The Potty Boot Camp

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does love mean?” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.

I couldn’t resist posting this story…it’s not potty training related, but as parents I think we can all get a laugh from the funny things kids say.

(If you are looking for even more funny kids quotes, I highly recommend a book called “Scribbled Eggs” by Penny Jane Wilson. )

Here is a funny potty training story posted by a parent whose son made an very keen observation while toilet training:

Sonic Granades: Potty Training Strikes Back

I had a funny moment as well while potty training. My daughter had just finished going #2 in the potty. Of course she had to admire her handiwork. In fear of giving you too much information, the poop had broken into three pieces. Megan started into the toilet, looked up at me and said, “Look Mommy! A Poopy Family! A mommy poopy, a daddy poopy, and a baby poopy!” (Apparently all was well in poop land…until the whole family got flushed!)

I know I’ve gotten off of the topic of potty training lately, but I sure can’t resist these hilarious kid quotes.

Why We Love Children

1. A nursery school pupil told his teacher he’d found a cat, but it was dead.’ How do you know that the cat was dead?’ she asked her pupil.’ Because I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move,’ answered the child innocently.’ You did WHAT?’ the teacher exclaimed in surprise.’ You know,’ explained the boy, ‘I leaned over and went ‘Pssst’ and it didn’t move’

2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later…..’Da-ad….”What?” I’m thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?” No, You had your chance. Lights out.’ Five minutes later: ‘Da-aaaad…..”WHAT? ”I’m THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water??” I told you NO! If you ask again, I’ll have to smack you!!’ Five minutes later……’Daaaa-aaaad…..”WHAT!” When you come in to smack me, can you bring a drink of water?’

3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him ‘How do you expect to get into Heaven?’ The boy thought it over and said, ‘Well , I’ll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, ‘For Heaven’ssake, Dylan, come in or stay out!”

4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, ‘Mummy, will you sleep with me tonight?’The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.’ I can’t dear,’ she said. ‘I have to sleep in Daddy’s room.’ A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:’The big sissy.’

5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children’s sermon. All the children were invited to come forward.One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the minister leaned over and said, ‘That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress?’ The little girl replied, directly into the minister’s clip-on microphone, ‘Yes, and my Mum says it’s a bitch to iron.’

6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, ‘Mummy, you are getting fat!’ I replied, ‘Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy.”I know,’ she replied, but what’s growing in your bum?’

7. A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, ‘Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven. Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine….’ His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, ‘What are you doing?’ The little boy answered, ‘I’m doing my math homework, Mum.” And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?’ the mother asked ‘Yes,’ he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, ‘What are you teaching my son in math?’ The teacher replied, ‘Right now, we are learning addition.’ The mother asked, ‘And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?’ After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, ‘What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.’

8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ‘…. and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, ‘The sky is falling, the sky is falling!’ The teacher paused then asked the class, ‘And what do you think that farmer said?’ One little girl raised her hand and said, ‘I think he said: ‘Holy Shit! A talking chicken!” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, I’m Mr.Sugarbrown’s daughter.’ Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, ‘I’m Jane Sugarbrown.’ The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, ‘Aren’t you Mr.Sugarbrown’s daughter?’ She replied, ‘I thought I was, but mother says I’m not.’

10. A little girl asked her mother, ‘Can I go outside and play with the boys?’ Her mother replied, ‘No, you can’t play with the boys, they’re too rough.’ The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?’

Ok, this has nothing to do with potty training, but I was in the mood for some humor. Below is a selection of quotes I found at http://www.rinkworks.com/said/kidquotes.shtml (Rinkworks.com)
