Most parents, grandparents, aunts/uncles, caregivers, etc... have stories of the profound, profane, preposterous, (and just plain hilarious,) things we've heard the pint-sized people in our lives say. My friends and siblings have asked me many times to set up a blog devoted to these munchkin musings. So, here it is! Please, enjoy! And feel free to add your own amusing anecdotes.

Music is open to interpretation
My 2year-old friend Marie loves to sing! (Especially songs by the Beatles.) Last Friday, we were playing playdoh and singing all like 97 verses of "The Wheels on the Bus." I asked her what she wanted to sing next, to which she replied, "old Madonna." I was thinking she meant Borderline or Holiday, she was thinking E-I-E-I-O!
Sith happens!
My 3year-old nephew has a tee shirt that says CUDDLY on it. His mama went to give him a hug and said, "You really are cuddly!" to which he replied, "No, I not! I Darth Vader!"
Pretty? Princess.
My 6year-old niece was playing dress-up with her friends. I overheard her telling them which princesses they got to be in the game. She said to them, "You're Snow White, you're Sleeping Beauty, you're Cinderella, and I'M the Virgin Queen." One of the girls asked her, "what does virgin mean?" She shrugged her shoulders, and replied, "I don't know, beautiful or something!"
Southern Tots Meteoro-theo-logy
A few years ago, I was putting my 3year-old sister's shoes on her feet. Tiny hailstones began pelting outside the sliding glass door next to her head. She asked, "What's that noise? Popcorn?" I replied, "No. That's hail. Do you know what HAIL is?" Her face got very serious as she answered, "Yeah. That's where the Debil(Devil) lives!"
Uh Oh, GOTTA GO!
This one was told to me by one of the ladies I babysit for...
I went to the conservatory the other day with my 2yr old, Marie, who is potty training. She had a (number 2) accident in her Pull-Up, so we went to the bathroom to clean it up. We got there at the same time as a rather plump lady, who was about to use the handicapped stall. The lady said we could use it because the changing table is in it. While I was cleaning up Marie, we heard the lady start urinating. Marie whispers, "Mommy, she's peeing!" I replied,"Shh! I know, honey." Then, the lady tooted, and Marie says "She TOOTed!" I quietly reiterated, "Shh! I KNOW, honey!" Then, we heard the sounds of number 2, and Marie shouted, "Yay! She's POOPing!!!" I was trying so hard not to laugh, while simultaneously trying to clean up a wiggly 2year-old. But, when Marie turned to me and said, "Wow! SOMETHING stinks in here!" I lost it!
