One of the benefits of having kids is that you never lack interesting stories and funny sayings. There’s always something funny or interesting to chuckle about everyday. Life is never dull with children. Here are some examples from our home:

Alternative Medicine:

Mom: “My tummy hurts.”

3.5 yr old: “I’ll kiss your tummy mommy.”

Non Sequitur:

Mom: “Mommy is tired.”

2.5 yr old: “Do you want to pee, mama?”

Apologizing to oneself:

Mom to 3.5 yr old son: “Son, you need to apologize to your sister for hurting her. Now, repeat after me. I’m sorry for hurting you.  Will you forgive me?”

Before the the guilty party can answer, the offended one (2.5 yr old) starts repeating the apology.

Finding a wife the easy way:

5.5 yr old: “When I grow up, I’m going to be a daddy.”

Dad:  “Son, before you can be a daddy, we will pray that God gives you a wife to marry.”

5.5 yr old:  “Why? I have Emmie and Calissa (his sisters).  I can marry Calissa and Andrew can marry Emmie.  I don’t want to marry someone else.”
