Kids Say the Darndest Things...

[minnesotablu]

something fun for the family forum! i'm a nanny, and I find that the kids I watch say the funniest things! I'd love to hear your funny kid stories or family happenings! haha

I'll start:

When I was a nanny for 5 kids last year, I was parking their huge suburban next to the garage, and it was hard for me to see so I was talking to myself "am I close enough to that side?" and Jaeger (6) said, "yep, yep! you're just PERFECT!" so I jokingly said "Awww Jaeger, you think i'm perfect " and he rolled his eyes and climbed out of the parked Suburban, followed by 2 of his sisters. Then, his younger sister Jalana (3) comes up from the back of the suburban, puts her hand on my shoulder and says soothingly, "Jenni, you ARE perfect... your driving is not." then she sighed and jumped out of the car like it was nothing! hahaha i laughed so hard! It's still my favorite story ever!

YOUR TURN!

I was riding in the car, teaching my little brother (like 15 months old at the time) to say "Blah blah blah" after people say something. So, we get out of the car, and BAM, we meet up with one of my Dad's coworkers and his wife. She says "What a beautiful little boy" and my brother goes "Blah blah blah!". It was prreeeeettty awesome.

I told my five year old that today was a special day at school because it was music day. He said "no, no mommy. Sandra (the neighbor) says it's GARBAGE day." Guess it can't be both.

When my oldest was starting high school (the place looks like a university with its cafetorium and such), the principal was talking about how the different sections of the school were called pods. My son asked if the music section was the ipod.

One time in Bible school, the kids were supposed to memorize the Lord's prayer by the end of the week, so they learned 1 or 2 verses each day. This little 5 or 6 year old boy said "Our Father, which art in heaven, how'd you know my name?" And another little girl said "Lead us not into temptation and deliver us some email." lol

hahahaaaa sweetnshy! omw that is one of the cutest things i've ever heard! i can honestly say i laughed out loud haha

 

[minnesotablu]

haha okay the following happened in the spring... but it's sooo cute

This was sooooo cute i had to share! So the two oldest I nanny (Jaeger, and Javana) decided to go outside and water the "flowers" (bushes...lol) with a little watering can while i straightened the house. they were outside for like 5 minutes when Javana came racing back into the house with the wide eyes of excitement:

Javana: JENNI! there are flowers in our yard!
ME: Oh yeah? That's so cool!
Javana: But jenni! We didn't plant THOSE flowers!
ME: Oh? Well they must be wild then huh?
Javana: NOOOO JENNI! They're not WILD!
ME: Really? Then how'd they get there?
Javana: I don't know... but i'm pretty sure God did it.

hahahaha.... i thought it was soooooo cute! she was soooo serious when she said it too and soooo excited that God had done it! I just smiled and agreed that she must have done something very special so that God would plant a special garden for her! She was VERY pleased with that answer! lol

I'm still dying over the Lord's prayer

I thought of another VBS story! The kids were learning the Lord's prayer, and studying just 1 or 2 verses each day. So on the day we were working on "Lead us not into temptation," the Bible lesson was about being tempted and they did this activity. The kids were in small groups with a leader in each group, and we were each given a card with a picture on it of some scenario that would be a common temptation kids might face. My group had this picture of a boy trying to get another boy to watch an R-rated movie. So we're talking about why that would be wrong, and one of the kids said "Don't you have to be a certain age to watch an R-rated movie?" and I said you had to be 17 unless a parent said it was okay. So then the teacher wanted one kid from each group to tell about our scenario and what we talked about. This girl from our group stands up and tells everyone our situation, and the teacher said "So what should he NOT do?" and the girl said "He shouldn't watch it." The teacher says "And what should he do?" and she says "Wait till he's 17 and watch it then!"

I babsit for a living and have two little girls (sisters) who come in every morning for a while before school (and come back here after school till their parents come home) The yougest one back in Sept came running into my house, throws off her bookbag, opens her arms up wide and throws them into the air (while reaching out for my hug) and shouts in singsong "TA-DA-DA--DA-DA-DA--TA DAAAAAAA.....you NOTICE anything????? It's my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!"

I just threw my arms around her and laughed and rejoiced in the innocence of a just turned 6 year old thinking others should be able to NOTICE such an exciting day as their birthday....aren't kids AWESOME???

At my last job, I got to work one morning and Jaeger (6) had just got back from the dentist and was an unusually good mood... so he started singing... lol however, instead of singing "macho, macho, macho man" like he was intending... it came out "nacho, nacho, nacho man... i want to be a nacho man" rofl... it cracked me up all day and me and his mom were thinking it'd make a great song for like a taco bell commercial! haha

 

[nanabean]

Just the other day,the same two little girls I babysit before and after school came running into the kitchen announcing..."We know a new Christmas song!! wanna hear it??" of course I said yes!!! and so they begin "Deck the halls with bows of folly....Fa la la la la La la la la......" then they just stop and look at each other.....just as I was thinking maybe I should help them out, they shrug their shoulders and continue......." Something something something something somp, somp, somp,somp,somp some some some THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

[sweetnshy]

One time I heard a little girl say "We can't cross the street by ourselves, 'cause we might get dead."

 

[minnesotablu]

LOL sweetnshy! That reminds me of the last kids i watched, when i first started i asked them what they'll do if a stranger comes up to them and Javana (5) got this evil grin on her face and said "jab 'em in the eyes!" as she thrust her two fingers close to my face... haha i was like "okay... that's good, but how 'bout you just come tell me instead k?" lol

 

[sweetnshy]

haha, that's cute. I'm a teacher, so I hear crazy comments from kids every day. lol

 

[worshipwarrior19]

I have one boy, he is nearly 3, we recently visited some friends of mine out of state for the weekend. They live out in the sticks, on a small farm. My son is used to country living, minus the early morning chores. Caleb was asked at supper the first night if he was going to be ready to get to work at 4 a.m. to which he replied " I do not shovel stinky stuff, I do not walk through chicken poop, and I am pretty sure I do not get up that early, but ask me again tomorrow around after lunch" It was amazing that a child his age could silence, confuse, and pause 4 adults in a single sentence.

 

[minnesotablu]

hahaha cheese... that made me laugh a little.
