Kids say the darnedest things… darnedest, most embarrassing, completely sincere, funniest, totally annoying and very heart-tugging things.
Here are some of my current favorites out of my kid’s mouth:
Upon hearing a baby or toddler crying, Lucas will exclaim, “Maybe he needs some uppy.” (as in, the child needs to be picked up).
When searching for anything, Lucas calls out in a singsong voice, “Oh car, where are you?”.
Lucas told a caregiver at the Kids Club at the gym recently that he had a sister and when I asked him about his fib, he replied, “I don’t have a sister yet, but I will someday.” Perhaps he knows something I don’t.
Before we go anywhere, Lucas asks if he can bring something, typically a lot of something (a pile of books, a bucket full of cars, five stuffed animals, etc.) and I always try to limit the quantity, wherein the negotiating begins and he’ll say, “I’ll just bring them in the car, but not take them in the supermarket.” He’s a smart kid and this logic works on me every time.
Out of the clear blue, Lucas will profess his love for his lovey by saying, “I love lovey, he’s my buddy.” It’s so sweet and endearing.
We hear, “Not today, dear.” in response to a lot of questions these days. This is a line from Corduroy, one of Lucas’ favorite books. I HATE the word dear as a term of endearment so this one bugs me to no end.

Saving the best for last, Lucas says “OMG” and appropriately. It cracks me up each and every time. I take full credit for this one.
What funny things do your kids say?

I hate Dear, too! That is one of M’s favorite books. Luckily that’s not a line we’ve heard him repeat from it yet though!
Count your lucky stars then! It makes my skin crawl.
Layla says some of the same things. She’s allowed to take her toys in the car but not into the store so she tells me that and the other day she was saying OMG.
Also, she told me that her sister freaks her out and that her chapstick was stupid.
Kids.
OMG makes me goggle. It sounds so unnatural coming out of a two year old’s mouth, but so perfect too.
Those are hilarious and so precious!
My 2.5 year old does a mean Ed McMahon right now. The whole ‘Eh-Oh!’ like Johnny Carson is going to walk into the house. It’s priceless.
Oh, I’d love to hear that!
It’s the funniest thing but I haven’t been able to capture it on film yet. Last night, in his bath, he started yelling ‘Cannonball!’. Oh my goodness.
Very cute!
Liam has been known to exclaim, “no biggie! You can just wipe it!” after spilling entire cups of orange juice, milk, or even my morning coffee.
Very cute. Lucas will say, “it’s okay to make a mess, we can clean it up later.”. They are funny creatures.
I love his sayings! JDaniel loves to say sure all the time.
They are fun to listen to.
When I ask Andy, “Who’s got it better than us?” He always replies, “Nobody.” I guess the sports sayings have rubbed off on him. The funny kid-isms don’t end at 4 or 5, they just get more mature and different themed….
I’m loving the kid-isms right now, so I’m glad they are here to stay. 🙂
Love this. Lucas is so sweet. And J totally does the singing where are you too. So cute. We were in the grocery store “milk…where are you?” where did they get that?
That’s precious. We miss you and Jackson!
OMG!! Priceless and precious.
I’ll have to try to record him saying it for you. It’s hilarious!
My kids pull the same trick with taking toys in the car. My van is now loaded with about 5 billion trains and cars thanks to them.
Dylan also repeats lines from certain songs. But of course not the most kid friendly ones either. 😉
The negotiations crack me up! He knows I will load up the car with his toys, I just won’t bring them in any where with us.
Haha he’s adorable!!! Gosh I wish Monkey would hurry up and talk properly already 🙂
Just you wait! 🙂
We bargain about the things in the car/to the store, too.
And her lovey, which is inexplicably called her “Boop”…I will hear her saying, “Oh, Boopy, I love you so much. You’re the softest.”
I feel like we bargain and negotiate all day long. It’s exhausting because he’s so good at it!
Boop is the cutest!
the first one is so sweet! an uppy….*love*
and the baby sister comment…hmmm…who knows what Lucas knows…
and babe, my kids say so much crazy stuff it would overflow your comment section
I know, “uppy” kills me!
Kids and their funny sayings are awesome.
No matter how many times we correct him, middle-man, always says he wants macaronni pizza (pepperoni) Makes me smile!
That’s too cute!
Lucas calls pepperoni Maserati. Being married to a car guy, it makes sense.
Hee! Love this, girl!
Our kids sing inappropriate song lyrics *all* the time.
Le sigh.
(I think I get to take credit for this one!)
It’s delightful to hear what they come up with.
Hilarious. Connor says stuff that makes me laugh out loud all the time.
And he is certain he’s having a sister too. You never know what these kids know…
He really does the cutest things ever! I hope he keeps some of the those phrases for a long time. My favorite still is when he randomly bursts out “I missed you “Eah” or “I love you so much Eah” or “Thank you for playing with me” or “can you play with me Eah?” Aaaahhh, i could ramble off a million more!
