What weird thing did your kid say today?

My 5 year old asked to go to the splash pad. I said we couldn’t because of the virus and said “I’m sorry.” He said: It’s ok, mommy. Don’t be sorry. It’s better to be healthy than have fun.

See.... a 5yo gets it. Stay home, be healthy- fun comes later.

My 6 year old calls it corona-v. And told me he wasn’t going to do the dishes because “there are importantier things in life”

I couldn't get Alexa to set a timer for me while I was making lunch today and I jokingly said "ugh, sometimes she's so annoying" to my husband and my six-year old says from the other room "you better be nice to the machines because they're going to take over one day!" No idea where she got that from.

My now 7 year old used to call Starbucks "Starbuttons." I never corrected him because it sounded so cute.

If we can’t have a cat or a dog, can we have a puppy?

I asked my 4 yr old if she was going to a good girl for daddy while I went to the store and she said “I think so, but my brain tell me what to and I’m sorry but I can’t change my brain.”

My 10 yr old yelling to me from the bathroom.
I get there and she looks at me with big teary eyes and says "i've started my period"
It nearly made me cry too.

4 year old - "narwhals have tusks so they can break the ice so the boats can break though. They are very helpful."

New nanny starts tomorrow. We told 6 year old to clean her room / floor of the toys so that it was nice for new nanny. She said " if she can't step over toys, is she really a good nanny?"

DH told DD we wanted to make a good impression and have her like us so she stays for a long time. DD said "she shouldn't like us or not like us because something is messy."

True kid, now clean your dang room.

“Your job is to clean your room. If you choose to argue instead of cleaning, you are wasting your playtime. I am going to sit here and do my job while you do yours, so let me know when you’re done.” Then don’t engage. Redirect back to cleaning after each time she’s spent more than 2 minutes playing (up to 2 minutes is reasonable for 6, even if it’s happening every couple minutes). Do NOT help.

5 year old said, "I cleaned my room!"

I looked around...it was clean, but where did all the stuff go?

"Um...did you just put everything in your closet?"

"Yes, like you do when you clean!"

She's not wrong.

Years and years ago--my DS, I think he was 3, looking at me thoughtfully and saying "what's that extra stomach you have up below your neck?"

My favorite thing he came up with as a name for something--knuckles were "finger elbows".
