My youngest daughter was like that... when she was about five....she looked out the window of our house and saw a skunk walking along the edge of the swamp.... she got very excited and promptly told me "let's catch it!"   

That sounds like my 3-1/2 yo DD.  She wants to do that all the time.    I'm always trying to give her perspective.      It's not always easy.   

Isn't it FUN, though?   

It sure is!   This same daughter, later on got into catching butterflies. She did it with such abandon and joy, that one day my husband was watching her out the window, chasing butterflies ... he sighed, then smiled and said "I want to be a Jayme!"        We all need to be more like that!

A few nights ago I gave my 3yo a cup of kool aid and she said "Watch this Mommy, I'm going to turn this into wine.  It's wine now."  LOL

I was kind of taken aback on how to explain to her that this was Jesus' miracle, not something anyone can do, but at the same time don't want to imply that miracles can't happen nowadays because they do... Anyway it was still funny.

Yesterday Mo was having a hard time understanding the difference between ugly and pretty so I got on the computer and looked up 'ugly dogs'  and came up with this video:

Then I looked up pretty dogs and got this:
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/765907/the_cutest_puppy_dogs_in_the_world/

After watching both video's... she turned to me and said, "Momma, don't pet ugly dogs."

And she has had NO problem distinguising between pretty and ugly since then. lol!

Most of you know that we feed "species-appropriate raw foods" to all our dogs (this means we feed real meat, bones, and organs, in their natural form).

Well, we usually buy this in the grocery store sections, so am always looking for good sales.  DD and I were checking different meat items and she saw a package of marrow bones.  Our local store doesn't usually package things like this, so she asked "What is that?"   I didn't think anything of it as I said, "Oh, those are dog bones."

She looked utterly horrified...  I was more than surprised by this strange reaction, as she is quite used to feeding our dogs raw meat and bones... and then she blurted out "REAL dog bones??"   

Still took me a moment - and then I realized she thought the store was selling actual dog bones - for human consumption!  I started to giggle, and all of a sudden she says "Oooooohh, I get it - these are for dogs..."

Scary story- I was watching to "ugly dog" video with my dd and as one of the hideous dogs flickered onto the screen she exclaimed "Oh! How cute!"     Needless to say, I'm slightly concerned.

[denim&lace]

Lol!  amy3j's... that cracked me up.

[amy3js]

Lol!  amy3j's... that cracked me up.

We are thinking about MAYBE getting a puppy, so she's actually making me kinda nervous here. Maybe we will just get one and surprise her, so we don't have to talk her out of anything weird and creepy. *shudder*

that's funny!! reminds me of a something....

A few years back someone gave us a lot of frozen meat that had been in the freezer way too long and was really freezer burnt.  So I was getting it out a little at a time and boiling it for the dogs (sorry I didn't know you're supposed to feed it to them raw  )
My brother came over with his new girlfriend one day to visit. We did live way back in the woods and I suppose she must have thought we were "hicks" or something.... I had some meat boiling on the stove for the dogs and mentioned to one of the children to "go turn that dog meat off I'm sure its cooked enough by now".... I turned around and saw a completely horrified look on her face!!!  I knew what she was thinking... I was laughing so hard it took me a few minutes before I could explain!! I laughed til I had tears running down my face... the look on her face was priceless!

My 6-year-old nephew, Jesse, has provided me with a lot of laughs lately.

Tonight, my sister and I were up talking when we heard a loud crashing noise followed by Jesse remarking sleepily "Oh noooo".

We raced up to his bedroom to find him dangling from the top bunk, in the narrow space between the railing and the wall, his head peeking up at the top, his feet hanging a couple feet above the ground and his blanket stuck halfway between. It took us several minutes to rescue him 'caus we were laughing so hard, and he was still half asleep 

The other day I discovered he had broken into my moneybox. He did not steal anything, but all the notes had been neatly folded into airplanes 

And my final Jesse funny of recent times, is that his dad gave him his old briefcase, and he has been carrying it around ever since. I couldn't help but laugh to see him in his little rugby shorts and knee socks, stuffing the briefcase full of fruit so he could take it to his "big game" and win with the help of "super healthy speed boost food".

He did, btw, get player of the match, so I guess the briefcase and speed boost food did their job   

kids are so fun!

[Monita]

These are all so funny!


Today, after eating a burger with seeds on the bun she found one of the seeds on her shirt  and said, "Mom I found a burger seed!  Now we can grow burgers!"  LOL!!!!

[khix]

The other day, we were all in our vehicle, going somewhere, and 2 of our kids asked us where we were going, and we replied our usual silly response, "Crazy!  We're going crazy!"

Our youngest daughter then shouted, "Yay!  Can we walk?"

 It's kinda a matter of WHO is driving when you're going crazy, isn't it?

[~esposita~]

Phinehas (4 yo ds) just broke a very nice pyrex dish of mine. He dropped it on the concrete porch. What was he doing? Carrying Tiger Tom (the cat) inside of it, pretending he (the cat) was dead, and taking him (the cat) away so people could see him. (I had to bite my cheek to keep from laughing as I told him that that was NOT what he should have been doing!)

After the glass was cleaned up, Phin was outside. He came running in and said to his Papa, "I just stepped on a piece of that broken glass that you missed!" Andrew said, "What did you do with the piece you stepped on." Phin's reply? "I put it back on the concrete!"

And then, later:
Phin came rushing in. "Mama, Mama! Papa is bringing the laundry in for you!"
"Wow!" I said. "He must love me!"
"Yeah, and I do too!"
"You love me?"
"No, I love Papa and Papa loves you!"

We used to go garage saling (sp?) all the time when the kids were younger and we had the time.  One time we picked up an old board game that I used to play when I was a kid called “Go To The Head Of The Class”.

In it were some question cards, so we all took turns quizzing each other on the trivia on the cards.  One of the questions was a fill-in-the-blank type and asked to fill in this sentence:

“Mary had a little __________”

Our youngest was about 6 at the time, and she immediately piped in and said:

“BABY JESUS!”

Not having spent any or much time reading any Mother Goose rhymes, we were so delighted to hear her immediate and very confident response, to which we all laughed and said “That’s right!!!”

She was beaming from ear to ear, as were we all!

Not that there’s anything wrong with Mother Goose, it’s just always great when the Bible has the bigger and lasting impact, and it’s no doubt every Christian parent’s  joy when their children's  responses indicate their heart is tuned to God and His Word, or that it is hidden in their heart.

 

[lovetoreadmom]

Adorable, TTY!  I agree.  Although I like Mother Goose, if substituting something from God's Word fits, all the better. 

Thanks for sharing!!
