Yes, Kids Do Say The Darndest Things
The Pea | Posted by Jannie on 28 August 2009 @ 7:15 AM 65 Comments

So glad I wrote down / remembered these funny / sweet things our Kelly said…
Age 4: “Will my bones fall out like my teeth, and bigger ones grow in?”
Age 5: “I’m so glad I’m a girl ’cause when I grow up I won’t have to waste my own money on a diamond ring.”
Age 5: “Mom, the kids at school are saying if you spend a lot of time in the sun your skin will get brown but that’s just nonsense ’cause everybody knows the sun bleaches things.”
Age 6: “Mom, when I have children I won’t tell them that I really love you the best, so I won’t hurt their feelings.”
Age 7: “Mom, I wish you’d met Dad earlier ’cause you’d have gotten to enjoy him more and I’d be a teenager now.”
Age 7. “She had a good luck omelet around her neck.” (Meant amulet.)
Age 7: (When I told her we’d visit Nova Scotia’s Tancook Island on our next trip) “Ooo, Tancook Island. What’s the population? What’s the main industry? Do they have universal health care?” ( I swear she said this!)
Age 7 (While throwing a mini-fit) “I have the right to be angry when I’m mad!!!”
Age 7: “I like your new shampoo, Mom. What’s that scent — vinaigrette?”
Age 7: (At KFC upon learning they had no spoons, only forks for her mashed potatoes) “These people so do NOT know how to live, Mom.”
Age 7. (At a bird blind where many yellow “Caution” tapes were draped on the outside of the one-way glass to, I presume, help prevent the birds from crashing into their own reflections) “That’s so stupid mom — birds can’t read.”
(Friend, if you’re wild about this post, why not hit the olde “Stumble It” button directly here below? Nothing’s gonna bite you if you do.) ![]()

Duly stumbled, my friend! Good morning! Love this post – all great moments. She’s a girl after my own heart – I think eating mashed potatoes with a spoon makes sense, too.

Jannie,
This is so great. I love her age 7 the best. You put a smile on my fact this a.m.
On 28 August 2009 at 8:32 am Erin Prais-Hintz said,
HILARIOUS! I am so tickled by those statements. I especially love her frugality at not having to buy her own diamond ring…I hope she gets a big one! She sounds like a true delight and has a great sense of humor like her mom.
Enjoy the day!

those are PRICELESS.
On 28 August 2009 at 10:40 am Holly Jahangiri said,
These are priceless! I’m glad you wrote them down – I wish I’d written down all the gems that popped out of my kids’ mouths over the years.
On 28 August 2009 at 10:58 am David said,
Kids do say the darndest things… I have 5 ages 23 – 5, trust me it never stops..
On 28 August 2009 at 11:16 am Jannie said,
Well, thank you sweet Lynn! Why not Stumble It, eh? And I see on my feed meter some Stumble Upon folks coming in. Hey, why not? If I think I can make someone smile or add a little value to someones’ day, I’m gonna go for it with your help, and of course I’m getting sooo famous (and rich,)
in the process. Yes, on the KFC mashed potatoes, especially seeing how runny they are with all that gravy.
Tess: Yay!! I’m so glad I’ve been saving these up. And am sure I’ll have more, with Kelly being so vocal and all.
Erin: My GIRL! On that whole diamond ring concept. I also remember her saying when she was 4 or 5 she’d like me to pick out her husband since I did such a good job picking our her dad.
Brandi: You’d love being with her! She’s such a shining star even when she’s mad and insisting on her right to be angry at those times.
Karyn: Thanks! And your idea that time of having her dress in a red tap outfit when she is 18 and put it in a frame alongside her 5-year-old photo of same is still with me — priceless too, thanks.
Holly: I’ve missed a lot too, I guess everybody does but we can “train” ourselves to jot these down. I guess being a blogger now has opened my sensibilites to these opportunities.
David: Hi! I’ve seen your gravatar around, nice to see you here. Wow, 5 kids with those age ranges, I bet your life is blessedly full and absolutely packed with these little gems too. I thought once she was past 4 years old these would stop coming, but they actually keep getting better and better — as does life in general.
Whee-hoo! Off to style my hair now, altho I’ll really have to work at is as I do need a trim. Shall I take the scissors into my own hands? Probably! Possibly even with good results.
On 28 August 2009 at 11:31 am Talon said,
Good luck with the hair!~
This is a fabulous way to start my on-line day! I’ll be smiling all day now so thanks Kelly and Jannie!
On 28 August 2009 at 11:39 am Ching Ya said,
These are the reasons why children are a joy to us all! I must say Kelly has some really cute moments in each and every year of hers, please keep them coming! I really had a good laugh and imagining her ’serious’ look at the KFC.. those are indeed priceless! ha.. smart girl! Stumble? You bet!

These are great Jannie! I love the “will my bones fall out” one!
And I have to share one of my own – from when my oldest was probably 3 or so. We’re headed down the happy highway, I’m driving, my wife beside me, kids in the back. And he looks down to *ahem* his nether regions and declares “Dad, will I ever be as big as you?”! My wife almost fell out of the car from laughter!! I almost crashed…
On 28 August 2009 at 1:21 pm Sara said,
Jannie — Izzy wants to say hello to Blue Bunny before I leave my comment. She said she’s slowly learning to understand how Blue Bunny talks.
I told her it had to do with where Blue Bunny was raised. She said it didn’t matter ’cause anyone who enjoys a few beers now and then is a good friend for Izzy:~)
Regarding this post, I’ve already stumbled it and now I can tell again how much I love your lists! Every time you write one, I get to laugh. I can’t believe you saved these…they are wonderful and thanks for sharing them:~)
On 28 August 2009 at 2:14 pm Aimee said,
I loved the one about the sun bleaching things. She’s definitely a “thinker” hey?
On 28 August 2009 at 3:10 pm Zeenat{Positive Provocations} said,
Hi Jannie,
Very cute and smart….like her mommy
Kiddies are so wonderful na. I have a 2.5 yrs old who has just begun to talk…and she says the funnest things. The new thing she says is “Its time to go”. Whenever she doesnt like something…she happily pulls me and says..”its time to go”..hhheeh..
I like your daughters age 7 comments the best. Oh she is gonna be great in a debate team in the future
On 28 August 2009 at 3:20 pm Ana said,
Jannie,
It’s lovely that you kept these sayings, and can look back on them, and even one day show your child.
I speak of similiar things. I find this is truth at it’s finest in form of sincerity.
On 28 August 2009 at 3:27 pm Paige said,
Kids, they are so brilliant!
I scared sorta like the bird keepers/savers…but Heck I’ll throw caution tape to the wind and see what happens….oh my …look out I’m stumbling….
On 28 August 2009 at 4:13 pm Heidi said,
cute, cute! My favorite of ALL is from my oldest daughter (who is now 21)…when she was five, she and I were sitting on the couch together. We were sort of snuggling, having a heart-to-heart. I said “I wonder what you’ll be when you grow up.What is God going to do with you?” Turning to me with eyes of wonder, she said in a completely serious tone, “Well,I hope I don’t have to be a sponge diver” hahahaha! (That is because of hammerhead sharks, that swim in the waters where sponge are harvested) It took everything in me not to laugh out loud, in the middle of this serious, somber mother/daughter moment.
On 28 August 2009 at 5:41 pm Positively Present said,
Great post! I was totally cracking up reading it.
On 28 August 2009 at 6:01 pm Caity said,
That is so freaking awesome. I love kids.
Once I read a bunch of lines that kids said when they described love. One I always remember was one kid saying, “Love is when two people put on a bunch of perfume and go around smelling each other.”
On 28 August 2009 at 6:06 pm Chris Edgar | Purpose Power Coaching said,
Heh, I loved the quote about Kelly saying she’d be a teenager now. Those of us who have been teenagers, of course, know that she should be careful what she wishes for.
On 28 August 2009 at 7:06 pm Jannie said,
Well my my hey hey.
Look at the comments here today.
Talon: The hair is good — just a nip and a tweak. Who says you need to spend a lot of money to keep yourself up? I do my own root coloring, my pedicures, manicures, dipilatory, and am know to brush my own teeth on occasion. Glad I got ya smiling. It should continue to be light and bright over here for the coming days, if not years!
Ching Ya — yes I will for sure keep track of the new ones. I can’t promise when I’ll have another 10 or 11 but I’ll be keeping them in a draft. And some she said years ago may even come back to me.
Lance: You remind me that I forgot to ask you readers if you had any gems from your kids too. Well, I should’ve known you’d come through, you keener, and with such an additon to this discussion of “gigantatic proportions.” Thanks!
And did your kid drive around naked in the back seat, or what?
Sara: You are so sweet to Stumble It — thanks! And blue Bunny as you may or not know, was raised by rabid otters in a beavers’ dam for his first year then moved to a den of blind bears for his next 6 months, so he’s had a bit of trauma. We’re working on things for him.
Aimee: That one was cute, yes. That was in Kindergarden. I remember the day well. April Sunday 2:00 p.m. Light showers. The morning had been sunny, but windy. 70 Degrees F. She had on her dalmation outfit and I my blue chiffon. I cried tears of ecstacy over the lemon pie we ate that evening.
Zeenat: You are so lucky to have all the funny / sweet things she will say ahead of you, and be able to record them all. Many I’ve forgotten. But they’re in my subconscious somewhere. Right next to the recipes for beer I have forgotten.
Ana: Well, I am humbled and pleased as punch at your visit and comment here. Thank you! I will enjoy checking out your blog and no doubt getting to know another BFF in you!
Paige: And when you throw that caution tape to the wind let’s hope a big bird does not come and peck you in the butt. Unless you like that sort of thing, of course.
I myself love some toe nibbles from turtles, preferably deaf ones who like tomatoes.
Heidi: Hi-dee ho, oh mysterious but nice commenter. You are like, the first commenter to not leave a link who has actually been nice. Well, I’ve only had two nasty commnents in 11.5 months so I’m doing great actually. I LOVED your story, thanks! I think I’ll stay away from sponge diving too when I grow up!
Thank you, sweet Positively Present! And how have you been lately? I am very much looking forward to reading your blog very soon. I was in C eh N eh D eh for two weeks , eh? Just got back Tuesday.
Caity: Oh I just love that litle story. I must Google Art Lnk Letter Moments and I bet there will be so much wonderful stuff to laugh at. Just the funniest humor there is I think , so sweet and innocent.
Chris: teenhood — wouldn’t go back to that time for anything, well I would — but with what I know now.
And the funny thing is, Kelly may well not have been born if we’d had kids earlier. And you with your two little guys, what fun stuff you have to look forward to out of their mouths. Record it! You may forget it.
Gotta go. My wine will be chilled now!

Those were great!
On 28 August 2009 at 8:48 pm Jeanne said,
Jannie,
Holy cow! Those are some good ones!!! Go Kelly!
It’s hard to pick favorites but a few jump out at me:
First, this gem —
Age 6: “Mom, when I have children I won’t tell them that I really love you the best, so I won’t hurt their feelings.”
That is just TOO cute. That comment sounds like it symbolizes her caring, thoughtful spirit (not to mention her wonderful bond with you)!
Then, there was this —
Age 7 (While throwing a mini-fit) “I have the right to be angry when I’m mad!!!”
That is just classic.
Next was this —
Age 7: (At KFC upon learning they had no spoons, only forks for her mashed potatoes) “These people so do NOT know how to live, Mom.”
This one cracked me up because I think KFC is the place with sporks, isn’t it?
My personal favorite, without a doubt, was —
Age 7: (When I told her we’d visit Nova Scotia’s Tancook Island on our next trip) “Ooo, Tancook Island. What’s the population? What’s the main industry? Do they have universal health care?” ( I swear she said this!)
DO THEY HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE? Now, THAT is just CLASSIC!!
I would love to meet Kelly in person. She is a stitch… just like her mommy!
Thank you for reminding me to do a better job capturing funny comments like these. I used to track them better. You have inspired me to do better… as I haven’t been writing them down like I should. (I get some but not enough).
Right now, we are enjoying the Harry Potter phase in our house. We started Harry Potter books once school let out this year and we’re on book 5. (She reads to herself and we read out loud. We do a mixture). She’s not allowed to see any movies for books she hasn’t read yet. We want her to read them first. So, she has seen movies 1-4.
Well, let me tell you… she is very entertaining!!! Her English accent is spot-on and she has a Crayola watercolor paintbrush that she uses as her wand. She casts spells all day, every day and never forgets to use her English accent. It is hilarious!!! If you could hear her accent and how long she can maintain it, it’s unreal.
We really ought to get video of her doing all of this Harry Potter stuff. Thanks for the great post! We really should get some video of her in action.
I will check out Stumble too.
Jeanne

You know, she’s right.

Well…there was that year we tried some alternative, new-age parenting techniques… — or — was it the year we spent at the colony…

I’m with Tess she was a cracker jack at 7. Those island visit questions are priceless. Think she’ll be a social anthropologist once she matures. What a great Mom you are recording this for her. She’ll be much more able to solve her right livelihood puzzle because you have.

Hey Jannie
I thought you had fell off the face of the Earth. When I jumped over here to see that you were on vacation I didn’t pop in on ya for a while. And here you have been blogging along the way. I am playing catch up. So looks like you have been having a beautiful vacation. This place is gorgeous I am so jealous.

Although they were all verrrry cute, I got a kick out of the Tancook hill one! You sure she was that young at the time? lol
On 29 August 2009 at 9:34 am Jeanne said,
I’ve been a lurker here, Jannie, but this post cries out for great, loud applause for both you and Kelly! Keep this up and you’ll have a book to write, and we’ll all be getting a copy.
I Love your blog, I love your humor, I love your beautiful outlook on life — and I love your blue bunny!
On 29 August 2009 at 9:36 am Jeanne said,
PS — when my son was 5, and we were doing a scenic Sunday drive, and stopped to buy a few sodas because it was a hot day, he said “Hey Mom, you’re not SUPPOSED to drink and drive!”
On 29 August 2009 at 9:41 am Jannie said,
Ahhh, such a lovely morning and all the better as I’ve staved off a migraine with copious water and 2 Excedrin Migraines. Is there any sound sweeter than a non-migraine whistle?
Anyhoo…
Hye Weyrdie: Thanks!
Jeanne: What a lovely long comment, thanks. Yes, wasn’t she sweet about not wanting to hurt her future childrens’ feelings. What an angel. And yes, classic on the having the right to be angry when she’s mad — I think that will forever remain a family favorite. Well, apparently Texas KFC’s (Or at least that KFC several weeks ago,) did not get their spork shipment. I haven’t always tracked them as well as I could have but I sure will from now on, keeping my blogger’s ear tuned in. We have not yet done any Harry Potter, but I can say when I go into my British accent Kelly shuts me up with in minutes, ’cause I, as your daughter, can go on with it ALL DAY.
And yes, — get as much video of her as possible!! It’s amazing how fast they change.
Avani: Sooo, you’re roped your husband into this funster madness too. Poor guy.
Cinderkeys: Yep, and with a stomp of her little foot on the dining room tiled floor and arms crossed, she made her point beautifully.
Lance: In 1986 I hung out at Wreck Beach in Vancouver and I may say it was the only time I’ve had an all-over tan. Yep!
Delightful Tom: She will be 8 in less than 2 weeks. Where does the time go? And what will she say next I can regale all you wonderful peeps with?
Tammy: Yes, I did indeed fall off the face of this earth a while, I hit this rare pocket of anti-gravity above my parents’ cottage and floated towards the moon for a while. And geez – does it start getting cold around 3000 feet. Real real cold, but by 7000 feet I was well preserved. Luckily the slow descent back thawed me out beautifully intact.
Shelia: Yep, sure as Im sitting here, we were having family dinner maybe 2 months ago, talking about out home and native land and how I’ve never been to Tancook and that indeed popped out of her. Her intellectual wheels have been spinning since I swear — day one. Even at 3 months of age she reached out and toppled block towers.
Oh Jeanne, lurker Jeanne: I am truly and deeply happy that you have come out of the shadows. Thank you, thank you so much. I see by my stats there are many of you and to meet you makes my day, if not my decade. How sweet of you. If I hadn’t already licked my migraine today your comment may well have done it for me. Oh, and see your othre comment now. That is just the cutest thought — drinking and driving, ha!

Those were hilarious! I love the things the littles say. My sister gave me a book that she’d made of the things my boys have said over the years, and I cherish it!
thanks for stopping by my blog today, and for the comments!

Wow, Kelly is really a thinker!
She could already be a teen-ager, n why does she want to be one now…?
Birds can’t read was great!
Thanks for the laughs-
I should get back in a few days
On 30 August 2009 at 5:50 am Jannie said,
Hello, my name is Jannie. I’m an Aries and quite fond of walking in the woods.
Hi Eileen: And she’ll be 7 for just another 12 days. Let’s hope she doesn’t become a pregnant teen, unless married to the love of her life and pregnant at nineteen would not be so bad, I guess.
Diane AZ: Howdy again. Yes, that cracked me up to no end, that Birds Can’t Read observation. So sweet the way kids’ minds work.
Hi Sweet Yaya: You are always so nice to come by here, thank you. And one of my deepest wishes is for you to one day be able to hear funny sayings come out of a little mouth that you love too. Always thinking about you and hoping for the best on your quest for parenthood. Always.
Renee: What an utterly sweet comment, thank you. I think it was a one in billion-billion combo of my best egg and Jim’s best sperm for that little angel that lights my life immeasurably. Thanks.
Well, hi Tammy — a new Tammy as I have one regular Tammy already and a 3rd who used to pop in but does not so much any more. I miss her. Anyway, thanks for YOUR visit.
What an incredibly sweet gift from your sister. She spends a lot of time with your kids? Or had you written the sayings down somewhere and she put them in a bound form for you?
And my dear Snag and Lil Truck are off and running again, to what I hope will be a happy time where she returns refreshed, rested and raring to rock and roll the blogosphere and our faithful Exit Stage Right hearts. Oh, Kelly wants to be a teen to wear those fashions, be generally cool and finally have boobs — altho if she’s like me, she’ll have to wait until she’s almost 15 for the latter.
On 30 August 2009 at 6:09 am G said,
Howdy ya’ll!
I figure it was ’bout time that I make a brief appearance at the bar..er…blog again.
I like #7, reminds me of when my daughter was in a rotten mood and said, “Hey, I’m trying to be bored here!”
On 30 August 2009 at 6:24 am Jannie said,
Dear G: Be they everso brief your visits here are everso sweet, my buddy. And hey, I’m trying to be bored here too, okay so keep it down. Actually, I’m going back to bed, still on Atlantic Time and don’t need to be up this early, but when I got up for a nature call I realized it was Sunday and of course I had to get over to Lance’s for his Sunday Thought Of The Day, one thing led to another and I’ve been on the net for an hour, now by the rivers of babble on.
nitey-nite!

What precious comments! Kelly is such a sweet, wise, smart, caring, and witty little girl. You’re lucky to have her, and she’s lucky to have you! What a wonderful woman she’ll grow into someday — much like her mom.

Different time zones can be troublesome.
Case in point: My mom left for an Alaskan cruise. This necessitated in flying out of Hartford around 6a to go to Seattle. There’s 3 right there.
And Alaska has four or five I believe.
On 30 August 2009 at 5:59 pm Jannie said,
Mama Z: Well, you would know hilarity — you unique funny (farty-telling,) eye-lash wrenching gal, you. P.S. I have never farted in my life.
I do toot like a bastard on occasion tho.
Happy Nadia: Yay — its Sunday, you will have a new Song Of The Day up and I know it’ll be great. As with Lance’s Sunday post I look forward to your Sunday one too, tho I’ve not yet been over there. I’ve been doing a lot of nutty stuff here around the house. I loved every single one of these too. Nothing but the highest quality programming over here in funstertown!
Shay: It is I who am humbled and blissful at your every visit here. When you drop in it’s like a big hug to my heart. Glad you didn’t mind my big burst in your direction the other day. I have missed you. A freaking shit-load of a lot have I missed you.
Thomma Lyn: Your comment brings wings of golden smiles to my heart. Thank you my dear girl, thank you sooo much. I will relay your sweet message to her. You are a true earthly treasure, you know that??
G: Really? About Alaska and the 4 time zones? I suppose up that close to the pole, eh? If I had a globe I would run and check it Right Now, but Kelly broke the base of it when she was 2 and I forever told myself, “one of these day I’m gonna fix that thang” but I never did so chucked it finally 2 months ago. (Musta moved it no less that 100 separate times in the past 5 years.) Now that I think of it I shoulda drilled holes and hung it from the ceeling. But I imagine a fine trash man got it in his son or daughter’s room now. It’s all good. See how things get recycled and the universal luuuuv just keeps on a-rolling??
heading to the lake now with Kelly and her little buddy.

Well, I can’t believe I am participating in something this cute, but here’s mine. My two year old and I were watching an old black and white TV show that I had told her was a favorite of mine when I was a child. “Dad” she asked, “Why didn’t the world have color when you were little ? “
On 30 August 2009 at 6:41 pm Patricia said,
delightful – Thank you
On 30 August 2009 at 6:57 pm Jannie said,
Oh Wade, that is just so precious. Sweet indeed, you old colorful softie you.
Oh, but no that old — it’s just an expression, of course.
Dear Heart Patricia: Thank you. xooxo I know you love sweet things like this and share them well yourself.

I think she’s right. It only seems fair that she has the right to be angry when she’s mad. I feel the same way.
On 31 August 2009 at 6:34 am Jannie said,
J.D. And do you stomp your little foot on the ground when you say that? Off now to publish Like A Bord On A Wire, 10 and make Kelly’s lunch for her first day back at school.

These rock!
My 3 year old recently sat in between my husband and I making her arms into cute little hook-shaped curves.
She said, “Mommy, can I hook you?” And she reached her arm around my back to hug me with one arm. Then she “hooked” her daddy too.
Sitting snuggly between us she announced, “Mommy, Daddy, I am a hooker”
We told her that was nice.
On 2 September 2009 at 1:21 pm Jannie said,
Helo, Sweeites.
Dot: Yep, she’s a one-off for sure! When I start airing her 7-year- interview she will probably amaze and astound where her little (big,) mind gets to.
Mia: Ain’t they sweet??
Valerie: Thanks. I’m sure your little pumpkin is very bright too. Actually — I know she is, I saw her on video over at your place.
Katie: THAT rocks!! I hope you will write them down — so precious. I let a lot of them slip by me. But no longer!
