Welcome to a new feature on The Shopping Mama – He Said WHAT? Here’s the deal: like most toddlers my son says ri-dic-ulous things. Like crazy funny things. And I’m always thinking, “I really need to write that down.” So now I”m writing it down and sharing it with you.
Here are some recent gems out of the mouth of my babe.
The Rolling Game
On Saturday my husband, Toddler Boy and Baby Girl were laying on our bed and hanging out. Sounds innocent enough, right?
Toddler Boy: Dada, let’s play a game.
Husband: What do you want to play?
Toddler Boy: Let’s roll Baby Girl off the bed.
(Not that it’s better or worse, but we have a very tall bed.)
Husband: Um, don’t you think she would get hurt if she fell off the bed.
Toddler Boy: Let’s find out!
Dinner Table Talk
I made some beef stew (for the first time ever, by the way, and it was good) and my husband put A-1 sauce on it. Ew, right? He puts freaking condiments on everything. Anyway, he wanted me to try it. I resisted and said “No, thanks.” Husband said, “Just try it.” To prove a point to Toddler Boy, I did. A few moments later, Toddler Boy was eating a fruit bar.
Toddler Boy: Mama, want to try this fruit?
Me: No, thanks. I know what it tastes like. It’s yummy and it’s yours.
Toddler Boy: C’mon, mama, jus’ try it.
Me: No, thanks.
Toddler Boy: Mom, try one bite. It won’t kill you.
More Dinner Talk
This one is great. Toddler Boy wasn’t eating his dinner but wanted some chocolate. Surprise, surprise. My husband said, “Buddy, finish eating your chicken and you can have some chocolate.” A few minutes passed and Toddler Boy didn’t eat his chicken.
Toddler Boy: Can I has some chochit now?
Husband: No. Do you remember what I told you to do to get chocolate?
Toddler Boy (after an extended blank stare): Can I have chocit now?
Husband: No. What do you have to do to get chocolate?
This back-and-forth repeated several times.
Toddler Boy: Dada, you’re wasting my time. Just give me some chocit, please.
At least he said please.
Has your kid said anything crazy lately?

February 15, 2011Too cute! I’m going to have the chocolate conversation with my toddler boy. He’s fixated on the sweets.

February 16, 2011So cute!! My 4 year old daughter asked me for grapes yesterday. I was taking them off the vine and rinsing them when she came back in the room and said “where are my grapes mom? what do you think, I have all day??” when I explained that I was rinsing them she said “geez, just a little quicker please!”
