When the kid says something that really gets you

Nothing quite like bursting into tears while innocently browsing your favorite msg board.

Man, oh man.

Great thread.

When my step-son was around 3, he asked his mother for a cookie. When she didn’t get it quite quick enough to suit him, he looked at her and said, “Mom, a little cooperation would be nice.”

It was hard for her to be mad when she was busy cracking up!

I know… It breaks my heart every time I think of it. I have amazing kids. :slight_smile:

I’ve got one on my son.

He was almost three when his sister was born. We brought her home from the hospital and were playing with her in the living room when she started crying.

He turned to my husband and said, “Daddy, turn it off.”

Little did he know…they’ve been driving each other nuts ever since.

TeaDottir turned 2 a couple of weeks ago. I asked her a few days prior what she wanted for her birthday. Her answer: “A dolly and a kitty and love love love love love love love!” Then she jumped into my arms and started kissing me. I can’t get enough of this little girl.

I didn’t hear this one directly, but my mom told me about it.

My son was almost six when his first little sister was born. Grandma brought him to the hospital to see her shortly after the birth. We visited a little, he got to hold the baby briefly, and then it was time for them to go home. As they were walking down the hall, he said to my mom, “I didn’t really want that baby, but I guess she’s okay.”

You guys just made me remember two more. Both of them are from my oldest (then 3) when my middle guy was born.

I was still in the hospital when he came to visit and was nursing the baby when he came into the room … and freaked! "The baby’s eating mama! Get him off! Get him off!

Five days later, we take the baby for his first Dr.'s appointment, and the oldest pipes up from the back seat: “So we’re returning him now?” no honey, just taking him for a checkup. “Why can’t we return him now?”

The three-year old strikes again!

After Fourth of July dinner at my mom’s, he tells me that he wants to go for a walk through the neighborhood.

As we’re headed back, he says “I want to walk past Grandma’s house. PAST grandma’s house!”

“What would grandma say?”

“Look at those stupid guys!”

“Grandma wouldn’t call you stupid.”

“OK, just daddy.”
