Out of the Mouths of Babes

If you haven't spent much time with three-year-olds, you should start. They say some funny, funny, stuff I tell you. Connor cracks us up on an hourly basis. Sometimes saying things we are supposed to laugh at and sometimes just by not having the internal filter that (most) adults have. So here are some of our favorite latest examples of funny stuff he's said.

Intro- Connor and Dan recently started a "list" of things that Connor wants. This was Dan's cute idea to help Connor when he decides he really wants something, but isn't going to get it. He has been getting very sad the past few weeks when he discovers he can't get something he really wants. He doesn't throw tantrums or anything, but he cries very real tears of sadness. The list has helped him channel that sadness into doing something to possibly be able to get the item. It's worked quite nicely. Anyway, I digress.
Connor on the phone to grammy:
Connor-"Grammy, I have three things on my list: a pink volleyball, a microphone stand and a sword."
Grammy- "Oh wow, are those things that you want?"
Connor- "Yes, and who knows what I will cry about next week!"

Intro- Connor likes to make up words and then explain what those words mean.
Connor- "Mom, do you know what focking means?" (focking sounds very similar to another "f" word, which shall remain unnamed)
Mom- "No, what does that mean?"
Connor- "It's kind of like a road"
Mom- "Ah, I see. Well, let's not use the word focking. It doesn't sound very nice."
Connor(very enthusiastically)-"Yes mom, focking IS nice!"

Intro- Dan went to a movie and missed bath time. Dan is a trooper and takes baths with Connor just about every night. Dan doesn't go out very often and is pretty much always home with us or at school.
Connor- "Mom, when is Dad going to be home?"
Mom- "He will be home right after you go to bed. He went to a movie tonight."
Connor- "I don't like it when Dad is NEVER home."
Poor Dan, misses a bath time and immediately becomes a deadbeat Dad.

Intro- At Target, walking by a rather large woman.
Connor (loudly)- "Mom, she has a BIG belly!"
Mom- Some BS about how people are all different sizes and that's okay, yada, yada, yada.

Intro- Connor knows he has to be gentle with Mommy because she has a baby in her belly. Connor has used this line on both the babysitter, Rachel, and his Grandma Lynda
Connor- "Rachel/Grandma Lynda do you have a baby in your belly?"
Rachel/Grandma Lynda- "No"
Connor- "Can I jump on you then?"

This was said by Connor's buddy Dylan (a 4-year-old. They're funny too)
"Jill, I noticed your tummy is getting bigger every day!!!"
(so maybe the commenting on a pregnant woman's size is something we're born to do???)

Wishing you time with a three-year-old soon...

Loves to all.
