All of these Andrea Yeates and child molestation threads are starting to depress me. I thought we could change the pace here a little. To all parents on the board, please indulge us with up-lifting stories about your child / children. ( if you don’t have any children, pet stories would be great. ) Mine is from last night, My daughter ( 3 ½) and I were going through a book about the solar system. I trying to teach her about the planets and such. We go over them one by one, the name of the planet and where it’s located from the sun. ( she really doesn’t understand the concept of planets, their just a bunch of colored balls to her. ) This went on for about twenty minutes and she decided she wanted to move to Pluto. I kept trying to explain all the reasons she couldn’t live there, to far, cold, etc. etc. She didn’t want to hear it, we argued until I finally agreed that she could live there. ( you should of heard us ) I love my kids !!!!
One time, my sister sucked our pet hamster into the vacuum cleaner... What's that mom?? Dinner's ready?? OK, I'll be there in a --(WHOOMP!) My other sister overfed our goldfish and killed it... I'm not sure if I want to have any kids...If I DO have kids, I'm not letting either of my sisters babysit...
My mother in law suffered a Gran Mol seizure when my son was about 5 (15 years ago). He asked if only women had seizures. When I told him that men did too he asked, "If a man has one is it called a Gran Pa seizure"?
My wife is a stay at home Mom, and every Tuesday and Thursday I take my 3 year old son to "mom's day out" classes. There is a hill just above the shool, and one day we decided to hold hands and ZOOM down the hill and pretend we are about to fall. It has now become a tradition to go ZOOMING down the hill and pretending that we are about to fall. It is my favorite time of the week, well one of many really !!! DaDakota
No, she said her uncle Rocpaint lived there and he must have must have been stuck deep in the bowels, because she hasn't seen him for along time
Parents will know that diapers can't always hold all the crap kids can put out. I had my 1 year old daughter with me at 7-11 and put her on the counter while I paid. You guessed it. She had an enormous crap and it came out the leg holes. You should have seen the look on the pimply 17 year old male clerk's face. I thought he was going to faint.
My kids are big smart aleks (but in a good way). We were watching Friends one night, and I mentioned (for no particular reason) that Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt. My eight year-old son Preston replied "THE BRAD PITT?". I said, "Yeah", and he then said "Who is THE Brad Pitt?" He's pretty much like that all the time.
My two year old son proclaimed, "I love daddy!" for the first time two nights ago!!! i melted...absolutely amazing! He's hilarious...we say a little prayer every night before he goes to bed...after we say, "amen", he says, "heyyyyy" everytime...I have no idea what it means, but it's hilarious!!! He loves to dance...loves to sing along with songs on the radio, hitting the few words he knows...He hits the "me" in This is How you Remind Me every time! I'm glad you posted this Samurai... DaDakota...what a great story!! thanks for sharing it!!!
Dayum, that's hilarious. My niece was staying with my sister and Dad in a hotel room in San Francisco when she was 3. My Dad had a business meeting one morning, so he woke up well before they did. He showered, and then went to blowdry his hair...or lack thereof. Right before he turns it on, Mallory says, "this shouldn't take long". Thinking my sister put her up to it, my Dad went out into the room only to find her asleep. Of course, I guess I would find this story even funnier if it was my own child since I can't really have feelings towards children that aren't mine.
Rocketman95, I apologize if I offended you , of course all stories about children are welcome, and I know you can have feelings and love a child that is not yours. But I guarantee there is a difference when the child is your own. p.s. your story was great !
RM95 is mad at me because I told him that having kids changes your perspective, and since he is not part of our club, that he can't FULLY understand. Now, on for another story. My wife's brother & his girlfriend were watching my 3 year old one night and playing blocks when all of the sudden he stood up and looked at her and said " do you have a penis too?" We had to have a talk about penisis that night...and how they are sort of private.....but dang I laughed hard that night !! DaDakota
That's funny, My daughter calls it a peanut ( sounds like penis I guess ) You should of seen the look on her face when I took the can of Planters off the counter and asked her... " do you want some peanuts " ...... Priceless ! She use to want to be like daddy so much, she refused to sit down to go pee. She would just stand there, pretending to hold something and make a mess. She was very upset when she realized she couldn't do it. Bless her heart. Ok...Ok... I promise that was the last story from me
My wife was picking up my 9 year old son from school, and had this conversation: Wife: "How was school today?" Son (looking serious): "Well, if I tell you, promise you won't get mad at me?" Wife (now concerned): "What happened?" Son (looking even more serious): "Are you sure you won't get mad at me?" Wife (now petrified): "Jackson, just tell me what happened at school today!!!!!" Son (reluctantly): Well, we had a substitute teacher today, and he was a real PAIN IN THE ASS!" ***** I showed my son, a budding catcher, a newpaper article titled "Catcher's Clinic at Strake." After studying the headline briefly, he said with some concern in his voice, "Is this where I go when I get hurt catching?" ***** Don't tempt me, I have many more.
When my 18-YO son was about 2, he was learning to pee like a big boy. We were dining in this quiet little restaurant and he had to go AGAIN. I led him to the bathroom, got him prepped, pointed him in the direction of the kiddie urinal ... and slowly backed away. I thought this an opportunity to inculcate some independence. I told him that I was going to wait outside-- meaning outside the bathroom door. He whirled around, looking at me wide-eyed and unbelieving he said, "You mean OUT where the trees are!" Maybe you had to be there to see the expression on his face but it is one of the most cherished moments of parenting that I've had.
i have this cat....his name is sarah. ya it's a he. he's a funny cat. btw it sounds like you guys all have the most awesome kids ever.
