Funny Kid Quotes
December 10, 2008
I really should have done this a long time ago. Julie and I have both written some funny things down in multiple places that the kids have said, but I need to find those lists and get them all consolidated in one place, here on this blog. So this will serve as my collection place for funny sayings and I’ll just add to this post as new funny things are said. So here are a few starter kid quotes. If any of you have any funny things the kids have said to you, please add it here in a comment and I’ll merge it in with these sayings.
NEW!!!
Eden, December 2008 – Logan was getting a little mouthy with Julie one day. Eden ran up and said “You need to respect Mom, Logan.” Except it sounded more like “You need to wespet Mom, Logan.” He walked off and Eden looks up at Julie and says “Seriously, Mom, he needs to wespet you.”
Logan, November 2008 – Logan was having a talk with Grammy and Gramps who were visiting from Texas. Grammy said something Logan didn’t believe. Grammy told him “Ask your dad”, to which Logan replied “OK I will – wait – he lies a LOT!” Hmm – he thinks he’s figured me out. I don’t really LIE. I just like to have fun with the answers. I subscribe to the “Calvin’s Dad School of Question Answering”. You can find some awesome examples here and here.
Soren, November 2008 – We were playing Scattergories and the letter was P. One item was Summer Activity. As we’re all working on our list, he suddenly says “ahh man, I wish the letter was S. Then for Summer Activity I could put Sacrificing Chickens.” We were rolling and could barely finish. When we finally finished and were reading our lists, when it came to Summer Activity, he proudly said “PERSECUTING chickens!” Don’t ask me. I have NO IDEA where he pulled that from.
Logan, October 2008 – Just sitting at the bar eating breakfast and matter of factly said “Hey Mom…I want you to change my birthday, OK?”
Eden, January 2008 – Upon seeing Julie in some pants she’d not been able to wear while pregnant with the twins. “Wow! New pants, Mom!”
Peyton, November 2004 – While we sat in an IHOP in Anaheim having breakfast waiting for Disneyland to open. Our waiter was speaking to us in his thick Mexican accent. Peyton, stared at him intently while he was talking to us, then suddenly said “Uhh, we speak English!”
Soren, more than once, random bathrooms, usually in a restaurant, when someone in a stall is having a “rough” time. “Dad, what’s that noise? Is that a monster, dad? Dad, I think there’s a monster in here. Ooh, dad, what’s that smell? It’s making my tummy sick dad.”

These are darling Derek. One that stands out to me was when I sent Megan to her room for misbehaving and telling her that she was not allowed to have any fun if she had to act that way. I then got involved doing something that made me totally forget that she had been sent to her room. About an hour later she called out of her room and asked, “Mom – do you think I should come out now, because I’m really having a lot of fun back here”. That is one that I will never forget.

Oh my gosh as soon as I posted that one I thought of another Megan “classic”.
She was extremely upset after finding a dead bird on the ground. I quickly saw this as a teaching moment, ran for the “glove” and proceeded to teach Megan about the body and the spirit and how they would someday be reunited through the power of the ressurection. After what I’m sure was a rather long winded explanation I looked into her eyes and asked, “Megan – do you understand what I just taught you?” She looked back at me and said, “Yeah…..but Mom……he’s still dead”.

Mom, I think you’re supposed to leave quotes that DEREK’S kids have said, not YOUR kids! However, I am proud to know that when you think of funny child moments/quotes, both of your immediate thoughts on the subject are about ME! You’re welcome!:)

Those are hilarious. I think Sorens is my favorite. That is a good idea to write all those things down. I always think I’ll remember them and can write it down later, but that never happens and soon they are forgotten. Thanks for sharing, keep them coming.
