I was fixing a ponytail on a DCG3 & I said, "My mom use to fix my hair." She starred at me in disbelief & said, "You have a mom? She must really be old, like 23 or something."

i will do this today after nap!!!!have you ever done the questionnaire type things with your dck's?
ask them to answer questions such as
my mom is really good at ___________________
my dad is taller than a ____________________
my dad spends his time ____________when not working
my mom's favorite food to cook is ________________
my dad gets mad when _______________________
my mom's favorite thing to wear is __________________
if your mom could have 3 wishes, what would they be?
What does you dad really want for his birthday?
What is your mom's favorite bed time story?
be warned though...some of the things they say will seriously crack you up!!
I usually do this type of q & a session when we are waiting for something or during a transition time to help pass the time. I try to ask "real life" questions about their parent's work or hobbies etc...
Hearing the kids' perspective about every day life is a fantastic look inside their little brains. Hilarious too! :

:: I am so doing this today!
They like to talk about how old their parents are. They often say things like 17 and 24, or something.
When they asked how old I will be on my birthday this month their little eyes bugged out of their heads when I said 26. ::

My DCB age 3.5 told me "My daddy was mean to my mommy and made her cry" (She's 8 months pregnant). The next day he came in and said "My daddy bought my mommy flowers. She's happy now." They're so cute

Yesterday I went to my service learning site for a class and there was a writing assignment on the overhead. The teacher asked the kids (special education class; ages 6-13): If your could make up a holiday what would it be and how would you celebrate? And the answers were very random and hilarious!
One of the kids said "Laugh Your Butt-Off Day" where it would be like a carnival and the teacher would dress up like a clown because he was balding and had big feet. Another boy said "______ ("me"/him) Appreciation Day" where everyone would appreciate him and the president would appoint him as the new president of the USA. One boy even said homework day (he really likes homework and always asks for extra assignments). But the best was a from one boy who said "Kiss A Woman Day" where guys would have to kiss a woman. Which was cute, but then he made a list of exceptions: "unless she's ugly, or bald, or has bad breath, etc...." I laughed so hard I started to cry!Comment

:I asked my 3.5 yr old DCG
Me: "K, how many teeth do you have?"
K: "Hmmm, I don't know...I'll go look." (goes to mirror and proceeds to count)
Me: "Well, how many do you have?"
K: "I'm not sure. I think I might have 13 but the ones in front keep getting in the way."
Me: "How many does your mom have?"
K: "I dunno...probably enough to eat with because she eats crunchy stuff for breakfast"
Me: "How many does your little brother (age 1.5) have?"
K: "Enough to bite me because he does that all the time at home"
While I am giggling at her reply another one of my DCK's (age 4.5 yrs) pipes up and says "My grandma has 4 teeth in her mouth and a bunch in a glass by the bathroom sink"
::::::::::::: That is awesome!
ME: How many teeth do you have?
Q- Ummm, I'm not really too sure. Probably 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
ME- How many teeth does your mom have?
Q- 12. I think everyone must have 12.Comment
