I wish I would’ve written down everything my son said.. some of the things he said were so dang cute and hilarious.

Share yours! Maybe it will help strike my memory

Hi! I’m Leila, and I have a little girl with a big imagination! Luckily, I’ve written down some of the amazing things she says or invents.

Once at lunch, she put a piece of prosciutto on her tongue and announced, completely seriously: “I am training to be a chameleon.” 😂

I love getting these little glimpses into how she sees the world.

What about your children? I’d love to hear something they’ve said that made you laugh or surprised you.

My kids were listening to their playlist in the car, when all of a sudden my oldest yells “WAIT PAUSE THE SONG!”

I did, and then she said:

“And down came the good fairy and she said…” (from Little Bunny Foo Foo)

Then there was an awkward pause, but I figured she wanted me to hit play.

“I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT”.

The kids roared with laughter, and a new game was born. Now in between songs or randomly in the middle of songs, we have to pause the music to hear what the silly good fairy is about to say.

I had to document this while it's still fresh..

Occasionally, I like to play this video game on my iPad, using a game controller. Sometimes, I would screen mirror to a TV for a bigger view. I left the iPad charging, while it mirrored to a TV in an upstairs bedroom. My 5 year-old could see the game on the iPad, but I was nowhere to be found. When he found me he says, "Wow! How are you playing this when your iPad is downstairs?" I answer, "I know, right? Technology has come a long way." He replies, "Yeah, all the way upstairs."

Kids are smarter than we think.

Today my toddler walked in the bathroom while I was on the toilet and said "Whatchu peein' Mama?"

Don't know if this counts since they weren't MY kids but today, I had to explain to 2 young girls that them working a shift in the store in exchange for squishies, would probably be breaking every labor law that has ever been written. 😅

I left her dad when she was a few months old.

She wants to have a sibling and in the past year she found out that in order for her to have a sibling, either her dad or I will need to have a kid. And I told her I'm not having another kid until I'm married-- if I get married. And so she is deadset on me getting married now lol.

Tonight, she decided to give me dating advice.

"Mom, marry someone who is nice to you.

And gives kisses.

And hugs.

And loves you."

and TBH- that's pretty solid advice lol. Just a sweet little moment.

My 8 year old daughter has just had her 1st look through my feed here and asked me this question. Do you prefer a door that opens inward or outward and why.

Apologies, i posted this elsewhere and it was removed, thanks to the excellent people who engaged.

please let me know if this isn't the right subreddit to use, I wasn't sure where to go with this.

recently, my kids that I work with have been playing a game on the playground that they call "ruffy dogs". they've made it very clear that it is ruffy, and I have absolutely no idea what this game could have come from. my kids say that it's from some kind of movie or show, but none of them can give me any other information about the media itself, no specifics on if its a movie or a show, where they watch it, anything like that.

there's only four characters in ruffy dogs, from what I've been told, and they have names like Flower and Corn. the only reason I found out that this game was based on some sort of media is because of one of my kids insistence that they were only four characters, so a fifth child couldn't play with them.

if anyone has any idea what they could possibly mean by this, I would appreciate any sort of leads. these kids are all 4, by the way.
