Funny things kids say and do.
I have a black thumb when it comes
to flowers but I had managed to
succeed in having one lone flower
in our backyard. While I was ob-
serving it , my little toddler was
with me. So I said, "Now, Patti,
don't pick that flower or it won't
grow big". I went back inside and
soon Patti came in with my flow-
er! When I ask her why she picked
my flower she replied, "But Mom-
my , it was not growing it was just
standing there".
My sister shared something her lit-
tle toddler said while flying for the
first time. Her daughter was look-
ing out the window and ask,
"Mommy, why are we flying upside
down?" (they were flying above a
layer of clouds at the time.)
My son David, when he was about
4, wanted a garden. I helped him
plant a few radishes under my
kitchen window. They hadn't
seemed to grow properly and I
wondered why. One morning I
heard David talking to his little
friend. He was telling the boy
about his radishes. I decided to
join them and while I was walking
towards them I saw David pull out
a radish and say, "See my rad-
ish?". He then put it back in the
ground.
When my little Patti was about 2
or so. she was playing in our
fenced backyard. I was in the
basement washing with the door to
the backyard open so I could hear
my little girl. I noticed she started
talking to herself a bit. "Num,
Num", she said. I knew she had
nothing to eat so I quickly ran to
her. She held out her hand and
repeated.."Num, Num" To my hor-
ror ..in her hand was the remains of
a baby bird which must have fallen
from the nest!! I grabbed Patti and
ran for the house, trying to get
what was in her mouth ..out while I
ran. I was a young mother and
scared to death of what just took
place. I quickly called the doc-
tor. "PATTI ATE A BIRD!", I
sobbed out. To my horror the
doctor started laughing hysterical-
ly? When he could finally gain
control of himself he said, "Give
her a glass of water to wash it
down"...then started laughing
again.
Another time when David was lit-
tle, he woke me up yelling,
"'MAMA!, MAMA!" I jumped up
and ran to him.
I found him in the kitchen by the
window up on a step-stool. Look-
ing out the window he yelled
"LOOK MAMA! THE MOUNTAINS
ARE UP!" (We had a lot of smog
most of the time and you couldn't
see the mountains) He thought
they went up and down like an
elevator.
One of my others sisters had this
happen. She was shopping in a
grocery store and had her little
girl in a stroller. Her little girl was
sucking on a lollypop. A man
came up to her and said,
"Wow! What a great lollypop
you have.". Her little girl had a
serious look as she said, "If you go
poo-poo potty you could get a
lollypop too."
My toddler and I went to the
Meat Market one day. It was a
very small one and was packed
with people waiting to be waited
on. My toddler was exceptional-
ly and had walked early. It was
finally my turn to order the meat I
wanted. In the corner of my eye I
noticed little Patti was staring at
an exceptionally tall man next to
her.. I tried to get her attention to
give her a stern look for staring
but had to pay attention to what I
was buying. As soon as I could I
looked back at Patti, she was
slowly moving her eyes up the
man. When she reached his head
she fell over backwards, her eyes
never left his head...nor did she
cry...just laid there staring......! I
was horrified at her manners....but
before I could scold her and help
her up the market filled with
laughter, it seems everyone was
being entertained by this. Even
the tall man was laughing.
It seems my little boy was always
up before me. On one occasion I
awoke abruptly when he pulled
one of my eyelids open and ask,
"Mama are you in there"?
One year we had hundreds of
snails bothering our plans. They
were everywhere. During this
time I received a call from my
close neighbor. "Did you know
your little boy is going door to
door trying to sell snails?"
I quickly ran outside and sure
enough he was on his way to the
next neighbor to sell snails!
This was sent to me via e-mail
from a person named Kathy.
While at the doctor's late one
evening, the cleaning crew start-
ed to pick up. One man in the
crew (wearing short sleeved shirt)
was missing an arm. My son, who
was seven at the time, walked
over to the man, stood right next
to him and bent his body so he
could look up the empty
sleeve. From across the room he
shouted, "Mommy, his arm is
gone!" Fortunately, the man
laughed and explained what
had happened to him.
This one was also sent to me from
Kathy: My son, who is ADD, could
easily get out of control. Instead
of always saying, "stop that" or
"don't do that" etc. I wanted to
get my message across without
always sounding negative; so, he
and I decided that when I thought
things were getting out of hand, I
would say, "put the brakes
on." Then one summer afternoon
he was running through the back-
yard after another child, I yelled
out "Put the breaks on", he yelled
back without missing a step, "The
brakes are Broken!"
