Let us have a few of your reminiscences you have heard from your children/grandchildren. Often they can bring you down to earth with a bump!
My grandson, aged 5, hated going to bed and found many reasons to delay the process. Once I got quite cross and told him to stop getting out of bed and stop trying to play on his tablet and go to sleep.
He informed me that I could not control him, he was not a robot and I did not have a remote control.

My grandson Cam was in the back seat of the truck when we were returning from a trip. Darius Ruckers song Wagon Wheel came on. Cam sang it word for word, he was 8. After the song was over, I asked, Cam who was singing that song? He responded with a huff, I was Papa Joe!

This is from a year ago when my son, Connor, first really started learning of religion.
My wife, Liz, told Connor to eat his dinner. He told her that she tells him what to do too much and “you know who can tell you what to do? …Jesus. He lives in your heart!”
Liz followed this with an absolute classic of a line, “I’ve known Jesus longer than you and he wants you to eat your hot dog.”
Connor: “Jesus wants me to do anything I want.”
Me: “I don’t remember it like that.”
Liz: “Maybe we shouldn’t talk about Jesus until we know him more.”

I’m not sure if anyone would find this too funny but OMG, I can’t believe my grandson did this, so he was learning how to spell and one of the boys told him how to spell penis… so he started writing the word penis on EVERYTHING, So I sat him down and explained to him that writing that word on stuff isn’t funny and he had to stop doing it, so he said ok Nanny I wont do it anymore, then a few days later I wrote my bank and { thank god I knew the lady well and have dealt with her for years } and she emails me and tells me when she when she received my email it came in from: penis lmao, I let my grandson use my ipad and he changed my user name to penis… thank god he grew out of that stage , darn kids haha

My other Grandson had a really bad habit of picking his nose and eating it, I would get upset and tell him to stop doing that because it was gross and no one wanted to see him doing it… I told him to get up off his butt and go get a piece of Kleenex, paper towel… toilet paper or something to wipe his finger off with. One night him and my husband decided to watch and movie while I was cleaning house, I looked over at my grandson who was holing up his pointing finger with a bogie on it…I said hey! what do you plan on doing with that, you are not eating it ,He said but Nanny I am watching a movie with my Puppy { that’s what he calls my husband } and I don’t want to get up to get kleenex and miss my movie , then he looked at his finger and looked me then looked back at his finger tryin to figure out a way he wouldn’t have to get up…And I’m not moving, I’m starring at him to see what he was going to do, then as he’s holding up his pointing finger with this this huge bogie on it, he slides over close to my husband and says :: Puppy can you put this in your pocket? lol

At a family gathering, my Aunt was very pregnant. My 4 year old nephew kept looking at and touching her belly. She said, there’s a baby in there. His eyes lit up and he said - can you please take it out, so that I can see it

When he was 4 I had this conversation with my son, Connor.
Connor: “I’m gonna steal all your money.”
Me: “What!?! Why?”
Connor: “Yeah, I’m gonna use it all to buy just one toy.”
Me: “Just one? What toy would you buy with all my money?”
Connor: “A weapon…”
Me: “Why a weapon?!?!?!”
Connor: “For all those that dare cross me…”
Then he karate chopped the couch and ran off. I guess what I’m saying is I might be raising a lunatic but he’s pretty cute.
