oh I have a kicker for u ... when my son was small (like 2) he called black ppl "blue" I dunno why just one day he told me to look at that "blue" man .. then I asked what color his daddy was and he would always say "blue" ... one day me and him were at the house being silly and waiting on his daddy to come home from work .. I told him to do me a favor and go look in the mirror .. when he did I said "what color r u?" ..his eyes got big as silver dollars and he said (all excited) "I BWUE,MOMMA I BWUE!!" ... I laughed so hard and called my mom and told her that he had finally realized he was blue ..lmao!!..

My oldest daughter went to school one day and told her teacher that her daddy is black, then came home and told me about it. I said Hannah why do you think that he is black, and she said cause he is. Well Chuck came home and i asked her to look at her daddy and tell me what color he is. She said black, i said Hannah you would have some color too if he was black and she said oh, but his skin is dark, and i said he works outside all the time. It was real funny. Oh and when she was younger she wanted to work a Mcdonalds...lmao

This taught me real quick how much kids are absorbing even if you don't think they are paying any attention at all. When my daughter was 3 (26 now). Early one morning The Chippendales were on the talk show Donahu.They were performing, I was watching. She was over in the far corner of the room playing with her toys back to the TV or I thought. About 3 weeks later with a house full of people she is in the middle of the floor and all of a sudden she begins twisting her little bottom and throwing her hands out. Ask her what she was doing and her reply was "Me take my clothes off like them guys do". OOPS quick lesson learned!

One time my son was wanting some chips out of one those wonderful machines that they place where kids walk by!! So i got him a bag out and when i handed it to him he held his lil hands up in the air and hollered woo hallelujah Thank ya Jesus. haha i never even realized that i said it till i heard him repeat it....

same son (he's my clown)... we were coming home from j'boro the other day .. I may have told this on another thread ..anyways .. he was making big plans ... since he can't be the first black president he is gonna be the "owner" of the world and live on the moon .. my nephew asked "how will u keep an eye on the ppl if u live on the moon?" .. he says "oh, they'll know ..just like we can't see God and we know, ppl will know I'm watching too .." I asked him how he plans on becoming the owner of the world .. " I am going to work at McDonalds til I own a McDonalds .. after I own McDonalds, I will own the world .." wth?.. how does he come up with this stuff .. I wish I had such a vivid imagination ...

When i asked him where he got that hair on his arms he said from his daddy, i said well looky here and i showed him hair on my arms -- his eyes got real big and he said Mommy!!

My little girl is 14 months old. She has absolutely no fear of anything, I turned around the other day and she used her rocking chair to climb up on her dresser-she's going to give me a heart attack lol! She is the most beautiful and precious little girl; I call her my comedic daredevil.

I was at a friends house years back. She had a 6 year old girl. They were sitting in the middle of the bed watching Tom Selleck on TV when Cassie, the 6 year old, said "Ooooh, I want to sleep with him!!" My friend said "Cassie, what did you say?" Cassie repeated her comment and my friend asked her if she knew what that meant. Cassie replied with, "yeah, a sleepover". Out of the mouths of babes.

These are great stories. Keep them up...I have smiled and laughed at each one.

A friend of mines little girl (8yrs old) spent the weekend with me awhile back. We were in the kitchen cooking supper and was cooking potatoes to mash them. She was watching every move I was making. I got my mixer out and started to whip the potatoes. She asked what I was making. When I said mashed potatoes she said I've never seen that kind, mama gets our out of a box. Mentioning the mixer reminded me when my daughter was a teen ager, all of her life the only mixer I had was one that was on a stand. It tore up so I just got a hand mixer. She went to make a cake one day. When she got the mixer out of the cabinet she hollered at me. When I walked into the kitchen she was looking at it very strange and she says "How in the world do you use this thing"?.
She was so serious.

my son has an aversion to pink (i think this came from his dad) anyway, he wont eat candy that is in a pink wrapper, or color with a pink crayon -- if its pink forget it!! He wont touch it!! I think that is kinda funny....

The number one thing I love about kids is how open they are. I took my 11 year old boy and 6 year old girl to a yard sale this morning, the people having it had two little girls her age. Now, these kids had never met each other. By the time we left the other 2 little girls had loaded my kid up with toys(that she didn't need) and they were all telling each other bye like they were long lost best friends....you can learn so much from little ones...we should all be as friendly and open to people as they are!

I will get in my car and play a CD well sometimes that CD will skip and i will take it out and lick it then put it back in there. One day i did that and put the CD in there and it just kept skippin and kept skippin, and my youngest daughter said--Mom i think that CD needs another lick--.. I laughed sooo hard i had to pull over. It was funny!!

I was sitting in church one day and in the pew in front of me, there was a little boy, maybe 5, that was wiggling around alot. His mother was trying to get him to stay still, whispering to him and holding him. Finally, the little boy got up on his knees, faced his mother, and yelled out loud for all to hear "Mamma, I have to go sh@t NOW!" Everybody around started giggling.

[ITS ME]

Thanks alot claudia!! I was taking a drink of soda when i read that and i now have spit soda all over my computer!! hahaha!!

[Have a Heart]

Lol Claudia! Ohhh bet mama was so embarrassed. Kids have a way of doing that too you. I don't think they get any better as they get older. It"s just easier to embarrass them back. Lol
