Funny things our kids say.

[Lentrax]

So. I was driving along with my kids yesterday. Pandora playing on the radio, when "Carry On My Wayward Son" starts playing.

My daughter immediately perks up, and excitedly calls out:

"I know this song! It's the Supernatural song!"

*facepalm*

[Kid Jake]

My four year old niece's favorite song is Dust In The Wind. There's nothing in this world more depressing than a four year old sitting by herself, staring out the window and singing about how nothing really matters in the end.

Except maybe when she sings Ride The Lightning, but that was my bad.

[Brother Oni]

My then 4-year old was telling me to be very careful with a knife as it was a shark.

A year or two later, in an effort to involve her with some of my hobbies, we tried playing the Halo:Reach co-op campaign together. She started saying "Boom! Headshot!" and giggling insanely every time she got one. I'm not allowed to play FPSs with her anymore.

My son has started playing World of Tanks and inspired by various Youtubers, he keeps up a constant stream of commentary as he plays. This is usually along the lines of "OhnoI'monfirerunawarunawayahI'mstuckontherockfire firefireohI'mdead".

[Kid Jake]

A few others:

When I asked her what says moo, she replied "Your mother."
Shocked, and unable to think of a witty retort, I was like "Pfft, YOUR mom says moo."
She just shrugged and responded "At least my mom's not dead."

Her favorite insult is Jabroni.

When asked "What does the clown say?" she growls "Get in the van!"

She believes we own guns to protect us from Bigfoot. Not sure where she got that, but I haven't corrected her.

She usually takes sole credit for making dinner because she occasionally hands me things. Sometimes she'll relent and admit that I 'helped'.

[RandomNPC]

My child mentioned there was a know-it-all at the beginning of the school year and they've caught up to what the know-it-all knows, and now the kid gets everything wrong, while the class has passed the kid by.

I started lecturing on how I was trying to teach multiplication and division but got yelled at because "We're not learning that yet!"

So my rant gets interrupted with a "Well I don't like learning things I haven't learned yet!"

[TheThan]

Ok this is good:

I'm at the FLGS (friendly local gameing store) painting miniatures and generally hanging out. Another gamer (friend of my brother actually) enters with his little, kid. Who’s a toddler, not sure on exact age. The kid’s got a batmobile toy and some other toy car and is happily enjoying playing with his toys across from me on a separate table. A bit later the kid’s grandparents enter and prepare to take him away (prearranged, spend the day with grandma and grand pa apparently). This conversation takes place when they prepare to leave

grandma: hey we’re going to go do some shopping, do you want come along with grandma and garandpa?

Toddler: NOPE! *continues playing with toys.*


I am trying not to burst into laughter this kid, being a toddler and all has no filter keeping him from not saying what he’s thinking. the kid's grandparents had no response to that either.

Last night at dinner, somebody mentioned obsidian.

My six-year-old daughter: "Isn't that the kind of cat we have?"
Me: "No, love, that's Abyssinian."

[Jaycemonde]

Any time my step-half-brother (is that right?) acts edgy and world-weary I can't help but not take him seriously, both because he's frickin seven and because I was actually exactly the same at his age and I know that he's going to get past the phase eventually, but he refuses to believe it.

[Gemhammer&Sons]

My neighbors kid tried to tell me the other day that "18 and life" by skid row is about a guy striking out on his own because your parents can't tell you what to do when your 18.

it was a sad day.

[Amaranthine]

my step-half-brother (is that right?)

I think "step" and "half" are mutually exclusive. "Step" are children whose parents' married, but don't have a bio-parent in common. "Half" are children who have one parent in common.

My neighbors kid tried to tell me the other day that "18 and life" by skid row is about a guy striking out on his own because your parents can't tell you what to do when your 18.

it was a sad day.

The bright side is that at least he knows who Skid Row is.

So. I was driving along with my kids yesterday. Pandora playing on the radio, when "Carry On My Wayward Son" starts playing.

Pandora's favorite song. Good thing too, it's one of mine.
That, Stairway, & Freebird.

If you go to 90's alternative, there's a 104% chance you'll hear Teen Spirit first.

I wish Pandora played more "off the cd" songs and not just the radio hits.

[Evandar]

Not my kid, but I was talking to an 11 year old cousin about the oldest people on the planet. I named the oldest man alive at that time. She said:

"He's not the oldest man! There are way older people alive. But they're dead."

Touché, little lady.

[Telonius]

Two recent gems. One, while putting her to bed:
Daughter: Daddy, you're a villain!
Me: When did you figure that out?
D: Because you're always doing villain things.
Me: So does that mean you're my beautiful daughter who's going to fall in love with the hero and betray me?
D: Yeah.

Another last night while playing Munchkin:
D: "Daddy, can we trade Super Munchkin cards? I'd rather have the one with the chainsaw."
Me: "That's my girl."

[goto124]

That girl has been reading TVTropes!

So my oldest daughter got in trouble the other day. When I was done punishing her, my youngest daughter (Just over three) looks up at me, and with a huge grin on her face, gives me a thumbs up and says, "Good job, Daddy!"
