We all have ‘em. The funny little things our kids do and say. The type that make you hide your face so that you can laugh hysterically, but you don’t want your child(ren) to know that you found these antics so riotous. So why not pull one of your best out your memory banks and share here in the comments? We can all use a good laugh. I’ve got a couple to share. Both on my oldest son. Not that my youngest doesn’t have any good stories, but these were handy.

I believe my oldest son was around 4 when he wanted to use some glue.
Me: “Where are you going with the glue?” as he heads out of the living room/dining room, and more importantly, out of my sight.
Son: “I’m going to use the glue.”
Me: “What are you using it for?”
Son: “I’m putting it on the stairs.”
Me: “Why are you putting glue on the stairs?”
Son: “So I can have my brother come sit on the stairs and stick to them.”
Gee, I should’ve guessed as much. How convenient to stick your little brother to the stairs. That would definitely keep him out of toys, out of the way, and out of your hair!

When my oldest son was about 3ish, he had tossed a tiny little rabbit (toy rabbit – he doesn’t throw real bunnies) up in our living room and it conveniently landed on a swag hanging over the entry door to the room. He quickly assessed the situation and formulated a brilliant plan.
1. Stand on the back of the couch (perpendicular to said door & around 6-7′ away)
2. Hold strings to the shades at the window behind the couch
3. Go to far end of couch (even more feet away from swag over door)
4. Run along back of couch and swing (Tarzan-style) over to the swag and rescue little rabbit
Sadly, his mother walked into the room just before step #4 commenced (or maybe it would have been sadder had I not). Needless to say, there was no Tarzan yell or wild swing in the living room that day. I was kind enough to rescue the rabbit, so everyone was safe and sound.
