Kids are funny, especially toddlers. I know my own daughter has been cracking me up ever since she started talking. I know they can be very difficult. There are the terrible two's and the even worse three's, but in all the chaos that is toddlerhood you have to love the funny moments and just enjoy them. Here are some funny moments, many of which come from my own daughter, Madison:
1. When Joey was little I was going through the car wash with him on a mild winter day and he asked me why we were getting the car washed in winter. So I told him what all the salt on the roads does to cars and how it's got to be washed off every time you can. So he sat back and said out loud to no one in particular, "hmmm I wonder what the pepper does".
(Joey, age 5 - CT)
2. A couple months ago, I gave Mateo the lint from the lint trap in the dryer. He said..."mom, it's so soft, it feels like a chicken!" I burst out laughing and thought to myself...cuz u know what a chicken feels like??? LOL (Mateo, age 4 - FL)
3. My dad was visiting from out of state so my daughter was just getting to know him at the time. We all just got back from an outing at the beach and after walking back into the house, my daughter points at her grandfather and then points at the door and says "You....Out!" (Madison, age 2 - FL)
4. My husband came in the house after mowing the lawn with his discolored shoes on. Madison said "Oh no, daddy, you peed on your shoes!"....LOL (Madison, age 2.5 - FL)
5. For those of you that don't know...Publix is one of the biggest grocery food store chains in the state of Florida. So my daughter knew exactly what Publix was and at the time she was learning to say the pledge of allegiance in preschool and she was doing so good, but this is what she said: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the PUBLIX for which it stands...." (Madison, age 3 - FL)
6. When my girls were toddlers...and honestly until I corrected it because it was SOOOOOO CUTE.... they used to say, " TAG CARROT!!!" instead of " tag, you're it!"
(Sarah and Rachel, age 3 - FL)
7. We were having a typical family dinner of trout, rice and veggies. My daughter has eaten all she's wanted and all that remained was a sliver of fish on here plate. She looked at us and proclaimed "I don't want anymore lizard." We all looked at her plate and it sure did look like a lizard. We still laugh about this even though it's been 17 years.
(Keren, age 3 - FL)
8. I did all the laundry in the house and my son said "you did all this?" While looking at all the folded clothes I was putting away and I said "yes I did" and then he said "wow that's impressive!!!"(Jacob, age 6 - FL)
9. When my boys were 4 and 5, we were living in NY and it was the time of year when it gets a little cool in the afternoon, I went outside called to them to come in and put a jacket on because it was getting cold. "We're not cold" was the response. I repeated the fact that it was getting cold and I wanted them to put jackets on, again; "we're not cold". As a last resort (and standing outside myself for the past 15 minutes), I told them "it's cold, I'm cold, come in and put jackets on", to which my older son exclaimed, "we're not cold, if you're cold go back in the house, but we're not cold." (Brandon and Doug, age 5 and 4 - NY)
10. When my son was tiny, his daycare teacher was pregnant with her 1st child. She was elated and shared the news with all the kids. When I picked him up from school and I asked him how his day was, he excitedly said "Miss Ashley is going to have a baby mommy, she's permanent!" (Aidan, age 3 - FL)
11. We took a trip to Walmart and my daughter's dad took her past the registers as I was checking out. Next thing I know, I hear my daughter running towards the exit yelling "HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME" as her dad is chasing her. To the strangers eye, it looked as if someone was trying to abduct her. The looks he got. 😂😂 I ran over there, handed him my groceries and picked her up under my arm like a football and stormed out of the store.

12. My daughter had to answer some questions about mom on a worksheet at school for Mother's Day. One of the questions was "When does mom look the prettiest?". Her answer was: "when she wears makeup, A LOT of makeup". (Madison, age 5 - FL)
