My Gabs gets extremely upset when she thinks a “tomatoe” is coming. One of the perks of living in the midwest & allowing your kid to watch The Wizard of Oz! LOL! THe Tomatoes are coming!The Tomatoes are coming. Take cover! And she runs to the basement:)

That’s so cute! She should be safe from the Tomatoe Twister in the basement, I should think. The flying monkeys will also never find her there!

My youngest, JSL loves changing his name. When he was younger he called himself “JSL Pup-pup.” Then it became “Robot JSL Pup-pup.” And then “Robot JSL Pup-pup.”
More recently, thanks to a love of Toy Story, he called himself “Super JSL Buzz Lightyear.” Then, I introduced him to The Avengers. He loves Captain America, but insists on calling him “Captain Ameri-CON.” His name for himself has now expanded to “Super JSL Buzz Lightyear Captain Ameri-con.” He’ll get quite frustrated at times if you just call him JSL!

I love that. From now on I want to be Super JCL BUZZ Animoid Lady-con. Yeah…..

LOL when my guy was small he used to say dinner was “bewishis”. Also, one time he bonked his head and my poppi asked if that hurt, to which squirrelboy replied ‘duh!’

When my son was about three, he tripped and fell accidentally. You could see that he was more embarrassed at his clumsiness than actually being hurt, but I asked him anyway.
“Did you get hurt?”
He nodded yes.
“What did you hurt?” I asked.
He looked up with this pout and said, “I hurt my feelings.”
ADORABLE. I may just have to draw that one some time.

OMG, how ADORABLE!
When kiddo was little, he used to say he was King of the Birds. He also had imaginary friends, but they weren’t the usual kind. No, he had wolves, and aliens. And often, he wouldn’t let us close the car door until they were all in the car with him.
I miss those days. Now he’s 18 and a handsome young man. How I miss those little arms, and that adorable little giggle…

LOL.
My youngest believes that Wal-Mart is the “Banana Store”, but is really only interested in the strawberries once we get inside the store.
She calls tomatoes “oranges” but eats them like apples.
Zucchinis, cucumbers, green peppers, etc are all pickles.
And if someone asks her what her name is she will tell you it is “Boo”, then becomes QUITE indignant that her name is “Boo” when you try to correct her by trying to get her to say “Mikaila”.

Of course Walmart is the Banana Store. It’s even got a ring of bananas in the logo. See? http://www.sherwoodparkchamber.com/images/Walmart.jpg

How about: “Can I please may I be excused?”
That’s what one of my girls says after a meal :)

My favorite from our family is “swamiches” (sandwiches) and “stummyaches” (tummyaches). Even my husband and I have started using these because of their adorable cuteness!
Twitter Name: coolwhipmom
Ha. Now I’m going to start saying “stummyaches” too. Perfect.

While at dinner, in an effort to share her manicotti, my daughter asked my son if he would like one of her ‘ravioli rollups.’
At dinner, my son was singing his version of ‘I Get Knocked Down’ by Chumbawamba and in the middle of the meal in a louder than appropriate voice he sings, ‘I get knocked up, but I get down again!’ followed quickly by, ‘that doesn’t sound right…’. He really had no idea of the meaning of what he just said. Suffice it to say my wife and I burst into laughter and I almost passed half a meatball though my nose.
I have tried to capture the same kind of things on my mikeward.com in posts called Kids Say.
Thanks Mike. Going to check out Kids Say! Meanwhile, what’s it like to pass a meatball through your nose…?

My daughter was excited to wear her new “panini” (bikini) to the pool. Lol
I can actually picture that!

My niece loves to eat “naked pusgetti” (just the pasta-no sauce) and “hay” (Cantonese noodles)
Ha! We had “busgetti” here. But it was dressed and quite saucily, I might add.

My son used to brush his teeps and couldn’t wait for Santa Closet to come. My daughter gets “leary, leary,” excited for upcoming events or “leary” hungry when she’s ready for a meal. It’s a cross between really and very and I just can’t get her to give up the Leary.
Twitter Name: HeatherSchiavo
The Santa Closet!!! I love that…..prolly where he keeps his naughty / nice list.

My son, whilst going to the potty, pointed underneath his thang and said, “Mom, is that my pee pee’s brains?”
I’m cracking up! What did you answer?
Twitter Name: littleanimation
p.s. you probably should draw my story. :)
I’m sorry, that should read should NOT draw my story.
LOL!!!

You probably not old enough to remember Art Linkletter…a well know TV guy who hosted a TV show in circa 1950′s called “Kids Say the Darndest Things”. Typically, he would have 3-4 young kids on stage sitting on bar stool height chairs and it was hilarious the kind of info he would get from these youngsters. Don’t know if he could be found on YouTube…I’ll have to look.
Hey Fred! So that’s where it comes from…feel free to post the link here, if you happen to find the clip, okay? Thanks!

This cracked me up. My kids are complete weirdos like me. One of their favorite things to do is to play zombies. All day long, I have a 1 & 1/2yo in a diaper chasing around a 3yo in briefs (getting these monsters to wear clothes is like world war 3!). The baby growls and chomps his teeth with one arm in the air while running after the big boy who is screaming “I don’t want to be a zombie, I want to be me, don’t bite me”
It’s like a miniature Night of the Living Dead. Who says life can’t be like the movies?

So funny…brought back some great memories!
My daughter used to call the “merry-go-round,”
the “DIZZY!”
My twin girls just turned 2, so they’re in the middle of the language explosion. And they’re learning Vietnamese (Mom’s native tongue) as well as English, so there’s all kinds of craziness going on. They’re very interested in boobs, which they call “boo-boos” or “bo-bos,” and every kind of belt or strap is a “seatbelt.” So naturally, Mom’s bra is called “Mommy boo-boo seatbelt.”
Haaaaa! Don’t forget to fasten your boo-boo seatbelt, heheh.

We have “shamburgers” which is a cheeseburger and “tea-aid” which is either iced tea or kool-aid whichever is in the fridge. And my 2 plays “ombies” (zombies) too. Damn call of duty black ops
I want shamburgers and tea-aid! Uh….hold the ombies though, I’m tryna cut down on those =]

My oldest will be 7 in three days, and still calls breakfast “breafaskt”. We’ve been trying for years to change it but she’s stuck to it! I secretly, or not-so-secretly now, hope she always eats breafaskt!
Twitter Name: Army_wife_jenn
Yes your secret is out….and you are not alone. I sometimes wish my children would never grow up, that they’d stay little and cute forever. But now they’re bigger they can get up and make me breakfaskt.
