Prison Rules. Find the biggest, ugliest guy and hit him. Then no one will mess with you. Watch out for first day of preschool. This kid is set.Wrestling with my boys, 4 and 1.5. 4 year old slaps me across the face and laughs, I told him that we don't hit blah blah blah.....just as I finish 1.5 year old walks over and slaps me in the face and starts laughing, he's trouble.
I didn't realize home schooled kids were reading the Theban plays at nine.9yo has just gotten into "yo mama" jokes. But he's homeschooled so every time he says it to someone he's talking about me, his own mother.
Today he went into the girls room. 15yo says "what are you doing in here?!"
He says "yo mama!"
That is one amazing art project. Your kid is a smart one.I'm a big 9ers fan, so my 4 y/o is too, and yesterday he made me a replica of a 49ers v Rams game out of legos.

When I saw it I said "Wow, that's awesome"
And he replied "Yah, I used girl characters for the Rams, cause they're a bunch of little girls".
In case you're wondering, Goofy is Kaepernick, and the random yellow lego towards the sideline up top is the football, but "Kaepernick through an incomplete pass". So clearly he's paying more attention to the games than I thought.
They aren't. Unless the magic world of gumball has a send up of Antigone they will never know that story.I didn't realize home schooled kids were reading the Theban plays at nine.
Heh, you're telling me. He's already memorized his state and capitals, presidents in order, can do basic math, and is reading books at 1st/2nd grade level. I'm screwed.That is one amazing art project. Your kid is a smart one.
My 6 year old son got published in the paper for what he's thankful for around thanksgiving. He said "I'm thankful for my two sister since they are so kind." Quote and name in the paper and everything and the school sent a copy home for us to have. Really nice and cool
He has one sister. I asked him why he said two and he said "I forgot."
i believe him...My teen boys help with my baby boys quite a bit. The 14yo was saying it won't be much different to be a dad. But his sister would have to go through childbirth to be a mom. The sister says he will have to do some stuff to be a dad and I said yeah but no one ever complains about that. All three teens get embarrassed and uncomfortable. I said if you can't talk to your mother about it you're not ready to do it.
13yo boy says "oh well crap. I will never do it."
So there was no article in the paper and you were just making stuff up and he followed? That's precious!My 6 year old is so fun.
We were at the dinner table with my wife last night. I asked him about his day at school and he wasn't sharing much, so I said, "I heard you rode a bull today at school. What was the bull's name?"
Without missing a beat, he said, "Shiny."
My wife's face was like.
I went on. Yeah, I read it in the paper today. "What was the paper's name?"
Riley: "The Austin Urer."
So we played along and I'd prompt him for details that he'd instantly provide. "What color was Shiny again?"
"Bronze. It's why he's shiny."
Went on to completely confuse the wife, which was fun.
A few minutes later, we were talking about his swim practice, and how he swam the length of the pool underwater. I said, "The Austin Urer said you saw something when you were underwater. I forgot what it was..."
Riley: "A medium sea turtle..."
The fact my wife was so confused about this and we never broke our deadpan that was great.
Sadly I can relate all to well.Think many can relate to this.
Our one year old is in a daddy phase. We have daddy dance parties, where I play music and spin her around and she loves, loves, loves it. Whenever she sees me, she reaches out and starts dancing. I have to indulge her at least 5 times a day.
6 year old was getting his daily tablet time (which he has to earn). We were trying to talk with him in between his playing some game.
I explained to him that kids have mommy and daddy phases and it's good when it swings your way.
My wife said to him, "Are you in a mommy or daddy phase?"
Without looking up, he replied, "I'm in a tablet phase."
None of these are roll on the floor funny or anything, but I'm just glad my kid is old enough that I can contribute to this thread now.
From a 2 year old, two separate convos.
Him: The houses are all gone.
Me: Say what?
Him: What.
Me: Wassssssuuuuuuppppppp!?!?
Him: What are you talking about?
(I guess that's not cool anymore)
love it.
Overheard the wife talking to our kids (8, 11, and 13 yrold) about her parents. Our 11yr old son asked why Grandma and Grandpa don't travel to fun places like Disney World or an amusement park. "Why do they always go to museums or churches? They're no fun!"
Wife explained they were older and enjoy seeing things that don't move around much and are historic. She ended by saying, "Remember - your Grandparents aren't Spring Chickens."
8yr old was playing a game on her phone - never looked up and said, "More like Winter Chickens! They move so slow they'll freeze in place!"
I was laughing so hard I was given the look from the wife that said "leave the room".![]()
I thank the good lord I have no idea what Justice or Claire's are...Running errands over the weekend. 9 yo is constantly begging to go into Justice or Claire's (not that she needs anything from either). No substitute (Target, JC Penny's, any place that we may be able to find anything for someone else, etc) will do.
When pressed as to why Claires or Justice, in a matter of fact, semi-snarky voice she states "They get me"
The teen years are going to be fun...![]()
No worries if you have boys. If you have girls, brace yourself.I thank the good lord I have no idea what Justice or Claire's are...
3 Boys >17. I'm in the clear.No worries if you have boys. If you have girls, brace yourself.
Lucky duck.My daughter hates Justice/Claire![]()
... I always have a jar of almonds around- and somehow she started calling them daddy nuts.Not funny but I'll allow it.odin33 said:Proud pappa/ amazed at how kids see things moment:
it was 6yo's B-day friends party this past weekend at the bowling alley (I wouldn't subject anyone else's kids to our extended family).
She invited surviving twins (of triplets) from her soccer team of which one has a permanent tracheotomy and wears glasses, and is very difficult to understand (understandably). Both are very slight and petite. (I just want to wrap them both up in a protective bubble so I can only imagine the parents concern). They're a year behind 6yo in school so they were kinda off on their own.
6yo went out of her way to say hi to each as they arrived despite the chaos, and introduced the twins around to everyone. She always treats them with kid gloves (my daughter is a bruiser by nature), almost too much at times.
Was impressed in how she bounced around between all her friends that day.
Throughout the season at home we'd asked: How do you tell the twins apart (trying to see how they approach the trach), "Easy dad, Emily has glasses". Never once have I heard her mention the trach. The closest she gets is it's sometimes hard to hear what she's saying.
When did johnnyrock start runnng this lol ?Not funny but I'll allow it.![]()
rouddad:Took me a minute to figure out that you were talking about PowerPoint. I assumed Playground slides, too, as if you were a park engineer.TobiasFunke said:Talking to the gang on my way out the door, I tell them that today I have to make slides at work, and the slides have words and pictures and colors just like the stuff they do at preschool or with mommy at home.
3 year old: "Make sure you use glue or they will all fall to the bottom!"
Took me like 30 seconds to figure out he was thinking of playground slides.
This has already begun to backfire on me. I've gotten more "Hi Starving, I'm KanilJr" and "Does your face hurt"s than I can handle. I'm going to have to step up my game.So last Sunday we were doing nachos for the game. MrsKanil asks KanilJr(5yo) to grab the chips out of the pantry and bring them to her... and then... it happened.
KanilJr: *Looking very confused at the chips* "Whose chips are these?"
At this point, my ears perk up because I know what's coming. I'm giddy with anticipation...
MrsKanil: They're yours and mine and daddys.
KanilJr: No, I don't think so... (still looking at the bag very with a very confused look)
MrsKanil: Then whose are they?
KanilJr: Nach-Yo chips!!!!!!!!!!!!
MrsKanil:![]()
KanilJr: *Looks at me* "HAH, GOT HER!!!"
My 5yo is already working on the art of the dad joke. I've never been more proud.
My 9yo has a finger sucking problem. He uses his first finger on his left hand. Yesterday his 14yo brother says "isn't that the hand you use to play with your penis?" He responds, "no I use this one!" And pulls his right hand out of his pants.
