DS9 complaining that all the girls in his class talk too much. So we ask him what they talk about..
"I don't pay attention.. probably undies". 
Yes ds, all girls ever talk about is underwear
Go softly my sweet friend. You will always be a part of who I am.

When DS was 3, I was trying to order our dinner in a crowded fast food restaurant before taking him to the restroom. He yelled out, "But my pecker is tickling me!"

Just last night i was preparing dinner with DS2 and i went into the other room to turn on some music. As soon as it starts i head DS call from the other room, "Rock out, Daddy!"
Also, a few months ago we were at a restaurant called "Bugaboo Creek" which has all sorts of animatronic animals and things on the walls. We were watching a giant talking moose head and asking DS about it. When WXGF asked what was on the moose's head, completely expecting the answer "horns", instead we get the reply, "It's.. umm. it's a PENIS!" We both just cracked up at that. He's very eloquent for a 2YO

The other day while he was playing with his toys, I heard our 6 year old yell "YOU HAVE BETRAYED THE LAWS OF PHYSICS!" and then there was a crash. I didn't bother investigating the crash because I was too busy texting g_r the awesome thing he had just yelled. I still dunno what he broke but it couldn't have been too important, nothing caught fire.

My 5 year old grand daughter took a hard tumble on the sidewalk yesterday. While walking to the house to get a bandaid (even though no blood was spilled) she told me, "grandma, it's hard work to be a kid."

Love all these precious quotes!
While visiting with my brother and sister-in-law one evening, we got into a discussion about music and our favorite songs. My 4 year old nephew was close by so I asked him what his favorite song was. He gave it some thought and answered very matter-of-factly "Auntie, my favorite song is Le Grange by ZZ Top." Surprised at his answer, I started to giggle because I was expecting some sort of Barney or Sesame Street reference. He looked at me very seriously, almost incensed that I was laughing and said "Auntie, I've liked it for a long time!"
One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can't change.

My DD when she was about six...
We're in a convenient store and a BIG biker guy is in front of us in line buying a bunch of sausage sticks. DD looks up at him and says... "Hey mister, my dog eats those things!"
Thought I was in for a beating after that one.

My son doesn't speak in complete sentences yet. So for most of the night we've been playing and he's been saying repeatedly: "More sillies?"

My kids pestered me to know what the blue jellyfish was for that lit up on the dash gauges of my car.
High beams. Now, everyone go find your blue jellyfish.

Wasn't that beautiful, mom? It hit me right in the feels.
Love.
DD1 then just over 3: "Mummy, I love your head off."
DD2 then just over 2: "I spy with my little eye something beginning with.... Elephant!".
She was making a joke - it still cracks me up.
I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!
