Irish friends who are my age, (so they would have been about twelve at the time) They said "f*ck" about every other word. My brother had no idea what it meant. One day our grandmother was passing my brother some food at the dinner table. He smiled and stated politely "f*ck you Gran!" Luckily she realized he thought it was a polite thing to say, and we all had a good laugh. |

LOL! It's a good thing she was so good natured about it! That reminds me of a story about my niece, who is now grown and has a child of her own. My sister is (was) horrid about cussing...every other word was a cuss word, it seemed like. We went to Virginia one summer to visit them. Autumn was just a toddler and they were trying to get her to talk. No amount of talking to her would work, she never said a word, she just stood and looked at you. My sister had just about decided that at 2, Autumn was retarded. We all went to eat at a crab restaurant. There were the three of them and my family of 5 and we were having a great time. Autumn was sitting at the end of the table in her high chair eating crabs when she dropped her little fork and you heard this little voice, loud and clear say "Well F*CK!!" Total silence...shock....then we all broke out laughing and looked at my sis who was beet red. Since then she limits her use of cuss words....and under "first words" in Autumns baby book it says...See Mom.....lol |

When Grace was one she discovered she loved ice cream which she would yell loudly for: "Ee-peen! Ee-peen!" Yogurt at that time was "Ee-gert" and shrimp were "frimp." However now at five she still calls pancakes "pannycakes." The latest thing she did though I think Pat and I will probably always remember. We visit his family regularly in West Virginia which is fairly close but to get there we first cross the Potomac River. On a recent visit, she wanted to know if we were going to ride on "the angel." We looked at each other mystified, then it dawned on us. The point where we cross the river is so small we use an old-fashioned ferry to get across. Clearly Grace had extrapolated that since both fairies and angels have wings, the terms were interchangeable.

How cute! Very smart too to associate the two! My oldest grandson used to call Elevators 'alligators'. He is 15 now and we still tease him about it. He takes it good naturedly! |

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
|
I'm sure my children said all sorts of cute things when they were small (of course, they are MY children, after all)...but its been a few years, and it gets a bit foggy. The only thing that stands out to me at the moment, is when my husband and I were discussing Marvin Gaye being shot and killed by his Father. My son, who was 2 at the time, asked "Why did Dad kill Marvin Gaye?" It was worth a giggle. |

Just recently we were at my in-laws house. Her refrigerator doesn't have an ice maker, just the ice trays. I heard Hayden yell, "Mama!" from the kitchen. I went in to find water all over the floor. He said, "Sorry Mama. I needed some ice and I didn't realize Maw Maw Barbara's ice wasn't finished growing." |

My son, at age 2, for unknown reasons, called a B.B.Q "gup-key". To this day we all ask, anyone want to start the gup-key. My kids loved the Quaker oats instand oatmeal. the Commercial on TV was "We're gonna make a hot cereal lover out of you". My son, started calling it, "hot lover cereal", and yup..... you guessed it, We still call it that to this day. Now my grandsons are calling it 'Hot lover". Try explaining that while we're shopping and they spot HOT LOVER on the shelf. "MOM, I see the Hot Lover!!!!!!!"... lol |

Charlotte used to call my sister Meg "Ernie Mick" - her version of "Auntie Meg". :lol: Once when my brother was small, we went on a family outing to an amusement park, and Alex insisted on going on the "Sinna-right Wheel". My parents were baffled. Did he mean "Spin Around"? Nope, he was insistent that it was the Sinna-right Wheel. He's now 25 years old and we still don't know what a Sinna-right Wheel is. |
