One morning, my son put too much toilet paper in the toilet. When he flushed, it overflowed onto the floor. As my husband and I rushed to clean it up, my son saw the water spilling forth and said, “That water is SURE not refreshing.”

I took my son for a checkup. The doctor checked his ears, eyes, etc. That night, he asked, “Mommy, when the doctor puts that thing in your ear to look inside to see if everything is OK, can they see your imagination?”

My kids attended a child safety class put on by the Sheriff’s Department. The deputy asked the kids, “When you dial
9-1-1, who do you think answers the phone?” My 7-year-old raised his hand and guessed, “The person who’s closest to the phone?”

My 5-year-old daughter and I were watching Gems TV, and I made a comment about how pretty an emerald ring was – but mentioned that it was too expensive. Casey just smiled and said, “Mommy, I love you. I’ll buy it for you if you get me a job!”

Ryan and I were discussing how many mommies change their last name when they get married. He was fascinated by this and asked me what my last name used to be. I told him. He thought for a moment, then said, “Well, what was your first name before you got married?”

My sister was watching my daughter, Kristin, and was making her some cinnamon toast. Kristin told her she could not eat the toast because she was “toast intolerant.” This was after hearing us discussing her being “lactose intolerant.”

I am potty training my 2-year-old, and I bought her Dora PULL-UPS. She said,  “I can’t pee on Dora. She’ll cry.”

My husband went grocery shopping with our son, Gabriel, and he put him in one of those plastic ride-in cars attached to a grocery cart. In one aisle, they came up next to another father with his son in a “car.” Both boys looked at each other, and my son asked the other boy if he “wanted to race.” My husband moved on past them, and the other boy shouted, “Hey, you ran the red light!” So my son turned around and yelled at the top of his lungs, “Well, why don’t you get off your cell phone and drive!”

My son was asleep on my bed. When I carefully tried to carry him to his bed, he woke up and said, "Why did you wake me up? Now I have to start all over.”
