We’ve had some incidents in our household lately that could fall under this cliché. And because the first story I’m going to recount is so funny, it’s also my Funny Quote of the Week (which I realize I haven’t done since 2008!)
Monkey has been very cunning in his language and comprehension lately. We ‘ve been potting training him and using M& Ms as rewards for those times when he actually says, “I need to use potty” and successfully makes it to the potty without an accident. Well, he has caught on to this system. The other day, he opened up our freezer compartment and pulled out an ice cream sandwich. Then he said, “Go potty for this?”* Huh. Pretty smart little fellow. An otherwise innocent remark is really manipulation at it’s greatest!
Recently my adult mind has taken notice of otherwise innocent comments or actions and twisted them. This is my perverse mind (sorry). For instance, Monkey received a Buzz Lightyear for Christmas from friends of ours. He loves it. But he duly noted, “I don’t have a Woody.” Several times. And I couldn’t help but chuckle each time he said it. An otherwise innocent remark, but leave it to my childish mind to warp its meaning.
Please feel free to share your examples of otherwise innocent remarks your children have made.
*This is the Funny Quote of the Week.
My son unfortunately isn’t quite talking yet so I have nothing to share. But, those quotes are priceless!
Sasha mindlessly repeats everything he hears, so there has been a LOT of things he says innocently that are bad.
There’s a lot he says not so innocent either.
That is toooo funny! It is amazing how innocent kids are! So glad he enjoys his Buzzy!!
Both quotes are really funny! Smart kid. I want to get an ice cream for going potty, too!
haha! I lol’d. Aria is always saying stuff that can be taken the wrong way. one of my favorites is when she wants to get down from her booster seat on the kitchen stool. she says “get me off!”
