Star Wars

Last night we were watching The Empire Strikes Back. Little Man was getting increasingly concerned about why they were putting Han Solo in the carbon freezing chamber.
“What are they doing? Why is he in there?”
Then, as they are pulling Han out,
“Why did they make him a chocolate bar?”

Got Milk?
Four year old Mia: “Why does nana’s dog have boobies?”
Me: “It’s for her puppies to feed from. They get their milk from there. Like you and Dan had your milk from me when you were little babies.”
Pause for thought.
Followed by uncontrollable laughter.
Pause.
More uncontrollable laughter.
Pause.
Mia (suddenly serious face): “I did stop having your milk didn’t I?”

Dinner Time
Note: Welcome to week two of Things My Child Says. Thank you for all the great quotes and photos! I’ve decided to do something a bit different with the website, in order to generate a bit more conversation in the comments.
Rather than simply present three quotes and closing out the post, I am going to include anywhere from one to three quotes on a subject and then ask for your best related stories or quotes in the comments section. From time to time, I’ll pull the best quotes from the comments and make them their own post on the front page.
On to this week’s quote...
I recently made a rather lovely chicken pot pie, from scratch. Straight out of the oven it looked just like a fruit pie and my 4 year old daughter Violet was pretty excited about eating pie for dinner. She sat in her chair and anxiously watched me cut into the crust.
To say she was disappointed with the filling is an understatement. She got up and came around for a closer look and said to me,
“That’s not how I like pie. It has soup under it!”
She did not eat pie for dinner that night.

Burning Down The House
E's first mashed potatoes Aug. 2008
My two year old son, E, was eating dinner the other night when he looked up and asked me,
“Daddy, can I have more mashed potato head please?”

Sam was watching as his father tended to Sam’s little brother, Jack, who had managed to get a cast off his broken arm. Dad was trying to get it back on his hand and said to Jack,
“If the doctor sees your hand out of your cast he’ll be very angry”.
Sam: “How Angry?”
Dad: “I don’t know mate, pretty angry”
Sam: “Angry enough to burn our house down?”

This is for my sister who died of cancer.
Her three year old daughter Morgan looked at the huge “testicle sack” of their huge Rottweiler dog and said,
“Mommy, Jake poo-poo’d in his pants.”

Learning Your Colors
My 4-year old son (3 at the time), Little Man, needed to clean up some toys in his room. I asked him if he needed any help and he tells me:
“Nope, I have it all under the troll.”

My son, Ryan, was 6 years old. We were at a nice restaurant eating lunch. Earlier in the day my son had been snacking on a packet of chewy, fruit-flavored candy called Gushers. He must have tucked one of the candies into his pocket.
Sitting in the restaurant and feeling bored, Ryan searched his pockets for a toy to play with at the table and found the candy piece. He then loudly exclaimed with great alarm:
“Uh-oh Mom, I’ve got a gusher in my pants!”

Several years ago, my then four-year-old son, “Felix”, was learning his colors in Pre-K. Driving through a not-so-nice neighborhood in Houston, TX, Felix is pointing out objects and naming their color. A Stop sign is “Look Mommy, red!”; an awning is “Look, Daddy, green!”
Bear in mind that it is hot as Hades in south Texas, and our car had no A/C, so the windows were down. Pulling up to an intersection, we catch sight of a group of gang members standing on the corner. Both stoplights are out of order and covered in plastic, so everyone is taking turns passing through.
My son looks up and exclaims, loudly,
“Look Mommy, Blacks! Blacks, Mommy. Look, Blacks!”
We didn’t wait our turn.
