I have already heard some cute and funny things kids have said in some of these posts. I would love to hear more. What are some of those moments when you just had to choke back laughter at some of the things kids have said in front of you?

There are times when I'm sitting at the kitchen table in the morning with my youngest brother(3) and him and I have some of our best conversations at this time during the day. One day I asked him.. 

Me: "How did you sleep?"
Brother: " I had a nightmare!"
Me: "Oh really?? what about?"
Brother: "an invisible dinosaur!"
Me: "Oh Noez! what did he do?"
Brother: "INVISIBLE STUFF!!"

I love how he is so "Matter O Fact" about stuff.. He's cute and he knows it too.. :)
 

My nephew, who just turned 2, walked out of his room at his house and gave his mom a hug. She bent over and hugged him back saying "Austin, you are my angel." He stopped looked up at her and said "Mommy, you're my Christmas tree!"  It was quite honestly the sweeting thing. It was nowhere near Christmas time so where he even thought to say that we have no idea.

That's really cute. Maybe he likes to stand on her head like an angel atop a Christmas tree. My sister used to love standing on my head until she got heavy enough that it wasn't a good idea anymore. Then she was happy to climb all over me like a jungle gym or jump on my tummy like a trampoline.

Jack was telling some friends about how rowdy his big dog is, and how she gets so excited she jumps up on him. One of the adults asked if he couldn't train her not to do that. He replied that he couldn't because she's "uncontrainable."

Jack needed a new pair of sunglasses, and because he's been so good lately, I sprung for the Transformers shades with the flip-down target lens. He is thrilled and, for today at least, I am the coolest mommy any six-year-old boy could ever hope to have. This morning, he insisted that the sunglasses be the foundation for his sartorial selection, which meant he had to wear his favorite "cool" jeans and his favorite "cool" long-sleeved T-shirt--even though it'll be 90 and humid today.

Once his look was all together and we were on our way to school, Jack gave his dad a high five, and his dad gave him a thumbs up. In response, Jack struck a "cool" pose with a vicious, cold-blooded sneer and his own thumb up, and then asked quietly "Do I have to leave my thumb up all day?"

My niece had a standard reply. If asked "Did you knock over this vase?" or "Did you put the washcloth in the toilet?" she would answer, "No, it did it all by itself."

Here is a funny email I just received and I believe it because my kids have said similar. It is so funny at the time, yet so true:

TEACHER:   Maria, go to the map and find North America.
MARIA:       Here it is.
TEACHER:  Correct. Now class, who discovered America?
CLASS:        Maria.

 I LOVE IT!

I especially love that last one. I'll never forget when my old roommate was a teaching intern. He came home one day and asked if it was a bad sign that he actually started nodding off during his own lecture. I said, well if you can bore even yourself to sleep, you're going to be a GREAT teacher.
