While at the store, I hear a mom kindly telling her child:
"No - buying stuff SPENDS our money,
NOT buying stuff SAVES our money."

Eggs
There's a certain 6 year old boy that my daughter considers her little brother. Today that little guy was helping her collect the chickens eggs. Now it's very normal for him to ask me if he can bring this or that to his house so it took me a little by surprise when he came in today, carrying an egg in each hand, and asked me: "Can I have these to egg my house?"
Me: "Do you know what that means, to egg your house?"
Him: "Ya, it means to throw eggs at my house."
Me: "I don't think your mom would like that very much."
Him: "No, she's okay with it."
Me: "Do you know what that means, to egg your house?"
Him: "Ya, it means to throw eggs at my house."
Me: "I don't think your mom would like that very much."
Him: "No, she's okay with it."
Thanks for Hulk!
My nephew, 2 years old, slammed his finger in the bedroom door. It ripped his fingernail off completely.
My brother-in-law was there and had an army military issued first aid kit and after taking care of the finger, wrapped up his hand in the green wrap to make sure he didn't pick at the finger. My 2 year old nephew's response? After staring at it for a minute he replies:
And proceeded to walk around punching everything he saw repeating very excitedly, "Hulk! Smash!"

Ahh the Joy :)
4 - year old talking to my son:
"You have hairy armpits!" ha ha ha
(After the laughter dies down)
"My dad has hairy armpits too."
"So does my mom."

Today's awkward moment brought to you by - unisex dressing
As I'm headed home today, I'm thinking I have time to get a few errands done before my kids get home, and away I go.
While I'm in the store, nature strikes and so I make my way to the bathroom. TMI? Well it's part of the story and that's the only reason why I'm bringing it up.
The bathroom is a single entrance, women to the left, men go to the right. I turn to the left and stop dead in my tracks. Standing a few yards in front of me with their back to me is a dude! Crap! I look around and don't see any urinals, and I'm pretty sure I went the way the girl sign was, thinking what do I do when there's a dude in the girl's bathroom? And the guy turns around. And it isn't a guy. It's a girl! And it must have been pretty obvious that I thought she was a he because she kindly tells me, "You're in the right place."
I've been caught and say the only thing that comes to mind, "Sorry."
She starts to walk out, gets by the door, when she turns and with a fair amount of anger in her voice said, "Didn't you see the sign?"
My reply, "I wasn't paying too much attention."
What do you do? Casually toss out, "Hey - thought you were a dude - my bad."

Um, You're Welcome?
"Mom, can I say thank you?"
"Of course. You always can."
"Well thank you mom."
"For?"
"Teaching me stuff."
"You're welcome."
"I mean, I've gotten away with a lot of stuff this year because of one piece of advice you gave me."
"Really. What's that?"
"If a teacher comes by and you act like nothings going on, they won't think anything is going on. I mean, it works most of the time and I've gotten away with so much stuff this year. Thank you!"
