My sister-in-law usually scolds them when they get the ice themselves, though. So the dogs start barking in the kitchen, facing toward the fridge, to get an ice cube to play with. Joanne, my sister-in-law, presses the lever and gets ice cubes out for the dogs to play with. The dogs are having a great time. My daughter wants to join in, so she points to the ice dispenser and starts barking. What funny things are your kids up to these days?

Not two minutes later we are at the check out line and a hefty woman grabs a candy and my daughter yells "You're right - candy does make you fat" I could have died.
Originally Posted By goodgirl I took two of my nieces to Disneyland a couple years ago. We missed our flight home and had to wait three hours to catch another one home. There wasn't a lot of choices to hang out at the Anaheim airport and we found ourselves sitting in that little guitar bar near our gate. There were other families with kids in there so I felt comfortable sitting at a table with the girls playing cards. They ordered Cokes. I ordered a beer. I'm not really a beer drinker but it really sounded good. However, I felt a little self concious about it so I consumed it very slowly, something like over an hour. At one point, 11 year old Kristen says "Wow! You're still drinking your first beer!?! My mom would have had threee of them gone by now!"

She went right up to him and told him that he was going to die if he kept smoking. the odd thing is we had only told her that they were bad. She decided that it ment he would die. He stoped smoking 2 weeks later.
Originally Posted By officerminnie I took my then 5 year old to a local ice skating show. There were the usual groups performing, from little tiny cute kids up to the more advanced young adults. There also was a beginner adult class, which included some older and rather chunky folks. When one of the heavier women fell, my son leaned over to me and said innocently and very seriously "See, that's why fat ladies shouldn't skate". I think it was one of those "you had to be there" things, but it struck me as funny at the time and I had to really bite my tongue so he wouldnt' see me laugh .
Originally Posted By officerminnie Oh, and in case that sounded wrong, I wasn't laughing at the fact the poor woman fell, I just found the "out of the mouths of babes" comment amusing.
