Kids Say The Darndest Things 2008

Here is this year’s poster. For you new readers check out last year’s installment of "Kids Say The Darndest Things" for an explanation. Most of the quotes are from Lila. (If they don't have a name they're from her). There are a few good ones from Abby & Zack, but they're just coming into their element. We are anticipating some real gems from them two in 2009.

To read the quotes you can zoom in and out on the image below. Just click the image (not the little box in the corner) with your mouse or roll your scroll wheel, or you can use the buttons at the bottom.

So what are your favorites? Let us know in the comments.

Thanks, Lila!! :)

p.s. I thought I'd say which ones are my favorites, though it's hard to choose!

"if you want to do something and your breath is out, you just have to catch it first"

"what animals do french fries come out of?"

Tiff's fav's:

L: If I just lick myself then I will be clean(referring to taking a bath)

L: My daddy said I can have a baby when I am a teenager

A: He has peanut butter in his diaper.

I have a couple of others but can't go back to remind myself. I love this idea and wanted to steal it last year and then forgot about it. i will start tomorrow. It makes me sad cause I know there is so much funny stuff I have missed this year with Carson learning how to talk better. Oh well, better late than never. Lila really is the funniest girl. love your babies!

The one about Lila teaching Zac how to ask for a glass of milk. And Daddy giving the go ahead to have a teenage pregnancy.

Seriously. I love these.

(but I think our family is backwards, sometimes WHOOP!!, our mean lights turn on inside around Christmas, sometimes Mommy can get a little nuts. ;)

Lila is so creative. There were a lot of hers that made me laugh. I too wish I would have done this. I remember thinking the same thing last year like Tiffany. It is sad how much we forget if we don't right it down.

I like when Lila said she's from cleanville and Zach is from cryalotville or something like that.

I also like the one about feeling the spirit while she cleaned the toilet.

Emily - throw us a line here! We need an update STAT.

Eliza said...

Oh, man! Em, you have got some serious treasures here! GEMS, I tell you!

Some of my favorites, (it is hard to choose!) were:
Lila's comment about her best friend who's name she doesn't know but she is "working on it"
Also loved Lila admonishing Zack to try saying please - so funny!
And I loved Lila saying "heck not" when you asked her to change Abby's diaper.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It makes the world a better place.
