13 Best Kid Quotes

Posted on May 3rd, 2007 by SusieJ

This is my first ever, Thursday 13 post. When I was pregnant, everyone said, “Kids grow up too fast.” They also said, “kids say the darndest things.” I vowed to make it last as long as I could by recording the best of the things they said. So, instead of a yearly brag letter about us at Christmas Time — I put a list of our favorite kid quotes from the year on the card. I think it says more about our family than any brag letter ever could. Here’s 13:

  1. Mom, did you know that you’re older than Jesus? He died at 33.
  2. You don’t need to hold my Hand mom, I won’t fly away – it’s not that windy.
  3. Did Santa bring this? Why does it say “Made in China.”
  4. Do you know why we have to use these tiny screwdrivers to change the batteries in toys? Elves.
  5. “Can I use some of your money? I’m tired of using mine.”
  6. “Guess how much this Bionicle costs?” “100 dollars?” “Nope. 100 bucks.”
  7. “I used to have crooked teeth. But then I lost them, so now I don’t have that problem anymore.”
  8. “Mom, I can’t wear that. Everyone would say, what happened to your coolness.”
  9. “I figured out what ’just a minute’ means — No.”
  10. Let’s go on a hay ride. “What kind of animal is a hay?”
  11. “Is it OK to jump off the top of the tree house?”
  12. How about a break from piano lessons? “yeah, a long one.”
  13. “My Dad goes to work to drink Apple Juice and to color.”

Like all of you, I am overwhelmed and am currently working on a plan to eliminate all need for sleep so that I will have enough hours in the day. I'll let you know as soon as I have all the kinks worked out. I treasure your comments and emails. I do read them all.

    I was going to say that I liked #2 best but then I re-read #4. Great first TT.

    #5 Resonates with me. BWAhahahah! Great First TT. Welcome!

    These are great!

  4. amy ~ May 3, 2007 at 8:44 am

    Those are funny!!!! Mines up! We are having a scavenger hunt!

  5. scooper ~ May 3, 2007 at 8:46 am

    That is a great idea. I love the comment about Jesus.

  6. Babystepper ~ May 3, 2007 at 8:50 am

    Great list. Kids can be so funny. . . when they’re not making you want to pull your hair out.

  7. David ~ May 3, 2007 at 9:17 am

    Two favs from your list:

    “Can I use some of your money? I’m tired of using mine.”

    Ain’t it the truth? Well, I’m tired of using mine, so can I use yours?

    *heh*

    “Is it OK to jump off the top of the tree house?”

    When I was a kid, I found that it was better–in a kind of kid sense–to just jump off the garage roof and ask forgiveness later…

    ;-)

    I love the Jesus quote! At least you can tell they’re paying attention in Sunday School!

    My list is up!

  9. Journeywoman ~ May 3, 2007 at 9:26 am

    Great quotes.

  10. Zephra ~ May 3, 2007 at 10:10 am

    I laughed all the way through that one. One of the best TT’s ever!

  11. ali ~ May 3, 2007 at 10:37 am

  12. Jenny ~ May 3, 2007 at 11:27 am

    Great idea to put them on your Christmas cards!! It would be a card I waited for every year!
    Great pic, too

    This is a wonderful idea to use for Christmas cards. I’ll have to start writing down some of the crazy things my girls say. Your kids sound like a lot of fun. :)

  14. wifemothermaniac ~ May 3, 2007 at 11:50 am

    What a great idea well, another great idea of yours! I’m a gonna copy this one, K?!

    Thank you for your encouraging comments at my little blog, I really appreciate you SusieJ.

  15. NannyMolly ~ May 3, 2007 at 1:22 pm

    Number 8 is my fave. One must always keep ones coolness. It is essential. Especially for the adult woman.

  16. (un)relaxeddad ~ May 3, 2007 at 5:16 pm

    I’ll go for number 11! Though number 3 is pretty cool.

  17. SusieJ ~ May 3, 2007 at 6:02 pm

    Why is it that the males always go for 11? My boys — and I guess all of you males — have a fascination with anything that involves high places and jumping.

    And yes — all of you who want to steal this idea — steal away. Maybe we can put an end to the Christmas Brag Letters.

  18. Mike ~ May 3, 2007 at 6:40 pm

    Hilarious. Love number 1 best.

    Mike

  19. Jenny R ~ May 4, 2007 at 12:17 am

    These are so funny. #10 had me rolling. I think that’s my fav.

  20. Terra ~ May 4, 2007 at 12:19 am

    This was ultra cute! I love that, but hey according to my 7 year old if you are over 30 you are sexy!

  21. Wylie Kinson ~ May 4, 2007 at 12:57 am

    LOL!
    My son had a good one this week. He’s almost 3 and newly toilet trained. I bought him ‘big boy’ underwear and he declared to the world that they were ‘Carrots of the Pirabbean’ underwear!

  22. Karen (Miscellaneous Mum) ~ May 4, 2007 at 1:42 am

    Amen on #9. I use that regularly. Happy 1st TT!

  23. Paul N. ~ May 4, 2007 at 7:22 am

    Fabulous idea! Don’t ever stop doing that. (You can share their comments with their first dates.)
