R will be three-years-old in about a month and as his talking has continued to improve over the last year or so, he's been a non-stop source of entertainment. I know all of you with toddlers and young children know what I mean by this! I try and jot down funny things that he says so that I can remember them forever! I was reading back through a few of my favorites and thought I'd share a few:
Costco = "Taco"
Gummi Bears = "Bumpy Bears"
Buttons = "Tuppins"
Strawberries = "Harpies"
Trampoline = "Tramp a plane"
Apple Cider = "Apple Spider"
Monkeys = "Funkies"
And a few other humorous tidbits:
He has dark brown eyes and someone once commented that they're the color of chocolate. He was tickled to learn he has "chocolate eyes."
Father's Day follows Mother's Day by about a month. This past Father's day I told R to say, "Happy Father's Day" to Daddy. He proceeded to wish him a Happy Mother's Day all day long. Priceless...
He's been into dressing up lately. In the last 24 hours he's been a chicken, a turtle and an angel. The other day he wrapped a scarf around his head and said "Look, Daddy, I'm a princess, I'm a Cinderella!" I thought my manly husband was going to fall over laughing.
I was in the grocery store the other day and he tripped, so I picked him up and was carrying him on my hip for a few minutes and he loudly yelled, "Ouch, Mom, you're hurting my pee-pee."
He's already stopped saying this, but it remains my favorite. Up until recently, whenever he's wanted to be held, he'd say, "Can I hold you, Mama?" Oh, it melted my heart...
I brought my hubby home a little treat after going to Panera Bread with some friends. When I handed it to him he said, "Thanks Babe. Love ya." A few hours later I gave something to R, and he said, "Thanks Babe, Love ya, Babe."
And last, but certianly not least, the other day he pointed out "Don McCain" and "Rock Bobama" on a newspaper. Haha, they pick up more than we realize!
Do you record priceless things your kids say? What are some of your favorites?

My son says the "hold you" comment as well. I just love it and pick him up and say, "Sure, you can hold me."
While I was babysitting once after eating spagetti o's I got a stomach ache. The 4 year old said in great wisdom, "I guess your tummy didn't want sgetti o's today."
My little one is only 1, and I can't wait for the funny/priceless things to come!
My brother is 5 now but when he was 2 i took him shopping with me and some lady bumped him from behind with her cart by acident and he turned to her and said 'scuse you lady don touch my butt'! was so embarassed but i thought it was hillarious!
my niece says she wants to hold me all the time...my sister told me that I better never correct her!
I have a little girl cousin who just turned 5 and was fascinated with having babies - she was telling us the story of her 4th birth and said "well my water broke so I went to the hospital and the doctor fixed it and turned it back on. Then Salinda 2 was born!" I love how kids literally interpret the real world :)
when my brother was little he always said
"prince" instead of please, and for a while he called our Aunt Barbara Uncle Barbara. My cousin Jilly used to watch some british cartoon show when she was little (Rupert? idk, not familiar with cartoons) and she always would say the weirdest things- like when her mom was trying to do something she told her "Give it a go, Mommy, give it a go!"
i was at a park with my babysitting charges when i was 12 and the 3 year old asked if i would drive to the park tomorrow with my kids..
Ireland came downstairs the first day of kindergarden with her mom's bra on over her clothes with toliet paper in it wanting to wear it to school.
My now 6 yr old, when he was 3/4 would always pick me big bouqets of Candy-lions (dandilions) ...
When my oldest was 4 he was wrestling with his daddy and he came to wrestle with me and ended up hitting me in the face - Ouch, honey, you can't hit mommy in the face like that it hurts her feelings...his reply, "mommy, I didn't hit you in the feelings, I hit you in the face!"
yup - they say the darndest things!
I don't know about that but I had this conversation today with a little girl in Nursery at church
me: "Laney, what's a cow say?"
Laney: " I don't know. I'm pretty."
My sister's little boy calls dinosaurs "dangerwhores".
This post made me smile SO big! :D
i like the baby who says "dangerwhores" ROFLLL..
no babies for me, but this blog made me laugh my butt off . :D
I once knew a kid who called Elephants 'Laladentes'. It was the funniest thing...
when my little brother was a little boy still...he would say...
Fruit Loops = "froop loops"
breakfast = "brefixt"
cursive = "curfiss"
pretzels = "prensulls"
my brother is now 21, and getting married on Saturday...
time goes way too fast...
Maybe this is a little too bold for a post, but here goes ... We attempted to teach our kids the proper names for all body parts, including private parts, which they sometimes referred to as 'privates', sometimes not. However, evidently my twin boys, when they were between 3 and 4 years old, heard something different when we said girls had a vagina ....in their minds, it translated to 'a cup of china'! Will never forget that one!
Super entry..had a whole lot of fun just going through everyone's comments too!
I'm not a baby person, but this was really funny..
When my littlest brother was a toddler, he made it quite clear when he wanted to be held. He'd march directly up to the kneecaps of his target, hold his arms straight up and squeeze his hands into fists repeatedly while demanding "hold you me!"
My parents tell me that when I was little I referred to lightswitches as "lightsquishes" and juice was "boof."
Aww that's so adorable! And funny =p I think the last one's the best though xD
Thing I love about what some kids say... they're so clear-headed and they often have the answers for our complicated problems in a single, simple sentence. Oh to be a kid again...
Technically, just to quibble, the Bible says the funniest things. Kids come in third behind that and Don McCain. see, I was paying attention.
@dedwinhedon@xanga - Wow! This guy is hilarious!
Nicholas says some pretty funny stuff, but nothing that pops to mind right now.
My sister Lillie (6) had trouble pronouncing "tr" sounds when she was first starting to talk.
Trouble became "Fouble"
Tree became "Fee"
Truck became... obviously.
My sister Brittnye (18) until we were 8/9 couldn't pronounce "s" too well.
Dinosaur- "Dinowhore"
a long time ago we had this friend that would come over all the time. he'd kinda hang out on the back porch until somebody woke up and came into the kitchen and he'd just walk in. so one day when my kid brother was about one, we were sitting around having breakfast when jeffrey walked in, and ted e goes "jeffy home!"
most of my sibling also said "viganer" for vinegar, "ambliance" for ambulance, and "aminal" for animal. "sgadebi" was a big one for spaghetti too.
