Funny things your kids said or did.

My daughter can't seem to properly pronounce the word "ridiculous." It comes out sounding like "dickless."

Needless to say, her aunts and uncles love telling her to go tell her father that he's ridiculous.

One night, she was three, I went in to make sure her blanket was covering her. She was under it completely, and wide awake. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "Hiding from 'injas."

Ok to make this more game related then. A few months ago, about a week or 2 after GR came out my daughter said something to me that made my heart go pitter pat and drew a tear to my eye. (nowadays this is very rare) She asked me if she could play CoX for a bit. I was so happy I said yes, here let me start it up for you. She played CoX for a good 3 hours or so. She plays very rarely but when she does play it makes me all mushy inside to see her share a similiar interest with her mom.

My son took me down twice in PvP.

When he was a baby, he was sleeping in a little reclining seat by the computer. I was in Warburg, gathering launch codes. As I got the last code, I rushed to turn them in. He rustled a little in his seat, as he was almost awake.
I got to the terminal and clicked on it as he opened his eyes.
As the rocket started to take off, he arched his little back....."BlooooOOOOooorp!"
Guess I got a Biological Payload onthat one.

After he was more moblie, I was in Siren's Call, gathering badges, keeping my chatbox closed, never stopping more than a second and a careful eye out for potential foes.
BLACKSCREEN STRIKE!! Computer starts to cycle and I look down to see his little finger on the oh-so-shiny button on the front of the computer. Awesome design plan, guys.

Nowadays, he sits on my lap and watches my "shooty robots" and demands to turn my character's rocket boots on and off. Some random button-pressing and the theft of the mouse's wristpad.

While driving out to a breakfast restaurant, I ask my 3yo son what he wants for breakfast.

He answers "Roffles!"
Me "What?"
"ROFFLES!!!"
I turn to my wife "Is he saying ROFL?"
"RAAAWFLEZZZ!!!"
"I don't understand you dude!"
"Dey square and you put syrup on dem! RAAWFLEZ!!!"
"OH! Waffles..."

Been waiting for the longest time to tell this one.

I picked up some food from a resturant one afternoon. I decided to eat near my daughter, who hadn't started walking yet. After taking a few bites, I decided to grab a soda from the kitchen. I wasn't gone for very long, but when I returned.......

.....the baby had dumped all of my food onto the floor. She had the now empty plate in her hand, and was waving it in the air while making a grunting sound. My wife never saw her do this, since she was looking at the TV.

How could anyone get mad at that though? It was too funny, and she was having so much fun with the plate. I ate the food after putting it in the microwave.

Another recent instance: When I arrive home one day, I see one of my Batman comics in the middle of the living room floor. Ms. Maam (one of my nicknames for my daughter) had gone into the back room, pulled out that particular comic and bought it into the living room and began "reading" it. I'm still laughing about it even though it happened a few days ago.


Oh, and this last one can't be explained, only seen:

Had an educational session last night with my girls (5 and 2) . This particular session involved using Youtube to show my girls who the various superheroes, and the session's topic was Wonder Woman. Specifically, clips from the old TV show, because the older one likes the flash when she changes into costume.

About 20 minutes later, I had the two year old up in another room with my wife and, just to see what happened, asked her to "twirl like Wonder Woman." This, despite the fact that I had never actually showed her Wonder Woman before that evening. Sure enough, she stands up, spreads her arms, twists slightly one way in a wind-up, then proceeds to twirl in the other direction.

I've rarely been so proud.

I used to read to my daughter, but now she reads to me.

i was called into my son's school a while ago over an 'incident' in class that ultimately turned out to have been entirely untrue. the reason i was called down though was not due to the incident, it had been resolved reasonably quickly.

when confronted in a harsh way by the teacher he apparently quite calmly looked the teacher over and proclaimed:

'i don't speak jackass'.

i <3 my kid

Well kinda game related i guess. Just not this game

My 8 year old was taking her turn playing Soul Calibure 4 on my 360. My 10 year old was of course right next to her waiting for his turn and was being bossy with her. My wife and I are up stairs half listening half talking about grown up stuff when we hear "NO F'ING DUH JOEY!!!!" just be screamed at the top of her lungs from down stairs. Only she didnt say "F'ing" she said the word.

After the split second of pure joy i get to experience before i have to become parental, we respond "what did you say?" her excuse was that Joey wouldnt leave her alone to play and therefore he made her say it.

When my sister was around 5 years old, one day, out of the blue she says "When I die, I'm taking all my friends with me!"

No kids of my own yet. Actually, I hold a similar view as Sam. At 21, I'm practically standing at the front door screaming "get off my lawn" to the neighborhood kids, and feel an immediate urge to leave a restaurant the second a small kid starts making noise. So I'll tell a funny story about me.

Apparently, when I was little I couldn't pronounce the word "fox" correctly. So I called it a "fock". While my parents thought it hilarious, my aunt brought up the point that they may want to educated me on how to say the word correctly before I see a fox run across the church parking lot. My parents then emphasized the X sound, so for a while I referred to the animal as a "foXxxxx".

Fleeting Whisper you mean you have never heard of perogies. They are flavored mashed potato filled pasta dumplings. My favorite are Mrs. Ts' potato and chedder cheese. yummy .
