My older nephew has a little brother who hasn't started talking yet. He refers to the little dude as "My baby."

My sister brought Evan, the older one, a present. Evan's been taught that it's rude to ask for presents before they're offered. Ever the clever one, Evan looked up at my sister with big eyes.

"My baby really wants to know what you got me!"

Time for some thrilling heroics.
I dye my hair about once a month. It's been white/blue/green etc past few months. I just dyed it purple and my 2 year old saw it for the first time.

The whole day she didn't say anything about it until finally she was sitting on the counter brushing her teeth. She stopped suddenly, reached up gently and pet my head: "I like your hair, mommy."

I just :3:

Nobody else's opinions matter to me. Just hers.

I'm going for gasps.
At dinner a couple of weeks ago my Sister In law complimenting my step-mothers roast vegtables:
"I'd be skinny if all vegetables were like this". To which her 5 year old, without looking up from her plate replied:
"But you're not." Then carried on eating.

I'm helping a 4 year old boy put on sun-screen:
Him: "Y'know, Ms. Gloworm, I've seen Transformers."
Me: "Oh yeah?"
Him: "Yeah. And in the movie they eat sun-screen."
Me: .....
Him: .....
Me: "Do you mean Starscream?"
Him: "Yeah!"

I had the best little dude at work this morning. As his mom is unloading her cart he proudly announces, "I got a new guy!" Assuming he meant an action figure I asked who it was. "It's Daddy!," he declares happily, then adding, "He's at work." To continue the conversation I asked what his Daddy does at work----kid thinks for a second then says, "He breaks stuff. An' PawPaw fixes it." This makes the mom laugh as well, more so as I'm handing her the receipt and the little guy sighs and shrugs exactly like the :shrug: smilie and adds, "I wish I was a submarine. I wish mommy was a submarine."

This is more of a "poo poo parents say," but I just really liked it -

Overheard at a store:

Little Boy: Why can't I have it [this toy]?
Dad: Because you don't have a job.

Scene: Grocery store, shopping.

Wife: What do you want for dinner?
Our 5 year old son: Macaroni cheese. (sideways look) Have you heard of this?
Wife: Yes, I can make that.
Son: Good.

I thought it was funny because of the way he paused and looked at her like "hmm I guess this could be a strange and exotic new foodstuff unknown to mother until now, I had better ensure she is up to the task"


Also our boys go to daycare with a kid nasmed Finnegan, but they can't pronounce it so they are always talking about what they and Figgyden did together. It's adoreable.

My 4-year-old burst in on me while I was playing Dark Souls 3, right as I triggered the Wolnir boss fight. Just for reference, here's what you see when the fight begins.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gtq9ekHPhJE&t=55s

I was freaking out because 'oh god it's a giant skeleton monster I'm gonna die', but my daughter was just so delighted.

"IT'S A DINOSAUR SKELETON!!" :swoon:

I flailed around for a bit, dealing barely any damage to the boss, and then it summoned army of human-sized skeleton warriors that converged on me.

"AWW, LOOK THE MOMMY DINOSAUR SKELETON HAS BABY SKELETONS!" :swoon:

And then I got horribly murdered. My daughter laughed at me and said "YOU DIED" in the most condescending way I've ever heard her say anything to me. And then she asked me to go fight the skeleton again.

Good times.

When my guild downed Arthus my twin daughters watched the fight, a glitch kicked me off the platform when Arthus "kills" the party so I didn't get the end animation. I was all !NERD SAD! and my daughter put her hand on my forearm and said "I'm sorry you lost your fight daddy"

drat son. Also when I sent that to my wife she agreed with him.

Also on the topic of drawings, my son also has a picture of a building and it is on fire. Then the teacher superimposed a picture of him smiling with his red crayon over the top of it. Also its two buildings. Two tall buildings ...

Basically it looks like my child is standing over the top of the burning twin towers with a demonic grin on his face like "look what I did!"

The mental picture this created is honestly the funniest thing my imagination has come up with all week. The superposition had to have been on purpose, holy poo poo.

The kid we babysit noticed a bunch of shot glasses we had drying on the counter, and asked "Why do you have baby glasses?"

I explained that they are called shot glasses, and that they are for big boys and girls when they don't want to drink a lot of something. He seemed to accept that.

Few hours later, his mom calls us. Evidently the kid thinks he's a big boy (at 5), so when asked about what he wanted to drink with his snack, he replied "I'm not too thirsty, can I get a shot glass of apple juice?"

Haha I did almost the same thing regarding shot glasses when I was roughly kindergarten age... my grandparents had shot glasses that looked like miniature wood-handled beer mugs (similar to the ones below) and eventually I whined enough to be served chocolate milk in them several times

It's good to have a sense of scale.



My uncle had a collection of high end German beer steins and I never understood why I wasn't allowed to drink from them. They're cups, but with attached lids that flip open! I didn't get why they didn't use them all the time.



I mean how could you not want to drink chocolate milk out of that all day long?

They're heavy and probably expensive, the likelihood of a kid breaking them is high. I have a nice beer stein that I frequently use for coffee and water though, so yeah, if it's your stein go nuts, but I wouldn't let my nephew use it.

My friend and her kid and I were sitting around the bar in my basement when the kid was about 3. Kid wanted to try her mom's kombucha, so she poured a little into a shot glass. I thought this was cute, so started taking pictures just as the kid gulped it down, grimaced, slammed the glass down, threw her head back and made a series of dramatic faces about how gross it was. You would think from the pictures that we had actually given a preschooler a shot of hard liquor.

Last week, I went out to eat with my kids, and the 9yo was finished first and got bored. He sighed, "I just can't wait till I can go home, take my shirt off, and watch some YouTube."

Apparently my child is a 30-something neckbeard.

Couple months ago we were out with a nephew and his parents, and he spent all of dinner watching minecraft LPers. And he didn't want to go get ice cream because he wanted to play minecraft on my computer. Due to various allergies he'd never had real good ice cream, but we took him to a place with legit vegan ice cream, and he learned the folly of his ways

My daughter has a guitar and likes to make up songs to sing. She decided to sing about her 2-year-old brother. I've transcribed the lyrics.

"OHHHH, why does my brother take boogies out of his nose?
They're disgusting, oh yeeaaaahhh.
That's why 'Brother! Stop it!'
You say 'Brother! Stop it!' 'Brother! Stop it!'
Oohhhhh that's disgusting brother, oh yeaaahhh

I work in a kindergarten. A couple of days ago two little girls, one two years old and one not quite two yet, got into a heated argument because one of them exclaimed "Mommy and daddy come get [her name]". This didn't sit well with the other girl who knew for a fact that mommy and daddy were going to come get her and since there could only be one mommy and daddy the other girl was lying so she pointed at her self and said "No! Mommy, daddy! Car! Mommy, daddy!".

This went back and forth for quite a while.

Porpoise noise continues.
Practicing idioms:

STUDENT 1: "Why are you so blue?"
STUDENT 2: *going off-script* :byodame: "BECAUSE I'M AVATAR!" :byodame:

Also, out of NOWHERE, one of my kids just ran up to me and shouted, "FLETA! I WANNA TOUCH YOUR BOOB!" and ran away. She's fifteen. My boss was right there. Also, why only one?

e: This doesn't exactly go here, but it's amusing nonetheless.

Our office overlooks the kindergarten and they have super-loud speakers. Usually, they play a horrible selection of whining, repetitive kids' songs, but today they are playing a wonderful Halloween playlist that consists of a Marilyn Manson cover of This Is Halloween, the Phantom of the Opera, various clips from the Luigi's Mansion soundtrack...and Superfreak. Lots and lots of Superfreak. I have heard Superfreak at least seven times today. I don't know if it's less appropriate for school or for Halloween, but I am considering going over and socking all of the teachers right in the clam for making such a lovely playlist.
