I was looking through the archives of this thread and saw that there was a story of a cat named "Pregnant." My cat was named "Puffy" because she was pregnant at the time we adopted her.

My son plays World of Goo, a physics computer game. He has astuffed polar bear we both love very much. He designed some "goo balls" for the game that were white and shaped like the bear's head with the bear's face and ears. He squeezed the bear's neck and said "Where I'm squeezing is the end of the gooball."

When my brother was about three he was being particularly fidgety one evening my stepmom asked him if he had
ants in his pants' he pulled the waistband of his pants open had a good look inside and then said: "There are no ants in my pants!"

Son: yep
Me: would you like a clone of you?
Son: yep
Me: what would you do if you had a clone of you?
Son: I'd get the sharpest knife from the kitchen and stab it to death.
Me: 8O

Completely out of the blue, my son asked: “Mom, do you have any experience with a machete?”

I have had experience with a machete, so now I’m cool for once. I was helping clear land for a horse pasture.

Wow, that's really interesting, twilightprincess! It's really interesting when an unusual occurrence becomes an opportunity to bond.

My son and I went into a rarely used corridor of a big hospital for a doctor’s appointment.

Once we were inside, he said: “It’s so quiet and unsettling in here.”

Twilightprincess,

My mother gave me a love of books that has lasted to this day. I feel sad that I never got to share that, and my love of animals, another thing I inherited from my mom, with children of my own. Those are two gifts I could have given someone else, but it never happened.

When my dad is being obnoxiously conservative, my son says: “Pap is a BOOMER!”

At such times, it’s hard not to laugh.

“I’m proud of you, Mom.”

Awww...

He didn’t even want something.

I was working with a girl in an autism support class. We were doing sight word flash cards. She was kind of bored but hanging in there. When we got to the word “pretty,” her face lit up, she smiled, and said: “Pretty! I like that word!”

It was so cute. She’s such a girly girl.

If I work with her again, I’ll make sure to incorporate that word into the lesson.

My kid and I were talking about discipline in school. He said that when a teacher sighs heavily it should count as discipline because it’s “the sound of disappointment.”
