11 year old: Good job. You tied your own shoes.
5 y/o: Thanks.
11: But your shoes are on the wrong feet.
5: Oh.
8 y/o: Dad, I’m not feeling good enough to have breakfast.
Dad: OK.
8 y/o: Maybe just like a little snack would help.
Dad: Ha! No. Good try though.
Scene: The three year old and I were in the van.
3 y/o: Dad, where are we going?
Dad: We’re going to get food for the house.
3 y/o: What?! The house doesn’t eat food?
Dad: Ha!
3 y/o: When did I get so funny?
My three year old girl and my five year old son were sitting in the front room.
5 y/o: (longing in his voice) If only we had dynamite.
3 y/o: That would be so cool.

Lol!
My son, Aaron, just learned the word "princess" from somewhere. The other day, he called a Disney character a princess.
Me: Yes, that is a princess! Princess Belle!
Aaron: Princess…Aaron…?
Me: No. Prince Aaron.
Aaron: *crying*
Later…
Me: Mama's a princess. Princess Mama.
Aaron: No mama princess.
Me: Yes, Princess Mama.
Aaron: No.
*whife shows him he wedding picture and her big white dress*
Aaron: *eyes and smile getting big* Princess Mama!

It's the three-year-old that's got me. The claws, the bananas, when did I get so funny…I love this child.

Oh kids are just so precious especially in the toddler years..
My two year old nephew was sitting on his mom's lap and all of a sudden he looked up and stared intently at her chin. Finally he stopped staring, pointed to the huge zit on my sis-in-law's chin and said: "eeeewww, what's that?" I still laugh at that especially her reaction to it all. She was too shocked to say anything.
Thanks for sharing these. Another testament of how precious and valuable children are.

My son was talking to my wife once when…
Evelyn (from the hallway): Help! Help!
Peter: *sigh* I have to go rescue another princess.
Well worth the $384,000 the two of them are alleged to cost me.

Here's a good one from our house recently:
It was time to get the kids to bed. Our two-year-old son was looking around for something on the couch.
Me: What are you looking for?
2yo: Cat.
Me: Cat? What cat? [We don't have a cat.]
2yo: Cat!
Me: Cat? I don't see any cat.
2yo: Cat!!
Me: Well, let's go upstairs and get ready for bed, and we will ask Mommy about the cat. Maybe she knows where it is.
2yo: OK.
[We both walk upstairs. I see my wife.]
Me: He was looking for something on the couch, and he said he was looking for a cat. Do you know what he is talking about?
[My wife gives a puzzled look, followed by dawning realization and laughter.]
My wife: Oh, he was looking for his sunglasses. He was wearing them earlier, and I was calling him a "cool cat."
[My wife retrieves the sunglasses, and gives them to the two-year-old. He starts proudly showing them off to us and to his brothers.]
2yo: Cool cat! Cool cat! Cool cat!
🙂

*laughs* These beat my daughter's funny lines– to be fair, she only has about half a dozen words– but in light of the Dynamite Lament, I had to share this: a game to blow stuff up.

I've got one- said in total honesty without a hint of malice:
7yo to 5 yo "You are a monster."
5 yo "What proof do you have?"
7yo "Well, your breath for one thing."
$384,000 please…
