Years ago when my kids were young, our dog had a habit of making loud noises while going to the bathroom in our family room. One afternoon, when I thought our kids were taking naps, my husband and I decided to engage in "other" activities on the famly room sofabed.  Unfortunately I guess we weren't as quiet as we thought because I suddenly heard our daughter running down the hall to her sister's room. I jumped up and got to her room just in time to hear her explain " Jessica you'll never believe this...Mommy and Daddy are pooping in the dining room"  (You never know how kids interpret sounds they hear coming from behind closed doors)

While brushing my teeth in the morning my son opened all the bathroom drawers asking "Do you have a squirt gun?"  I told him that "Mommy doesn't keep any loaded squirt guns around."  He smiled opening the last draw and said "Yes you do" as he squirted me with a perfume bottle until I thought I'd choke (I guess I was wrong).

While sitting around the dinner table, a centerpiece of wildflowers and weeds poked out crazily from the vase. Picked during her walk outside, our daughter said sweetly "Mom the flowers look just like you."  My wife was so touched by the sweet remark until our daughter continued "because you're having a bad hair day"

Being single is better than being married with kids for the simple reason that you don't have to change diapers.  Of course if I was married with kids...I'd figure something out.  I'd probably just call my Mom to come over for some coffee and diaper changing.

While touring Dinasour National Monument after driving from Florida to Utah, my son put his hands on his hips and scolded me "It took you so long to get here, all the dinasours died."

I was talking to my daughter about buying a new house so we could all have bigger rooms.  She replied "Great now you and Mom will finally have enough room to get your own beds than you won't have to share anymore.

Daughter: Dad if we go to Florida we take the highway right?

Dad: Yes

Daughter: We're only going a few miles so are we taking the low way?

While my wife ran into the market we waited in the car with my newborn and young daughter.  The baby started to cry, so I explained to my daughter that "The baby is hungry and wants the Boob."  My daugther replied "Yeah, the only problem is the boobs not here, she's in the grocery store."

You know its love when you get one of those desserts that burts out in flames...I think people in love like to order those because it's just like how their hearts are...on fire.

Eating at a FAMILY RESTAURANT, my nephew GREW RESTLESS and started climbing and running around.  His grandmother being very into proper decorum told him "You are DRIVING ME UP A WALL."  To which he replied "Well Grandma, WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN"

Feeling NAUSEOUS, I went upstairs and laid down in my bed.  My daughter came up and STARTED RUBBING MY BELLY and being OVERWEIGHT there was a lot to rub.  With complete seriousness she said "Mommy WHICH BELLY HURTS THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM ONE?  Oh it doesn't matter i can RUB THEM BOTH.
