My Kids say the Darndest Things

I like to accumulate quotes and funny conversations that we have with the boys or overhear between the two of them. Following are a few of them that I thought were funny.

Recent Quotes from Connor:

"You can play with me, but you have to know the answers"

"It's like a slumber party at the hotel" (trip to St. Louis)

"We have lots of grandparents, cousins, neighbors, and friends. That's a lot of people, but that's okay because we love them all."

"The pictures on the box mean that you have to buy them separately." (As he was referring to other parts of a toy that were not included)

"I am missing something - do you know what I am missing - it usually sits right next to the plate". (He was hinting to us that he was missing a drink)

"Brady - you're not supposed to fight with me. That makes me sad." (Brady's response was that they weren't fighting, he just wanted the toy back.)

"Let me see what time it is (as he grabbed his watch). It's 11 o'clock which means it's time for you to stop being grumpy." (Said to Brady during one of Brady's fits).

"What did he say? I don't know what he said. I don't understand" (talking about Brady)

"You don't have to get so upset - it's just a puzzle. You have to calm down and be nice." (Said to Brady)

"You have to ask to be excused from the dinner table when you are done eating. That's what big boys do." (Thank you Montessori)

"Mom, why was Brady grumpy this morning. He was okay last night. I will have to ask him when we get home tonight." (By the way, he did ask Brady later that night)

Recent quotes from Brady:

"Mommy, you made me cry. That wasn't nice."

"I need more - (after giving him more) - that's not more".

"I need to spank Connor on the butt" (this is said a lot when Connor is aggravating him)

"Connor - you are mean to me"

"Connor - you need to teach me."

"Mommy - daddy's not home yet - who's going to make my dinner". Of course, this was funny because my boys already know that I don't cook. However, Brady's concern was that he needed to eat dinner before he could eat his sucker."

The other night we were driving by the new restaurant, Grand Traverse Pie Company. I mentioned that we needed to go eat there sometime. Brady asked what they had and when I responded food, he said "I like food". This was said very excitedly (actually - he was delirious).
