Kids say the darndest things

We all know those pesky Shane Co. commercials. Well we were driving home the other day and one came on. At the end of the commercial Carter said, right along with the announcer, "And online at Shane Co.com." I thought it was the cutest thing.

Avery just learned about his "private parts." He pulled down his pants and showed Grandma his goodies and said, "Grandma, these are my private parts." The three year old dialect made that sentence priceless!

We've all said it: "If you want to have dessert you need to eat your veggies." "If you want to go play, you need to clean your room." Well I never thought I'd hear it come out of my childs mouth. The other day Carter and Emma were playing with hotwheels. Cater gave Emma the little track and he took the big one. Emma kept trying to play on the big one. I heard Carter say, "Emma do you want to play with my cars?" She said "YES" He said, "then you need to use the little one." I couldn't help but laugh, I guess he really is listening when I talk huh?

Yes folks that's right my little Emms is ghetto. She was playing with Cortney (for those of you who don't know him, he is our roommate) the other day and these 4 little words that came out of her mouth kept me laughing for about 5 minutes. She said, and I quote "I am not buggin"

Well folks it finally happened. My sweet little Emma turned. We were driving to soccer last Friday night and the kids were in the back enjoying their happy meals. We were all listening to music and Brad started singing. Out of no where Emma, through a mouth full of chicken nugget said Daddy.............Shut up. Now in our house that is a naughty word, but we couldn't help but laugh a little at her. Carter then shortly reminded her that it was a "bad word say." That is what he calls it. We promptly reminded her that she cannot say things like that and I told her it was a naughty word. She said "I not naughty." I explained that she was not but the word was. I am sure it isn't the last time we will hear that come out of her mouth, but the first time is always a shock.

Well I said Carter was smart and funny. This is a perfect example: About a month ago I was upstairs putting laundry away and Carter was downstairs playing. He yelled "mom I want to watch Wall-E." I started to walk downstairs and he was like "mooooooooooommmmmmmmmm" I said "Carter patience is a vurtue." He said "I kow what it is, I just don't have any." I almost fell down the stairs I was laughing so hard.

My kids are getting sassier by the day. We had just gone to the grocery store and I got the kids a pack of chapstick becasue they are always using mine. Well Emma was playing with hers and she kept rolling it all the way up. Carter started yelling that she couldn't do that becasue it was going to break. I said "Carter, stop yelling and your sister, it is her chapstick, if she breaks it, it is her problem." So about 5 minutes later she dropped it on the floor of the Van while we were driving and she said, "my chaspick". Carter said "well, it's your problem." I guess it is time to start watching how I word things around my kids huh?

So Carter is just about the darn funniest kid I have ever met. The other day he found a car that apparently he had lost. He was like "Mom, I found my car, man I haven't seen this in ages!". Ages, he is 4. I actually think he is a 30yr old trapped in a 4yr olds body.
