Who wants to share some funny or cute stories?

It's a grey and boring day, so how about some happy stories...I'll start....


When my sister and I were little, we were awake earlier than our parents one Sunday morning. We saw something in the yard (We had seven acres of mostly fields then) so we tried to wake up mommy to tell her "There's a cow in the yard!" "No no" she said "Go back to sleep". My sister tried to wake up my father "No, it's just a deer" he said. "No, REALLY! There's a cow outside!" my sister and I pleaded. "Go back to sleep or play quietly for a while. We'll get up soon" my parents said.

OK so we did. But a few minutes later we looked outside and there were MORE cows. So we went back "Mommy...there's more cows and they have horns". "No, no, she said "they're are daddy deers with antlers".

So back we went to play.

Shortly after that my parents got up...and saw 50 long-horned steer in the yard!

Apparently someone down a little dirt road near us had them (We never even knew!) and they broke the fence and got loose. My parents called the police and several cop cars came screeching up our driveway (OK, it's a very small town - this was big time excitement!!). The police called the owner and we stood on the porch and watched the police and some farm hands herd them home.

To this day we still once in a while say..."Hey dad, there's a cow in the yard".


Next???

I live in Vt, but I was not raised here, so some might consider me a "flat-lander." I proved them right one summer during college. I was on my way to work at about 5AM driving my future MIL's brand new Chrysler New Yorker, when I noticed something big and brown running along side of me in the median. I stopped at the laundromat up the road and callled 911. I told the dispatcher that some farmer's mule had gotten loose and was in the middle of the road. The dispatcher asked if I was sure it's a mule, because there are no farms in that area. I said of course.

When I got to work, I told everyone my tale of my near miss with this mule. I explained that I had never seen a mule so big with such tall legs. The maintenance person where I worked busted out laughing, when he told me that my mule was actually a moose.

I still get teased about it.

Hey, give me some credit, at least I knew it wasn't a horse!

My sister (who just turned 21) was being bad many years ago. My dad told her that she need to stop or she was getting a lickin' (spank on the bottom).
Well she continued whatever she was doing, and he reminded her again, One more time and you're getting a lickin.

Well she did it one more time, my dad stormed over to her, she began to cry No daddy NO! Im sorry! (C'mon who wants to be spanked?)

He picked her up crying, and proceeded to lick her face! She still cried while the rest of us laughed!

Here's another one. I was 11 when my brother was born, and really enjoyed watching him grow up.

When he was about 3, he begged my mom to take him to the grocery store with her. She said no, because last time he didn't behave.

He said "Pleeeeease, I promise if you let me go, I will be real have."

These are so cute! Thanks for sharing!!!


Denea - "real have" reminds me of what my nephew used to say when he was little. I had a cat named Miami. When he was talking about my cat he would always say "Your Ami".

Here's mine, my DD had just turned 4:

She was in my dad's den with him (she loved to play "office") and was scribbling away on some paper. Here is what happened:

Ddad: What does that say?
DD: It says I love you Papa!

DD scribbles away some more.

Ddad: Now what does that say?
DD rolls her eyes and says: How am I suppose to know-- it's in FRENCH!

DH and I are part of a neighborhood Bible study group that has a lot of ethnic and culturally diverse families involved in it. This is great fun for all of us, but the kids seem to get the most benefit from it. Here are some examples of "clues" to how they are experiencing our community group:

Mei Mei, a (then) 3 year-old Chinese-Caucasian girl:"Be careful, that's where Sammy is sitting."
Me: "Who is Sammy?"
Mei Mei: "He's my imaginary friend. He's African-American."

Riley, the 4 year-old daughter of a Black woman from Dominican Republic and a Scandinavian/Irish dad: (speaking what sounds like gibberish to me) "Auntie B, do you know what I just said?"
Me: "No, Riley, I didn't understand you."
Riley: "You must not speak Chinese then. I spoke Chinese when I was a baby, but I don't remember it anymore."
Me: "How did you learn Chinese when you were a baby? Your mommy and daddy don't speak Chinese."
Riley: "Duh! I just knowed it! But now I don't know it any more. Maybe someday I can go to Chinese-land and then I'll know Chinese again."

The best was the day that Riley's family moved into a duplex with Connor's family. Connor, also 4 years old, is a very pale, blond boy whose father is French and his mother is an "American Caucasian Mix" as she describes herself. I watched Riley and Connor at the local park while the rest of the group was moving all the furniture and boxes into the new house. Riley and Connor are the best of buds, and they kept calling each other "brother" and "sister". This was very confusing to the other people in the park, because Riley is clearly of black descent, and Connor is clearly not! I had so many questions about those two that day, but they remain blissfully unaware that anything is odd about them calling each other "brother" and "sister". Too cute!

Hi.
When my DS was 2 we were at a birthday party and this adorable little girl with long blond hair walked in and he was infatuated. He turned to me and said, "Mommy, I'm going to have hair like that when I'm a girl."

When my now 18 yr old was eight there was something on the news about a serial killer. My son turned to me and asked "Why would anybody kill somebody over cereal?"

 

[heart4pooh]

I've got another one. When my 18 yr old was ten, I was very pregnant with his now 7 yr old brother. I had been talking to somebody about the possibility of having to have another c-section. Not long after, my son came to me with a friend of his and said "Tell Stevie that I was born in the ocean." I said, "What??!!" He said, "Wasn't I born by the sea section?"

This is slightly funny, more amusing to me.
It was my first Christmas with my dad's girl friends family (they are no my step family and I was five or six). So this was a moment to be remembered so they took out the camera. We really did not remember what happened that day so a year or two back we put on the video. It started out innocent. Just all the kids putting up ornaments. Until I put up an ornament that was my step brothers "only". He started to yell at me, and then i yelled back. So this video shows me and my brother screaming until we all got placed on time out. What a family memory.

I'm a kindergarten teacher - kids provide very funny lines....

When a child came to my class not knowing how to speak english at the beginning of the year, I had to rely on the other students to interpret for me. One day I asked one of my girls how to say "be quiet" in spanish. She proceeded to put her finger over her mouth and say "shhhhhhhh"! I had to hold back hysterical laughter - it was so cute and innocent (not like this girl)

I had a situation where two boys were trying to look under a girl's skirt one day. So in talking to them about why they should not do things like that, I said "How would you feel if someone did that to you?" and one of the boys turned to me and said, "but we don't wear skirts".

Kids....

My nieces spend the night at my house pretty often. They are 3 and 5. Every morning, when they wake up, they sneak into my room and crawl into bed with dh and I to wake us up.

So, one morning, the oldest crawls in bed, and we were laying there chatting about what we would do that day, when she looks at me and says, "When I get big I'm going to be white too, like you." (Their dad is African-American, their mom is Mexican and Caucasian). The girls are brown (that's what they say- ).

It was too cute! But, I had to tell her that she would always be brown, and that was ok too- God doesn't want us all the same color. She was satisfied with that, thankfully!!

My maiden name is Johnson, I am white. My DS7 (at the time, now 9) insisted that I was related to anyone with the last name of Johnson, "you MUST be cousins, you have the same last name." He was thrilled to think that he was related to Deion Johnson, Magic Johnson and etc.

I asked him once when he was younger, "did you just fart?" He said, "No, that was my butt talking to you!"

We have a grocery store called Acme, we were driving by and I said to me then DD3, "look, there's the Acme." She said, "No mommy, that's the Ac-You!"

I've got one. When my sister was about five and my brother was about seven he was trying to be 'the big brother' who knows it all and was telling her there was no Santa and making her cry. My mother took him aside to gently explain to him, "Now you're a big boy and you know there's no Santa and no Easter Bunny but she's little and she doesn't know." and he looked up at her with huge eyes and trembling mouth and said, "Th-th-there's no Easter Bunny!??"

My poor mother. She said she felt so awful and that story has been a family classic ever since.

I have an older brother and sister (they are 7 and 6 yrs older than me). But when we were young and I was around 5 it was the night before Easter. So my brother and sister decided to help me color easter eggs.We colored them and when we were done they handed me a crayon and told me that I can draw and write on the eggs. They were telling me what to write and needless to say they were all curse words. (which I didn't know at the time)

About an hour later I was so excited to show my mom that I called her down stairs to look at the eggs I colored on. She started screaming at me when she realized what I did.

Later that night my brother and sister said they felt bad for getting me in trouble that they offered to hide the eggs and I can go find them. So I went up to my room until they were all done. They called me out and I searched and searched for the hidden eggs as they sat there eating treats and watching tv. About an hour goes by and I couldn't find one egg . So I said to them "I can't find any eggs" and they said "that's b/c there aren't any" all non chalant . I was so upset after that. But now we laugh about it all the time.

When my DS was about 6 or 7 years old, he and my nephew were both into Davey Crockett, they had coonskin caps and replicas of his rifle "Old Betsey" and watched the old Disney series. One day I had both of them in the car when my DS was asking how Davey Crockett died, I said, you remember I told you about the Alamo. My nephew piped up from the back seat, "Davey Crockett is dead???" He was shocked! I quickly called my brother and explained I had no idea he didn't know!!!!!! DS is now 18, nephew is 17.
I have another nephew (my sister's son) who is now 10, he got an Elvis CD about 2 years ago and loved it. He called me to ask if I knew Elvis had died!! Seems to be a trend in my family!!

When DS was five he was taking developmental screening test. They were showing him pictures and he would name them. They showed him a picture of a hinge and he could not name it. He simply replied "I don't know but I think you can get it at Home Depot".
