Aren't kids the best?

I just tried to post this and I don't think it worked, so I hope this thread isn't posted twice, but...
I was at a hockey game on Friday night, and during one of the breaks, all these tiny kids (4 or 5 years old) went out on the ice to play a mini game for 5 or 10 minutes. In the middle of the action, one of the goalies threw down his stick and proceeded to lie down on the ice and make snow angels in the fluffy stuff that the skates had kicked up. One of the coaches tried to get him up, but to no avail. The other team scored a goal (the puck must have been moving at about .5 miles per hour) and the kid just stayed there on his back, flailing his arms and legs and having a grand old time. It was one of the best things I've seen in a long time. I feel like reading stories about kids doing hilarious, adorable things. So if you have any, you should post them, maybe.

i hung out with a friend's kid this weekend. she was totally adorable. except when she took a big shit in her diapers and kept sticking her hands in it.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Monday, 12 April 2004 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it does like he's dying. And he is sort of fat.

I think I've told this one before. I used to "have kids," i.e. for 3 1/2 years I lived with a woman who had kids, and they called me Dad, etc. Early on in this, when they were all very young, it was extraordinarily hot (Kansas City, summer, the floods of 1993), so we gave the kids some ice cream, but only after they were done eating their sandwiches. The oldest, still very young at the time, was the kind of kid who was easily distracted, so as soon as she saw the ice cream, she ignored her sandwich entirely and just kept talking about ice cream and how much she'd like some ice cream and boy wasn't ice cream great and could she have some ice cream now please.

"[So-and-so], you can have some ice cream after you make that sandwich disappear."

Fwoop. One hand shoots out in a gimme-gimme motion for ice cream just as the other one tosses the sandwich behind her back.

(Her little sister promptly picked up the sandwich and started to eat it.)

I used to work at a movie theater, and one day while I was cleaning one of the auditoriums (the movie showing was "the Country Bears") and this little 4 or 5 year-old kid and his parents were getting ready to leave as the credits finished. While I was cleaning and sleeping the aisle before theirs, the kid said, "You know what I liked about the movie?" and I said, "What?" He responded with a sigh, "The bears..."

I am one week into "Mr. Mom" role solo, with a 9 week old. Totally, totally amazing. For all the hours of tedium (I try and jam exam review in if/when he sleeps), he will just spontaneously shoot me a smile that gaaaah *melt*.

When infants smile, it's like, bigger than their faces! Sorry to be.. y'know.

my littlest brother says 'upsad' instead of 'upset'.

Do not misunderestimate him; if he keeps it up, he may grow up to be prez.

I passed this kid walking with his mum. She was filling him in on why it is a bit rude to ask a stranger what religion they are (I live in a very orthodox/hasidic jewish neighbourhood). He looked up at her and said "but WHY, mum? How am I supposed to LEARN anything if I can't ask?"

Classic :D

I was at school one day and I had to stay in the after school program taht day. I hadn't done that in a while, and I had forgoten how boring that is. All my friends had been picked up already. So, I was just sitting on the bench and waiting for my mom. Then all of a sudden, I heard this one girl, who was probably in the fourth grade, say, "How did you know my name?" Then this other fourth grader, with a jump rope wrapped around her arms and neck said, "God knows everything." Then the girl ran and then another girl with a jump rope started talking to her. She began to run again, looking terrified.

I go to Catholic school. Haven't they taught these kids they shouldn't be playing God yet?

My cousin's kid is really into knights, castles and all things mediaeval. He's only 4, but already has an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. He was showing me various toy soldiers and, picking one up, said "This one's an Egyptian". I asked him how he knew. "You can tell by his helmet. Of course", he replied.

Of course.

Last nights..

Alice (4) drawing and announcing she's making an Easter Egg card. After a few mins of circle drawing and dotting, she announces that she has drawn a lizard inside. OK, fine. So, ten mins later, she shows Nana her card. "Oh look, that's a good lizard, you can see its teeth as well." "THAT'S NOT HIS TEETH! THAT'S HIS BLANKET!" she boldly announces, and wanders off with a sad 'everyone is thick' shake of her head. So we all have to bite our fingers rather than laugh...

my mother was standing behind a woman and her little daughter in the supermarket queue just before Easter. The little girl was holding a chocolate Easter bunny. "Ooh, an Easter bunny!" said Mum. "No", said the girl sternly. "An Easter rabbit".

Mum: "Yes, but they call them Easter bunnies don't they?"

Girl: "No, Easter rabbit".

Mum came to the conclusion that the girl's mother didn't approve of "baby talk", but of course that's just one possible explanation....

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

what does "architectually correct" mean?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 09:01 (twenty-two years ago)

he means it looked exactly like the real Parthenon.

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, you mean "architecturally correct." I understand, now.

so, did this lego model look exactly like the real parthenon in its present state or in its originally completed state?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Girl: "No, Easter rabbit".

This wasn't in Newcastle was it? This sounds like Alice as well...

There was a woman on 5Live this morning, on a phone-in. She was saying that she was going to send her son to be educated privately at a Steiner school, because she disagreed with compulsory testing at seven. But instead of calling him her son she referred to him as 'my little one', consistently. Then she raised the possibility of having another 'little one'. It was infuriating, because her tone wasn't tender, or twee in any other respect. She was being all indignant. I really didn't like her.

I like kids, though.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 09:57 (twenty-two years ago)

My siblings and I went to a tiny, Lutheran elementary school attached to a church, and whenever anyone from the school or church was ill or had a loved one pass away, all the little kids at the school would make cards, usually with a Bible verse or something inside. When my sister was in the first grade, the father of a woman from the church died, and the first graders made cards. My sister's: "Roses are red, violets are blue. Your dad is dead. I feel sorry for you."
Needless to say, the teacher quickly weeded this card out from the stack and made sure it was never delivered to the woman.

― kirsten (kirsten), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, that's fantastic. That definitely makes me think kids are the best.

Inscription on a mother's day card from my sister:

Of all the flowers covered in dew
I am the sweatiest flower for you.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Did the mom read it aloud and did your sister say, "No. It's sweetest flower." Or, did she mean to put sweatiest?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

No, she meant sweetest. She still takes it personally if we have a laugh about it, hehe.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Then how come she didn't spell it "sweatest"?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

calm down.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Did I say, "WHY DIDN'T SHE SPELL IT "SWEATEST"????? IS SHE STUPID????"

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

you were wrong.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

No. Because you are not six or dyslexic.

No, but I've always wondered if I was dyslexic. I have a cousin that is. But apperently, I get so many good grades, there's no way I could be dyslexic, at least, I think that's why my parents haven't wondered if I am dyslelxic.

That cousin was supposed to come and visit me tomorrow, but she's not coming. :,(,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

About fifteen years ago, my cousin, who must have been about four at the time, was watching her mom rush around the house, looking for her car keys, shouting to the kids to hurry up and get their shoes on, just generally freaking out. My cousin sighed and said, "Remember, mommy. Patience is a virus."

Spencer's teacher sent home a note earlier in the year about his reading aptitude - apparently he scored really high on the standardized test, and she wrote 'superb' on it - he gave it to me with his little face shining and said 'look, Mama, she gave me a super b!!!'

When I was about 19, I was a nanny for a 3 year old. Her mom was working one night around the 4th of July, so I took Chelsea to see the fireworks, and she was completely rapt, lots of ooohs and aahs all over the place, then she turned to me and said, 'look Aimee, that one was all green and silverware!'

"What was your favorite moment of this past season? What was so special about it?

I would have to say my favorite moment of this past season is when the keys to a brand new Jeep were put in my hands at the US Open. I didn't have a car or a license at that time, so I was psyched to the max!

What was your favorite event this year?

My favorite event this year was the night Grand Prix contest at Park City. The pipe was just so incredibly good, and the crowd was huge, the energy was flowin' and people were flyin!

What type of movies do you like?
I like movies that are realistic and funny.

What is your favorite movie?
I don't really have one, but one that I saw recently that I did enjoy watching was K-Pax.

Why do you live where you live?
I live where I live because a long time ago my grandma had a calling from the man up above to have the whole family move to the land where they were located. My parents after being told this and a few years time decided to move across the country to Vermont, where I was born, raised, and still live today.

What's your favorite food?
My favorite food is Lo Mein, ummmm good!

What do you drive? Is it tricked out or pretty standard?
I drive the Jeep Renegade. I got most of it for free so I pimped it out as much as I could, ya know, leather seats, sunroof, might get some happenin' rims to put on it.

You told us what superpower you would want – what name would you choose if you had a superpower?
The name of my super power would be Hallelujah!

How about sharing some freestyle rhymes?
If I knew
If I only had a clue
Where my feet would walk me
And what my eyes would see
The places I'd visit and the people I'd meet
The things I'd get to do, such a treat
Sometimes overwhelmed, having to take a seat
This life I live is off the charts
Staying smart, and taking part
In all its attributes, that is the way
And that's all I have to say
Until another day

Live it. Love it. Enjoy every minute of it! "

My dad got a bit mad at me one time because everytime I'd talk to him and he asked about my mom, I'd say "my mom." You know, "My mom took me there."Or something like that and he told me to call her "mom."I didn't relize it was sort of a bad thing.

― Aja (aja), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah you could interpret "inside hands and feet [and voice]" as a means of keeping children docile, I kinda think of it more as a means of A) keeping furniture/child unbroken, B) keeping certain kinds of play (ie those involving balls, bats, frisbees, etc) outdoors where the chances of breaking something/someone are greatly diminished, C) a more twee/kid-friendly way of instructing a child in basic etiquette, and D) a way to keep my hearing intact and my testicles (which reside at toddler-punching level) unpunched.

I'll tell you what - you have a young'un and let them run around screaming indoors as they would outdoors and report back to me on how well that goes for you & your house.

okay two quick ones

yesterday on the ride home from soccer practice Emma and I were cracking up because there's a girl on her team named Caroline and every time someone was yelling for her it sounded to me like the beginning of OutKast's "Roses" and that's Emma's favorite video these days so we were imagining what would happen if soccer practice got interrupted by Boi and Sleepy Brown yelling "SPEAKERBOXXX!!!!" and there was a big fight. I love it when we both crack up at absurd scenarios.

and the other day Sam decided that he didn't want to be an astronaut anymore. why? "I might vomit." oh, then what are you going to do? "Instead, I will be an actress in space movies." okay. my son, the actress.

seven months pass...

a few months ago, I was sitting on a bus and on the seats across from me were a mother and a child.

For whatever reason she suddenly wanted to tell her something corny, and told her "You can do anything you want as long as you believe in yourself, remember that"

then about half a minute later, the girl digested what her mum told her and replied really politely "thank you mum for letting me do whatever i want"

it was so goddamn cute. The corniness totally got pwned, and the mother had to explain, pretty badly if i remember, what she meant.

My littlest sister is fifteen years younger than me. Once when she was three or four, the whole family was seated around the table. I was talking about college, there was talk of politics and property, blah blah blah. She was silent throughout the whole meal when finally, in a silent lull in the conversation, she found her in's and said, with a flip of the hand, palm up:

"Old MacDonald had a farm..."

We all just looked at her, realized that she was just trying to add to the dinner disucussion, and just laughed. She, of course, started crying, which really didn't dampen our laughter any. To this day, if there's a lull in the conversation I'm having with my now-fifteen-year old sister, I'll say "Well, ya know, Old MacDonald had a farm..." and get promptly punched (hard) in the arm.

I used used to deliver kids furniture. When people ordered delivery they'd get free set-up, which I'd also do. The kids I encountered in the 4 years I did this job for ran the gamut from despicably spoiled shits to the most awesome/adorable kids ever. Normally when they see they're getting all this great new stuff they can get kind of overly excited. On one occasion, while I was putting his bed together, this kid was just rambling like mad; "Did you know I have a cousin in Cawifornia? Did you know his name is Charlie? Did you know how big dinosaurs were? Did you know my dad's a big gonad?" He stopped there as we interrupted him with 5 minutes of hysterical laughter. His dad, who was with us in the room, just kind of rolled his eyes as his kid ran up and hugged him saying "That's right. Dad's a gonad."

Today my subway was held in the station for several minutes. A five-year-old fellow passenger turns to his dad: "Is the train very tired today? Will it have to rest here very long?"

Yesterday on the subway, a little girl sitting next to me: "Excuse me, papi?"
Me: "Yes?"
She: "I just wanted to tell you, you know, your jacket's really fly."
Me: "Thank you!"
