Things Children Say
A three year old was asked by his mom to pick up his toys. The child replied, "My picker upper don't work."
On cleaning her seven year old son's dresser drawer, a mother was shocked to see a pile of chicken bones in a zip bag. "What on earth are these for?" Reply, "Oh, yeah, Mama, you know those skeletons you see in a doctor's office, well, I'm gonna put together a skeleton of a chicken just as soon as I can figure out how. Cool, huh?"
Overheard conversation between a ten year old and her two year brother, "Why are you on top the piano?" "I dunno." "Don't you know if Mama catches you up there, you're gonna get a spankin'?" "Uh huh." "Then why do you do it?" "I dunno." "Well, get down." "I dunno how."
A five year old boy gets angry with his Mama, packs his bag with important items: teddy bear, blanket, shirt, toy cars, a star wars figure, and a book. He leaves the house, with "Well, I'm going." Mother watches out the bay window keeping a close eye on the boy. He puts his suitcase down and plays with other boys on the street. One by one, the moms call their children home for lunch. The little boys picks up his suitcase, looks to the right and left, and heads for his house. Mother quickly pours a cup of coffee and sits casually at the breakfast table. The boy comes in the kitchen, puts his suitcase down, and walks over by the puppy laying on a rug by the stove and says, "Well, I see ya still got the same dog."
A mom and her three year old walk up the corner market to get a treat and wait for the private school bus to drop off two more of her children. On the walk, the little three year old sees several elderly people being taken on walks. Most are in wheel chairs, stuffed animals on the lays, and blankets over the feet. They little boy says, "Mama, why do those old people act like babies?" The mother patiently explains that sometimes when people get very old they forget things and become like little children again, and they need help. The child says, "Do they gots to wear diapers too like a baby?" The mother says that sometimes they do. The little boy walks silently on. Then he stops and takes his mother's hand, "Mama, when you gets really old, I will take care of you an change your diapers. I doed that for you, Mama." The mother squeezes her son's hand, smiles, and hides his words in her heart.
A six year old asked his mother for help with his homework. When the mother went to help him, it became clear that he wanted mom to do the work. Mom says simply, "Doing it for you isn't helping you." Later that evening, the mother tidied up the house before bedtime. She brought the vacuum into her son's room, and said, "Help please. Pick up the toys so I can vacuum." The child looks at his mother and says, "Oh Mama, member what you said, doing it for you isn't helping."
A family held a church party at their home. The mom wanted everything to go off without a hitch. When she walked into the kitchen with the pastor and his wife right behind her, she found her 20 month old son sitting in the middle of the floor with nearly 5 lbs of flour all over him; only his brown eyes peeked through the floury face. The mother was dumbfounded and felt like saying a few choice words, but with the pastor behind her said, "Oh, dear, whatever am I going to do with you?" The toddler said simply, "Love me to pieces, Mama."
Two little cousins, one 9 and the other 5, sat talking on the sofa. The older one said, "When I get grown up, I'm gonna marry a doctor and have a big car and lots of dogs. What do you want? "The little 5 year thought about for a while and said, "Bein' growed up is hard. I'm gonna stay a kid." "But you have ta grow up. It's a rule." "Oh, bummer. I gotta think bout it some more."
An 18 month old came to his mother and said, "Uh-oh, dairs a mouf in da house, I tink."
A brother and sister argued over a board game. The sister clobbered the brother over the head with the game board. The mother told her daughter to march into the bedroom. The daughter replied as she tromped down the hallway, "I don't care if I do get spanked. It was worth to knock him in the head."
A mom sat in her rocking chair feeding her newborn son. Her 14 month old daughter comes in the room dragging her little rocker and her baby doll. She parks the rocker next to her mommy, and holds her baby. She looks up at her mommy and said, "Mine's hungie, is yours?"
A kindergartner had been so excited about his dog having puppies. Each day morning upon arriving into the room, he would run to the teacher and talk about the coming puppies. One morning, he walked into the room looking sullen. "What's wrong, Ignacio?" The teacher asked. "Well, Miss Fuller, my stupid dog had the stupid puppies." "What happened? Are they all right?" Ignacio looked at the teacher and said, "Yeah, they are all right, but I wanted German Shepard's, and my sister wanted Dalmatians, but you know what we got? We got basset hounds, and we already had one of those!"
Hope you enjoyed some of these quotes. It was a walk down memory lane for me. I let the names of family members remain secret, but I wonder if they won't guess!
