I was being funny with my son today. He is 8.
He was showing me something and I replied in a sudo-jive accent (think rasta jamaican with a street edge),
"hey man thats really coooool"

He rolls his eyes and says "Don't try to fit in!"

(smart mouth little man...ooohhh he's cruisin fer trouble I tell ya!)

What do YOUR kids say?

They had Hawaii Day at my 4 year old's preschool last week. All the kids were supposed to bring some fruit to share. Levi is pretty good with the common fruits, like apples, oranges, grapes, etc., so I was curious if he would have tried anything else. I asked him what fruit he ate and he said "strawberry slobber". I was like "WHAT??" and he said "you know, when you pick up strawberries and you get strawberry slobber on your fingers!"

as if, "DUH Mom, doesn't EVERYONE know about strawberry slobber?"

Ok, not my kid, but...

I went to dinner with my sister, her husband and their 4 year old last week. There was a police officer in the restaraunt that came over to talk to him, which he LOVED. Then he pulls the officer down close to him, points at me and says "she said damn". OOPS.

My seven year old was talking about pirates 'n stuff with me, and I asked him if he knew what "walking the plank" was.

He said, "Yup. It's how you get girls off your boat."

We had baptisms at my church the last month. It was the first time my kids have seen a baptism (we baptize adults and the kids are usually still in their sunday school rooms) So my 6 yo wanted to know when he could be "bath-tized" and my 4 yo was (very loudly) commenting on how no one took off their clothes to get in the "bath-tizing" tub. "Don't they know you don't take a bath with your clothes on!"

What gets me even more is when they say something you completely don't understand...and then you find out that they are right! A family friend was over and picked up some animal toys to play with my kids. My then 5yo told her that the two animals she picked would never play together because one was nocturnal and the other was diurnal!

Where do they learn these things?

When i was a nanny my five year old (who is sadly turning TWENTY this year--when did i get THAT old? :( ) and i went to the grocery store. She was sitting in the cart and i told her that i would drive and she would navigate this time. of course i got the puzzled expression i was expecting and i explained to her what navigate meant.

a few days later i was sitting in the kitchen talking to her mom and she was telling me the most amazing Dee Dee story...lol. Dee Dee was out with her mom and Frankie (mom's b/f) They got in the car and she said:

"Frankie! You drive....i am going to aggravate today!"

this of course was amusing in itself but they asked her what she meant and she said "I am going to tell you what direction you are driving today!"

"Dee Dee where did you learn what navigate means?"

"Nanny taught me!"

they were just amazed that she knew what navigate meant even if she couldn't say it right.

i of course i was more amused by her declaration that she was going to aggravate... kids are rarely so upfront about that! :rofling:
