Muchkin Memories

Kids say the funnist things sometimes. I keep a little notebook for each of my kids and write them down so that I don't forget what they said. One day, I'll give them these notebooks and they can have a little laugh about the silly things they said.

If you have some cute Muchkin Memories, please share them with the rest of us! Email Me

For safety reasons, I won't put any real names on the internet...so boys will be called "Joey" and girls will be called "Sally."


Girl - age 4
During a dry spell in the summer, the following conversation occured between a mother and daughter:

Mom:   "Look how dry that grass is. We really need some rain"
Girl:   "Mom, maybe you should start cussing."
Mom:   "What good would that do?"
Girl:   "Because Jesus cries when you cuss!"


Boy - age 4
Bedtime Prayer:

Dear Lord, please keep holding the earth and please don't drop us. And Lord, please don't let the earth's batteries run down. In Jesus' name, Amen


Boy - age 3
I saw my son fall out of a swing and when he came crying to me I asked him "where did you get hurt?" He pointed at the swing and said "over there."


Girl - age 3
Grandma gave Sally a gold dollar. She immediately put it in her mouth and bit down on it. Grandma asked her what she was doing. She said "there's chocolate in here."


Boy - age 2
Joey was learning the potty training thing. Finally, he managed to have a bowel movement while sitting on the toilet. His mother was telling him how wonderful he was.

After a minute, Joey says "Mom, I think I need another bath." When Mom asked why, Joey said, "Because my knees stink!"


Boy - age 2
Mom and son were visiting a friend who had cats. Not being used to cats, little Joey was fascinated. He played with the cat for some time, but as kids sometimes do, he started to get too rough with the cat and he got a nasty scratch. Joey came running to Mom
"MOM! that kitty bit me with his foot!"


Girl - age 3
Sally learned the old nursery song "There was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly." About a week later she woke up with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. She said "Mom, I'm sick." when Mom asked what was wrong, Sally replied "I think I swallowed a fly!"


Boy - age 4
One of the Sunday School leasons involved memorizing a verse from the Bible. All the kids were supposed to memorize John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

My son was having a little trouble. He kept saying it this way:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only forgotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Boy - age 4
Little Joey lost his first tooth. When he went for a visit, Grandma said "Joey! You lost your tooth!" Joey said, "No I didn't. It's at home in a jar."


Girl - age 4
Winnie the Pooh is a great favorite of my daughter. When I told her to finish her supper, she said, "Mom, I can't eat any more. I'm stuffed with fluff!"


Girl- age 4
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs.

One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"


Boy - age 5
When my son was in Kindergarden I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. He replied "a first grader."


Girl - age 5
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about six years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, "Are you a cop?" "Yes," I answered and continued writing the report. "My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?" "Yes, that's right," I told her. "Well then," she said as she extended her foot toward me, "would you please tie my shoe?"


Boy - age 6
My son is constantly "designing" boats, plans, trains, and automobiles. He makes elaborate drawings and diagrams. I told him he would have to go to college and study to become an engineer. He replied, "Mom, you don't have to go to college to learn to drive a train!"


Girl
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit."

"And why not, darling?" her daddy asked.
"You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning," the little girl replied.


Boy - age 5
If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church would that get me into Heaven?" I asked the children in my Sunday School class.
"NO!" the children all answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?
Again, the answer was, "NO!"
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children, and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.
Again, they all answered, "NO!"
"Well", I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"
A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!"


Girl - age 5
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write - and they won't let me talk!"


Boy
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it.

What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
"Mama, look what I found," the boy called out.
"What have you got there, dear?", his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered,
"I think it's Adam's underwear."


Boy - age 5
Grandma gave Joey a few dollars for helping with some chores. "Now Joey, when you get home, put that money in your room someplace safe." Joey replied, "Good idea, that way the tooth fairy won't get it."


Boy - age 6
"Mom, why do some guys have real long hair?"
"Oh, I don't know"
"I think the pony tails give them balance when they ride their motorcycles."


Boy - age 5
Son: "When Daddy was my age, there was no color, everything was either black or white."
Mom: "No, no, that was just on the TV!"


Boy - age 6
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate building materials for his home. She read, "and so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused then asked the class, " And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said...Holy shit? A talking Pig?'
