Very cute

[puddle jumper]

My neighbor was telling me about his 4 year old.

They were in the grocery store shopping when the little boy saw a female police officer. He pointed and said dad look they eat food to. The police officer looked over and said were people to. My neighbor said he felt about 2 inches tall.

Man i could just feel his embarrassment

When I was a kid, my sister age 5, my mother, and myself, were in the grocery store checkout.

My sister had never seen a black person before, and just as the woman and her son walked up behind my mother .......
my sister said, and I quote, "look mommy, a little chocolate boy."

Mom shrunk so much she was actually smaller than my sister.

Re: Very cute

My wife is hispanic and rather dark complected while I am about as nordic as it gets. Our daughter, Lara, was normally fair skinned but she has a tendency to tan quite deeply (Oh how I envy her. I just turn into a lobster.).

Anyway, my wife, for whatever reason, didn't want our kids looking like her. She'd rather they stayed white and pasty looking like me, so she was always nagging them about limiting their exposure to the sun.

So... Once upon a time, when my daughter was about 5 years old, we were taking our annual family trip to the bluegrass music festival in Victorville for a day of food, music and people watching.

We 'borrowed' the 8 year old daughter, Michelle, of some black friends as she seemed interested in the music and our description of the event.
About 20 minutes into the trip, Lara looks at Michelle and out of the blue, she says "You need to tell your mommy to keep you out of the sun. You're getting dark!"

I nearly drove off the road from laughing.

Re: Very cute

Kid's say some strange and embarassing things at the worst times. We have had our fair share of it when they were young.

Re: Very cute

Everytime my son sees a cop now, he just says "that other cop had your picture!"
But I assure you it was not a mugshot! It was my license photo on the cop's computer, that he let my son look at, when they came to the scene of an accident I was involved in a month ago. Plus it was a motorcycle cop, so my son (who will be 4 in July) thinks that's cool now too!

Re: Very cute

Among the things that give me alot of joy in being the father of a toddler, are the many funny "word inventions" that he comes up with. This morning we ate "opeymeal" and he brought a tape dispenser back into my office that I "forleft." When the water during "tubbytime" isn't right, its either "too very hot" or "too very cold."

Every single parent experiences this, so its not exactly unique, but that fact sure doesn't keep me from smiling every time he comes up with something new!


PS: I just had dinner with him a couple of hours ago. He recently went to the dentist and was talking about it at the table. I said, "yes, you did go to the dentist and you didn't have any cavities." My little man didn't miss beat and replied, "daddy, can we go to the store and buy some cavities?"

Re: Very cute

My oldest son, who's 6 now, was 5 when we were in line at Home Depot once. He says, "daddy, that fat man has the same hat as you". (me and the guy in front of us were both wearing tan ballcaps with blue brims). I quietly said, "ok, not so loud son...". But he will not be dismissed so easily. In a VERY loud voice..."Daddy, look! That BIG FAT MAN HAS THE SAME HAT AS YOU!!

weird thing is, the guy was not really that fat at all.

A toddler was in line with his parents behind a large woman when her beeper went off. The boy loudly warned his mom "watch out mommy, she's backing up".

Re: Very cute

Most of the time when children say things out of the blue.....ITS THE STONE COLD TRUTH !

While in the grocery checkout line, my boy, 3 or 4 at the time was standing the the front of the basket. He leaned out and patted the woman standing in front of us to get her attention. When she turned around, he pointed and exclaimed rather loudly....."You stink !". Everybody with in earshot turned to see. While I was looking for a hole to dive off in to, the woman bent over and calmly said...." I know I do. I've been working really hard and I'm going home to take a bath." While I was profusely apologizing she looked at me, winked and said "They tell the truth dont they !"

I must admit she was rather fragrant.

Re: Very cute

When I was little I apparently asked my mom loudly in the checkout line why the (black) lady behind us had such big lips......

Re: Very cute

My son was 4 or so when I took him to the new Lowes home improvement store. I was in awe looking at all the neat things when he said 'Dad , I have gotta go to the bathroom'. I said "OK we will go" then like a rocket he sprinted for the display toilet, hands in pants starting to unbutton, ready to go. I was able to stop him before he got started, otherwise I may have been able to buy the display as a "used" model.

Re: Very cute

We shopped at K Mart a lot when I was a kid... the folks just left me in the toy department whilst they went shopping and would fetch me when it was time to go. One trip a couple saw me alone and asked if I was lost, I said no but they didn't believe me and took me to the front desk manager who proceeded to scream over the loudspeakers that they had a lost child. I remember being very embarrassed over this as everyone was looking at me so when then they asked me my name I replied "Rosco". My name is Daryl, not Rosco but I didn't want my parents to think I had wandered away from the toy section and gotten lost. They heard the announcement but thought nothing of it until they could not find me. My mother says that they went to the counter to report ANOTHER missing child and there I sat with one of those giant rainbow suckers surronded by all of the checkout ladies. I don't remember her exact words when she snatched me off of the counter but she was not amused. I DO remember, as I was being dragged out the door, all of the employees saying "Bye Rosco!"

Re: Very cute

This past sunday my wife, son (2 yr old), and myself went to Outback for a father's day dinner. My wife always packs and brings a bag of toys with us when we go out to dinner to keep our son occupied. One of the toys in the bag is a set of toy handcuffs. So, as we are sitting there and he is playing with the handcuffs, he notices a cute 3 yr old or so girl sitting in at the table behind us. After looking away once playing his little shy guy routine, he turns back around with the handcuffs and shakes them at the little girl. He didn't even have to say a word. My wife and I burst out in laughter, but the little girls parents didn't seem quite so amused.
