I thought, hmmm, Mr. Caligulette might have some explaining to do....

Turns out Caligukid picked it up from 101 Dalmations.....

I went to law school with a woman who had a five-year-old son. (Kid's in college now. Christ, I'm old.) A bunch of us were at her apartment one night celebrating the end of final exams, and the boy was enjoying being the center of attention. At one point he started a wrestling match with his mother, which ended with kid on the couch and his mom lying on top of him.

The boy cried out, "I CAN TASTE MY SPLEEN!" When the laughter died down we found out that he got the line from an episode of Married with Children.

Kiddo: Mama let's play hide and seek
Me: Okay, I'll count and you go hide
Kiddo: No you have to hide with me
Me: If we both hide who will come find us?
Kiddo: Cade! That's a joke.



Not only am I astounded that these full sentence conversations take place with a 27 month old, I don't know where he comes up with some of his phrases and so am confused as well... "that's a joke"? Where did that come from?

[Ensign Steve]

indeed. Your kid is so weird. I can't imagine where he gets it.

This thread brings back memories when little plant was a child, and the cute things she would do.

From a deodorant TV ad:
One day I was outside working hard digging in the garden, my then 3 or 4 year old (sorry can't remember which exactly) looked at me and in all seriousness said, "Never let them see you sweat."

Another time I remember is the time she was climbing on this large granite boulder we had in the garden (a deposit from the last glacier). She slid off of it and landed hard on her butt. The words, oh shit, came out of her mouth. Surprised, I asked her, "What did you say, young lady?"

"Never mind, mommy" she said in a matter of fact tone of voice and went back to her business of playing.

I'm not sure where she picked up on those words, but the way she answered back like she was the grownup and I was the kid, made me laugh.

[SharonDee]

"Never mind, mommy" is so cute! I remember when my girl tried that one.

Ah, babies ... how they do grow ...

[Caligulette]

He says: I have magic powers, Mom, do you want to see my magic powers?
I say:Okay.
He covers his eyes and says: Ta Da!
I say: Are you invisible?
He says: No- my eyes are invisible! And look- look!
I say: What?
He lifts his shirt, presents his belly button, covers it with his fingers and says: My belly button is also invisible! Maaaaagiiiic!

Tiggerdammit! I AM at work! Leave me alone already!

We are big into offering Kiddo choices...so last night he says "Mom, you lay down with me. That's your choices" I guess he doesn't quite get how to offer choices yet.

That, or you've birthed a Republican.

When Daughter was three, we were planning a weekend trip to Granny's. She was helping me empty the suitcase when she grabbed a couple of tampons from one of its side pockets.

"Here, Mom," she said as she tossed them to me. "I found your butt plugs."

[Plant Woman]

They grow up too, too fast.

Today, Kiddo started yelling for Daddy in a panicked voice, so hubby rushed to see the problem. Kiddo wails "My baby's head is all sticky!!!".

Yes, the crisis was jelly on his Cabbage Patch Kid's head.

Caligukid: Mooom- why are they having wars if war is not the answer?
Me: Well, some people think war is the answer. They're wrong, though.
Caligukid: Well, I'm pretending Doctor Who is the answer.

[Qingdai]

Heh! Glad to see he's found an answer.

Qingdai jr. "Ice cream is good for me."

A central tenant of my wife's life philosophy.

That and Smilin Jr's thoughts on Chocolate milk.

Came in this weekend when he was mixing up a glass, and I had to comment:

Would you like a little milk to go with all your chocolate?

He does seem to fix a lot of muck-ups. Maybe when his contract with the SciFi Channel is up, we should give him a call on the behalf of the governments of the world. I get a free TARDIS ride first, though, for having come up with the idea more definitively than junior.

Kiddo got some useful gadget out of the kitchen. I told him when he was done playing with it, he had to put it back (rather than add it to his mysterious collection of items in his firetruck). So he was done playing and sure enough went to put it in the firetruck.

Me: Please put that back in the kitchen drawer, like I asked.
Kiddo: No. I think I'll put on my (sun)glasses and dance

Words to live by

[LadyShea]

We had thunderstorms this weekend so last night Kiddo says "The thunder makes the lightning"

Daddy: "No, the lightning makes the thunder"

Kiddo: "That's right, Daddy. Good job"

Wise beyond his years.
