Quite Weird Stuff My Kids Say

By Sandi | July 21, 2010

The girls are at the age when they’ve worked so hard to master language, and by golly, they’re going to start using it!!! However, they don’t always do so correctly. Every kid does this, I know, but it’s also why we spend so much time laughing at our house. Well, one of the reasons….

Just before bedtime:

Morgan: “Daddy, Morgan’s back is sleepy.”
Daddy: “Oh it is?”
Morgan: “Yes, Daddy! See?” (She proceeds to back up to Daddy so he can see her back.)
Daddy: “Oh. Is your head sleepy?”
Morgan: (Her faces shows she realizes where this conversation is headed.) “No! My head’s NOT sleepy! NO!”

At Dinner:

Morgan: “Mommy! Morgan tickle, tickle beans! Tickle, tickle, tickle!”
Mommy: “Ohhhhh…..okay…..?”

Playtime:

Hannah: “Mommy!” (pointing) “Mommy’s boobie!”
Mommy: “Yes, Hannah. Where’s your blocks?”
Hannah: “No!” (pulls up her shirt and points) “Hannah’s boobie!”
Mommy: “Yes, I know. Do you want your blocks?”
Hannah: “No!” (picks up a doll) “Where baby’s boobie go?”
Mommy: “I don’t know, Hannah. Where did it go?”
Hannah: (deep sigh while shaking head)  “I don’t know, Mommy. I don’t know.”

I’d throw something in that Captain Stinky has said, but a) he’s grown out of that stage and into the smart-mouthed tweenager stage (unfortunately), and b) he thinks he’s above that sort of thing now. However! He’s going to a British soccer camp this week, and his coach is from London. After spending time with this guy, Captain Stinky keeps walking around saying “quite” all the time. “I’d quite like that, Mom.” “That’s quite unfortunate.” “I quite disagree.” It’s hard not to laugh, but I know if I pointed it out, a) it would stop and I think it’s funny, and b) he’d be “quite” embarrassed.

    I was horrified when the Navy Bean and I were blowing bubbles and she would scream “DIE!” each time she popped one. I thought it was something her brother taught her, but I soon realized it was her version of “got it!” It’s still not clear, but better than it was.
