bringmyfishback posted:Oh, this happened today: Are there enough ESL goons to make a separate thread? I have a few things that are less poo poo kids say (because they're adults) and more funny/insanely observant things ESL students say. E for content: my niece is an odd brand of very smart and very imaginative, so she's very logical but still believes in Santa. Last year, when she was 7, she explained that Santa lives in the North Pole, and if he wasn't real then where would the elves who live there work? defectivemonkey has a new favorite as of 20:33 on Dec 23, 2013 |

Trivial Fursuit posted:The first time my (four years old) son saw me in contacts, he looked at me for a long time, before saying "daddy, you're not wearing your glasses... have you LOST them?!" in a very accusatory voice. Kids get very sassy when you lose something. I broke my phone once by dropping it and my niece said "well, sounds like she should have been paying more attention". When my sister dropped her phone in the toilet her daughter ran around telling everyone, "mommy pooped her phone".

While at a crowded restaurant showing soccer on TV:  Who's playing?  : It looks like British teams. I HATE BRITISH PEOPLE! What? Why? THEY TRIED TO TAKE OUR FREEDOM AND FOUGHT A WAR WITH US!It's fun when a person is really smart and pays attention in school and doesn't really have a gasp of timeframes.

At the grocery store the other day, a 4-year-old-ish girl kept saying (loudly) to her mom "MOM, EVERYBODY LIKES ME." I hope that confidence never goes away

My 8-year old niece just started using the word "insulted" in the best context (note: she has braces) "The only thing that really insulted me was that popcorn stand" "I didn't get the chocolate pretzel flavor because I was really insulted by it"

My 8-year-old niece: "You know how young people when they use the internet use abbreviations for things like "lol" instead of "laugh out loud"? I'm going to quiz you to see if you know what those mean". Her quiz included "lol", "btw" and "brb". Today she texted me (from my mom's phone): "Hi. OMG means Oh My Gosh."

At a viewing yesterday, my 10-year-old niece asked me, "how do they get the suit on him without getting grossed out?"

Mulloy posted:Prior to the local amusement park we went to Disneyland and she got one of those minnie mouse hats with the bridal veil/train on it. I randomly picked it up and put it on and said "Look! I'm a Disney Princess!" and immediately she responded with "No Dad, you're a Disney Queen." My niece called tomatoes "nay-nos" for way too long because we refused to stop encouraging it. Now her emoji game is top notch when she texts me on her grandma's phone (if you ignore the constant use of the smiling poop). The best one from her recent vacation was "I am kicking back and relaxing!!! [flying money flying money flying money]"

Crow Jane posted:My boyfriend and I are visiting some friends in about a month. Their three year old is very excited about it, despite not having seen us since he was tiny. Apparently he's been asking every day when "Auntie Spider and Uncle Bug" are going to get there. Powercouple Glider and Thug itt It's time for my niece's school fundraiser. I got a nice email explaining the cause and her goal and asking for help this year. This is in sharp contrast to the email she sent the first year in this school: "Please send two checks". Everyone in the family got different versions. "I need money by Friday" and "Will you send $20". My mom thought she had been held hostage. My sister quickly emailed everyone and explained that they had written a nice email together, and as soon as she left the room my niece decided it was too detailed and she needed to get to the point quicker. I still love the "two checks". She knew if my husband and I sent money separately, she would get twice as much.

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.

Die Laughing posted:I was dressed up as Batman for Free Comic Book Day on Saturday. Taking pictures with cute kids makes me smile. At least two 7-8 year old kids reminded me that Batman doesn't smile. I hope you said "well, he's not not supposed to have a gun either".

Nekodoshi posted:My niece has grown into a real trip of a 4-year-old. She's learned sass. Today she slunk away from her parents in a parking lot to sneak into my car so I would take her home. She closed the door, and when her dad went to get her, she rolled down the window, looked him right in the eye and clicked her seat belt. "Too bad, so sad, I'm already in here." Yesss my niece was like this. She's now a preteen it's less adorable. I also have a 2-year-old nephew who doesn't talk yet. But if he is mad at you or you try to tell him to do or not do something he will blow you a kiss, wave goodbye, and walk away. It is badass.

My nephew is 2 and speech delayed so he mostly signs. When a baby cries he always thinks the baby needs milk and signs "milk" to his mom (usually while pointing to her chest). This is great when he knocks his little brother over, his little brother cries, and he tells his mom the baby must need milk.
