A list of lists

I love participating in Rebecca's blog projects. They're always fun, usually thought provoking, or at least quirky enough to be interesting. (Potato Fest comes to mind. . .)
This month she's collecting a list of lists:
January will be a celebration of all things listed. I'll be posting lists of this and that, some new, some old, and you're invited to participate along with me. If you make a list of any kind, send me the link in an email or comment and I'll include a link to your list in an upcoming post.
I'd like to collect and compile a list of funny kid-sayings. These can be quips from your own kids, your grandkids, maybe even yourself when you were a kid.
I'm going to call my list, "Kids say the funniest things." Won't you tell us a funny kid-saying from your family? Leave a note in the comments, or if you decide to write an entire post about it (because, of course, most funny sayings tell a funny story or at least need a bit of explanation) leave a link in the comments and I'll be sure to post it up here so that Rebecca can find it.
You can be the first to add yours.

Oh, I would have a ton of these, but of course they're in Finnish! And translating kiddy-talk, well... in most cases the point is lost in translation :(
I guess you've got a point, Eija!
I am still trying to decide which funny saying to post from each of my boys. . .
Great idea, Kim!
Here's one of my recent favorites from a Sunday school kid:
"Miss Shanna, do you know who my favorite teacher is?"
"Who?"
He pauses, smiles slyly, and says: "You're ONE of them!"
A schmoozer at six. How cute is that?
I've probably blogged this one before, but oldest daughter at two told her grandpa that his homegrown garden lettuce tasted like "ladybug pee."
When oldest son was three, he woke up on Easter morning, saw the Easter baskets and said, "Oh look! There are presents for the Easter Bunny!"
Once, when my youngst was about 4 years old, he told us that Jesus washes our sins away.....with a dishtowel.
Well, my 3 year old has been lots of fodder for the baby book these past few weeks.
Case in point - we were decorating for Christmas a few days before Christmas. The boys were coloring a manger scene I had printed out for them, and they were asking sweet questions about Jesus and how he was a baby. Somehow, dear little Timex (the 3yo) got it into his mind that there were 2 babies in my belly, instead of just one. "Mommy, do you have a baby Jesus in there, too?!?!" It took quite some explanation to help him understand that Jesus was a baby a long time ago, but we finally got that through.
Hi Kim, Did you know that the Bible mentions "sandwiches on the beach"? In November 2006, during sunday school I read the following verse to the fifth and sixth graders... "Indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies." Genesis 22:17 NAS Imagine my wonder as they all blankly stared at me and asked what I meant by "sandwiches on the beach"!! The class and I are still laughing about this one...
Hi Amy!
What a cute story! Isn't it funny how two and three year olds assimilate information? He made some very good connections, overall, but he just hasn't lived long enough to have it all organized! So sweet!
AnnMarie!
What a hoot! I think you should send that one in to Reader's Digest! I'm going to go make a mark in my Bible to remind me of that one! I'd love to have seen their faces--and yours!
Oh, and AnnMarie; did you know that that little guy on the big wheel is John? Wasn't he a cutie?
Here are the Chandler kids quotables.
