My goal is to be positive, upbeat and happy. I also plan to share this, because we all need to be happy about something. Maybe our marriages are crappy, in trouble, over. We can still found a smile somewhere, and for most of us this is through our children.

I am going to post some of the cute things my kids have done and throughout the day I will add stories.

Post your stories and lets laugh together.

My 10 year-old son was upset at me because he was restricted off the Nintendo for not putting his backpack, shoes, and other various school stuff away after school. I told him he had broken a rule.

He looked at me with his hands on his hips and said "You don't have rules, you just have a lot of ways to get me in trouble!!!"

My 3 year-old daughter wanted to go outside while I was watering the grass. We had somewhere to go so I told her "Don't get wet and don't get in the mud, just play on the patio".

I looked out only a few moments latter and she was covered in mud.

I asked her how she got so muddy. She said "Well Mommy, it's muddy in the mud".

When my son was about 1 1/2 to 2, he had the habit of holding my face in his hands when he wanted to talk to me. He would want to put his little hands on each of my cheeks, get real close to my face, look me in the eyes before he would say something.

One day he came up to me with his hands up int he air so I knew what he wanted. I knelt down, he put his hands on my cheeks, looked me in the eyes and said "Mommy, I have syrup all over my hands".

When he tried to remove his hands from my cheeks I was sure he was right.

cracked me up! Out of the mouths of babes...

A while back, my daughter had bought a bottle of car wax for her truck and set it on the kitchen counter. My grandson saw it, and said, "Ooh! New bubble bath!" My daughter said, "No, it's car wax. Put it back on the counter." After supper, she put him in the tub and started cleaning up the kitchen. Her son came into the kitchen (stark naked, of course) and said, "Mommy, my new bubble bath didn't make bubbles." She was puzzled for a moment, until she realized that the car wax was missing from the kitchen counter. She said, "Shawn!! What did I tell you about that car wax??!!!"

He replied, "You told me to put it back on the counter......but, I didn't hear you, Mommy!"

LOL!!

When my son was 4 years old his Sunday School Class was talking about what they wanted to be when they grow up and why. His teacher happened to be the Preacher's Wife.

When he was asked he immediately said "I want to be a preacher". Of course she was thrilled and said "Oh really, tell the class why".

He said "Because I want to get paid to talk".

I know you are wanting cute stuff little kids say, but this is from my 19 year old son just recently and I had to smile. We were talking about something and I was bringing up "what if's" to him...he said, "MOM, if IF was a skiff, we would take a boat ride!!!".

Wise beyond years, huh?

This isn't something my kids said or did, but are some short phrases my H and I came up with to describe each of our kids to a T. (in better times, of course)

Nathan...9 years old, the baby-he's funny, mischevious, and generally into EVERYTHING. His motto is "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission."

Aislinn...my beautiful 10 year old daughter. She's artistice, dreamy and idealistic. Her motto is "Don't worry, be happy."

And then there's Daniel. My 13 year son. He's intelligent, perfectionistic, clutzy (13 you know), with a dry sense of humor. His motto is, "We're doomed!"

I think those little quips perfectly describe each one.

------------------
Blessed be.

An acquaintance was dealing with sibling rivelry between her two sons. She sat the older boy down and gave him the typical "If you don't have anything nice to say about your brother, then don't say anything at all" talk.

He then replied with a sigh "Well then Mom, I have nothing to say about my brother!"

My 10 yearold son has only lost 8 teeth. We are waiting for him to lose some more so we can start braces.

We were talking about this at the table at dinner one night and I voiced my concern that he is so late losing his teeth.

He said "Don't worry Mom, ya'll all know I'm a Slow Loser".

We all stopped, looked around and couldn't help but to burst out laughing. My 12 year old son jumped all over it and constantly teases him about being a "Slow Loser".

My H had a vasectomy when my oldest son was 9. When I picked my son up from school I warned him that he needed to be very quiet when he got home because his daddy had a surgery and needed to sleep. My son of course asked what the surgery was and so wanting to be totally honest with him I told him that he had a surgery to keep us from having any more babies.

My son got really mad and said "YOU HAD MY DADDY NEUTERED!!!"

I help teach a kids Bible study at our church.
My favorite:

"...and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us some email."

Prayer doesn't change things for you - it changes you for things.

I love the story about the little boy that was at Church and the were singing the song that goes "And He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am his own..." I think it is called "I Walk Through The Garden Alone"

The little boy looks puzzled and says to his Mom "Who's Andy?"
