Cute recent toddler-isms

[Anonymous]

When my twin were 3, I overheard the following during a sibling squabble:
DD: “I don’t like you anymore!”
DS: *unperturbed* “Yes. You do.”
DD: “Well, then I don’t like you today!”
DS: “Okay, but you’re going to have to like me extra tomorrow.”

If anyone wants to know what it’s like to have twins, this says it all.

This was years ago but when DS was about 3 I was putting him to bed one night.

I was so tired and thought I had my hand up his shirt rubbing his back. Well it felt weird so I said, "what is this?" finally realizing that my hand was up the leg of his underwear. He said in his squeaky little voice " 2 mountains and a crack." I could not stop laughing.

He loves hearing that story.


One night he was a bit younger than above he was doing the typical I'm hungry, I thirsty routine to delay his bedtime. I said "Nana may buy your baloney, Papa may buy your baloney but I am not buy it. Now go to sleep!"

He little eyes get big and teary and he said "please Mama, please buy my baloney."

We're potty training this weekend. My toddler, sitting on a towel in his play area, says "Do not pee here. Do not!" And then of course, he pees right there.

Hahaha, OP again...dd also loudly shouts "back off!" when she wants space...definitely what dh and I always tell at the dogs when they're begging at dinner hahaha

We hiss at our cats when they are naughty. Seems funny to type out but that's what my parents always did with the cats we had when I was a kid, so I guess that's always been our discipline method.

Anyway, we were out trick-or-treating for Halloween, and a dog ran out of one house and up to my 3 year old. DS promptly hissed at him like he would the cat. Unlike the cat, the dog didn't care in the least and tried to lick him to death.

They were playing together in the dramatic play area, making breakfast. One of them loudly said to the other, "WHY DO YOU NEED TO BUY EXPENSIVE COFFEE WHEN WE HAVE COFFEE AT HOME?!"

Ha! Yes, parents should be forewarned that by the end of the school year, their kids' preschool (& early elementary) teachers are very likely to know much more about them & what goes on in their households than they are probably comfortable with!

My child would walk around in the housekeeping corner telling the baby dolls "This is an adult beverage. It's not for you." His teacher was concerned until I said "tell your teacher what adult beverage you're drinking." and he solemnly said "Diet Coke. It's got caffeeeeeeeeeeen".

My three year old son took me by the hand last night, led me to the window and said, "Mommy, look, it's a full moon, it's really, really beautiful." Made me smile.

He also tells his 15 month old sister to dance when we have the radio on and then they start dancing and giggling away, I love it.

Great thread. Almost made me forget politics!

While trick or treating for the first time, 3yo said, "that was really nice [of him] to give candy".

Rather than "tomorrow morning," toddler says "to-morning," as in, "Mommy, can we have pancakes to-morning?"

I found my 3yo climbing up on the sink to reach the medicine cabinet to get me some privacy.

I wish I wrote things like this down...my son has said so many funny things and I can't remember most of them anymore

One funny thing: right around the time he turned two, we had attended a few other birthday parties as well. During his nap time, I heard him talking and singing in the crib: "cupcake...cupcake...haaappy biiirthday to you..."

My goddaughter used to call anything in the last "lasterday".
