You take her to get her hair cut as soon as she sits down I hear my name is C, but I'm called T. We have six kids in our family. I'm adopted and so are 3 of my brothers. My little brother is black, and one of my brothers looks chinese and Indian he is also hispanic like me . If I could have duck tape her mouth I would have lol.

What do your motor mouths say?

[qs mom]

My son is that way.

What's your name? Mine is Q I M. My mom is K. She's 44. I'm 7. Do you have kids? When did they come to live with you? la la la la la la

[aspenhall]

My dd will tell strangers there's a pill they can take if they wanna quit smoking....or she'll brag about how smart she is, or any other accomplishment.

Mostly she's shy and won't say much unless she's in a mood.

[momraine]

M will brag about throwing up. (which he just did again few minutes ago after weeks and weeks of not doing it!) I hate it when he does it at school, teachers think he is sick and want to send him home! He also talks to anyone he meets, strangers even and tells them about the lastest fight he had with his cousin or sister and he will tell everything every kid in the house ever did wrong.

[Barksum]

I have one very gregarious child who will introduce himself and chat about whatever is going on with ANYone who crosses his path. He knows the concept of 'strangers' but I don't think he really knows what a stranger is. (We keep going over it....) He also points out things about people; "You have a fat tummy." "My mommy has a mustache but she pulls it out with tweezers." Things like that. Also the 'I'm adopted and my tummy mom did drugs.' Never a dull moment!

I'm not positive, but I think it's not healthy to laugh as hard as when I read this!

My 10 yr old is VERY outgoing since we upped her Prozac, it seems to help her social anxiety a bit too much. She told my son's class today that I have a beard but I pluck it out. I wanted to crawl in a hole and die. The kids were clueless while all the other mothers started laughing and shaking their heads.

Same kid informed the bus that my kids don't wear diapers they are called pull ups. My kids were horrified to say the least.

just 2 weeks ago, after hearing a laser hair removal ad on the radio, dd commented that it's what I need...and "we'll have to get you that"....I shrugged and said, well it's expensive (I'm saving up for it, as my mustache now has turned to a full goatee)

a few minutes passed and she speaks up ourt of the blue and says...

"...cause your beard really creeps me out!"

*sigh*.....looking at me creeps her out...she even said it wouldn't be so bad, except my big yellow front tooth is bad too....(fake tooth from age 11 rollerskate accident)

Mine are the "Ask & Tell Police", meaning they think they can just ask anyone anything and then tell them what Mom (me) says about people/information.

"Why do you have a fake leg and does it hurt? Do you hop on one leg at night when you go potty or do you put your leg on first?" "My mom says everyone who has a disability has a super power. What's your super power?"

" Do you like sugar? My mom says sugar is what makes people fat."

"Why do you have a big car when you only have 1 kid? My mom says people with small families shouldn't have big Hummers like you do and you are just showing off"

"How come you threw that on the grass? My mom says people who litter need to have their trash piled inside their house to teach them a lesson."

"Why did you buy a brand new house when there are so many houses around here? My mom says building all these houses is stupid and it takes up too much land."

Sometimes I think I need to shut up, eh?

[paigeturner]

Mine are grown, but jeez you all took me down memory lane! My favorites are:

"You have puzz in your bewwy button...my dad doesn't have puzz in hiz bewwy button...my mom would tell him to make a sweater." (huh?)

"your bweath smells like poo. my mom says you must be bwacked up...bwacked up where?"

and when the oldest started to read signs, "mom??? why can't coal miners go into taverns?" re: no minors allowed.

[crick]

ROFL...Bwacked up! LMAO!

My kids would totally say that if I ever used that term!

[buttascotchbaby]

Imagine my surprise when my now 6 y.o. was in kindergarden last year and I went in for a "Mommy & Me Tea party" and one little girl from her class asked me: "are you "S's" mommy?",

"yes", I replied.

"They let you out to come to the party?"

"What do you mean, I was a little late getting here but I just had to come from home"

"Yeah, but they let you out to come all this way?"

"Let me out of where?"

"You know; the jail"



I then realized that my little blabber mouth who saw absolutely no shame in being in foster care (look at all the fun things we get to do: support group, water park, parties, et., etc.!) had told her class all about her BIO MOM who was in jail on drug and assault charges!! Lovely, now all the class thought that was me! LOL

In the car on the way home I told her:

"You know, some things are family business and not everyone needs to know about them".

"Yeah", she said, "that is what Mrs. W (her teacher) says too!". LOL

[Barksum]

ROFL My friend had something similar happen to her. While in line at the grocery store her foster child was asking for candy, "Mom, can I have a candy bar? Mom, can I have gum?", and she kept saying no, we're going home and having dinner, etc. Her foster child accepted the "no" with good grace, but decided to look for other entertainment and so started talking to the man behind them in line. "Hi! I'm C. My mom takes drugs and has sex with men in cars." My friend wasn't going to explain the whole foster thing, so she just smiled weakly and finished loading up the groceries. I laughed so hard when she told me about this!

[kakuehl]

Wow, I must say this thread is great for healthy laughter! My grandchildren will soon be the right age for the fun comments. (One of the joys of being a grandparent and not the mommy!) My suggestion is to make sure you write them down... memories don't always remain as clear as we would like... besides, it'll make great reading for their boy friends and girl friends.

We were running late and I made the mistake of letting FD (4) dress herself before Wednesday night church. She announced on the way in "I forgot my panties!" At least she was wearing shorts....
