Things you do not want to hear from your preschooler:
But I don’t need to clean up, we can just step right over it!
I’m just putting my tongue on all of the furniture. But I’m not licking, so it’s OK.
I’ve been thinking about putting a blanket on this chair and then climbing up on it.
I put the stool on the chair so I can climb higher! (Yikes!)
I wasn’t hurting the baby… I was just trying to bounce her.
Come here kitty! I just want to love you!
You don’t have a baby in there any more but your tummy’s still HUGE! (Yeah, thanks kiddo.)
Daddy! I went poop! It came right out of my poop hole! (Or any variation on this, when exclaimed VERY loudly across a restaurant).
I peed on the floor, but it’s OK because I already cleaned it up… with your laundry.
Mom look! The Cat is sharing my breakfast!
I have a great idea! You nurse the baby and I will go in your room and play with the stuff I’m not supposed to touch. And then when you try and lay her down I will ThunkThunkThunk down the stairs. (Well at least she’s honest.)
And yes, the above are all actual quotes from my wonderful three year old, Rainbow.

Seriously, G-Girl and my Belly Boo must be cut from the same cloth… I hear the same things out of her mouth. Here's a few more:[After picking up all the toys at my parent's house]:Belly: Mama, I cleaned up!ME: Thank you. Could you please clean up your toys at our house?Belly: No, at Lola and Lolo's house only.[Pointing at her chest] These are my mountains. They are going to be BIG.I pushed Alex, but it's ok, I kissed him.I want a 'tail' like Eron and Alex.Big girls pee in the potty. Babies wear a diaper. I'm a big girl that wears a diaper. [i.e. ya, potty training is going THAT well LOL!]
LOL! This post, and RC's comment reminded me of something that happened just over 10 years ago.I had a couple of girlfriends over to watch a movie, and my father and his girlfriend stopped by. We were just hanging out in the living room chit chatting when my daughter (that was 2 at the time) came out of bed and walked into the living room, with just a little nightie on. she was wearing her big girl underwear as she was already potty trained. Someone commented on her underwear. She responded by telling them that she is a big girl now. Now she wears big girl underwear. So my dad tells her that he is proud of her, and carries on about how great it is that she doesn't have to wear diapers anymore. She tells him that she is a big girl now, and now she wears big girl diapers, as she yanks down her panties and shows me and the living room full of guests the maxi pad in her panties!
Thank you both for the laugh!@RC Re:Potty training. I think G-Girl has said that pretty much word for word. She is 3years 2months and potty training has been a real struggle. Just yesterday was her first "two dry days in a row".
What a great list! We have twin preschoolers, so they always give us a steady supply for Silly Monkey Stories every week.Here's one that my husband will not let me post . . . . Our 3-1/2 year old son told my parents one day, "I have a small pee pee, but Baba (that's what he calls Daddy) has a big huge pee pee!" I nearly died laughing. When I told my husband, he was mortified. LOL!!
