Kid Quotes: So Many Good Things

2013_05_30_9999_49

My kids are great at saying clever and funny things when I need a laugh. Here are a few favorite recent kid quotes!

Seven-year-old Emma, on a day when she was being especially helpful:
Mama, why do you think I’m doing so many good things today?

Hoping the kids won’t wake up the baby…
Mama: Don’t sit next to Anna, because I don’t want her to wake up.
Lily (three years old, with her hair in two ponytails): It’s okay if my ponytails sit next to Anna, because my ponytails don’t talk.

Talking about the Boston Marathon:
Emma : Dada, can you run that far?
Dada: No. I need to practice first.
Emma: Yeah. That’s a long ways. It’s like running to the shed [in our yard] and back 100 times!

Pretend play – Lily (three years old) is making two small fairies talk to each other:
Fairy 1: Bonjour! Do you know what that means?
Fairy 2: No!
Fairy 1: It means hello! In Spanish!

Emma: Cleaning looks like it should be fun, but it actually isn’t.

Lily walks in wearing a shirt I haven’t seen her wear much:
Mama: I like that shirt. It’s cute!
Lily: That’s why I picked it. And because it was the only shirt I could find.

  1. I love what your kids say. And that Emma is so wise! Emma: Cleaning looks like it should be fun, but it actually isn’t. Oh yes. She gets it so young!

  2. Awwwww!! I love these quotes. Recently, my son has been saying, “You’re making my ear-balls hurt!” when something’s too loud (I’m guessing he got it from eyeballs, but it’s still hysterical to me)!

  3. So cute. They do say the funniest things. My kids had me laughing out loud. It’s so healthy – a good belly laugh.

    I just love kids.

    Thanks for sharing.

  4. So cute & funny! I love the stuff kids say. I’ll have to start writing the things my kids say down. I know they’ve said some great quotes and I laugh & think I’ll remember them forever but then they slip my mind and I forget

    These are fabulous! Love the idea of Lily’s ponytails sitting quietly next to Anna. :)

  6. They are cute. LOL about cleaning. Abby told me today she’d rather clean the toilets then fold the clothes. YUCK!
