Kids say the darndest things!


So if you don't know my son he is pretty funny, he keeps us on our toes and is constantly cracking us up. In the last month he has said some things that we have chuckled at. The problem is he does not have what we call a "filter".
Here are some conversations from the last month.

Setting: Winco shopping for food, we are in a long line, Zeke has just learned that I am pregnant and it is a source of constant conversation. A lady walks right next to our cart, she is a little bit overweight.
Zeke: (in a very loud voice)Hey mama does that lady have a baby in her tummy too???
Me: Shhh Zeke, everyone comes in different shapes and sizes, that lady is just bigger, please don't ask that about other people it could hurt their feelings.
1 minute later
Zeke: (pointing obnoxiously)what about that lady mama does she have a baby in her tummy?

Setting: our bathroom
Zeke:hey mama I have baby in my tummy too, it is a huge cat and its name is Imogene.
(Our friends Steve and Karen also have a cat with the very same name!)

Setting:Our backyard, Zeke is chatting with our nice neighbor next door.
Me: Hey Zeke it is time to come in for dinner
Zeke: ok I was just talking to the old lady, bye see ya (she was still out there)

Setting: Dan and Zeke on the couch wrestling and talking together
Zeke: Hey daddy why you have yellow teeth?
Dan: cracking up laughing
Zeke: did you get the yellow marker and color them?
(dan has 2 teeth that lost their enamel in a childhood accident)
We cracked up about that one all night long

Setting: Driving in the car passing a retirement home
Zeke: hey mama what is that place?
ME: that is a place where people can live when they get older and can't take care of themselves
Zeke: like who grammy and grampy and nana and papa?
Me: no they are not that old, when people are much older than that
Zeke: my nana can live there
Me: no she is not that old Zeke
Zeke: yes she is, she is a pretty old girl
(sorry Carol)

You just never know what he might say, but is makes life interesting!

Oh I am so glad you posted these...they made me laugh out loud. I think my favorite is Zeke saying good bye to the nice old lady:) And I would have to say there is no way Carol, you are even close for the retirement centers:)

That is so funny Alyssa! My favorite was when I came over last week and Zeke told you that you could leave and I would watch him. He is full of personality, that's for sure! :)
