My next door neighboor's little boy (2 yrs) always says "it's darken" for it's dark. I think his mother used to say, "Ooooh, it's dark in here" and you know how kids are. This is the same child that loves to eat green bean a$$erole 
Hey, I've had green beans cooked that way I think.... every time I went to the lunch room in school!

When my niece was in preschool she refused one day to sing with the class. When the teacher asked her why she said she didn't like that song. The teacher asked her what song would she like to sing. She started singing "when two trailer park girls go around the outside around the outside", which of course is an Eminem song. How appropriate is that for a 4 year old. My sister was extremely embarassed when the teacher told her.

I've got a boatload of these, but here's a couple of recent ones:
My wife has been taking my children out shopping for school clothes and supplies one at a time. A couple of weeks ago, my six year old daughter went with her, and also got herself some cotton candy while she was at the store. Shortly after they got home, my 5 year old son complained to my wife that his sister was bragging about the cotton candy. She explained that when it's his turn to go shopping he can buy himself some cotton candy, too. Then he asked quite matter-of-factly "and brag?"
Over the weekend, my six year old son lost two teeth (his first.) The second one was a little more stubborn than the first, and took a couple of extra days until it was ready to come out. When he asked me to check it to see if it was ready, I noticed that it was barely hanging on by a thread. So I grabbed the tooth and plucked it right from his mouth, then showed it to him and said "When I can pull a tooth with my bare hands, it's ready to come out." Then he asked "What happens if you try it with mittens on?"

A couple of weeks ago I went to pick up my 4 year grandson. While I was there his dad dropped something and made the comment that he'd been dropping everything he'd touched that day, without missing a beat my grandson said "Well don't touch anything."

When my brother was little (many moons ago) he started calling watermelon "nunamo". We never knew why. He also called a washcloth an offcloth, at least that one made sense.

My three year old daughter has developed quite a fondness for Burger King and McDonalds....at least twice a week on the way home she pleads to go there for dinner. Finally I tried the little white lie, "honey, mommy doesn't have any money." For the first few times this appeased her and she simply quit asking....but then one day she shot back, "but mommy you work at a bank...the bank has money, lets go get some!"  - Smarty pants!
Well at least she doesn't think money grows on trees!

Nope, she is reserving that thought for when she becomes a teenager!

My 16 month old son is just figuring out how to put words together. He has bye-bye Dadda and things like that down. On the way home from my parents one day, as we were getting into town, he blurted out "I want McDonalds". My wife and I couldn't stop laughing for the next 5 or 6 miles (until we got to the McDonalds). He has never said it again but it was hilarious.

Took the kids to see downtown Chicago and Navy Pier. My 5 year old kept calling the Sears Tower the Serious Tower.

It was a good eye opener when one of my son's first words was "Target" - he'd get so excited when he'd see the bullseye sign or the ad. We were definitely frequent shoppers, but I didn't realize just how frequently we were there

Our 2 year old has started calling Daddy, "Daddio" and Mommy, "Momasita". She has also started using her sister's full name when talking to her. Every kid in her daycare class is her "best friend" and she must hug all the boys (she is the only girl left in there later in the day) before she leaves at night. When we go to the park and see some of the kids in her class, even though it has only been about an hour or two since we last saw them, they act like they haven't seen each other for a long time. It is too cute.

From a dinner table years ago..... T-girl was just 3 and dawdled over her dinner forever. The big kids would get tired of waiting for her, and sometimes were excused from the table before she was done. One evening, my husband and I were the only two still at the table w/T. Our son Chuck who was 14 at the time was walking by the table when she tooted. She thought this was hysterical and began giggling. He (stiffling his own laughter) said "What do you say sister?" She thought for a moment and said "Can you 'mell it?" We all tried not to laugh. Chuck was rolling and he said "No..." and before he could finish saying "...that's not what you say." she pops off and says "Well c'mere and you can 'mell it." Dinner was officially over. (still makes me laugh.)

That's funny... reminds me of my 6 year old who used to say "her butt made noise" when she "tooted". Try as we might to not laugh with her about it, so she wouldn't do it in public, the laughter was always contagious.

When my granddaughter was 2 years old she was attacked by a peacock at the zoo.....
She called me on the phone and said "Gannie, a keycock bite me. Tell Paw-Paw to keel it". The peacock actually scratched her arm....pretty badly. It has been almost 2 years and she still talks about it.
Paw Paw and I took her to the same zoo a couple of weeks ago. She was afraid but we assured her that we would not let anything happen to her. The peacocks were around, but we would casually steer her away or distract her until they were out of sight.
When we left.....She looked at my husband and said "Thank you Paw Paw". We thought she was thanking him for taking her to the zoo. He said "What about Gannie?" She said "Who keeled the keycock, you or Gannie?".

My friends daughter named her first cat "Gary" after a friend of ours that did a remarkable imitation of a cat coughing up a hairball. She was 4 at the time, and it was later found that "Gary" (the cat) was a girl, not a boy.
Her next cat, when Gary was hit by a car after running out the front door right into traffic, she named "Gary the black" because he was a dark tabby instead of an orange tabby. The second Gary was also a female. At this time, she was 5. Recently she adopted a stray, who she named "Jimmy". Go figure, Jimmy was also a female, a pregnant female in fact. So, when she was naming the kittens, we asked what she was going to name the kitten she had decided to keep. She named the little black female "Nighty", and when I jokingly asked why she didn't name it Henry (after an african american friend who was there at the time) she looked at me straight faced and said "because it's a girl, duh"..... Everyone there laughed as we looked at Jimmy and Gary II....

When my granddaughter was about 3 years old she was trying to explain to her Papaw what kind of swimsuit she wanted him to buy her. She couldn't remember two-piece but she did know she wanted the kind with a top and a bottom and a belly in the middle!!

LOL!
Should I be concerned that 3 year olds are wearing bikinis?
