So, what was washing the water all about? She wanted me to dump out the water and make it even colder. With four kids, and also the fact that I am a former nanny, I have heard plenty of interesting things from toddlers.
Another that sticks to me is the time my then 4 year old son was sitting on a playground swing. At the time, his fear of the swing moving with him in it was still present. He knows my profession and knew I had the laptop at the park. I go to push him and he says "Don't push me, Ma! You really need to write that article!"
Then, there's the first time my oldest daughter (then a year and a half) met a horse. It was the Juneteenth parade in Denver and the policemen were there with their Clydesdales. They were welcoming petting. So, toddler in arms, I pet one horse's beautiful mane. I tried to get her to do the same. She looked at me crazy, looked the horse up and down, and looked back at me exclaiming "Uh, uh Mommy! That's a BIG doggie!"

I always love reading things like this.
LOL! Too funny.

Oops meant still
Good cute. "Wash my water" srill chuckling about that one.
Love it! I don't have kids, but lots of little cousins...I've heard some funny ones in my life!
Too funny! One of my favorites was when my niece told me the sun was made of lava.
You made me laugh early in the morning:):)) Kids saying funny stuff, mine are the same way:)
This made me laugh! I'm sure your children must be so entertaining. I don't have any children of my own, but I have it on good authority from my parents that my middle brother asked my parents to send me back to where I came from when I was born. He was over two years old at the time I was born, and I can actually imagine him saying something like that!
