Kids Say the Darndest things...

[Sigarms]

Not a good drive to church this morning because the one boy was too sore in his opinion to go to church today (apparently from playing to much basketball last night).

Walking into church waiting for my wife and my other boy, the boy who was "sore" was with me not looking to happy.

I ask him "what's wrong?"

He informs me that "Mom usually get what she wants, and if she doesn't, there generally is a issue" (sounding not to happy).

I was kind of thinking to myself you've got a lot to learn kid.

We ought to be able to keep this thread going forever! I've been through two daughters and six grand kids, so I have a million of them! I'll start with my oldest daughter. She came in the house one day with a limb off the weeping willow; about two foot long, tapered, with no leaves. She said "Look Daddy, I brought you a whipper!" I looked at it, looked at her, and said "A whipper, huh?" She looked at me, her eyes got big, and she said "But not for me!"

I laughed until I was sick.

My granddaughter approached me one day as I was sitting on the couch eating some potato chips. She reached in the bag to get some and began munching. While chewing she exclaims "no fair". I asked what wasn't fair. She says you have potato chips and I don't. I asked what she had in her mouth? She paused a moment then says "never mind".

Long ago we traveled back to Nebraska to visit my wife's relatives. One of them bought my seven year old son a big, bright red T-shirt with a big white "N" - front and center. It represented one of the sports teams in Nebraska.

So the first evening - the entire clan is gathered for dinner. One of the elders asked my son what the big white "N" on his shirt represented.

With no hesitation or pause he replied - - "It's for the Nebraska Nigg**s". You could have heard a mouse pee on a cotton ball.

When we got back to Anchorage - that T-shirt got IMMEDIATELY lost. Never to be found again.

Back in about 1966 I was an apprentice and used to catch a bus from my country town to get to the city, one day this young woman gets on with two children, the eldest would have been about 4-5 years old and was proving to be a real handful, running up and down the bus and ignoring his mother who told him to sit down, he was having none of it.
She finally grabbed him as he was running and made him sit then told him if he didn't sit down and behave he would be getting a hard smack.
Little Mr 5 was not impressed then at the top of his voice shouted out for all to hear 'If you smack me I'll tell Dad you pee'd in the red bucket'.
Poor Mum didn't know what to do, all eyes were on her as she turned bright red, I had no idea what the red bucket was but back then the toilets in a lot of homes were outside.
Either way Mr 5 continued to be a PITA all the way to the city with poor Mum cowering in her seat, I often wonder what he does today as he would be about 50 something.

My son is now 49. He can still recall, with vivid clarity, the "red T-shirt" incident.

Told from my best friend who was at a bank with his older brother who has brain cancer. He was wearing a protective headwear since his surgery where they removed part of his skull.

There was an unruly kid who was running all over the place, tugging at the line chains, etc all the while his soft spoken mother, standing in line behind my friend and his brother, tried her best to contain him when he stopped and observed the contraption on my friend’s brother.

“What happened to you?” he asked unapologetically.

“I didn’t listen to my mother years ago”

The boy never left his mothers side from that point on.
