My four year old nephew has some trouble with words ending with S sometimes. Recently i've shown him some rube golberg/dice falling over videos since he likes looking at the designs.

Now once per day he'll run up to me and say "Uncle J, can we watch the dyke videos??"

Only the dead can know peace from these hats.
I used to work on the butchery counter in a supermarket, which was right next to the fishmonger's counter. We'd get a lot of kids who either thought the fish on display were cool or gross, but one time this kid took one look at the counter, turned to his dad and said "Daddy, those fish are dead :ohdear:" in the kind of tone that suggested he didn't think his dad had realised.

My 3 year old son is fixated on a game called "Jail." He pretends to buy a new car, then smacks the car and breaks it (he is a sound effects machine and loves shouting all the noises the breaking glass would make). Then he expects me to come and make police siren noises, lets me arrest him, and send him to one of many specific jails. We have work jail, where he is required to pick up toys to get out, we have food jail where he needs to eat lunch / dinner / snacks to get out, and we have lockup jail where I wrap him in a few blankets and he's not allowed to move until his time is up.

One part of me is worried that I'm making the idea of "jail" fun. The other is kind of relieved that he actually listens and fully completes whatever task I give him without any complaints.

Either way, when I come home from work he's waiting there saying "don't smack that car don't smack that car don't smack that car.... POW ding ding sshhhh ding ding. Uh oh, police man is comin! He's putting me in jail!"

You might have to show him OZ when he gets older to re-scare him but good work finding a game that involves cleaning!

My niece was obsessed for a while with a game where I picked her up and "put her in the oven" (threw her on the sofa). She's never tried to cook anyone as far as I know.

My son was playing in his room, whispering to himself, which if you've never experienced from a toddler can be a bit unnerving. I asked him "What are you saying?" "I didn't say nothin!" "What were you whispering? I heard you say something"
"I didn't, the people in my eye are talking." :stare:

It took me a few minutes to piece together that he was playing Inside Out, pretending to be the characters that live in his head.

Me: Okay, this clue says "Michigan has two ____"
Kid: uh....

Kid: ...pirate coves?

My son, 2 months, has colic something fierce. For anyone who doesn't know, it's essentially gas pains. So after a bout of grunting and fussing this morning my older son went to investigate the commotion. This little 1 and a half year old is awesome and loves his brother already which is hella cool. Anyways the little one finally farts akin to the sound of a balloon letting the air out of its valve, to which the biggun runs away screaming "WHY!?" One of the only words he knows, but drat if he doesn't do it correctly.

I laugh my rear end off because I am also a child and farts are funny.

A friend of mine taught his nephew how to say "DEEZ NUTS". Kid also likes to point at things while doing so. The best part is that because he's only 3-4 yrs old, his height makes it so that everything he points at is generally nutsack level.

His mother is not very pleased.

My son is the gassiest child I have ever known. It never bothers him, he just farts with the best of them. One of his favorite things to do is bounce like loving Tigger all over the place and I never cease to laugh at him farting every time he lands on the ground. Jumpin' farts!

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
Kids and farts stories eh? Well the funniest moment I'll ever have in my entire life is one of these, and nobody else got to see it. My son was around 18-24 months at the time. He's sitting on the couch at the far end of the living room. I'm standing to the side, my back facing the room. I let out a big fart because I'm a classy dad. He gets up and starts running through the room with a big grin on his face as toddlers are wont to do. And then it happens. He hits the wall of stink. He stops dead and his arms fly into the air while a look of pure unbridled terror and disgust cross his face and he practically falls over. I DO fall over laughing so hard at the reaction, nearly peeing myself. I still laugh hard at this event, and he's nearly 9.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
My son is still very young and is in the stage where he only puts a few words together.

Lately he has been asking me to "wrestle", which is your typical Dad horseplay stuff of grabs and spins and hollering. Anyway after a wrestle session a few days ago he's still not satisfied, and he comes over to me on the couch and says "wrestle!" and I say, "oh daddy needs a break right now, we're about to have dinner." He tries a few more times, then takes my hand and says "papi, walk!" which is my cue to come with him and he usually he takes me over to a toy or book or something and we goof off, or we go see the dogs in the backyard or something else varied. So I stand up and he says "WRESTLE!" with a big smile on his face, like "well buddy you're standing up now so you better wrestle with me". So I did, because I figured he earned it.

Next day, same story, we horseplay around and afterwards I'm sitting down and he comes over and says "wrestle!" and I say "oh bud, we already wrestled, let's read a book" and of course he immediately says "ok, papi, walk!" and I look him in the eye and say "son, I know you're trying to get me to stand up so we can wrestle" and he is silent for a moment and then gently takes my hand and looks at me with the most loving innocent look and says "papi, walk..." very gently and a little sadly. I feel a bit guilty and say "ok" and stand up and he immediately starts giggling so hard he can barely say "w...w...wrestle!" and then literally doubles over with laughter, cracking up at his own cleverness at tricking me. I didn't even have to wrestle with him, he got back up and wandered off to his books, satisfied.

I did this with my nephew back when he was around 5, but I taught it to him as a knock knock joke. Of course the first person he told it to was his mother, who was immensely displeased with me to say the least. And my brother couldn't stop laughing, which only served to make her even madder (as well as insure that the little guy was gonna tell his awesome new joke to every single person he laid eyes on). She laughs about it now but man, at the time I thought I was a dead man.

Yes I see the moon. The moon is white. The moon is round. The moon is in the sky.

>"Papi! Touch moon!"

We can't do that. The moon is too far away.

>"Papi! Hug moon!"

We can't hug the moon. The moon is too far away.

>"Papi! Walk to moon!"

We can't walk to the moon. The moon is above us, in the sky. You can't walk in the sky without wings.

>"Papi, N!"

You are in the front room of the house. The smell of spagetti comes from the kitchen.

My four year-old today: "You're the Master of liking penis, papa" (Fair enough, unlike mama, I still laugh each time she yells "Penis!")

Last week I was talking about the planets of the solar system, because she's been very interested in space, watching the moon landing on youtube, etc. As I started listing the planets she smiles big, raising her hand. "Venus sounds like you said... penis" I laugh, mama even cracks a grin. "Now do you like penis, mama? Mama, do you like penis?"

Mine worked out when she was around four or five that as far as video game characters are concerned, humans are the bosses that kill them easily and are hard to kill. A nice bit of developing a theory of mind there. Of course, she cackled with supervillain glee when I pointed out this made her the bad guy.

My (autistic) 8-year-old has recently become obsessed with Kerbal Space Program. He was complaining to my boyfriend that he was having a hard time getting some particular rocket to go as high as he wanted. Boyfriend explained that if he had two stages of rocket boosters, then the rocket would become lighter after the first boosters fell off, which would allow the second stage to propel it higher.

Kid: (Sigh) "Yeah, I know I could do that, but you see, the problem is I'm too lazy."

ETA: Since then, boyfriend and I have started using "But you see, the problem is I'm too lazy" as a reason not to do things. Seems legit.
