Funny Kid Stuff

The other day Chloe was really campaigning hard to go to Mc Donald's for lunch.  We do go there from time to time but it is always in conjunction with a play date of some sort or just the moms needing to get together.  So I told her that it was really a place that was better with friends so she'd have someone to play with.  It was quiet for a while and then she said  "Mom, myself called and wants to play with me at Mc Donald's."

One day when Lowell was shining his shoes Piper asked why men were so obsessed with polishing their shoes. This is funny in and of itself because I think this was the first time in our marriage that Lowell has ever shinned his shoes. To add the the hilarity she then asked if it was the same as how women are always obsessing about how big their butts are. (ppppfft.....WHAT@#$?!?!)

A conversation with Lowell and Piper:

Piper:  Dad when can we go sledding?

Lowell: Well, I have to shovel the driveway first.

Piper: Good, it builds character.

I seriously don't know where they come up with this stuff.

Miss Jen,
I love your Gang...and I know and believe that all the little antidotes and "Kid Quotes" are for real. I can just hear Piper and Chloe saying those very words.
See you soon!!
Love, Dad

OK, I am sorry, but those are SOOOOO funny. I loved how Chloe made a play date with herself, and how your kids are "helping" you build character. Killer funny. One day you will be reminiscing and laughing over these comments.

So, exactly how many times have you said 'it builds character' when coercing the kid to do yucky stuff??
