What was your little ones cutest saying?

Funny as it is to us, I can't post it here!

Oh, and when my son was younger (3 maybe), I waited tables and at the restaurant I worked in, you weren't called a waitress, you were always called a server. Well, we were out at that steakhouse where they crush nuts on the floor? We were out of town and don't have one locally, so I can't remember the name, but my son yelled across the room, hey servant, hey servant! I about died and had to correct him on the spot about both yelling across a room and also to inform him that it's a server, not a servant. He was so darned cute though that he always managed to get on the good side of our waitresses.

Every now and again someone will make a joke about him having done that.

No fair!!! Actually, I have one that I can't post here either.

DGD3 was visiting. I told her I was going to take her home, but first we had to drop something off at my friend, Mrs. Pickle's house. She thought for a second and asked " What kind of pickle is she?" I replied " a sweet pickle"

 

[cheerful chickadee]

ds used to say "no way hosey!" instead of no way Jose'. It was just really funny coming out of a 2 year olds mouth.

Also when ds was little I used to play "this little piggy" with his toes. One day he took his socks off and discovered the cotton fuzzies between his toes from his new socks. Jokingly I said "you have toe jam! stinky feet!!" he said "no momma, that is not a toe thing...it's, it's, it's....piggy jam!". We actually still use this expression to this day and he's 9 now. When I ask for the strawberry jam from the fridge ds will say "strawberry jam, not to be confused with that good ole piggy jam!"

You don't have to buy me that, I make enough money to buy it for myself now.

I used to love to hear my oldest DD call her sister "Come on. Bessie Boo."

I am not sure why she picked that nickname for Elizabeth -- but she did and for about two years that was all she would call her.

I can still hear her sweet little voice "Come play wit me, Bessie Boo" and Elizabeth answering "O-tay Towee"

<sigh> Where did those babies go?

Love all the sayings. As DS13 is sleeping in the living room ,taller than me-I remember when he said on finishing kindergarten-

"I don't need to go back next year, i already learned everything."

My oldest DD (12) used to say after a visit to the toilet “I can’t flush the change!” and instead of saying she was hungry she would say “I have a rumbling in my tumbling” (to this day I have no idea where she got that from)

My youngest (6) says “I had a bad night-dream”
and when you ask her if everything is alright her reply is “yep fandabbydoozie”

 

[GoofieRuthie]

I have 3 girls, and sadly I have more memories of my oldest when she was little. I'm a bad mommy, I know.

She had the cutest voice. She would say Prettyshade it! for appreciate it.

She loved the old Shake and Bake commercial. She would run in there and say, "It's shake and bake and I heeeelped!" then exclaim, "I love that mercial!"

My all time favorite, in her cute little voice was, "what doin?". Something about the way she said it just turned me to mush.


My youngest DD5 calls her daddy Dude. They are good buddies and play video games together. He would ask, "what do you want to play next dude?" So, she started calling him Dude and it has stuck. Now all of my girls call him Dude. DD5 is starting to outgrow it though. It's going to break his heart when she stops completely.

My favorite saying was when DD was around 2 1/2. She used to climb into the recliner with her Daddy and lay between his legs with her legs on the foot stool. She would ask to watch a moonie. Her favorites were around Halloween and she would say "ooh, scare moonie!"

She also could not grasp "forehead". She was 3 and we were trying to teach her body parts. When we would get to forehead, she would say three head. I would say no, that is your forehead. She would say no, I am 3. It is my three head!

 

[NMAmy]

When dd was about 3, at Christmas, as she'd pick up each gift, she'd exclaim loudly, "I bet it's sumpin' special!" Then after she'd open it, she'd say, "Look, Mama, it IS sumpin' special!" We just watched the video last week--it's darling. She wanted to know why I said that every time I open a gift so I had to remind her.

She would also tell me stories all the time that included "woofs" (wolves) and my favorite, "Snow White and the Seven Dorfs"

 

[thinkerbell]

When my son was small he would call a lawnmower a cut grasser and a turn signal a turn sniggle. We also still use these terms now.

"I love you more than dirt"

I love this one. My husband and I play the I love you more... game. I'll have to use this one on him.

 

[aloysius1992]

and instead of saying she was hungry she would say “I have a rumbling in my tumbling” (to this day I have no idea where she got that from)

Isn't that from the Winnie the Pooh movie series? I think it was a "rumbling in my tummy", but close.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

When my son was about 3, he asked me for something and I said "no." So he mumbled that I was a stupid mom. I said "What did you say?" And he got all flustered, and said "I didn't say you were a STUPID mom...I said you were a SUPER mom...in the whole in the world." Of course I smiled, so he caught on that it was a GOOD thing, and would always tell me "You're the super mom in the whole in the world."

When my granddaughter was younger and she would be trying to describe a bad odor she would always say:

"It smelled worse than old ham.. "

Still to this day we don't know where she smelled "old ham" - nor do any of us know what "old ham" smells like..

When my DD was little she used to go around reciting her own version of "Fee Fi Foh Fum".. Hers was:

"Fee Fi Foh Fum, I smell the blood of an english muffin.. "

 

[inaminute]

my 5yo calls the crust...stems!

My youngest called pizza crust "pizza bones," which it still is. Toll booths were also "troll booths."

"Look Grandma, I found Didneyworld!" Shouted by my grandson as we passed under the Welcome sign at Disneyworld on his first trip.

My current favorite is one my grandson just said last night as we were decorating our Christmas tree. He handed me an angel ornament and said, "Here Grandma, this is what you are."

 

[heart4pooh]

When my DS18 first began talking, we were at the dinner table and he passed gas. He looked up and said "I farbubbled!" For many years we called it that.

 

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

My DD4 told me the other day as she sat at the kitchen table looking out the french doors..."look, Mom. There's a hawking bird HAWKING on our tree..."

I think she meant woodpecker.

This same daughter is famous for busting a move without notice...in church, in stores, wherever a good song comes on. She can even be crying, sad about something....hands over her eyes...busting a move.

 

[LaLa]

Oh, there are so many!

My favorites are the songs that they mess up. At DS's school last year, they used to sing Lee Greenwood's song "God Bless the USA" every morning at assembly. In the part that says "And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free" ,

DS would sing instead:

"And I'm about to be an American, where the police don't know I'm free"


There is also a song by Third Day (contemporary Christian group) called Show my Your Glory. One part of the song says
"Send down your presence, I want to see your face..."

DS's version:

"Send down the presents...."

DD has really cute mispronunciations that just crack us up. For the longest time, she sang about the "Itsy bitsy bow-dah" and Dingo Bells.

When DS was younger and got scared about anything he always used to tell himself "Mommy gotchu" He'd repeat it over and over as long as the "scary situation" was happening, or at least until I scooped him up and gave him a big hug and kiss.
