Out of the mouth of babes

Everyday the kids say something funny.  In most cases, I forget to write these down, but I finally collected a few vignettes.  I apologize in advance for all the stories centered around the bathroom....

1) At an Ultimate game Darwyn declared that she had to go pee.  I carted Darwyn on my hip to the port-a-potty, a little worried that she wouldn't want to use it.  I need not have worried.  When we got there Darwyn looked at it with interest and excitement.  She kept staring between her legs into the disgusting chemical tank and declaring "Mommy, this is a muddy potty!"  I decided not to set her straight (although Max did later when he heard the story).

2) Darwyn came careening into the kitchen one day, slipped and did a spectacular fall on the tile floor.  Whimpering a little she righted herself and said, "well, that wasn't too bright".

3) It was Canada day and we had dragged our kids out to the middle of a crowded field to watch the fireworks.  Darwyn had been doing well with her potty training, but tended to take it upon herself to use the great outdoors whenever she pleased.  Suddenly, surrounded by the crowd, she pulled down her underwear and squatted in the middle of the field.  He face contorted with effort as I stared in shock.  Then she stood up with a huge smile and declared "just farts!"

4) A baby sitter had come over to watch the kids for the evening.  She noticed the kids huge dollhouse and said "Oh wow Max!  Is that dollhouse yours?"  Max looked at her as though she was missing a few brain cells.  "No....I'm too big to fit in there."

5) Max was doing his usual rough housing on the couch.  He did some sort of karate move and wound up landing on Anne.  Anne started to protest and Max proclaimed "I'm sorry I hit you Annie, but you were in the wrong spot!"

6) Darwyn was unusually grumpy at breakfast and I said "Geez Darwyn, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?"  Of course, the kids had never heard this expression and wanted to know what it meant.  I explained that there were a number of expressions we used when people were grumpy.  There favorite was "Who peed in your cereal?"  Max decided it would be fun to make up a new expression.  "I've got one mom!  'Geez, who chopped off your head?'....'cause that would make you grumpy, right mom?"

7) Darwyn was eating her meal at the river and spilled a little food on her lap.  She sighed audibly and said to herself "Oh Dar Dar..."

8) When asked her name Darwyn always replies "Darwyn Doodle."
