Kids, am I right?

So my wife, my 2 yr daughter, and I all went out to a Bible study earlier. During the middle of the lesson, my kid (of course), while reading a Disney Cars book, starts shouting the one word I keep forgetting she knows, “FIRE! FIRE!”

I quickly snap back “[her name], there is no fire!” So she responds with “NO FIRE! NO FIRE!”

I know, she’s two, she’s learning fun new words, but she’s gonna have to learn there are times you shouldn’t say some words. Especially a word that can cause panic in a building. Thankfully no one heard it, or they pretended not to hear it.

The weird thing is, we never taught her this word. She picked it up because we have a wood burning stove and we always say, “you want me to start a fire?” (Which is what I'm doing while writing this).

Still, she’s giving me great fuel to share at her graduation. As a father, it is my role to embarrass her. :)

Kids are hilarious. I remember a time mine was still a toddler in a car seat when we pulled up next to a group of ruffians on Harleys. She looks over at them out her window “Hey guys, want to come to MY HOUSE and drink some beers and watch some BASEBALL *maniacal giggle*”

I just walked over to repeat the phrase, she told me to shut up.

Kids, am I right? Mine is whining right now, no particular reason. Oh, now she’s singing to a musical toy, but she’s still whining so it just sounds humorously pathetic. :)

Every time my 2-year old sees a flame, she says “Happy Birthday” and tries to blow it out. Including when the gas stove top is on. It’s hilarious.

If I cut the crust off of the sandwich my kids still don’t eat the edge.

Oh, I so want my kid to do this. We discovered that she will eat pita chips, and she loves dipping them in hummus (just like me) but if she dips them, she won’t eat them. So she gets another and dips it again. It’s like “child, eat your food”. She also takes any of her food and tries to feed me. Usually when I have food in my hand and mouth.

That’s usually where I step in. I eat it while saying “oh this is soooo good. It’s delicious! Mmmm, yummy!” If anything, I'll make them jealous that they didn't eat it.

Ha! Mine has become obsessed with condiments, but she will eat what she dips. She even once dipped her pancakes in ketchup (yuk!). We know she’s full, when she starts feeding us her food.

Haha. Mine likes to keep dipping the same tortilla chip into the salsa, she doesn't even eat the chip. And it's medium salsa too. She makes me proud, *sniff*

i’ve tried that, 99% of the time it doesn;t work. I broke the crustless edge into bite size pieces and she didn;t realize it was the same thing and ate it.

even with stuff they’d actually like, they just look at it and decide it will never be entering their mouth.

Nice! Mine will eat the chip eventually, after she dips with it a few times. Or sometimes she’ll eat part of the chip, and then want to feed me the rest of her soggy chip, so she can get another chip.

Yes. She’s a funny one. High IQ but little self control. I questioned her later where she came up with this and her response was that I was telling jokes to a passenger in the car and she was jealous. She couldn’t have been more than 6. As a teenager now her jokes are far funnier than mine and she has a great attitude about it.
