The things kids will say

[DrCavin]

After over a year of planning this cruise, our kids would ask about what would the do on the ship, what charaters, fun things like that. Well this morning my 6 yr. old DD asks my wife "Mommie will I fall off the ship?"

GREAT now she is probably going to be worried about sitting on the verandah... At least we don't have to tell her for 12 months that she will be fine

Next she will be asking why the plane does not fall out of the sky..

I work with kids and I always say that I should write a book about the funny things they say. They really make coming to work fun - most of the time Here is a cute story from yesterday that happened with my DBF.

He is a sports reporter and was covering a local High School baseball game. He happened to catch a foul ball and was told to take it to the concession stand because every time you bring a ball to the concession stand they give you a quarter. He laughed and looked around and found a 4 year old little boy sitting near him so he gave it to him and told him to go get his quarter. Well, the little boy got very excited and trucked on over to the concession stand and came back with this BIG smile on his face and his hand behind his back. He walked right up to my boyfriend and presented his hands which held 5 pieces of licorice. He said 'for you! you gave me a quarter I got you some licorice' my boyfriend smiled and said 'thank you, but it was for you', the little boy got really excited and said ok, you can only have 1 piece then' Then he took the other 4 pieces and STUFFED them all in his mouth at once. It was so cute!

How cute.
My DS (6) has the DCL video memorized front to back........he tells me he is going to the clubs everyday and dad and I will just have to deal with it. He says don't worry mom you will have plenty of time to relax and enjoys it, maybe you should go to the spa and get a message. I won't have time, I have to make new friends! I was explaining to him how we would be going to the shows after dinner, and he says that he won't be eating dinner with us he's going with his new friends! I explained that there will be plenty of time to play with his new friends but, dinner will be family time. Okay he says but after that I'm going back. I told him no, after that we'll go to the shows........he says, how long do they last because the club are open till midnight. Do you think he has his mind made up or what?!?! It's too funny. He is an only child, and dearly loves all his cousins and friends...he can't wait!

Thanks SRUAlmn, he is quite the character. Sometimes I'm not sure if I should encourage him or discourage him....he started Kindergarten this year and he likes to be the center of attention.

Funny things:-

Does the cruise ship generate its own electricity? ( or does it have a long cable to Port canaveral)

Do the crew sleep on board??

As its Disney, does it run on tracks !

Why does the Midnight buffet start at 11.30pm?

as we were disembarking...out of our DS4's mouth was "Mommy, i don't want to leave. i want to live here!"

hey im 35 and i said the same thing to my DD and we almost stayed. i still dont know who cried harder DD DW or me. kids aren't the only ones who say the strangest things

My DS on his first cruise was 5 and when we went to leave he locked himself in the bathroom with the toilet. He wasn't coming out to leave the Magic. We plead, yelled etc. to no avail. He at one point said he would stay a long time, he even had a toilet! well after almost 20 minutes we had to call maintenance to open the door with a special key. It is funny now......well we have been back three times and now will do a repo cruise.....and DS will then be 10! Better not try it again, or amybe I will this time!

when we were onour cruise we got into an elevator with another family...the youngest looked at his older brother and told him he was going to hit him in the genitals! (yes he used another word!) the parents were mortified...and BF and I looked at each other and said "boys will be boys!"
YOu're on a cruise with kids...you KNOW you're gonna hear stuff that you'll just shake your head at!
Gotta love them!

My DS 4 1/2 was concerned whenever he saw Mickey walking around - he was wondering who was driving the ship while Mickey was away from the controls. Now that he is six the main thing he remembers about the cruise is the lifejacket drill of all things. That made the biggest impression on him!

 

[justmestace]

We were at the concierge cocktail party with Capt. Henry on the Wonder. He asked my DS (age 8) if he had any questions....my son asked him "Where does the poop go when you flush the toilet?" I thought I was going to DIE!
Capt Henry barely cracked a smile, and answered him!

 

[jlp651]

stace!
That was great...I woke up this AM and got on the boards..that was one of the first posts I read and copied it in a n email to BF...he'll get a kick out of that!!!

I swear DCL-or just disney in general must really work on that "not cracking a smile to answer the question face."

Thanks for brightening my day!!!

why the plane does not fall out of the sky

Don't know the answer to that one. But here is a childs question about "baby" airplanes. Is it "real"? ... probably not, but still funny - and it is a plausable response from SWA.


A mother and her son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago.

The son (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess.

So the boy asked the stewardess, "If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?"

The stewardess responded, "Did your mother tell you to ask me?"

The boy said, "yes she did".

"Well, then, tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you."

When we were docking in Cozumel, a little girl about 7 or so was at the rail on deck 4, chanting to the NCL Splendor of the Seas next to us, "Our ship's bigger than YOUR ship....our ship's bigger than YOUR ship....!"

On disembarkation morning we were waiting outside Parrot Cay for breakfast and there was a little boy crying inconsolably in his mother's arms. DH looked at me and said "that's how I feel too".
