conversations with children

[Beth]

me: would you like it if bobby lived here?
noelle: why do you ask that?
me: just wondering.
noelle: but then he couldn't bring us smarties.

*note -- canadian smarties are not the same as our smarties.




noelle: pick me up and hang me upside down.
me (does as told, then asks): why is your shirt all wet? did you spill water?
noelle: because i almost fell in the toilet.

i laughed, but immediately put her down and washed my hands.

[HEIRESS]

I could be your new smarties hustler

!!

[roosta]

my sister and her boyfriend went to see u2, and left us with their daughter

me : where are mammy and daddy?
ava : they're gone to see me
me : no, they've gone to see U2
ava : yes, theve gone to see me

hahahaha.

[RobMoney]

Brendan, Devan, Aimee, and Me were sitting in a Pizza Shop eating a pizza.

Me: Brendan, stop talking soo loudly, you're screaming and you need to stop
Brendan: Sorry
Me: Just try to lower the volume on your voice
Brendan: OK
Me: Do you want another slice of Pizza?
Brendan: Yes, I'll have that piece please,.....without shouting.

i met a hippy and his baby, they were totally on the same wave link

him: hey man, ya wanna get off the road?
baby: umm..okay
him: alright, that's cool man

[RobMoney]

me: would you like it if bobby lived here?
noelle: why do you ask that?
me: just wondering.


Was this convo as uncomfortable as I think it's gonna be?

[Beth]

no, it wasn't. and it won't be. they both adore bobby, and i'm fairly certain that noelle has a crush on him. she kept trying to get to stay at the apartment when it was time to go home. "but bobby can watch me while you're at work..."

[enree erzweglle]

my sister and her boyfriend went to see u2, and left us with their daughter

me : where are mammy and daddy?
ava : they're gone to see me
me : no, they've gone to see U2
ava : yes, theve gone to see me

hahahaha.
This little ava sounds so sweet.
This is the third or fourth one of these conversations with her/you that have made me laugh.

[ms.peachy]

This thread has reminded me of this time I was taking care of my nephew, when he was about 8. he'd been dragging his butt around all day, and I was trying to hurry him along because I had to get him to summer day camp and then I had an appointment. He got annoyed with me and stood with his hands on his hips and yelled "I can't do everything you tell me to do, you know!"

So I said, "Oh, really? Why not?"

And he rolls his eyes and sighs, and then says very deliberately to show that he thought I was a bit thick, "Because, I am ALLERGIC to WOMEN, duh."

[enree erzweglle]

me (does as told, then asks): why is your shirt all wet? did you spill water?
noelle: because i almost fell in the toilet.

I have had nearly identical conversations with people, only some of whom were under the age of, say, 7.

[BGirl]

4 year-old nephew: I want to go to New York on Tuesday.

his mom: We can go when you're bigger.

4 yo: How do I get bigger?


.. as reported by my sister-in-law

[Beth]

my nephew once asked my sister if he was going to be chinese when he grew up.

[BGirl]

hilarious

[na§tee]

[Loppfessor]

Me: Hey kid you like candy? I got some in my trunk....

Me: awww c'mon

Kid: STRANGER!!! STRANGER!!!!!! *blows whistle* STRRRRRANGER!!!!

Conversation between my daughter Ava (2 months old) and I just yesterday.

Ava: Hi!
Me: Hi, Ava!
Me: Ava, hi!
Me: Say hi, Ava.
Me: Say it again, Ava.
Me: Hi
Me: Hi
Me: Hi
Me: Ava, hi
Me: Come on
Me: Just once more
Me: Hi?
Ava: ......

[Mustangjen808]

aaawww that makes me so happy that they like Def.
I loved your kids when I got to meet them,Noelle is a trip.
Make sure to give em hugs for me.....tell em no snow this way,but it will come back

[enree erzweglle]

Me and a co-worker's kid a few years back when he was walking behind me to go back to her after 'helping' me fix computers.

Andrew: You have a great big Butt.
Me: Yeah, just like your mom's :)

(!) That is a great comeback. Did he get it?
No prize for him for being mean to you. (I have a basket of Oriental Trading Company stuff in my office and a lot of kids who come to my work know to come here and browse for something fun. Nothing fun for that butt-insulting kid though. :))

[TurdBerglar]

what's so bad about haveing a great big but?


he said it was great

[TurdBerglar]

oh, that makes it even funnier now


i thought he was like 14 or something.

[enree erzweglle]

No, but his mom did when I told her the story when we got back. :D
We laughed...and she scolded Andrew for being a little shit. (y)
I'd be somewhere while she did that making a face at him. Little bastard.

[monkey]

my nephew once asked my sister if he was going to be chinese when he grew up.

i told the kids next door my brother was an adopted chinese boy. they believed me and told their mom.

6 months later, the mom goes "it's really nice that you and your brother sort of look alike even though he's adopted."

[Beth]

i put noelle, josh, and josh's friend niko in charge of stuff as we were on the way out the door to pick up dinner.

me: niko, what are you in charge of?
niko: being cute.
me: josh, what are you in charge of?
josh: being adorable.
me: belly, what are you in charge of?
noelle: being tiny.
noelle: mommy's not in charge of anything.
josh: mommy, you're in charge of being beautiful.

*melts*

that kid almost made me cry. that was so sweet.





(noelle's nickname took a long route to become "belly." noelle -> belle -> bella -> noelley belly -> belly.)

[Mcmac]

you must be a pretty good mum...all my mum gets is "shutup" "go away" "piss off" leave me alone" :D

[enree erzweglle]

I used to have those types of conversations with my kid too.
Now we have deeper ones, like this:

me: do they drink on campus?
him: no
him: well yeah
him: everyone drinks
me: do you drink?
him: no
him: uh well sure
him: I won a drinking contest and got this:
*holds up home-made trophy with plastic baby dolls and condoms hanging from it*

[Mcmac]

I just re-read this after TAL linked to it.

Cracked me up :D

[voltanapricot]

me : where are mammy and daddy?
ava : they're gone to see me
me : no, they've gone to see U2
ava : yes, theve gone to see me
This reminds me of this little lad Matthew, his mum is a family friend and she was trying to teach him how to say his name once:

Mum: Matthew, say Matthew
Matt: Mah-hah
Mum: No no, Matthew,like this Math-you, Math-you
Matt: MATH ME!
Mum: No! Matthew listen, it's Math-you!
Matt: MATH ME, MATH ME, MATH ME, MATH ME, MATH ME

I think I've posted it before but it's still gold, as is hearing little girls saying "brrr, I'm freezing my balls off!"

[Tone Capone]

Me and my nephew when I was home on leave.

Me: Hey! Why is the dog eating a lemon??!! Who gave the dog a lemon?
J: Me.
Me: Why?
J: Because gramma put it on my plate and I told her I didn't want it.
Me: Well, when life gives you lemons...
J: Feed them to the dog.


Crazy kid.

[monkey]

kiara: i wanna play with the smiles (winks on msn messenger)
my mom: no, it freezes up the webcam
kiara: but i dont care! i like the pig!
my mom: kiara, you can play with the pig later.
kiara kicks my mom in the shins
my mom: ow kiara!
kiara: i dont love you and i dont like you.
my mom: fine, i dont love you and i dont like you either.
kiara: i was just kidding. i love you and i like you. can i play with the pig now?

i saw this all happen on the webcam. i couldnt have laughed harder if i tried.

Today the children that i "keep" for work said

"We wanna see the 'bity-boy.... please....AdaN, AdaN and Mike...."

[some months ago I had the "brilliant" idea of showin' 'em a few videos of 'em loaded on my PSP...to keep 'em in silence while their mommy was doin' something else... now they ask me randomly everyday to see:

the one of the cakes (Fight For Your Right)
- The one where they Jump (Alive)
- The One Of the Snow (Rhyme The Rhyme well)
- The One Of The Old Ladyes (Ch-Check it Out... Yauch and Mike impressed 'em...)
- The One Of the Monkey (Triple Trouble)

AWWWWWW :D

[b-grrrlie]

I really should write down some great stories I hear at work! :D


my nephew once asked my sister if he was going to be chinese when he grew up.A friend of mine told this: she'd been out with her daughter and there was this chinese and the kid hadn't met one before. She looked at her for a while and then said: "Why don't you open your eyes?!"

[befsquire]

a few months back, belly told bobby she wanted to listen to the puppies song. he couldn't figure it out. then she said something along the lines of "you know, puppies and broadway."

she meant sir mix-a-lot's my posse's on broadway.

[AdRockGRL]

AHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YOUR NEPHEW IS AMAZING!!!!!

[venusvenus123]

my son can't figure out why my husband is taller than me as he's younger than me.

[hellojello]

i remember my bosses daughter (3y.o) who's chinese/cambodian said to me once, what's wrong with your eyes, they look funny.
soooo cute.

another time a student i tutor (about 7 at the time) who's Islamic asked me where people came from. it was a really awkward question, me being an agnostic evoloutionist (i dont actually know if that's even a word)... so i just said erm, Allah made them. Too bad if the Quaran says something different. I should do my research.

When i was 3, I was in bed with my mom havin' a nap, on a very hot afternoon in august. My dad entered the room and woke us up to go out, and he was wearin' just drawers. I looked at him a little confused and said
"Dad!!!!You still wear the nappy?????"

[ggirlballa]

i use to volunteer to help kindergardeners read books, they were adorable but VERY hard to talk to.

[ggirlballa]

AWESOME!:D (y)

[hellojello]

when my bro was about 4 or 5 and I was babysitting him cause my parents are out and he comes up to me and tells me he needs a bandaid. I said 'why what's wong, what have you done to yourself'
' i have a headache '
he replies.

[AdRockGRL]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
Today on afternoon I was on work... Gioia (italian for Joy) the younger of the 2 babies that i keep was playn' with 2 little horsies....we were sitting on the sofa and I asked her "What are their names?" and she replyed "Adam...and Mike!"
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
I was like "whoa!!!" and I took out my camera and made a video where me and her mom ask her to say it again and show us which one is Adam and which one is Mike... so she does [she gets a little confused at one point...because Adam is the black horsie and Mike the brown one....so her mom asks to show with the finger which one is Mike....and which colour!]
We talk in italian [not exactly in italian....but in the slang that we use in our zone] so maybe who can speak spanish will understand a little better. Hope you'll enjoy this situation as much as I did!!!!

My mom-in-law was playing puzzles with Mookie and she needed her reading glasses. Mookie asked her to help, and she said she can't see. Mookie said, "Buelita, you're being negative. You can do it if you try." :o
