When I was very young I said, when I'm older I want to be a birthday cake, and pronounced it "buffy cake." Apparently I was a funny kid.

Newsflash, peeps: you can't tell the quality of a person's parenting from their posting style on a messageboard, so shut up about who's a better parent.

Short and sweet; Jinju you are a pratt!

My two year old son just asked me if I was seven years old.

7 year old: "Why don't you sex someone, you big lover."

4 year old: "I put poopies and seaweed on your face."

Different situations, still cute as hell.

Regardless of who is a better parent, this potentially amusing thread has certainly been hijacked...

And take it from someone whose "baby" is 34 years old - to talk, even tongue in cheek, about your parenting skills when your children are still in diapers, or even wearing toddler clothes, is rather amusing...

I was disagreeing about something with a little girl here in Korea and said to her:

No! Not at all!

She looked back at me with these huge eyes and said:

Yes! At all!

It was quite cute and clever.

As I walk into the toilet, one of my 6 year old students comes running out and sees me:
"[SirFro] Teacher! XXXXX Teacher 똥 싼데요! He is pooping!"
I was so happy to hear her use the present progressive!

Jinju, my dear man. Your child is four months old. He/she doesn't even speak yet.

Children will swear eventually. That is almost an immutable truth. The more important question is whether you are being a good parent in all the other ways that count. I think that your thinking that you are a good parent shows that you are trying very hard. Good for you. But, kids, let's not pass judgement.

My daughter said, how come people have a column of flesh between their eyes, as a nose, and yet people do not see that column when they are looking around? I was at a loss for words for a while. She was 7, or someting, at the time.

After she said that, I didn't know whether to sign her up for Mensa camp of have her brain examined. She is, by good grace, normal and well adjusted. She is quite precious to me.

I was talking with my mum the other day and she told me that Letty was old enough to learn her own name and our phone number, in case she got lost.

So I tested her and see if she knew what her name was..

I went: Letty, what's your name?

She went: BB Kim (BB is her nickname - it's how people call their babies in Hong Kong).

Then I asked.. what's my name.. she went *Mummy Kim*.. daddy? *Daddy Kim*.... Doggie? *woof woof kim*... Kitty cat? *yamyam Kim*...

Hehehe...

I was giving her a bath the other day (no she has a bath DAILY, not like we only bathe her once a week) and I asked her:

Me: Please lift your chin up so mummy could wash under...

Letty: No.

Me: Please lift your arms so I could wash your armpits...

Letty: No.

Me: Please lift your legs so I could wash your feet...

Letty: No.

Me: Letty, stop saying no. Say *yes, mummy*, *ok, mummy*, *here, mummy*.

Letty: OK, mummy. No.

[Big_Bird]

Haha, that sounds so gorgeous tzechuk! Letty is just so adorable.

And I've enjoyed reading the other stories from parents and teachers. So cute! Keep 'em coming.

My 2 year old son keeps trying to jump on his baby brother's back while he's trying to crawl. The first time he did it he kept saying "riding a horse!" He tried to do it just now and I said "No. Don't you do that that. The baby is not a horse!" and he said, "No mummy, he is a sheep."

[Dazed and Confused]

From the mouth of my 7 year old neice. Who is in the US. She often calls women "Mom" for some reason.

Her: MOM?
me: UH? I'm not your mom!
her: Oh yeah.......
me: Why are you calling me mom? no one calls me mom. I don't have kids
her: Yes you do. Your kids are in Korea.
me: No. I don't have kids. There is only me and your uncle at the house. Well there are the dogs but they don't call me mom.
her: Oh....

later on the phone...........

her: where are you? Are you at Granny's house?
me: No. I"m at my house. why?
her: In Korea.
me: yes in korea.
her: Are your Korean kids there?
me:

[tzechuk]

May be she confused them with your students.
