Quotes From My Middle Child

I’m always grateful for unexpected, belly-laugh moments in parenting—when one of my kids does or says something so funny it actually takes me out of myself and gives me perspective amid the “dailyness” of raising three children.

All of my kids are quite verbal—(I have no idea how they got that way)—so on any given day, one of them is bound to say something “quoteworthy”. But lately it’s my middle child who’s been taking the cake in the Funny Quote Contest, so I thought I’d share some of his recent best.

Be forewarned that bathroom humor is to follow. Actually, his best quote from the last couple of months is unprintable. And really it requires hand motions anyway.

Here’s some I can share with you:

“Mom, a long time ago, when the captain pirates were first teaching the regular guys how to be pirates, did they use minivans?”
..............................

[While passing gas on the toilet:]“Mom, come listen to this. Do you here all those gas bubbles? It’s like they’re all talking to each other. Except we speak English, and they speak Toot.”
..............................

"Mom, when can you sign me up for Utah?"

"Why do you ask honey? What’s in Utah?"

"There’s lots of little dogs that eat things there. Jackson goes there. It’s a city. You mostly take a motorcycle or a helicopter to get there, because it’s far away. It takes a long time, because it’s another country."
.............................

"Dad, I told Theresa at school that when I stare at her, my eyes turn into hearts."

He also recently asked if he could grow his hair long,
because he wants to be a rock star

  1. This is so precious! You couldn't script anything better. :) I shared Joey's quote about his eyes turning into hearts when we were out in California for our Epic National Team meetings last week. They all found it so funny! The next day Lucy's kids were watching Picachu and saw one of the characters eyes turn into hearts when he was in love. Haha!
