Kevin's Watch

What funny or hearwarming thing has your (ou your relative's or friend's) child said?!


I'll start. When my daughter was three years old she was sitting on a couch playing with her dolly. As I am on the couch, my wife walking across the floor we hear our angelic daughter say "f*cking kid!" to her dolly!!

My wife stopped in mid stride. I looked over to my daughter. "What did you say princess?", I asked. "F*cking kid, my dolly is being bad", Caitlin said. I asked, "Where did you hear that word?" "MOMMY says it when I am bad.", Caitlin answered. At that my 'frozen' wife's jaw dropped!!

My wife said she thought she was muttering under her breath and couldn't be heard! I explained to my daughter that what mommy said was a BAD word and she (and mommy) shouldn't use it any more. My sweet angelic daughter didn't ... as to my wife ....

I've always found lids funny...the one on the can of lard! Most amusing!

I went to pick up a lid once, but only brought enough money for a dime......wait, that wasn't funny.....

...yes it was: I was thinking along those same lines but thought it wise not to write it down!

then there are those lids on the big plastic garbage cans that you can't get on or get them to stay on? those are funny....

i ran into a funny lid last night. campbells chunky chicken microwavable.

the weirdest lid. you have to PINCH it to get it off! and it has HOLES in it!

lids. i swear. they can be so funny.

It wasn't like 4 years old, was it Luci? Cause... that wold be bad... the chicken tastes funny, and is kind of dry...

....but apparently has no negative effects.

OK! OK!!! I corrected the spelling!! You guys!!!

SEE!!! I am not the ONLY misspeller!!!

You know this is a rough crowd.....

My daughter (when she was an infant) used to fall asleep on the dog (110 pound lab/shep mix) all the time. You'd hear this big doggie sigh, he'd adjust himself so her head was in the soft spot behind his ribs and ahead of his haunches. They'd stay like that for hours.

It's the family story that the dog taught her to walk. She'd wake up and start moving around, he'd take that as his signal to move, she'd grab a double handful of his hair and he'd drag her around. Eventually, she got sick of being dragged and started walking along with him.

Awwww, that is soooo sweet. Have any pics to post?

I'll have to scan some. They're the old-fashoned film pictures.

Please do, I bet they are adorable!!

I posted this in another thread but it belongs here I think.

I like to sing songs to my kids and end each sentence with a "raspberry noise" or replace a key word in the song with that noise.
My 7 year old daughter just shakes her head and seems partially disgusted.
My son, Tyler , almost 4, never really seemed to care too much.
But the last week he was giving raspberries to everything, the cat, the dog, people we passed while driving in the car.....
Yesterday he asks me in his sweet as an angel voice: "Knock knock"
I say: "Who's there?"
He then fires off a *raspberry* with perfect timing!!!
The boy is a genius!!!


And my daughter read me a book about sharks the other night.
The last few pages of the book cautioned that sharks were in trouble because of the evils of mankind.
My angelic future PETA president daughter looks at me and asks "Daddy, don't you think we should do something to help the sharks?"
And I looked into her sweet innocent eyes and said......"Let them all die."
Needless to say she didn't calm down and go to sleep for a good twenty minutes.

HA! That's great! You should've put on a Robert Shaw accent and spewed out one of his anti-shark monologues from Jaws!

pft.

i was really liking the lid stories.

Uhhhhhh.....One time my daughter used a trash can lid to sled down a hill.

Howzat?

Lid story, eh? Well, one time I lifted a trash lid to dump a trash bag into it and there must have been 100s of little white larve on the lid squigglying away. Well needless to say I dropped it awkwardly on the ground and then the dog...

Oh wait...kid stories...well, hmm, thing is, these little dancing fellas had on tiny colorful hats and, and little noise maker things and yelled "Happy Birthday", so we had milk and cake...

yeah! yeah! lid stories!!!

we ALways used trash can lids for sleds in the trailer park.

and sometimes the hoods of cars from the dump right next to the trailer park. hoods of cars are kindof lids aren't they? engine lids.

and one christmas, in the trailer park, when we were kids, my dad made us all hats from pickle bucket lids with strings tied under our chins and told us we were chinese and all the kids in the trailer park ran around in those pickle bucket lid hats screaming "ah so, ah so!!"

i tell ya, we didn't have much in the trailer park, but we had lids.
