Another proud moment in the Saff household.
Getting the order forms ready for canteen the following day, and Miss 6 asks for 2 bags of popcorn instead of 1. I'm thinking...."hmmm...that's a bit greedy...." and ask her why she needs 2.
She says "Because Mattie is going on an excursion tomorrow and he won't get one, so I want to bring one home for him!"

As requested by AJ I am bumping this thread with some silly stories of my boys.

So my boys are always wearing t-shirts with super hero's on them or sports etc. and they decided that whichever shirt they are wearing that day, they ARE that guy! So we were getting out of the car and I said "Ok come on guys." and my 2 year old says "No mom, you're posed to say 'Come on Buzz Light Year (the shirt his brother was wearing) and...'" at this point he looks down at his shirt. He was wearing a plain blue shirt that day so he says "...and blue guy." Lol

And another 1 from my 2 year old. (What can I say 2 year olds are cute) So I come in from the garage where I was changing the laundry loads and I see my son getting into the peanutbutter jar with peanutbutter all over his face. So I asked him "Who said you could have peanutbutter?!" and he tells me "Daddy!" and I knew his daddy would not have said that so I said "He did not!" and he says "Well....he saw me and he didn't get mad...so I can have some!" Perfect logic right?! lol

Ok so my 2 yr old and 4 yr old were playing in the backyard and my 2 yr old had a toy dinosaur that he kept throwing against the fence. My 4 yr old had a plastic slinky in his hands and every time my 2 yr old would throw the dinosaur against the fence my 4 yr old would stretch the slinky out and say "Waa waa waaaaaaaa". Like the sound you make when someone 'loses'? Lol it cracked ME up anyway.

So my 8 year old is in Boy Scouts and all this week he is going to a Day Camp. Well they do a bunch of different activities at the Day Camp, including Archery and shooting a BB gun etc. Well the day that I was there to help out he did this thing called the board walk where 3 of the boys would stand on 2 long boards with straps for their feet and ropes to hold onto and they all had to work together to get the boards moving and "walk" to the other side. So it was my sons teams turn and they got on and it was kind of slow going because on his team was the little autistic boy, but they finally made it across. So later in the car I was talking about the day and he said "Yeah but it was SO slow on the board walk." and I told him it was because it wasn't so easy for ___ because he is autistic. So he says "You mean it was hard for him just cause he likes to draw and paint?!" Lol So then I had to explain autism!

In the spirit of keeping this thread going.....here's a good one!

I was giving my almost two year old a bath tonight and he's being silly as usual (oh and a little background before the story gets started, his name is Kaspar and he calls himself Bapper)...The tub at my parents' house is an old clawfoot with its original chrome plumbing, and the faucet can get pretty hot so I'm always warning him not to touch it. Anyway, he backed up into it and touched the faucet to his back (it wasn't hot this time) and he said "Uh oh, very hot a little Bappers!" He saw his reflection in the two sides of the faucet, so the little Bappers were very hot!

LOL I just had to giggle at that one

so i dont have any kid stories... but i have to say this thread is awesome! thanks for sharing!

Little Bappers has been coming out with all kinds of things lately...I don't really have any one specific story, but he says some hilarious things.

All this week, he's been remembering the one time in the summer that he got to ride on a quad for about 2 minutes...and he keeps saying "Have fun a-Jay on da quaaaaad...is it scary?" And then I have to ask him "Ohh, was it scary, Kaspar?" and he says "Uh-huh" And that's the conversation.

Yesterday, we were driving behind a cyclist who had the oddest form on his bike, and I said "Jeez that guy looks like a goof on his bike!" and Kaspar says "Guy a goooof! On da bike da guy a gooof!" Haha.

And then he's always a great one to give me instructions on how to get his breakfast/any meal ready. Say for breakfast, I pull out a box of cereal...
Kaspar: "Have a bowl?"
Me: "Yep, I'll get you a bowl for your cereal...just a second"
Kaspar: "Just a second....maybe some milk?"
Me: *laughs* "Yes, should we get some milk, Kaspar?"
Kaspar: "Uh-huh....and a foon?" (spoon)
Me: "Yep, and a spoon...okay lets go sit in your chair"
Kaspar: "Sitta mum's chair?"
Me: "Nooo sit on Kaspar's chair"
Kaspar: "Sitta Bapper's chair da cereal and da foon"

My 3 year old told me to guess what he wants to be when he grows up the other day. Now every other time we have talked about this it has been a football player so naturally the first thing I say is that. "Nope" he says. So I guess soccer player? "Nope" baseball player "Nope" so finally I say "Ok I give up what?" and he says "Yoda!" what an aspiration! lol I guess he doesn't have to grow much more that way though! lol

We often play word games in the car on the way to and from school (to keep them distracted and therefore not bickering....)
Recently, it was a spelling game - we were coming up with harder and harder words for someone else to spell. I asked Mr 8 (whose name is Matthew) to spell 'onomatopoiea'.

He suddenly starts giggling and can't stop.
Me: "What's so funny"
Miss 11 (Justine) joins in - apparently this word is the funniest word in the English language.
I am perplexed, until she explains:

Onomatapoiea:
Oh No! Matt-a Pee-a!! You know, like - Oh No! Juss-a Fart-a!

Tonight I was putting Kaspar to bed and he was taking a sip of his water cup. He was talking about one of the girls at his daycare, F:

Kaspar: F has some water!
Me: Ohh really? That's pretty cool.
Kaspar: Bapper has booze.
Me: What?! Kaspar doesn't have booze in his cup!
Kaspar: Grandpa has booze.

*sigh*

I hope he's not telling his daycare teachers that he has booze in his cup!

Sooo.... this is a mahoosive bump - but I have to share with you a great conversation I had with my son today (who sadly is incapacitated at the moment with a broken leg - in two places no less ).

We were doing some art and craft this afternoon when he advised me that it is very unlikely that anyone could draw a perfect circle (bear in mind that he is only seven). I agreed and asked him what instrument he could use to make a perfect circle.

He thought about this for a couple of seconds and proudly said "I know, a tamborine!"

Altogether now..... Awwwwwwwww!!!!!!

When I gave him the answer - he then told me off... he said I should have been more specific (seriously ).

That put me straight then - lol.

Hehe thanks for the bump of this thread, TF! I had forgotten about it...and a tambourine would make a very interesting circle! :)

K and I went camping last weekend and we were playing at a playground...K has been right into the characters from a kind of comedic heavy metal band, GWAR (which my brothers are into, and introduced K to) and he's always pretending to be these characters. I think he kind of thinks that they are Transformers.

So anyway, he's running around the jungle gym going "I'm Oderus!!!!" and the other kids are looking at him like he's gone slightly mad. Then he says it to a girl little girl,

"I'm Oderus!!!" and she says to him
"No! I'm olderest, I'm five...you're little!"
"I'm Oderus!"
"I'm olderest!"
"No, I'm Oderus, you're Beefcake!"
"Hmm...okay, I'll be a piece of cake...I will be chocolate cake"
"Yeah! I'm Oderus, you're Beefcake!"

So that dilemma has been apparently solved...and he's still running around doing the same thing. Runs up to a mom and her little 18 month old baby and says the same thing, "I'm Oderus!!" and she says "Oh, hi Boris :)"

lol...I was wondering what kind of parent in this day and age might name their child Boris...but hey, I'm sure she was too!
