Kids do the damnedest things (My son drank from the toilet)

Five?! He’ll never become a senator from Vermont.

Poysyn, that reminds me of an oldie that I’m sure I posted here at least once. Eons ago, we kept our boat in a raggedy old marina where there was a young couple and their two children living aboard their sailboat. My husband was over visiting them one day, sitting in the cockpit with John talking about boat stuff. Bonnie, then all of 3 or 4 years old, came and stood in front of my husband, and proclaimed very proudly, almost triumphantly: “Daddy has a penis and Noah [her brother] has a penis, but *I * have a vagina.” Then she turned around and went back into the cabin.

Still makes me giggle 22 years later…

Once upon a time, I was hanging around the house with the children. The girl-child was eating some Nerds (a small crumb-shaped candy). The boy-child was playing in an empty cardboard box I had recently brought in from the garage. Suddenly he started spluttering and spit something out…it was a mouse turd!

When I asked him later why he had thought it would be a good idea to eat a mouse turd, he said he thought his sister had dropped some of her candy (though he didn’t know what flavor a black one might be). We still tease him sometimes about eating a “mystery Nerd”.

S. lives on a dairy farm, his first words were “cow” and “shit”. Soon he conneted the two and you could hear him from a mile away bellow “COOOWSHEET” whenever one of cows dumped.

:smiley: I love that Kid!
