Although my children are teenagers now the things that came out of their mouths at toodlerhood were sometimes funny, sometimes embarrassing and always entertaining. The following are the top five comments that will never leave my memory.

1. When my 2 yr old daughter learned to unbuckle her car seat I often had to pull over to tie her back in, I said "you need to keep this on or you could get hurt monkey". She says" I not a monkey!" I said "your gonna make mommy late for work", she asks" why do you have to go to work mommy?" I explain that all grown ups go to work and a mommy has lots of jobs. She calmly looks at me and states dead pan "Yep a womans gotta do what a womans gotta do." Classic.

2. The above childs twin brother was the one who always said the wrong thing at the wrong time, he was the one who I left at home with dad. While at the grocery store waiting in line to check out ,a women who was quite obese was standing behind me, my son is very curious, hes only two and is looking at her very strangely. He whispers, and I might add a two year old can not whisper, "Why does that lady have a fat tummy?" I say "son that is mean don't say things like that", he ignores me and leans sideways and yells "hey lady how come you got a big belly?". I was mortified!

3. My daughter at five walks into the bathroom where her daddy is getting out of the shower, he puts her in the hallway and locks the door and she is screaming at the top of her lungs. I'm thinking she just wants her daddy but no, when asked what is wrong she states "there is something wrong with daddy!" I said" no he's fine sweetie he'll be out in a second." She said "is Bubba in trouble?" I say no why? She said someone wrote all over daddys back! I know Bubba did it!" My husband had just got a new tattoo.

4. My neighbor got a new puppy when my oldest son was about 1 and a half, and brought it over to show him. He was so excited and they ran around the yard for over an hour. He walks up to my friend and asks what the doggys name is she tells him it's Butch, he couldn't pronounce Butch so we all know what was screamed at the top of his lungs for the next 30 minutes.

5. Now my daughter is 12 and allot smarter than I ever dreamed of. I made a statement when I was not aware anyone was observing about my weight. She walks in and says "Mom you're not fat, it's all in your head. I think you're pretty and didn't you tell me that if anyone ever told me I wasn't to tell them the wake up? You're crazy, now comb your hair I'm gonna be late for school." I taught her well.
