Oh The Funny Things We Hear Ourselves Say...

[MissAnn]

Spaghetti is not finger food

Fiber makes you poop. (Why we don't just **** the juice out of an orange)

[midaycare]

"If you don't behave, I'm going to take away your glitter glue privileges."

"No, no, we don't lick the cat."

Sometimes it's just the questions I get asked. "Ms. Midaycare, why does my poop smell? Does your poop smell? Does all poop smell?" Sigh ...

When I have a line of children with hands that need washing, I tell them all to "reach for the sky" and they all stick their hands straight up above their heads and go to the sink. It's funny when parents come and pick up and we need to do a quick washing, because sometimes one of the kids will pipe up with my line, Reach for the sky!

I sometimes catch myself speaking to adults in kidspeak. I have used the 'words' gived, drived, eated...and then turn beet red.

I can add
"If you want to play with your friends you have to at least have underwear on!"

(my son who wants to be naked all the time)

This is my daily conversation with my son as well! Lol

"No thank you, you don't need to pick up that rock. We have plenty of rocks in the yard at home."

"That is not a slide." (to EVERY INCLINED SURFACE HE SEES)

"Food belongs in your mouth, not your hair."

"Your penis is not broken, you just don't need to pee right now. Squeezing it won't help pee come out. No...your penis isn't broken because it won't point down, penises are tricky like that, sometimes they point up instead. If you leave it alone it will go back down. Let's put your pull-up back on now...."

[sahm1225]

"Please don't use the same piece of toilet paper for your penis and your nose."

"Please stop licking the bottom of your friends shoes."

This made me laugh out loud!!!

I have a dcb who is obsessed with penises. He will say M has a penis, B has a penis, Tucker (our dog) has a penis, and mommy has a V!!!

[melilley]

The dog has eyes, he is going to look at you.

Yes, boys have penises, girls have V's (mom calls lady parts v's)

Use nice touches. (Sounds kinda weird to me)

I also have a dcb who is almost 3 and can barely talk. I'm constantly saying LLLLL or BBBBBB or something or repeating words, if someone were to walk by and hear me, they would probably wonder if I can talk!

OMG I'm dying over here ::::::

My son 3 last night "Mommy look at my big weeny! Here it is, see it?" I tell him to leave it alone and please don't put it in my face , I can see from where you are. A couple minutes later I hear "Mommy, it's a tiny baby weeny again!" O...M...G...!

[e.j.]

"No, I can't hold your balls while you climb the stairs to the slide."

"I'm sorry to hear that your penis doesn't like me. You still have to sit in time out for hitting your friend."

[Chellieleanne]

The other night with my kids.. "Mommy I peed all over bubba" me:" we don't pee on brother, we pee in the toilet." Both my boys were trying to pee in the toilet at the same time and older DS purposely aimed toward younger DS.



"We play nice with our friends, we don't sit on them"

"Get your feet out of your mouth" said both to my younger DS and almost 3yo DCB

"Ask if you can knock over the tower" to DCB who likes to ruin everything other kids make.

Some of the things I can remember at least. Kids are funny creatures

[Chellieleanne]

" Boys, we don't wear dresses at the table."

Aw why not? When I worked in a center we had two boys who would wear the dresses in the dress up center, it was cute

When I read it, I figured the boys didn't take off the dress up clothes before lunch

[Julie Walehwa]

You may not...

I started to say, "You may not" instead of "we don't...." because a child answered me, "yes, we do". I couldn't argue because the child was right.

"You may not twirl you bacon in the air" is clear, direct, and something I had never said before nor since that fun breakfast.
