My DS drew a picture of himself & me at school.
The photo had two circles on the chest. HUM. The teacher & I were anxious to find out what the circle were.
He told me (as he reached in my shirt...) "those are your private things ...brats." Or does he mean BREAST? lol

The was ready to pee my pants laughing. My face had to be bright red.

"Even the worst day with my children is better than a good day at work."

We have a parakeet that dh HATES! DESPISES! LOATHES! Dh cannot stand the constant chatter and mess. I don't even notice when the thing starts squawking.

Anyway, a few years ago, dh jokingly said that when the parakeet dies, we are going to Chucky Cheese...to celebrate. "Ddddaaaddd, that's so mean!"

A few weeks later, at the kids dental appointment, dd's dental hygienist asked her if she had any pets. Erin's reply, "Yes, we have a parakeet. And Daddy said that if we let him kill it, he will take us to Chucky Cheese!" The look on the hygienists face was priceless! I wanted to crawl in a hole. However, on the way home in the van, I laughed until I cried!

OK, if Cheyanne wasn't a blonde.....we'd have to dye her hair, no joke!

This morning, Chey & Dak are burning rubber out of the driveway, heading to school on their BIKES, ok? They're out in the street, 1/2 way to the corner, pumping fast bcz they're running behind. Chey, turns her head, hollers over her shoulder to her dad, "SO, ARE WE GOING TO WALK HOME TODAY?".

DH recovers faster than I would have, and hollers back, "Cheyanne, how are you getting TO school?!".

"OH, YAA..."

OMG, I swear, that girl... I, SERIOUSLY, wonder how she's going to make it through life! LOL LOL LOL.

Thank God it was DH outside this morning, I would still be standing there, rooted to the same spot, still shaking my head at her...wondering which MD I should call.

Girls & Guys, this single act of "DUH!" is the norm for Chey, LOL. I could probably post something shocking everyday. She HAS to be the FUNNIEST daughter on the planet. I seldom answer her when something "falls outta her mouth"...I usually hitch an eyebrow at her and she'll stop a second and say, "Ohhhh!, that was funny!".
Um, yaa...Durr!


She's all mine....all of you will have to find yer own hysterically blonde daughters, LOL. Never a dull moment....

the one that jumps to mind is when we walked out of a lavatory and the kids explained to their dad who was of course surrounded by a crowd of men,
"mummy put a little nappy in her knickers".

i hated them then!

Nikki, my list is so long that you need to go make yourself one of those perfect cups of coffee and prop your feet up to read it! Here's the top three that pop into my head:

1. In the middle of Target, one dd shouts to the other, "Did you know that diarhea is when you get the squirts!?" I could hear people laughing several aisles over.

2. Or how about the time I had to call the service manager for our neighborhood when I discovered my children LITERALLY swinging from the chandelier in the dining room of our less-than-a-month old new house. They'd pulled it out of the ceiling and it was hanging by the wires. I'm sure he walked out of this house thinking, "they're gonna be a problem."

3. The countless times my nursing children exposed me in public and then laughed about it! One dd loved to play peek-a-boo with the blanket covering her. Good thing I was not real modest to begin with, right?!LOL Heck, at this point, if I had those nursing breasts back, I'd probably show 'em off myself! ROFLMBO

I still am nervous around one of my son's first grade teacher. They had to write a paragraph about what they do in the morning to get ready for school. The whole point was to learn about transitions - first, next, then.

Well, my little darling spent a lot of time writing about how mommy yells. Yells for them to brush their teeth, make their beds, and comb their hair. Gosh, I wanted to die when she said, "I hear you yell alot!" She's an awesome lady and a mom, so she knows what some mornings a like but really. Do you want the whole world to know you yell?

When my children were in elementary school I was the volunteer mom who lived at the school so much that they actually hired me on there. Okay so you get the point that I knew all the staff really well and they knew us really well.

When Tim was in 4th grade his teacher asked the kids to tell the class something about their family. Tim stood up and told the class that my dh was an alcoholic and drank beer all the time. He said he always had a can of beer open and started drinking right away in the morning.

The teacher of course went and shared this with the principal and other staff. I noticed I was being treated oddly that day. Finally, the principal called me into his office and we had a long serious talk. It took a lot of convincing on my part to get them to realize that my son was wrong. I was offered all kinds of help with the situation. But I assured them that there was no problem and that my dh and I really didn't drink. We had actually removed all the liquor from our home to set a good example for our kids by not drinking.

What Tim was seeing was one of those darn foam cuffs that you put around your pop can to keep it cold. Unfortunately, my dh used a Budweiser one!!!!!

I love hearing their versions of their childhood memories!!

These are so funny!! I've loved reading your responses.

Here's mine: took the trio to a regular physical appt at age 6. I'm an MD, which I think makes all such interactions a bit weird anyway. This is about the age when the doc starts asking kids directly how they feel and what they want, etc. So the nice doctor asks kid 1 what she likes to do and she says dance, ice skate, etc. Kid 2 responds chess, reading, bike riding. When kid 3 is asked, he smiles brightly and says "I like to play poker for money!!"

Yep -- we'd taught them Texas Hold Em, along with chess, checkers, tic tac toe, candyland, pictionary, etc. But why did he have to say it to the pediatrician??

This was actually my niece who did this one. My twin sister and I were shopping with her then 2 year old daughter. We were in a dressing room trying on clothes and my niece was going through my purse on the floor. She grabbed a tampon out of my bag and very loudly shouted "for your butt!" All of the store clerks burst out laughing, and I told my sister she better work on that one before her daughter gets her period.

Bella, who is a type 1 diabetic, was sitting in a cafe with her sisters and I having a snack while we were shopping one day...

Now - there are a LOT of business people here working on computers, having small meetings, etc.... It's nice an quiet, and my kido's are being angels!

Out of nowhere (well after she had eaten her snack) Bella looks at me and says "WOW mommy, I think I'm REALLY high!"

Hahah.... of course she was talking aobut her blood sugar but it just sounded SO bad - what a horrible parent those people must have thought I was!!! haha..... I'm suprised someone didn't call DSS.... It was so embarasing!

I've since taught her to say "I think my BLOOD SUGAR is high..."

My kids call lollipops/suckers "lickers". I am sure you can already see where this is going. They make up a third of their preschool class, so of course now all the preschoolers call them that. Siblings of preschoolers . . . and on and on. They all think it's FUNNY. Well, I'll tell you it is NOT funny when they are howling in top voice (which is VERY loud) at the zoo, "I WANT MY LICKER!!! I WANT MY LICKER!!!! I WANT MY LICKER!!!!!" Special. I want my liquor, too.

Or the time they were monkeying around and I said, "Straight line, NOW, or I'll get out the rope!" And a bystander looking HORRIFIED asked, "WHAT IS THE ROPE???!!" Ah, the cotton rope with loops tied in it to hold on to.

Oh, or the seventh time in 2007 I had Dylan at the ER - twice between Christmas and New Year's. The ER doctor sent in a GROUP of docors to watch me put a gown on Dylan (looking for bruises, I guess). She asked about our ped who had just opened a new office. Our ped told us later the ER doctor had called her concerned and asked, "Are you the Dr. A that treats the H triplets?" Dr. confirmed that she was and asked, "Who do you have, Dylan?" The doctor said yes and that she was suspicious that he'd been in so often. Dr. A asked, "Tell me, what is he doing RIGHT NOW?" The ER doc admitted that he was doing flips on the bedrail, by then with stitches (Dec 26) AND staples (December 30) in his head. I wonder if I can go to nursing school just long enough to learn how to suture?

I am sure I will think of more.

I am always joked with my kids when they are goofing around. I will often say something like "if you don't stop ...(tickling mommy or what ever) then I am going to beat you up" followed by tickles or whatever. All very fun for them.

So one day we are in the mall (they were around 2) and they are just being so silly. So I look at them and say, you better stop, you know with the special mommy face that tells the kids I am being silly with them. So of course all of them at the same time REALLY LOUD say, "don't beat us mommy, please". Packed mall, tons of people. I am sure you can just see the looks I got from all of the "perfect mothers" that were there. We left right then. LOL

"the days are slow but the years fly by quickly"

My brother stopped calling my niece "Daddy's little butt head" after their priest very innocently said "aren't you daddy's pretty girl" and - you guessed it - was told "No, I'm daddy's little butt head"

Me - it would have to be Costco when the kids were almost 4. I told the kids we'd get a pretzel in the food court on the way out if they were good - and they were gold. So I sat them at the table, turned my back to get the pretzel and heard one hit the floor and they other pushed them off the bench. "If you hit, pinch or scream again I'm getting out of line and we're going home" 1 second later "Ouch you pushed me" so I get out line, get the cart and tell the kids we're leaving.

"We'll be good, one more chance" I told them no, their chance was the first time I told them what would happen. So my drama queen throws herself on the floor crying and I told her "you have 2 choices, get up and come with me or go home with anyone who will have you"

A woman at the exit to the store stops dead and turns around - I so wasn't looking forward to this - especially since drama queen had gotten up and was following me - sniffling, but not crying.

Thank God the woman only said "Good parenting it's such a tough age" while the other 30 people standing around were just shaking their heads and giving me that horrified look.

One of my daughters had an unfortunate accident with the cord on the drapes at my bil's house the day before Easter. It left an awful mark across her throat so I put a turtleneck under her Easter dress. That sunday we were running late so all that was left was the front pew and we heard a collective GASP when she pulled down the turtleneck to show the entire congregation her "owie". Same girl also gave the deli guy a blow by blow description of how a puppy came out of her dog's butt. Second dd decided to undress herself at a black tie wedding reception (out of her intricate flower girl gown by the way) and dash out of the restroom while I was indisposed and streak the dance floor at the Ritz.

I think poor dw has had the worst of it.

Do you wonder why they don't have ball pits anymore? Dw had the boys at a Burger King -- the boys out of diapers, so they could have been in the early 3's. Dw looks up to see Bryce pull his pants down and pee into the ball pit...with a big smile on his face.

Probably the worst was when after having the boys out in the back yard at about 1 year old, dw brought the boys in and gave them a bath. She had two boys dry and running around as she dried the 3rd. There was a knock on the door and it was the sheriff. Seems someone had heard Alex scream (a brother had taken something from him) and had called the cops because "it sounds like a kid is getting murdered over there."

Calder was running around naked with 6 or 8 big bruises on his back (from being bitten by Bryce). But the sheriff took it all in and was cool about the whole thing, but it still left dw shook up.

"Even the worst day with my children is better than a good day at work."

What a great post! I laughed hysterically at some of the answers - I feel like my life is a bit boring now! (though I am NOT requesting it change )

I am on the health and wellness committee at school and ds told his OT when she gave him candy as a prize, "my Mom says you are not supposed to give out candy at school". She told him she was going to give that bag and then not anymore! UGH!

Last week I had ds in for his physical, (I am a therapist at the health center so know the dr fairly well), dr does whole deal then asks "you wear a helmet when you ride you r bike don't you? You know about stranger safety?>..- DS looked at him like he had never heard of such things. I was like "Brendan - your bike helmet..." I felt like a bad mom trying to cover up for all the things I did wrong - like it only made me look worse than Brendan's blank look!

And oh I love when they ask questions about anatomy in a public restroom (when we are all in the stall crowded together!

This was probably more embarrasing for the kids ped than anyone, but my face did turn a bit crimson,lol!

During ds's physical his doc proceded to pull up his shirt to listen to his lungs, etc. "Oh, Mitchel I see you are wearing two shirts today!" I am sitting there thinking, hmmm, I don't remember him layering his shirts today. About the same time I am having that thought, his doc proceeds to pull up ds's second "shirt". Turns out that his second "shirt" was his boxer underwear. Yes, our ped gave my ds a major wedgie! The ped was extremely embarrased, but was laughing about it by the time the appt ended, as was I and ds.

I've laughed OUT LOUD at most of them! Thanks so much for the rolling times!

If I missed responding to any, please forgive me...I was having so much fun reading! LOL

Mine was a couple of years ago. You know when the kids make a nice picture for Mother's Day in school, with a little bit about you? Jasper had drawn a beautiful picture of me with a very large glass of red wine in my hand. His statement "My mummy drinks wine. My mummy likes to get drunk. I love my mummy because she lets me go on the computer". I'm sure they had a very good laugh in the staffroom that day!
