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.
