Slacker Saturday

Instead of attempting to come up with something witty or funny for you today, I’m taking the slacker way out and sharing some funny things that my kids have uttered this week.

Monkey to me, while Cub was crying: “Maybe he needs some baby crack.” (note: baby crack is those gerber yogurt melt things)

I tried to look a little more put together this week and had on a green t-shirt dress. Still comfy, but a little better than jeans and a t-shirt. Monkey takes one look at me and says: “Mommy, why are you dressed like a leprechaun?”

After explaining to Bear about recycling as he was helping me carrying empty milk jugs out to our recycle container(my simple explanation was that we take things we don’t need any more, put them in the container, and new things are made out of them), Bear said, “I wanna recycle Monkey.”

Monkey, to my mil, who is on the plump side: “Grandma, why are you so fat?” OMG, NO, I have never said anything like that about her around him. Actually, I’ve never said it, ever. I’m not stupid. I might have thought it, but never said it.

Asking Bear what he thinks about living on the beach, “It’s the biggest ocean I ever see.”

Gotta love what kids come up with!

Anyone have some gems of their own to share?

    LOL @ the crack about MIL. Kids will get us in trouble!!
    My daughter once burned her hand on a hot hot iron. While I was loving her up I explained that we didn't touch irons cause they got hot to get wrinkles out.
    A few days later we were at Freds and an OLD man was behind us. Nikki kept staring at him and I kept telling her that wasn't nice,we don't stare. She took my face in both her little hands and very loudly said But mama he needs to iron his face!

    Talk about red in the face. She's my pregnant one,can't wait to see the payback!

    The leprechaun comment is hilarious! If I'm in clothes other than my "normal" ones, my kids ask if I'm going to work. Because that is the only time I put in any effort towards my appearance.

    What did your MIL say? Poor thing?!

    I wasn't there when he said that to mil, just heard it from Hubs. My reaction was to immediately tell him that I've never said that, but luckily, he knows that already.
