My six year old in the bathroom with her little brother, age five:
Me – “Amelia, Jonas…Time for bed!”
Amelia – “I’m wiping my B.U.T.T.”
Jonas – “Your B.U.T.T.?”
Amelia – “Yes, Jonas. If you want to say, but if you have to clean, it is B.U.T. But, if you want to say, my big fat butt, it is B.U.T.T.”
Jonas – “oooOOOoooh”
Me – “Uhhh, guys? It’s time for bed.”
Ahhh, the joys of motherhood. I wonder if I’ll ever have occasion to fit that into one of my wips…
What outrageous things have you heard kids say? If you’re a writer, have you ever used something they’ve said or done in one or your works? Please, share!

LOL. That’s funny. I always say I’m going to use my kids’ “words of wisdom” in my writing but I never do.
The latest at my house? My 8-year-old had a slumber party. Two other girls. Who knew three girls could cause so much havoc! At 7:20 in the morning I hear my son tell the three girls, “No, you can’t put the hamster in the piggy bank. That would be cruel.”

Today, my six year old daughter told me when I set her dinner in front of her, “I’m parched.” I replied that I would bring her a drink.” “But Mooooom, I’m parched.” “Ok,” I said, “I’ll get it!” “I’m hungry.”
“Child,” said I, “parched is thirsty.” (she) “Oh.”
My ‘wise’ eight year old son argues with me when I help him with homework. I help him spelling while writing a letter and he says, looking at the draft of the letter, “It’s right there! I don’t need your help.!”
sheesh.
