Similar stories with both of my sons (now 9 and 4)Both had versions of the "why don't girls have a penis?" conversation with me or my wife.This conversation happened as my wife got out of the shower:
3yo son: Where's your peepee?
Wife: (deer in headlights) .... Girls don't have peepees... boys have peepees, girls have ######s
3yo son: (must have heard it wrong because he repeats it as...) Boys have peepees, girls have ninja turtles.
Wife:
3yo son: I want a ninja turtle... I love them!
He then spent the next 5 minutes complaining about wanting a ninja turtle. He's super jealous of girls now.
Totally agree Mr. Ham. It's a great repository for memories.I'm very grateful to have documented over 20 of these stories about my son Connor, who died at 8. Before his service in early June, I printed them all out and most I wouldn't have remembered if this thread weren't here. This became an invaluable archive of memories.
My wife remembered one from when he was 4, that was so like him.
She and her sister took Connor to Marie Calendars and he got a piece of pie with his meal. Wife and her sister tried to talk him into various kinds of pie (so they could be vultures on it), but he was dead set on coconut cream. Wife and sister HATE coconut for some strange reason, and wife knew that Connor shared the affliction.
After intense negotiations failed, he insisted. Pie came. Took one bite.
"I hate it."
He was the kind of kid that was going to have to try everything and make every mistake before he learned.
Actually, if he studies more of the snare drum fundamentals, he will learn about paradiddles (e.g. LRLL, RLRR).Another funny one from my oldest son, who's taking drum lessons now, is he always calls "drum fills" "drum fiddles". Love it.
You don't wear the shirt of the band you're going to see. He doesn't want to be 'that guy'.So my son is obsessed with superheroes like most boys his age. He has TONS of superhero t-shirts and always gives us a hard time when we try to dress him in something else. anyway, we have tix for next week to see Marvel Universe Live and i ask him what shirt he wants to wear to the show. His response "a Yankee tee-shirt".
I gotta take a poop bropoop always kills it.
We had breakfast last week at Toulouse in Seattle. Walking back to our car, my son (7) asks very loudly "Dad, what does #### it (rhymes with bucket) mean?"
What?
"#### it, what does that mean?"
After all of us and several bystanders stand there with our jaws dropped... he points down the street at this sign.
lol i taught my son "dont just stare at it, eat it" when he was two and i was trying to get him to eat his dinner. Its a movie reference. Look it up if you dont know.My daughters only 20 months so her potential for funnies is limited.
When she had just started talking she couldn't say glasses and would call them lies (eyes). Anyway, we were at a christening and the minister was doing te whole piece about how god will look after the child etc. Just as she's finishing up my daughter turns around and starts reaching for my glasses shouting "lies lies!"
More recently I've started teaching her tv catchphrases (suggestions welcome). My wife just about had a fit the first time she heard "Omar comin'"

She's got a point...My 5yo daughter has started saying "what's your deal, dude?" to me lately.
Yesterday we were out a local microbrewery and since I know the owners they usually let the kids go watch TV in the back room. My daughter really wanted to go do that but the room was being used so she couldn't. She said "Daddy, go tell them we want to use the room." Me: "No I can't do that". Her (pointing right at me): "Dad you're 42, you can do it!"
My kid just came blasting through the door from school:
Her: *laughing her head off* Daddy, there's a book in the school library by a guy named Alexander Dumba5s!
Nice, I forgot about that.My kid just came blasting through the door from school:

had she just seen Shawshank?
Let me begin by saying my daughter was very serious during the following.
Scene: (dad sitting on daughter's bed waiting to put her to bed. 5 year old daughter standing in doorway hands on hips)
Daughter: I sure hope you didn't eat chili today.
Me: Actually I did.
Daughter: Get out of my room.
My favorite:[sidenote - my buddy shaves his head]
Daughter: Why don't you want to grow hair?
Me: I don't know how.
Daughter: Well you better figure it out or you'll never be a princess.
Scene: (me quietly minding my own business on the couch when from another room I hear two people talking)
Mom: [Daughter] your peepee is called a vagina and your brothers is called a penis.
Daughter: A vagina? That's a funny word!
Mom: Yes and I want you to know what they are in case you hear someone at school talking about them, but it is not polite to talk about them all the time unless you have a reason to.
Daughter: What about fairies?
(Me: sigh of relief)
Mom: Yes you can talk about fairies.
Daughter: What about a fairy's [SIZE=12.222222328186035px]v[/SIZE]agina?
(Me: dying)
This is awesome.My buddies daughter is hilarious. Some reposts from his FB that crack me up.

We had some friends over the other night...my 3yo daughter runs into the Living Room-
- I WANT DADDY'S NUTS!
- {{guests... }}
- I want daddy's nuts NOW! (remembering to be polite)... Please? Daddy's BIG NUTS!
She has started calling almonds "daddy's nuts". Big nuts= the type I usually get versus another brand.
--------------------------
She also has started running to get us, with an uncomfortable look on her face...
- My underwear is too spicy.
I still have no idea what this means. Wife thinks it might mean that she has a wedgey.
I'm going to start working this into conversation. I'm going to try to make this a thing.We had some friends over the other night...my 3yo daughter runs into the Living Room-

You should take her to your next golf tournament.I was playing a game with my wife and two kids--12yo girl and 9 yo boy. My son made a move specifically designed to hamper my daughter. After, she asked him to look under the table because the dog was doing something cute but in reality, all she wanted to do was give him the finger so we couldn't see it.

(posted this elsewhere since I was too lazy to find this thread... but here goes for round 2).
3yo Floppinha has taken to saying "whobody" lately. "whobody ate my cupcake!" match that with this face, and welcome to just how tightly wrapped around her little finger she has me.
7yo Floppinho, out of the blue marched into our room and said to my wife- "stop wasting my potential"- and then marched back out. he's older, and not as cute, so screw him.
