The topic for the month is "Funniest Things Your Kids Have Said." When I think of this topic, I remember one evening, after putting the kids in bed, I went back upstairs to check on them. As I approached their room, I thought that I heard someone in the bathroom. I walked through the door just in time to see my oldest son putting the finishing touches on an impressive toothpaste Abe Lincoln beard. We looked at each other in shock for a moment, and then I managed to say, "What were you thinking?"
Ben, still in a state of shock, replied, "That you weren't coming up here."

That's hilarious! I can't wait until my son can talk so I have stories of my own to tell.
One little girl I used to babysit was always saying funny things...her grandparents are from Germany, so they had taught her all about German culture, as well as all the lyrics to "The Sound of Music." :) I saw something in the fridge that I didn't recognize, so I asked the four-year-old what it was, and she replied "Snitch-el. It's German...grandma brought it over." I said, "Oh! Schnitzel!" She replied, "Yes, Snitch-el!"
I think that Snitchel would be a good name for anything unidentifiable found in a fridge. I think I'll make that my word of the week.
Oh, well, we have lots of Snitchel over at our place then :)
I still think that the funniest thing my daughter Anna ever told me was that "disco" was a popular sport in ancient Greece.
The other night our youngest, Aly, yelled out to me from the bath tub:
"Mommmm! I'm all clean! Get me out!"
"You're all clean?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied, "I'm all clean and I didn't even need to use any soap!"
I wish my memory were good enough to record the funny things my kids say. There are several good ones a week. One I remember was from the period of time when we began using time out with our son. I had done something he didn't like so he looked at me from across the room and said, "Mommy, I told you go time out!' And he was completely serious.
