What do you think is the funniest thing your grandchild has ever said?
Here's another Question of the Week. Special thanks to Grandparents.com member NanaNae for suggesting it.
What do you think is the funniest thing your grandchild has ever said?
Let's hear from you! Post your reply below. You can make it long or short and there are no wrong answers!
In my opinion, the funniest thing my granddaughter (age 2)has ever said was yesterday when she was fighting the idea of taking a nap. Finally, she admitted, "I'm tired."
"So lie down and take your nap," I responded.
"I dont wanna nap!" she complained.
"Then you'll keep being tired," I answered.
She thought about that for about a second and then said, "I wanna be tired!" LOL! Fredigram
When my grandson was starting to talk, he called both my husband and I "Gramma". This didn't sit well with the old man who was determined to get the boy to address him as "Grandpa". So around the room we went, asking who each person was and waiting for his reply. "Who's this?" I'd say. "Momma" he answered. So far so good. "Who's this?" I asked..."Daddy".."Okay, now who am I?" He said "gramma". Now I pointed at grampa and said "Who's that?" He said "Gramma". Exasperated, I said "light bulb out", and started all over again. This time when I pointed at Grampa and said "Who's this" his reply was "Light bulb out!!" I needed to change my drawers after that one.
One of my grand-daughters is white, and was raised in a very Anglo neighborhood.
Her first day of first grade, she came home very excited to tell my daughter and me all about her new teacher. She said "He's very nice, and he's very handsome! I love him! And Mom Mom Maggie, you know what else? He's chocolate!"
I myself was raised in a wonderful city proudly known as "Chocolate City" so this brought me great pleasure.
We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, definite snow country and winters are long. The first week of March was unusually warm, everything was starting to melt. When I picked up my 6yr. old Granddaughter from school and we started walking accross the parking lot to the car, she stopped,turned to me,took a really deep big breathe through her nose, a big smile came on her face and she said, excitedly "Nana I smell summer!"
My 8 year old granddaughter and I were at the kitchen table during one of our "Art" sessions. She needed to use a pair of scissors and the only one's I had on hand were an heirloom, handed down 4 generations. They are a beautiful pair of filigree handled scissors. I handed them to her and asked that she take good care of them, because they meant a lot to me. After a few minutes, She asked me "Are they Old?" I got kind of excited that she seemed interested in their history, so I went into this big schpeel, explaining family history, that they belonged to my mother's, mother's mother and blah, blah, blah. When I was done, she said "well that explains it" and I said "explains what?" "Why they don't work" she said.
My father-in-law walked with a cane. One day, I told my granddaughter that great grandmom was coming to visit. She very politely asked "Is that guy with the stick coming too?". I told her that was great grandpop, and which she said "I'll just call him grandmom-man. That is what she called him until the day he died.
On one of our recent trips to see our granddaughters, my oldest grand (12) asked if I would make them a beef biscuit again. I was stumped! My daughter stared at her for a minute and I could see the wheels turning in her head. Finally, she asked, "Do you mean a beef BRISKET?" Yup. LOL.
The cutest thing my granddaughters ever "thought" was that Papa and I lived at the airport. Every time we visited, that's where they would pick us up, so they naturally believed that's where we lived. LOL.
My Grandson, Nathan, at 5 years old was walking up the steps at his home when he lost his footing and smacked his forehead onto the step in front of him (hard enough that if would have made me cry). He came up without crying and with a "stunned" look. I asked him, "Nathan, did the step knock some sense into you or out of you"; to which he replied, "Grandma, Grandma, I think it knocked sense out of me".
I still laugh to this day and he is now 9 years old.
When my grandaughter was three I needed to cimb her hair after a bath-she HATED this process,oh the snarls and it would hurt...so I said she can comb Nana's hair first, I pretended to whine a bit and say owwee it hurts your pulling out my hair.."be still honey" she said, "I am only pulling out the grey ones Nana"...I still laugh about this!
The funniest thing I ever heard was when our grandson (3yrs) had the flu and needed a pail beside his bed. He ask his Mom for the pail and dropped his head over the pail, opening his mouth and couching but nothing came out. He looked up and said, "It's not working."
My granson Jaiden was watching a commercial with those new bathtubs for people with disabilities.The ones where you can sit down.He watched the woman get in the tub.He started laughing.I said what is so funny about that.He replied shes has her clothes still on.
My 4 yr old granddaughter's other grandmother is 5' and tiny, whereas I am quite tall and sufficiently overweight. She refers to her other grandmother as her "little grandma" and when I asked her what she refers to me as, I expected the obvious and was lovingly surprised when said that she calls me her "funny grandma". Ah - if we all were able to see though the eyes of a precious child....
When my grandson was VERY crankie and starting to fall asleep while playing, I told him the words he hates to hear, "you need to take a nap now, I saw you starting to fall asleep" to which he whinned back, "BUT I WASN'T TIRED WHEN I WAS SLEEPING!" lol
