Prune juice comment

We're reaching the point with our 16-month-old that we're starting to hear real statements. Sometimes it comes out exactly the way she's thinking it "That's a dog!" and we're starting to have to be VERY careful about what we say around her.

So a couple of weeks ago, my dh and I gave our dd some Gerber apple-prune juice, since she hadn't pooped in a few days. She hadn't had it before. Took a sip and handed it back to my husband, saying, "This is s**t". We rolled on the floor, we laughed so hard. For all we know, she was trying to say, "This juice", but it came out perfectly the other way... and so darn appropriate -- prune juice is nasty!

Talking

I just wanted you to know you cracked me up with this little story!! I laughed out loud -- and I am all by myself!
My God Daughter is three and frequently goes places with me in the car. For a long time now, we have "watched our language", but most assuredly, when she was smaller, she was a passenger in many a car where, in a fit of frustration at being cut off or otherwise disrespected by other drivers, someone has said, "a$$hole!" when addressing the offending driver!
The other day, we were on the way somewhere, when a guy pulled out right in front of me, and I GASPED! Shaela asked me what was the matter, and I said, "that guy up there pulled out right in front of us!"
Very offhandedly, she said, "Don't worry, Aunt Sally, he's just an "A$$HOLE"!!!
I nearly died!!!! It was hard to keep from laughing, but I kept my amusement to a minimum so as to not encourage her use of that language....but it really DID crack me up!
Thanks for the laugh this morning!
Hugs,
Sally

My eldest angel used to call prune juice, "poop juice," since that is what we used to combat occassional constipation.

I spent the night at my 2 year old birthdaughter's house and she woke me up in the morning to chat. She asked me what I wanted for breakfast and said "Would you like some juice or milk or maybe a beer?" Her parents were so worried that I would think they fed her beer for breakfast!

kids say the funniest things...

The other day we wanted to take a photo of my 4 year old dd with her 1 year old baby cousin. We wanted the baby in my dd's lap, but baby kept trying to crawl away. We told my dd to "hold her sitting up in your lap", to which she replied, "I'm trying, but she doesn't work!". We were all rofl, and the pic came out hilarious!

Hahahaha

Those stories are too funny!

My friend's little girl was getting time-outs for bad language and her mommy cussed at another driver one day and her little girl gravely said, "Mommy, bad words. But I no put you in time-out, k?"

When my nephew was four and my neice was a few months old, my sister was driving and the baby kept crying, so she told my nephew to put her passy in for her. The baby KEPT crying--and even harder now, so she asked him to do it again. He said, "Mommy, I'm pushing as hard as I can, but she won't quit!"
