Funny things that children say

My 2 year old is going through this phase where she constantly says "Alle beide." It doesn't matter what the context really, anything that comes in pairs she'll point out that it's "Alle beide."

So we were walking back from the babysitter's today and on the way we saw this woman (rather homely, might I add) walking towards us with her dog. When they were directly in front of us, I turned to Olivia and said, "Oh, look, Olivia! There's a dog." And Olivia turned around and smiled and said, "JA. Alle beide." It was the cleverest thing I've heard all day. Something tells me she's going to grow up and be just like her mother. or rather .

Edit: Sorry, I know the title's stupid, but I couldn't think of what else to call it.

My son was about 2; he saw this huge black and white Great Dane and said in utter conviction, "Cow!".

when oscar was three. in the zoo. sees polar bear and says... look maus!

nice. When my brother was 3 he saw a bull mounting a cow and was like, "LOOK!! Those cows are fighting!!"

He obviously wasn't part of the 4H cow tipping crew eh ?

When my eldest was three she would often say to me, 'if you say so mummy' in that voice that says just because you're my mum does not mean you know better.

Must have been a couple of months ago when me and me boy were travellin' into town on the U6. This old lady was tryin' to befriend me boy with the 'coochie-coos'. He first said, "Du bis alt" to her, and when she answered, "Ja, ja" he then said, "Und du bis blöd". Gotta love the boy.

My 6 year old daughter recently asked her mother if you needed a man to have a baby. When informed that a man might be essential, her next question was whether you had to hang on to him afterwards. Reasssured by her mother's response that it wasn't necessary to retain the man she said she would get rid of him straight away afterwards.

So I can now compress all my prepared "concerned father in the living room talking to daughter's new boyfriend" speeches into one sentence.

"Son, don't bother getting used to it"

It's not only what they say . . . .

My son grew up bi-lingual, but he began learning his numbers in German. On a train ride between Boston and Baltimore he kept wanting to know "What comes after...?" Such an innocent four year old he was asking in in a very loud voice,"Mama, what comes after sechs?"

When he was five and I asked if he would like some dessert he answered," Yes, please...but could I have something that isn't bio-degradable?" I assume he was trying to avoid the impending applesauce!

I was taking the kids out the other day and we were on the s bahn and a rather big build policeman got on the train and sat by us...the five year old was messing about and i kept telling him that he better sit down and behave or the policeman would tell him off...so he turned round and said "thats not a policeman ive seen loads of policemen but ive never seen a fat one before so he cant be a policemen cos policemen have to run far and fat people cant run" well i almost died luckily the policeman saw the funny side but i didnt know where to look.

@northernstar
Where do you think he learned that fat people can't run and that fat people can't be policemen?

From life?

Either their parents say stuff like that in front of them or they pick it up from other little kids whose parents have said stuff like that in front of them.
