Funny Things My Kids Have Said

August 30, 2008
I don't even remember what we were talking about but I looked at Zach, age 6 and said, "You are so bizarre." And completely serious and honestly he said, "I eat bugs."
Wha?


Misheard lyric: "You make a man wanna shish kanish." (Koty, age 11) Shakira, Hips Don't Lie.
Actual lyric: "You make a man wanna speak Spanish."

Misheard lyric: "I'm shavin'!" (Koty, age 11) Garth Brooks, Shameless
Actual lyric: "I'm shameless!"

Misheard lyric: "Mr. Oompa Loompa." (Koty, age 11) Shaggy
Actual lyric: "Mr. Luva Luva." yeah, he probably isn't going to have an ear for music

March, 2007
It was one of those days that my oldest two kids were arguing or trying to dispute everything I say. Out of frustration, while we were driving home from picking the youngest up from daycare, I said, "I am so tired of kids thinking they know everything!"
Out of dead silence, Zach, age 5 said, "I know everything about ants and peanuts."
Are you kidding me?

October 2008
My youngest son, Zach, was telling me about carving pumpkins at his dad's house. I asked him what his was. He said it was a mean face and it had a bullet hole carved into it. I said, "How lovely." And then teased him by saying, "Couldn't you have done something sweet and cute like a bunny or a lamb or a butterfly or something?" And said with all seriousness, "Mom, that's not how rednecks roll." (So thrilled his father is a redneck.)
