Ever think “I should write that down” when your child says something funny?
I use Twitter for that. Here’re some Tweet-worthy comments from my boys.
Six-year-old Zachary
“Guess what, Daddy?” What, Zach? “I was the first one to see Santa after he ate his lunch!”
“I pooped extra for you.” Dad: “Why?” Zach: “So you can lift me up!”
“Dad, you heated this pizza so much I feel like I’m eating fabric!” Yes, he said fabric.
“I can’t be any more cuter than I am, I’m sorry to say.”
“Dad, I had perfect comic timing. I picked my nose, Momma laughed, and I didn’t laugh at my own joke.”
“Dad, can I have money for the stock market now? I am six!”
Zachary at dinner: “Why do cows taste like hamburger?”
Four-year-old Lucas
“Why did the shoe cross the street?” Mommy: “Why?” Luke: “So he could get to the other side and poop next to the chicken.”
“I like Santa. He’s my favorite person.”
“Mamma, how old do you have to be — to be an adult and be in charge?”
I so love you, Daddy. I so love you so much.
“I can’t do that right now. I already did that tomorrow.”
“Daddy, you scared my ears!”
Adoring Lukey, I said, “You’re very cute.” He replied, “You too,” and climbed into my lap.
I get lots of comments from engaged followers. Have fun with it.

What a perfect idea to tweet these! I have corners of pages, tiny notes and scribbles saved around for years…but no brilliant recordkeeping like twitter! I love “why do cows taste like hamburger?” What kids say is the best…I’ve often thought that every world leader should have a council of children in his advice/consulting sphere…

And I love Zach’s glasses – they are so cute! Can I plug a website? I ordered glasses for EIGHT DOLLARS from zennioptical.com – they are my correct prescription, and they are my new favorite glasses! Try it out!

What a great idea! You can look at all the archives when you need a good laugh. I asked 4-year old to use his indoor voice and he said, “My indoor voice is in the trees right now, Mommy.”

It was a more eventful weekend than usual at our house with many funny things so this was a timely suggestion. I dropped a couple on twitter and stopped there because I laughed so much this weekend sharing all of it would have been overkill! I’ve never been more entertained than with three boys in the house! 🙂 Thanks for the idea.

I was playing Halo 3 with my 7 year old son Jon the other day. As noted in other posts, he is a high functioning autistic kid. Anyway, he is also quite the gamer. So we were playing, he got me from long range, with a sniper rifle and looked at me, laughed and said ‘dude….’

Love this post. I always enjoy seeing photos of Twitter pals’ friends on twitpic or reading little blips of funny things they say. I’m old enough to remember the old black-and-white TV show, Kids Say the Darndest Things. It’s so true. Thanks for sharing the funnies.
