Kids Say the Darndest Things

[crokett]

So I was giving the littlest her bottle this morning and my 2yr old says 'Daddy, someday can I go over the mountain with the bear?"

Me: Sure honey.
Her after a few seconds thought: I think it would be fun if I went over the mountain on my belly
Me: That would be fun. Can I come?
Her: No Daddy, you're too big.


I still have no idea where that came from. I called her mom and her mom doesn't either.

"The bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain
to see what he could see"

Possibly from this kid's song?

Thom beat me to it - but I have more lyrics!





The Bear Went Over the Mountain

(tune: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow)
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see

To see what he could see,
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!

The bear went over the river
The bear went over the river
The bear went over the river
To see what he could see.

But all that he could see
All that he could see was

The other side of the river
was the other side of the river
was the other side of the river
was all that he could see


The bear put on my glasses
The bear put on my glasses
The bear put on my glasses
To see what he could see.


But all that he could see
All that he could see
Was that a bear shouldn't wear glasses
A bear shouldn't wear glasses
A bear shouldn't wear glasses
was all that he could see.

"The bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain
to see what he could see"

ok... she musta heard that song at preschool. Still doesn't answer why it would be fun on her belly or why I'm too big.

Dunno why it'd be fun on her belly, but maybe she meant that your belly was too big ....... you have been putting on weight ya know

I had a different take on this:

Shameless Thread Hijack

The belly thing reminded me of this:

When #2 Son was three, we were camping WAY back in the hills. He choked on a pretzel (this was before wall-to-wall cell phone coverage) and I had to Heimlich him. He was OK, but six months later I'm half asleep in the Lazy Boy when he comes up and starts pushing on my belly. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm getting the pretzel out."

Thanks, Dr. Heimlich!

My four year old little girl has been helping me pretty consistently for four months now building and putting together my woodshop in the garage. I was postioning some hanging door hardware on the second workbench for the sliding doors when one clamp slipped and the 6 foot long metal bracket fell on my knuckles.

My response was a loud s**t and she replied "Daddy that's a naughty word, you need to call Bob the Builder ...he knows what he's doing !!!"

Only through the mouth of babes .....

Yeah kids do say what is on their mind. A few years ago I had my nephew over here and I think he was around 3 or so. I had to laugh and tell my brother about it the first time he came to pick him up. Now a little back ground we have a black lab named ASH. Well he was playing with her and then as he was sitting at the table eating his lunch he looks at her and says: "She's such a Pain In the ASH".

When I heard him I started laughing. Now I am thinking that her name might change when Thomas gets older, ASH might be to difficult for him.

My four-year old son is just like me: horribly competitive. We've found we can get him to do nearly anything if we turn it into a race. Last week he and I went to the library while my wife was out running some errands.

After checking out his books, he told the librarian "I have to go home now, otherwise mom will beat me."

After her eyes got as big as saucers, I informed the librarian that he meant "beat him home."
