I dont have kids but my niece when she was younger and my god children have had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Here is your opportunity to regail us with some funny or touching stories about the kids you have encountered in your life, even if those kids are not your own :)

While visiting my son, daughter in law and grandkids. I was sitting with my granddaughter talking to her about school (she is in the 2nd grade).

I told her " you know, Poppy will be there when you graduate High School.

And she replied ( matter of factly). no you won't..

I asked her " why?"

And she said ( again matter of factly)

You're old.. you will be dead by that time.........Lol...

cracked me up!! :)

Why do all kids think we're so bloody old ??? Great story greeneyes! :)

When my baby cousins were in middle school, they were very devoted to their friends and one was upset that a friend had begun to distance themselves from her.

When we explained that you often don't keep the same friends forever and that you can always make new friends. She replied that there was no sense in trying to make new friends once you got old and it had to be while you were young.

When we asked how old was 'old', she told us 25,,,now that she is 25,, we tease her about being 'old'.

When my nephew was on a road trip with us, his brother and my son were not including him in all their activities and it was making him upset. Instead of saying so, whenever they would say something to him, he would say

"I don't give a crap"

When we explained that it wasn't a nice thing to say. He told us his mom says it all the time. So, we tried to explain he shouldn't say things if he doesn't know what they mean. To which he replied that he knew it meant I don't care.

We then asked him why he didn't just say I don't care and he replied

"It doesn't have the same impact."


THey could not have been more than 7 or 8.

I work with Navy Cadets aged 9 to 12. My position is Executive Officer. This one cadet always announces " Executive or Commanding Officer approaching, mam or sir " as we approach the deck. Well this cadet kept calling me sir and I always laughed at it. One day this kid was announcing my approach and said "Executive Officer approaching, mam" to one of my male officers. The officer is smirking but says, "I am not a mam, I am a sir, get it right". Cadet's priceless response, " I am working on it sir." My response: doubled over from laughter.

I have 4 kids and 13 grandkids.
I can tell you about some of the funniest stuff known to mankind.

Kids are unpredictable.

One of my sons tried keeping his socks in the fridgerator. When asked why?
My feet get hot dad.

OK, Who broke the nic-nac!
I don't know...x4
or joey did it.
Joey, did you break the nic-nac...
I don't know...

The grandson that piles up things to get to the cookie jar. Amazing balance at 4 years old.

One year we were visted by the census takers. Everytime they opened their mouths to ask a question my daughter would turn on the vacuum cleaner. Mom was pist but I thought it was really funny!

Who let the dogs out?
I don't know...
or joey did it.
Joey, why did you let the dogs out?
I don't know...

My oldest boy used to make money in the summer at the local Aldi's.
He was 9 year sold.
He would ask people if he could help unload their cart if he could keep the quarter. Well, he did but he unloaded their cart by putting their bags on the ground. Then he would run off with the cart. He told me its his first "Job".

My grandaughter calls her mother "Bumps"

In high school my son had to care for an egg without breaking it. It was in his care for a week.

Earlier that year my other son did a home science experiment where he had to soak and egg in vinegar.

My son pickled the egg so it wouldn't break and then wondered why he got a bad grade?

My boys were sports nuts when they were little.

Bush Diving
Joey Discus
Tree Riding

Amazingly, none broke any bones?

I remember when I was in my 20s, and the president of a youth club, the teens there , saw me as a fossil . Gotta love those kids .

I very much relate Ms H ;)

Precocious little lad

Super cute story navy girl

I remember when we just adopted our second double trouble as a son. Bring the diligent parents we thought we should be we safely secured things from them.

But we kept finding things out. Blaming the other for awhile and then
Wondering for a while if we had a racoon or other such gremlin we started doubling down.

To our surprise I finally caught them stripping off their shoes and socks and literally climbing up the adjoining door jam like monkey's going up a coconut tree. And after unfastening the spring loaded latch letting the other down quietly.

So I have had lots of laughs over the years since as they cope with their own drape apes.

I have been married twice. I had a son from the first and a daughter from the second. My daughter ADORES her big brother. When she was 3 or 4 and the school was encouraging students to know the basic information in case they were ever lost,,,, she started asking questions. One day we had this conversation.

"Mom, isn't my last name the same as yours?"

'yes honey'

"But my brother's last name is different?"

'yes honey'

at this point, she got a look of both curiosity and frustration on her face and said

"I don't want to think about it"


and wandered away,,, lol

When my oldest son was four years old, I was pregnant with his brother. He asked me how the baby got inside me. I thought back to my college class (sex education) and age appropriate explanations to give your children, so I told him that daddy planted a seed in mommy.

He stood there for a few minutes looking out the window. Then turned to me and asked, "Well how did he get the dirt in there?"

buddy of mine has two kids they're now 13 and 5...when his first was 1.5 he fell down in the yard... he gets up pauses, brushes his knee off and exclaims "WELL S%#T"...i still laugh about it

Your kids are a hoot and a half Tom ! Thats over a decade of live entertainment ! :)

Oh yes they do the kid raised in a truck until he was 5 went to
school first week we was in Walmart. He was following about three
aisles behind. I stopped for him to catch up. He stopped and yelled
hey mom guess what I learned in school he popped up his finger and
said this is the finger you are not suppose to use. I almost
died right there.
Oh got another one.

We was coming across Point of Rocks, Wy. I was in the hammer
lane. He come bouncing down the sleeper. Jumped up in the seat.
Well a little explanation need here. When we drivers get tired
sometimes we hit the hammer lane and play ditch diving.

An England truck was up around the bend. Started to do this.
He reached over grabbed the mic keyed it up and said, "Hey
England Indy already has a pace car. Get back over in your
lane my mamas coming on through!" I almost laughed caught myself.
I said his full name where did you hear that? He said another driver
I quickly made him apologize. The other driver got the biggest kick
out of it. He was tired so I shut her down and followed him kept him awake until he could get to Little America. Then went on my way.

Yes you never know what they will say....

I used to babysit my best friend's baby..regularly.
One night I was bathing him (he was now 5 years old)
and he shivered, I said 'Are you cold?'

He replied, 'No, I am electric excited!'
Seems my rubdown was a wee too intense :-)
Kid explained it perfectly.

Time for baby to bathe on his own :-)
