Wow - this topic is wonderful! Never had children but have always loved them and ended up with grandkids anyway! If there's a party with kids present, it seems they always find me and I end up playing. Spouse thinks this is hysterically funny. And, it isn't that I don't enjoy adult company ... but kids are irresistable.

They say things like, "Why is that green thing stuck in your teeth?" or, "Why does your breath stink?" or "I just farted, what do you think of that?" or "I'm glad I'm only eight because you're going to die before me!" or "The reason I'm crying today is because my body is turning into a woman's body and Mom said it's just my hormones."

I remember: cloth diapers, tents, cooking with Mom, the food experiences that Solo recounted ... and dyslexia! Both my sister and I wrote mirror backwards for a long time.

Hope you all keep the stories coming! Such delight!

Here are some grand kid favorites:
"Mom and Dad get mad when I fart at their house. But grandpa laughs at farts. Can I fart over here?"
"I sleep a lot better if my back gets rubbed first."
"Mom is kind of mad that you taught us to make dough-nut socks."
"Why don't you like to eat at Chucky Cheese?"
"Do you feel bad that you're old?"
"Dangle ear rings are for mature women." (from a nine yr. old)

Thats so funny!! I can relate to almost all of that!
My kids sleep in the same room and in the same bed. One is 11 the other 7! I asked my oldest daughter if she was ready for her own room. Her response "Oh no mommy I cant sleep unless sissy is in the bed, she keeps me warm". So the other night at midnight I hear noises comming from their bedroom, so I go investigate. Low and behold my oldest is up, so I ask her why. Her response this time, " I cant sleep, sissy snores and she's like a hot rock, all sweaty"! So I ask her again if shes ready for her own room. "No way mommy sissys not hot all the time, just on the nights I cant sleep. Go figure.

They say the funniest things to. This happened when mine were alot younger. We went to eat breakfast at I HOP one summer morning. The waitress brought our meal and after I got their pancakes cut up I scooted back over into my spot to eat my eggs. Well when I did my legs rubbed the vinyl seat just enough to make that sound. You know the one!!!! My youngest said in her loudest voice possible, "Momma you pooted". I was so embarrassed! I said, "No I did not!" Of course Ash had to put in, "Yes you did mom I smell it!" It was the eggs!!!!! Everyone around us was laughing! Kids got to love em!!!!

Hey everyone, just got back from the doctor and my youngest Zoe has swine flu!!! She wasnt feeling well yesterday and started running fever last night, so I took her to the med center and she tested positive. She is on flu meds and the doc put me and Ash on them as well. She will have to be out of school for 5 days so I wont be going to work. Watch for sniffles and coughs!!!

Sorry for your kid belladonnis but in general it's only staying home and taking care. I've also heard some doctors (depending on the case) could prescribe Tamiflu(?)
I hope she gets well.
