That's awesome! And glad my DS has a comrade who has been a grown up. Who knows, maybe they used to know each other lol :grin: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824258 Wed, 23 May 2018 10:18:08 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2824258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love these kinds of threads.<br /> My almost 3yo also talks about when she was an adult, or "when I was your age". She told DH recently "when you were a baby I held you &amp; rocked you!" 😄<br /> She also just accurately gave me the last 4 parts of driving directions to a park we found last week. Like 'turn left on XYZ street, then turn left on ABC street, pull into the parking lot &amp; park our car, then we get out &amp; play!' Lol! 😮 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824128 Tue, 22 May 2018 19:47:40 +0000 irene 2824128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: Yikes! That IS creepy! LOL</p> <p>@hellocupcake: Yeah, 100 years ago when she was 3 or 4... in her past life.... lol</p> <p>Love all the stories! :heart: :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824112 Tue, 22 May 2018 18:45:12 +0000 wrkbrk 2824112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Randomly the other day my 2.5 year old started asking, mom, are you happy? Creepy, kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824106 Tue, 22 May 2018 18:13:30 +0000 californiadreams 2824106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when my son was 4 years old, he got very into the Magic School Bus, and started incorporating the phrase "According to my research" into everything. It was adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824104 Tue, 22 May 2018 18:07:17 +0000 hellocupcake 2824104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: I was working with a 5 year old today and she tells me about something she remembers from 100 years ago. I was intrigued but it turns out 100 years ago is “not like olden days, like when I was 3 or 4”... haha 🤷🏼‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824072 Tue, 22 May 2018 13:20:44 +0000 misolee 2824072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost six year old has been learning about presidents.<br /> “Mom, our president is Donald Trumpet”</p> <p>I died. I didn’t correct her either. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824046 Tue, 22 May 2018 11:56:57 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2824046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a new garage door, and our 2.5 year old is obsessed with asking why we got a new one. So we keep telling him the old one was falling apart and we needed a new one...that the men fixed it. Randomly, out of the blue, he goes and tells DH that "we got a new garage door because Pop Pop crashed into it. The men fixed it." I was dying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824043 Tue, 22 May 2018 11:48:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2824043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JCCovi: my 4.5 year old does this too- I just want someone to wipe me who is a girl and 37 years old... thanks, kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2824023 Tue, 22 May 2018 10:45:49 +0000 Mama Bird 2824023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: my kids both seem to think old people become babies again! For all I know, maybe they're right...</p> <p>This morning I gave DD some orange juice in a bottle. She started laughing and claiming it's tomato juice, so I said "fine, it's tomato juice!" Then she goes "you're supposed to take a tomato, squeeze it, and drop it in my bottle - plop! Only don't take the big tomato, take the little tomato, OK?" That was... very detailed. I think she actually expects me to drop tomatoes in her juice tomorrow :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2823969 Tue, 22 May 2018 09:59:19 +0000 irene 2823969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That's cute!<br /> @nwm: @JCCovi: awww hahahahha !</p> <p>No one's LO claim to be the reincarnation of someone, or have super powers, or see dead people?! lol :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2823900 Mon, 21 May 2018 23:21:00 +0000 JCCovi 2823900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: My kids also talk about their previous lives as grown ups! So funny!</p> <p>My 3 year old son has started trying to phrase requests for specific people (mostly me) as if he weren’t quite so picky. So instead of ‘’I want Mommy cuddles’’ he would say ‘’I want cuddles from a girl’’ ‘’Oh so your sister can cuddle you?’’ ‘’No, I want cuddles from a girl who is a grown up.’’ If we’re with family and there are multiple people who meet a description, he’ll just keep narrowing it down until he gets what he wants! I have no idea why he won’t just ask for who he wants, but I think it is hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2823898 Mon, 21 May 2018 22:38:06 +0000 nwm 2823898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>our house is really warm in the bedrooms, so i often sleep in just a shirt. this weekend my 2yo DS woke up (a bit too early) and as soon as i got him out of the crib and he asked to go to the kitchen, where it's quite a bit colder. i put him down and said, sure, just one second, i'm going to put on my pants. i guess this delayed his trip to the kitchen longer than he felt was acceptable because he sat down on the floor and had a full-scale meltdown, first shrieking and crying "don't put on your pants" and then "mommy take off your pants!!!!!!!!!!" all i could do was laugh at the poor thing, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2823894 Mon, 21 May 2018 21:43:03 +0000 Foodnerd81 2823894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shouldn’t laugh about this but my 4.5 year old has started crying “you’re ruining my life!” Or “you ruined my whole life!” Offenses that ruin her life include not letting her have ice cream, making her put her shoes or coat on, and not letting her run wild when it’s time to leave for school. It’s so hard to keep a straight face. </p> <p>She also thinks that when she gets really old she’s going to shrink back down to the size of a baby. I think someone told her old people can actually get shorter and she took it from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-things-your-child-say#post-2823885 Mon, 21 May 2018 21:19:01 +0000 irene 2823885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are some of the strangest things that your kids say?</p> <p>For a few years now, DS always say, "I have done this before when I was grown up", "I have been there when I was a grown up.", "When I was a grown up I did xyz". All the time. Now I think that is just some creative thinking because he has claimed he has been to xyz restaurant when he was a grown up, and xyz restaurant has just opened maybe a few weeks/months ago lol. He said he has a time machine. Thing is, if he had traveled from the future, shouldn't he remain a grown up ? I don't have a time machine so I don't know how that works :silly: . Thing is, how does he even come up with the phrase "when I was a grown up"?</p> <p>How about your LOs? </p>
