There is never a dull moment at our casa, and thanks to my children I’m almost always smiling. Yes, tis’ the season for the funny things kids say and the embarrassing moments mom experiences. Isn’t it funny kids will hear you say something, three years later you thought they forgot about it, and you learn that they were just saving it for the perfect moment!
Just tonight, I told my Mattie and Vayda they could take a bath in my bathtub. It couldn’t have been 10 minutes, and I hear Mattie screaming, “Vayda where are you it’s snowing in mom’s bathroom”, and Vayda saying “Mattie shut up mom is going to kill us.” I knew it wasn’t going to be good, so I look at my husband like please go take care of this. He smiles, and stands at the bedroom door for a moment, calmly sits back down, and tells me “babe your right let’s not go in there right now. We can wait until after dinner, if we’re lucky they will get lost.”
I get the huffy puffy attitude going, and do exactly what my husband did. Stand at the door for a moment, turn around, calmly go sit next to him, and ask him if he wants corn or green beans with dinner. Yes, this type of stuff seriously happens so often we have learned how to calmly address these types of situations. Really we have learned it’s better to calm down if at all possible, lol.
Mattie is still screaming about it snowing, and Vayda’s still telling her to shut up so I don’t hear. Finally after my husband and I decide which vegetable we would like with dinner, I go into the kitchen, turn on the veggies so they are done by the time I’m done handling this snow in my bathroom. I ask my husband if he will watch the veggies, he asks our teenager if she will watch the veggies, BECAUSE HE WANTS TO WATCH THIS! No I am not kidding, not one bit!
If you’re wondering what happened, and how there was snow in my bathroom. STUPID mom, put bubbles in the bathtub, and before I left the kids unattended in the bathtub I said, “DO NOT TOUCH THIS BUTTON.” Well they touched that button! It’s to the jets in our tub, before they figured out to turn off the jets my bathroom was filled with bubbles, and I mean filled. We were scooping them out the window!
If that’s not #MotherFunny than I’m not sure what is. Luckily, this was just #MotherFunny and not an embarrassing #MotherFunny.

Here’s a few more of our Thanksgiving #MotherFunny – Funny Things Kids Say!
Mattie: “Grannie are you doing Turkey with us?” Grannie: “I sure am honey, are you excited.” Mattie: “No, because I don’t want to eat your poop.” Grannie: “What honey that’s gross you should not be talking like that.” Mattie: “Well mom said,” OMG, I blamed Catie and Catie blamed me, of course I got “The Look.” Grannie takes her cooking seriously… Lesson hard learned, I should have looked to make sure Mattie wasn’t around before Catie and I started joking about grannies cooking! My bad, it gets worse Mattie told someone from church that she was eating her grannie’s poop for Thanksgiving.
Vayda told her grandma (my mom) she was thankful my husband and I didn’t drop her on her head when she was little like she dropped her aunt Lorena (my sister). My sister still asks me what she was talking about, I play the stupid card on that one, lol. My sister dresses, EXTREME and my husband and I had been joking around about a CRAZY outfit she wore to Thanksgiving dinner, and of course our child heard us joking about it.
Catie: “Mom, today isn’t the day to ask me to make my bed. I have to be Thanksgiving at school.”
Mattie: “I cannot stop crying, because Vayda put buggers in the Cherry Pie.” Me: “No she didn’t.” Mattie: “Yes she did mom I tasted one.”
Why do my kids love to talk about farts, and pooping with their cousin while eating Thanksgiving dinner?
Mattie: “When you fart does a bubble come out your butt too.”
Catie: “Don’t fart in your wetsuit, you will float away forever.”
Vayda: “Never trust a fart. Always go to the bathroom, because it might not really be a fart.” (Teaching her younger cousin, who was also potty training)
Mattie: “Mom, the turkey taste rectal.” She was trying to say radical, like her big sister, lol.
Not to worry, my kids are normal! Seems that all kids talk about farts, and pooping! Swing by NickMom, and search fart! You will find some pretty darn funny stuff!
Vayda: “Did you make those cookies all by yourself? Good job mom, I didn’t know you could do that. I’m proud of you, give me a hug. Can I have one?”
Vayda: I had Thanksgiving with Vayda at her school, and she told her teacher, “My sister doesn’t need any turkey, she’s still eating my mom’s boobs.”
Vayda: After we ate all the kids got up in front of their classmates and said what they were thankful for. Yes, I couldn’t stop laughing after she said, “I’m thankful for my mom’s psycho powers. She always knows what I need, and what presents to get me.”
Last one, but I cannot leave this one out. Mattie goes to pre/preschool for a few hours on Tuesday and Thursday. Anyway, normally I show up about 10 minutes early, and wait outside her classroom until she is finished. On Tuesday I didn’t show up until right when it was time for her to get out. She came running up to me, “MOM!!!! Oh, mom I was totally freaking out. You were late, my teacher wanted to cook me. She said she was going to put me in the oven, you were not here you were late, and I was totally freaking out mom.” Her hands were flying, and she was in a major panic.
It took us a little bit to figure out what she was talking about, but her teacher was talking to some of the parents about what they needed to bring for their Thanksgiving party. She told some of them that she school was going to cook the turkey, so that was not something they needed to worry about. I guess Mattie assumed that because I wasn’t there yet, and one of her nicknames is Turkey she assumed it was her going in the oven, haha.
Happy Holidays Everyone! May your Thanksgiving be filled with smiles and laughs from all the funny things kids say and do!

I’ve got one for you….when one of my boys was about 1 1/2 -2 years old, he had this big thing for trucks. Every time he saw one he would point, jump up and down and start yelling, “truck! truck! truck!”. You might be asking yourself, “What’s so bad about that?”. The problem was he had a hard time with consonant blends — tr in particular. His tr came out like an f so it sounded like he was dropping f-bombs all over the place! And yes,, of course, in front of the church ladies, the pastor and everyone else he could embarrass me in front of. Oh the looks I got! I can laugh about it now but it sure was uncomfortable back then!
Kids are so embarrassing, and it’s hard to remember that we should keep our big mouths closed around them as much as possible. I Love NickMom because it’s great at reminding me I’m not the only crazy person out there. #client
Very funny!! Thank you for sharing these funny moments and the great website.
Kids do say the funniest things. It’s even more funny because of their innocence.
It sounds like you sure have fun at home!!!!!!!
