Every other week for a spell, Quotes of the Week will be curated by a special guest. This week there's a theme! Kids say the most f’d up things, brought to you by:
Jodi, a work-from-home mama of darling girls Firecracker and Princess, the wife of one very tall darling, and the Auntie Jo Jo of 12 more darlings. 
~and~
Stephen Mintz, who has decided not to pass his mental health genes along to actual birth children, wisely so. Instead he Mannys his best-good friend's 4 kids.

Jodi: "If you girls don't stop fighting and start sharing, I am going to throw your my little fucking ponies out the window."
Girls: "Okay."

[3 hours later...]
Firecracker: "Moooooommmmy. Have you seen my my little funkin' pony?"

Princess: *burp* "Excuse me, I farted in my mouth."
Jodi: "You mean you burped?"
Princess: "No, I farted. It means I am hungry."

Firecracker: "Mama, why don't we celebrate Christmas?"
Jodi: "We celebrate Chanukah. You know, the festival of lights."
Firecracker: "And King Antiochos."
Me: "Yes and Judas and the Macabees."
Jewish Husband: "Judas?!"
Me: "What?"
Jewish Husband: "!"

Firecracker: "Mama, can you bring me some graham crappers?"

Jodi: "You mean graham crackers?"
Firecracker: "No, I said CRAPPPERS!"
Jodi: "!"
Firecracker: "They are yummy!"

Jodi: "Girls, we have to put conditioner in your hair, it will help get the knots out."

Firecracker: "You mean nuts? Squirrels like nuts."
Princess: "Noooo. She means nuts, like....'you TWO are driving me nuts!'"

Princess: "Mama, I want to be a daddy when I grow up."
Jodi: "Why? What do daddy's do?"
Princess: "They fix things and go to work."
Jodi: "Okay....what do mommy's do?"
Princess: "They go on the 'puter and they hang curtains."
Me: "Ouch."

Firecracker: "Mama? Can I get in bed with you?"

Jodi: "Uggh.....I guess!!!"
Fireracker: "Yuck! I need to go throw up, you smell yucky."

Princess: "Mama, your belly is soft and it wiggles."

Jodi: "Just call me Santa!"

Jodi: "So I was going to book your flight on the red eye? Or do you want to fly out first thing in the morning? Your call."

Sister: "Ummm....."
Jodi: "What?"
Sister: "Is the runway icy in January? I mean will the plane be safe to land after a red eye flight? You know how paranoid I am."
Jodi: "True, that is dangerous. But terrorists generally strike in the am on the first morning flight."
Sister: "!"
Jodi: "How about we just stick to the most economical?"

3yo girl: "Stephy? You have baby in your belly?"

Stephen: "No, I’m just fat."
3yo girl: "So you can feed the baby with your boobies?"

Stephen (teaching about possums): "Possums are night hunters with sharp teeth."

8yo girl: "So this possum might have killed our chickens?"
Me: "No, possums are mostly scavengers – they just see something dead or around anywhere and they say, 'Oooh, food, I’ll eat anything!'"
8yo: "Oh, like you!"

As the 8yo girl and I are watching Toy Story 3, Woody needs to get downstairs and jumps on the dog, who is now old, and who promptly clumps down on his side and starts to sleep:

8yo: "Stephy, look, it’s you!"

4yo boy as Stephen explained why his gramma died:

Stephen: "She was old and got sick and died. Old people die sometimes if they get really sick."
4yo: "But you’re old and you’re not dead."
Me: "!"

And now the reason why we put up with and adore little children:


As the 2yo stood on a tiny stool in the kitchen, eating her pomegranate seeds, her bowl emptied. She held her bowl up expectantly to me, and after I hesitated a bit, produced more seeds for her from behind my back.

As she continued eating: "You a good person, Teffy. You no never mean to me. You always nice to me. You a good person."
Me: ":-D"
