Son, when he was about 2: "Don't want to wear a sweater."
Me: "Nick, you look nice. You want to look nice for church, don't you?"
Son *big sigh, then a disgusted voice*: "I look like a d**k."

No idea where he heard that, but I almost went off the road trying not to laugh. It's my brother's favorite 'kid story' ever (so I have my suspicions where Nick heard that word :glare:)

What's wrong with him looking like a duck? ;)

And now for a funny story:
During the funeral preparation, I felt the only way I could be useful was to keep the kids out of the way, out of the house. I took them to a movie, I took them shopping. My 6 year old niece is a nut. She’s the family comedian and it was quite a blessing to have her with me.
So I took the girls to Charming Charlies to get headbands, bows, purses, etc for the funeral. You know, a girl needs accessories, black is so boring without a little sparkle and bling.
My niece found a “lovely sparkly water bottle” (it was a flask with turquoise rhinestones). She needed it she said. What if I need a drink of water at the funeral, Aunt Renee? God love her. Somehow I managed to distract her with some other bling and sparkles. But I so wanted to get it for her. It would have been great to see her pull a flask out of her purse and take a drink during the funeral – wouldn’t that have been great?
There’s lots more funny things she did during the funeral. She put a pendant of a dog in his casket because he loved his dogs. She stood at the casket during the wake and gave everyone a hug and told them she had the best hugs to make them happy again. She’s a gift to us for sure.

This line moved me to tears. :a17: What a little darling!

Yesterday Jillian was using one of the tools that came with the nutcracker, it's a little pick. She referred to it as a "nut meat pecker" and my wife and I started laughing until our faces turned red!

Son yesterday: "Mom, I just can't go back to school tomorrow. My brain is full--I don't have room for anything else."

Kelly Bundy had that problem. :D

Funerals and kids....mine were always the entertainment.

At my dad's funeral, I was standing graveside right at the front. I was holding my 3 year old son's hand. Holding his other hand was my niece who was close to thirty.

The priest was just finishing his prayers and my son said "That's one biiiiiig toy box."

My niece and I laughed so hard, we ended up holding each other up. I saw the glare I was getting from the priest and that just made me laugh even harder.
