What is the funniest random thing your child has done to surprise you?

Asked by WillWorkForChocolate (23163points) December 10th, 2010

My little four year old just spoke to me in an almost perfect British accent. I have no idea what prompted her to do so, nor how she managed to nail it so well! Surprised the heck out of me and I’m sitting here giggling my head off as she continues to speak with the accent and grin at me!

What random things have your kids done that really surprised or shocked you?

When my youngest daughter was four or five, my son (who wasabout ten or eleven) was working my nerves. I don’t remember what he finally did, but I sighed and stated to get up to deal with it and she actually flaped her hand at me to sit back down and said; “I got it, mom.” I don’t know what she thought she was going to do, but she has always had an attitude that she was in charge of him.

I came home from work a few weeks back and found my youngest sitting at the kitchen table dressed up in my fleece pants, sweatshirt wearing my readers tapping away at my laptop and said “give me a minute dad…I’m busy” and my oldest was dress in my sweats, wearing another pair of readers pretending to be asleep on on recliner with the newspaper and a tipped over coffee cup in his lap!! I laughed for 10 minutes straight! XD They nailed me good! I wonder if they were trying to tell me something?

The first time my son turned around to me and said “Be patient Mummy!”

My son told me yesterday he decorated a paper gingerbread man in his kindergarten class. He said gave the gingerbread man sparkly yellow armpit hair. No one else in the class made a gingerbread man with armpit hair. He was rather proud of himself!

One year on April Fool’s day, my daughter (who was about 7 years old) hid a carrot under my pillow as an April Fool’s joke. I found it when I went to bed and was like, “WTF?” The next year she put a bunch of acorns in our bed. She didn’t quite grasp the concept of April’s Fools.

The other day, my daughter stayed home from school sick. When she was going to bed that night, I did the nagging Mom thing she hates and reminded her not to stay up late reading so she could get a good night’s sleep and feel better. Instead of rolling her eyes and saying, “I know Mom!” she grinned and said, “OK. Thanks for caring about me!” That was probably the most shocking thing. ;)

My 2 year old was hiding in the corner the other day, after a couple mins she came over to me and proudly announced” Mommy! All done poop!” Surely enough…..

My 16 year old son was about 8 years old at the time of this exchange. My 18 year old was 10. We were sitting at the dining room table eating biscuits and gravy.

Oldest Boy: This is good. Where did the gravy come from?

Me: Your Mom made it.

Youngest Boy: No she didn’t.

Me: Well, who made it then?

Youngest Boy: The Gravy Boy.

Me: The Gravy Boy?

Youngest Boy: Yep.

Me: How do you get gravy from the Gravy Boy?

Youngest Boy: You kick him in the crotch!

this is still brought up whenever we have biscuits and gravy

@Blondesjon You still bring this up? Does the 16yo mind?! I would!! That would be so embarrassing! >.<

@ChocolateReigns If I were to holler, “How do you get gravy from the Gravy Boy?”, right now, I would receive a response of, “You kick him in the crotch!”, from whomever happened to hear me yell it.

When my grandson wants to do something he’s not supposed to do, he spreads his arms out wide and says “Go away, there’s nothing for you here.” Usually when he is sneaking around with his tools, and unscrewing things.
