Kids truly say the darndest things

Cosby hit the nail on the head....kids say the darndest things.

In a child's world everything is black and white. They say what they think or feel when they think or feel it with absolutely no filter. My kids, as i'm sure yours have too, often say things that have me laughing so hard I almost pee my pants. Of course I have to wait until they leave the room because sometimes I don't think repeating these things in a more public setting should be encouraged by me cracking up hysterically.

I've often shared these stories with friends who have then shared them with their friends. A good handful of these people have told me I need to write a book. Kind of the same idea as "Sh*t my Dad says" only the toddler version. I decided the internet would be an easier way to capture and share these moments.

Which leads me to today. The day "What does the Toddler say?" is born. So without further ado let me share a gem from the Vault of stories that comes from our older daughter M.

We are a military family. My husband has some friends that are single sailors who also have no filter and have yet to realize that small children are similar to parrots. They repeat EVERYTHING! K our younger daughter was petting our dog Duke. Duke is not fixed so sometimes things "excite" him more then they should. His doggy boy parts started to come out, K, not knowing what it was decided to reach for it.

Me: K no don't touch that!
M: What? The red rocket on his boy parts? Daddy has a red rocket on his boy parts too!

Yeah you read that right. I could barely hold it in. What made it worse was my husband just looked at me from across the room with his little grin and said "Did she just really just say that?" Yes, honey she said that! Thanks to some of your friends she has learned these delightful phrases that I hope don't get repeated at Pre-K otherwise we may get some interesting phone calls or visits at home. When M was much younger there where times it was just easier to toss her in the shower with one of us. Needless to say, being the inquisitive kid she is, she understands and has since asked many questions about what parts men & women have and why.

This readers is just a small glimpse at what you can expect in my everyday life and what this blog will contain. Please laugh with me as I continue to share what my toddler says because honestly I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried!
