Congrats all everyone on their amazing creations!

The funniest thing I have heard from a child was when visiting my now husband’s cousins shortly after we were engaged. His youngest cousin thought that I could be his girlfriend, but when I explained that I was going to marry his older cousin, he thought about it and said: If I give you a paper clip ring with an even bigger stone, would you marry me?

He’s full of these kinds of thoughts… adorable.

Congrats to the Top 5! I can’t wait to see the next round of inspiration!

My kids have certainly said their share of funny things when they were younger {heck, they still do!}. I remember when my son was maybe 5 or so, we were talking in the car…I mentioned something about being Japanese…he was really quiet and then happily said, “I’m Japanese?!”. LOL…that still cracks me up…

My nephew once said to me, “You’re not a grown up, you’re a big kid!” I was thirty at the time.

Congrats to the winners! The funniest thing a kid said to me was my nephew when he was about 4. He was always getting into mischief and having to go to “time out.” Well, his older brother got hit with a rock and was bleeding. The little guy comes along from playing elsewhere and asks “Did I do it?” We all laughed. He was so used to being in trouble he figured he did it!! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face on this rainy day!!

My 4 year-old loves to play his guitar and make up silly songs. One day, when I was in the shower, he was playing and singing in front of our full-length mirror in the bathroom. His song went like this ” Leftovers, Leftovers, I really, really, really like leftovers.” I almost fell out the glass shower door laughing! I guess I don’t cook as much as I thought…

(sitting at the dinner table) My son , Jack, asks me, “Mom, is anything possible?” I replied, “Yes, Jack, anything is possible if you try hard enough. Why?” Jack answers, “Johnny says it’s impossible to lick your elbow.” Totally drawing a blank for a second I said (and then laughing hysterically), “Well, anything is possible but that!”

I need new stamps! I could really use this set and the quotes on them are SO cute.

My son is always saying the funniest things but the one that comes to mind most often and one that I have scrapbooked is this….

We bought donuts for breakfast one morning and he, of course, picked the biggest donut with the most chocolate on it. After taking a HUGE bite out of it he says….

“This is the most hyper I’ve ever had on my tongue… except for maybe birthdays….oh and Halloween”

I about died laughing. LOL

Congrats to the 5 finalists of Gallery Idol! Can’t wait to see what the next round brings.

Happy Day!

Pointing up at the sky, my son said: “There’s the Milky Way and there’s the Juicy Way!

Congratulations to the Top 5.

One funny thing that I remember is when my nephew saw me after I got a perm (back in the late 80’s). I was babysitting him that night, and I came to the door, and my sister let him answer the door because she knew it was me. His eyes went really big, and he said in a very concerned voice, “What happened to your hair, Tutor?” (Not sure how he came up with Tutor for Carol, but that was also funny!) I didn’t take that comment as a compliment, but I laughed so hard, I was crying!

Congrats to the finalists – ALL of them were so great!! and wow on the prize- all that cool Amy Butler products!! One funny thing I remember my daughter (5 yr old) saying, “I have a pretty good memory in my mind.” I know there were others but I can’t remember them now – LOL!

My daughter recently asked me while looking at a warthog, “Mommy, why do they look like that?” I replied that God made them that way. After a moment of thought, she exclaimed “But WHY would He DO that?”

My favorite comment recently is from my niece, Lilly. We were at the check-out counter at Target and she was getting ready to pick up a little disney doll. So, we told her that she had already gotten enough stuff that day. Lilly then said, “I was just looking at it, I didn’t want it.”

wow… great cards. I love the bubble gum card! As for the funniest thing…

My 5 year old, still call MIAMI.. YOURAMI. Both my kids where born in Miami but we have since relocated to Toronto, Canada. When ever we talk about Miami… my littlest one says. “where there beaches in YOUR A MI.” of course we correct him and say… no “its MI A MI” and he says yes I know “your a mi”. He does not get that it no My a mi…. lol.

Congrats to the top 5. I can’t wait to see what they come up with this week.

When my son was in the 5th grade, they were asked to write a short story … imagine my surprise when his was chosen as the most original and he was asked to read it at assembly … the title of his story was “It Came From My Mother’s Meatloaf”.

Congrats to the winners–such creative designs. I love checking them all out. As for a funny story–this is my 16 y.o. I come home from work at about 7:30–very long day. I did a few things around the house and then went to sit for a bit before doing more housework. He pops in and says “are you cooking tonight?” It was about 8:30 by this time. I replied saying “Haven’t you eaten? Would you wait until I cooked? What if I only cooked tomorrow?” He sheepishly walked away and found himself something to eat. I still shake my head at that.

Fun prize! Had to play along for this one.

One day I was pushing the grocery cart through the store with my then 5 year old daughter in it. We walked past a display of instant potatoes and she pointed to a box of Betty Crocker Au Gratin potatoes.
“Mommy, what kind of potatoes are those?”
“Oh, those are Au Gratin potatoes, I don’t think you have ever had those.”
“Eeeeewe” she exclaimed “…why would you want ‘all rotten’ potatoes!”

Mine was one my daughter wrote down. She was entering a coloring contest and under “child’s name” she wrote, “I don’t have a child.” That one’s saved to be scrapped!

My son is 2 and he says something funny everyday! I guess the latest that shouldn’t be funny (because he is copying me) but is really cute…. he says, “Don’t you tell me”! I guess it isn’t funny in the ha ha sense where others would laugh but he sure looks cute saying it!

Well my favorite cards made it to the final 5 – it was SO hard to choose – congrats, ladies!
And that kids’ quotes stamp set – completely cute!

For the giveaway response…My kids have said many funny things to me, but the one that comes to mind everytime we go out to eat: As we were finishing up a quick meal at a Wendy’s one night, my then-6yo said to me, “It was clean before we got here!”

Thanks for the chance to win – can’t wait to see more card creations from the top 5.

My son is only 2.5 and is still working on all those BIG words! His uncles stay with us during the summer, and he always asks me where “BaWa” (travis) and “Boy” (Justin) went! He can say their names, but this is how he calls them! It is very funny to me when he screams through the house “BOY.”

Congrats to all the fab finalist. Can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeves for the next round!

Congrats to all. I loved each and every card.
My son told me this joke the other day and I about busted up!
If April showers bring May flowers…what do May flowers bring?????
Pilgrims!! Took me a while to GET it.

I have written on a scrap of paper, “Emily, age 4…When asked why she was hiding in the pantry…I am hiding because I don’t want anyone to know about my beautiful singing voice, just my family”. I wish I had written down more of these little gems!

Love the paper with the radishes and peas!

Congratulations to the top 5 – it has been brilliant to be a part of this fantastic competition, can’t wait to see the cards for the final round

My kids (6 and were discussing where babies come from one day. My daughter said – Mom and Dad look at each other, kiss, get married, mom takes a pill and has a baby. Well she was about 80 percent right!

Congrats to the top 5 – looking forward to seeing what ya’ll come up with next. Funny thing – my daughter and nieces were trying on clothes for a fashion show for their grandma and my daughter asked her grandma where old people shop for clothes and my niece said in the antique store.

Woohoo, congrats to the top five! Awesome cards ladies!!

Congratulations winners, and good luck with the next round!

As far as funny – My son was about 2 and a half – my mom was visiting and she asked him if he wanted to sing a song, and he said that he wanted to sing the Elmo song. My mom said she did not know that song. He said sure you do Grandma. M-I-C, K-E-Y, Elmo-U-S-E!
Well we thought it was funny!
thanks for the fun!

I love the incredible use of buttons! Sparks new ideas! especially the gumball machine.

Funny sayings from kids? I taught for many years and I have 3 adorale granchildren – one of whom does not talk yet – so I hve a hard time choosing just one.

One of my favorites has actually been said to my daughter –
While she was working at IHOP she wore a name tag with IHOP on it and her name. As she approached a table with a small girl at it she heard the mom telling the daughter in no uncertain terms that she would be quiet and not bother the waitress who was working. Heather asked if there was anything she could do and the little girl burst into tears. She wailed “I want to ask you to HOP but my mommy says no!” her mother hushed her as Heather was puzzled. THe little girl said “you do hop don’t you that is what your name tag says! ”

and the second and third is from my 2 yr old very articulate grandson.

He really does have a large vocabulary for his age. the latest has been to argue me down when I was buckling him in his car seat I said – “you are my favorite grandson! No ma I’n not a grandson I am Matthew Duke!” no amount of discussion can convine him that he is my grandson.

and one of his ltest favorite sayings is ” I am a big strong boy. I am ‘fart’ (smart) and I can do lots of things!” hs a little trouble getting the sm sound.

also one of our 3 yr olds at church became tired of playing on the playground and was ready to go in.. When I blocked him at the gate he said ‘I want to go in and see Jesus! It is toohot on his playground! I want to go into Jesus’s house’

Congrats to the finalists – all gorgeous projects! I’m not sure if this qualifies (because my son was 16 and not really a “kid”) but I’ll share it anyway because I think it’s hysterical – on a car trip from NYC to Washington DC, my oldest son was reading a map of the tourist sites in DC. He was amazed at how many embassies were listed … and he started reading them outloud … we all cracked up when he go to “embassy of Nepal” which he read as “Nipple”. Ok – you had to be there. Have a great weekend.
Marta

Oh, and I completely forgot to congratulate all the finalists. Very well done, all of you!!

Congrats Top 5! My 2 year old cracks me up when she is playing with something and before she walks away from it, she looks at me and says “Keep it alone” meaning leave it alone. I’m not allowed to touch whatever she is playing with. I’m sure she has heard that one from me.

Congratulations Ladies!!! GL on the last round!! Fabulous entries!

My husband is a rather large man so when I suggested he wear a white tux at our wedding he adamently said no stating he would look like a polar bear. My son & and I were visiting my mother and my son- age 2, spotted our wedding picture and said “there you are when you were a princess and daddy was a bull dog!” My mother and I both thought it was very funny- daddy not so much!

Congrats to the winners! My niece calls a helicopter a heli-cocc-alla…does that count??

I think it was funny when my 4 year old and I were talking and he asked me “Mom, if Jesus washes away our sins – who dries them?”

Congratulations to all the winners. My three kids – almost grown keep me rolling with the funny stuff they say – I couldn’t pick a funniest. I can tell all the young moms to write down all these precious sayings because they grown up way too fast and your memory will fail you way too fast.

When my dd was around two and a half I asked her what she would like to have for lunch. Without hesitation she replied “Shi-door-di-da-dee-dee.”

Me: “What?!”
Ashlynn: “Shi-door-di-da-dee-dee”
Me: “I have no idea what that is. What is it?”
Ashlynn: “It’s shi-door-di-da-dee-dee.”
Me: “O….K…Do we HAVE it in the kitchen?”
Ashlynn: (Shaking her head yes) “uh. huh.”
Me: “Can you SHOW it to mommy?”
Ashlynn: “Uh-huh.”

She takes me to the kitchen and points to the cupboard. I open it and she smiles.

Me: “Do you see it?”
Ashlynn: “Yes, it’s right THERE, mommy!”

So I pick her up and ask her to point to it. I still have no CLUE what she wants! She points to the CHEF BOYARDEE ravioli and exclaims “Shi-door-di-da-dee-dee!”

Love the buttons on the cards they are so cute!

A very entertaining memory for me was.. When my husband and I were first married we moved to a quiet little neighborhood. One night a little boy, probably 7 years old, came to our door with some friends and a pizza box and asked if we wanted a piece. We said no thank you we had already eaten, and then he whispered to my husband “you want to open it anyway”! When my husband opened the box it was full of frogs the little boy had collected! We sure got a kick out of that!

Congratulations ladies– all of your cards rocked!

I think everything my kids say is funny… they constantly make me laugh. Recently my 4 year old tried to convince me to let her eat a snack in the bedroom…

“One night daddy letted me eat carrots and dip in your bedroom on a night when you were at a meeting because everybody has different rules… he lets me eat in the bedroom… and one time he lets me eat crackers because he has different rules even if its messy and has crumbs… and makes a mess.”

I loved all of the cards but these five were my favorites too. Congrats all, can’t wait till next Monday @ noon!!! You are all great!!

My neice (age 5) asked “How big are Mommy Longlegs (spiders)? All I’ve ever seen are Daddy Longlegs!” I thought it was great!

Congratulations to the top 5! Another round of gorgeous cards!!

Funny things a child has said to me?!?! My 2-year-old is funny pretty much all of the time but one that stands out was just recently she was getting ready for a bath so was naked. She has a thing about shaking and showing off her ‘nudey bum’ and well this day apparently she made a first-time discovery as she exclaimed to me ‘Mommy, look, my nudey bum has a hole in it!!’ Priceless I tell you. The girl makes me laugh every day!!

Congrats everyone! Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with next week!

I don’t know if it’s super funny but it made me giggle at the time. Just a few minutes ago my 3 year old said “Mama look! My shirt is just like a napkin!” as she wiped blueberry muffin all over it! LOL!

With 5 grandchildren, ranging from age 20 to 8, I have memories of quite a few funny things they have said, but this is one of my favorites. My husband and I were telling our, at the time, 7 year old granddaughter that we were very proud of her because she was being such a good girl. She replied “I have been being good, but Mom keeps getting me into trouble at home.”

All those cards are amazing! I can’t think of a funny saying that a kid has said to me. I am drawning a blank. Sorry.

The funniest thing wasn’t so much what my nephew said, but what he did. My nephew is the skinniest kid I know. When he was about 5 years old, he was running around outside and I noticed his pants were starting to slip down. I told him “Pull up your pants!” He looked at me quizzically, grabbed his pants around the knee areas and proceeded to pull them up so that his ankles were showing! I guess I should have specified what part of his pants to pull up!

Yea, kids are the funniest! My 2 yr old asked a lady he just saw this morning what had happened to her foot w/ a cast. Then he said to me that she was “silly” for not looking where is was going!

congrats to the 5 ladies!

knock knock
who’s there?
you
you who?
you whooooo!
(my 4 yr old son)

I was teaching a group of preschoolers, and one of the little boys had an Old Navy shirt on. I asked him if he liked Old Navy, and he goes “Yes. But I don’t think there is one close to here. I don’t know where it is.” It may not be extremely funny, but it cracked me up! =)

Lovin’ those buttons, ladies. I just need to start my own button stash. =)

Congrats idol finalists- your cards are all fantastic and I love your button ideas.

My 4 yr old loves bad jokes. His favourite is “what do you call a man in a tree?” “Rustle!” Of course, it IS cute and funny when HE tells it.

We also have a hardware chain here called “bunnings”. He went with my DH there to get some supplies around Easter, and he told me he got it from the bunnies! So cute

My 5 yr old nephew wanted me to spend the night at his house. When I asked where I would be sleeping he said “not in my bed- you are too big” We all had a great time. It made me see how they view the world. Things are big from their angle.

I actually haven’t been around too many young kids to hear something really funny, but I look forward to the day I do!

Love those Kiddie sayings! The funniest thing a kid ever said to me was when I was 8 months pregnant, and my 4 year old cousin asked me “How you gonna have that baby anyway??? Frow (throw) it up?

Hehe those cards are cute… as a button! Sorry, couldn’t help myself. Congratulations Idol Winners.

Almost everything that comes out of my nephew cracks me up. He’s a witty teen now but I remember when he was a toddler and his favorite movie was “Fox and the Hound.” He wanted to watch it any chance he got and in the grocery store at the top of his lungs he blurted out, “I wanna watch Fauk-n Hound!” over and over. Say it out loud and you’ll get why it’s funny! I was trying my hardest not to bust up laughing or turn beet red, or to explain that my nephew really wasn’t cussing up a storm at two. I think most people understood and were giggling at the cuteness. XDDD

My niece recently told me, “I’m not excited about turning 6 but I’m excited about my birthday party!” I thought wait until you turn 40!!

Super cute button cards!

My son says funny things all the time. His latest…… A boy at school was telling the class that his uncle is 98 years old. All the other kids “ooohhed” and “aahhed”. MY SON… he leans in and says to me, under his breath, “He’s probably only got two more years.” Yes, I live with Dr. Death. He keeps me laughing though….the eternal optimist that he is:)

Congratulations ladies–good luck on the final round.
At my grandson’s pre-school graduation, he had to sing the last verse of this land is your land. It is a hard verse for a preschooler–he got through In the shadow of the steeple–(couldn’t remember the rest and ended with) I see my people just standing round looking dumb. Didn’t miss a beat but everyone else was cracking up, including the teacher.

Congrats you five. You did a great job.
The funniest thing I’ve ever heard was when we built our house my hubby was putting a door in our hall and and our almost 3 yr old wanted to bop bop the door with a hammer like his daddy. So my hubby gave him the nail and hammer and he rared back and bopped the hammer and his thumb. He started hollering and the throwed the hammer and nail down. So hubby decided that he could finally put the door in and as soon as he started hammering again. Dear son wanted to hammer so hubby gave him a hammer and son looked up at his daddy and said no daddy you hold the nail. I just about rolled on the floor. the look on hubby’s face was priceless.

My daughter was about 18 mos and was alone in the living room. She came running down the hall yelling, “What do I have? What do I have?”

I heard some weird noises and said, “I don’t know, what do you have?” Luckily, it was only the tissue wrapping paper I’d left out.

We are in Canada visting my parents on their farm right now. My 5 year old has not been around horses much and when she was riding Grandme’s horse a few days ago, I said ‘Wow, looks like we have a cowgirl on our hands!’ She answers me with hand on hip…’Maaahm….it’s not a cow, it’s a HORSE!’

When I was very pregnant with our 3rd child, my son who was 3 at the time, asked, “How did the baby get in your tummy – did you eat it?”

The cards are phenomenal!!

What a fun giveaway! My daughter, who was 3 at the time, was in the car with my sister & I when we passed a Krispy Kreme donut store. She got very excited and pointed out the window that they have donuts there!!! I said- how do you know? She replied- my daddy takes me there! I thought it was too funny! (and apparently very true!)

I have a 5 year old and 3 year old (and a baby) and hear funny things from them all the time…I can’t think of just one.

My daughter made me laugh years ago when she and I were visiting the restroom at a restaurant. She had just learned to read and when she saw the sanitary napkin dispenser she said, “Why would you pay 25 cents for a napkin when you can get them outside for free!” Still makes me laugh.

awesome finalists! congrats ladies
my friend’s sister is hilarious, she’s 4 and full of great comments including “i don’t wanna get married because then i’d have to sleep with a boy”

When my nephew was about 4(now 18) we had slept with the windows open and he woke up a little hoarse. I said Justin you sound a little hoarse, he said “well, well, you sound like an elephant” We still laugh about that.

Congrats to the top 5!
Jennifer

Not the world’s funniest thing, but my 19 month old daughter made me laugh this morning when she walked around the house saying ‘uh oh’ at everything. I love her innocence!

When she saw the whirlpool bathtub in our beach rental my six year old daughter started jumping up and down yelling, “I get to take a bath in the tomato bathtub! I get to take a bath in the tomato bathtub!” Her brothers looked at us with quizzical looks on their faces which is what I’m sure they saw on ours. We finally figured out that she was saying “tornado bathtub” which is what she figured she’d experience when the jets were turned on. We don’t have one at our home but she saw one in her friend’s house.

Congrats to all of the top 5! Incredibly wonderful cards!! My funny kid remark is from my son. He was born in 1990 and when he was 6 years old(1996) he was watching a TV show about Michael Jackson. He looked at me and said……”Michael Jackson is black?” Well, I really had to stop to realize that since my son was born in 1990 he would have never seen a “black” M.J. Sure made me feel old!!

The funniest thing…

My son was a big Thomas fan and watched it every day. One day I was cleaning the bathroom and he kept coming and getting into things and I lost my patience with him. “Is you cross, mommy?” Were the next words out of his mouth and of course I was no longer cross.

Congrats to all the Top 5 finalists!

My son is a constant source of funny stories. When he was 3 and recently potty-trained, he flushed the toilet, and asked me “where does the poop go?” I told him we should call Grandpa Pete (my parents live in New Mexico). My son seemed pretty shocked and then said “you mean all the poop goes to Taos, New Mexico?”

I explained that Grandpa is a plumber so he could give a better explanation of what happens when we flush the toilet. Funny little guy!

what’s wrong with your hair??

My daughter is notorious for talking with food in her mouth. One night at dinner, instead of reminding her to use her manners, I just answered her question (which she asked with a mouthful of salad.) She said, “Mom, you have dentist’s ears.” Her explanation? A dentist can understand what you’re saying even if you have a mouthful of fluoride!

another grandchild cute sayings –

my 8 yr old granddaughter went to work with me at the church where I run the tv broadcast. She was on the stage testing the mic for me with her carefully worded “1..2..3..4.. “as she was instructed when a loud voice came over the house speakers “Olivia this is your conscience speaking” (the pastor on is portable lapel mike) She promptly stomped her foot and said “No you’re not I know what my conscience sounds like! It sounds like my mommy and not an old man!” He was not offended and laughed. They spent the day pulling ricks on one another. It was such a fun day.

As an elementary teacher, my list of adorable kid quotes grows longer with each day! But I think one of my all-time favorites came this last November leading up to the elections. I teach second grade, and we were discussing campaigning and the process of becoming president. One of my boys, Philly, came up to me and was just pouring out his convictions that Obama just had to win because he was a Democrat and his mom would be really sad if he lost, etc. Now, working waaaay in the back of the room was another one of my cutie boys. He apparently overheard my conversation with Philly, got all excited, and promptly shouted from the back of the room… “Hey! I’m claustriphobic!” Democrats, claustriphobia…. He had a big word, and he found a way to use it. hehe

One of the cutest things my 2 and a half year old has said thus far was one evening when we were in the backyard. He looks up at the sky and not used to seeing the moon ‘lit’ he says, Look mommy, look daddy! Jesus turned the moon on!’ Thanks so much for a chance to win!

Congrats ladies, awesome cards! What my funny 2 yr. old says: “O give thanks unto the Lord for CHEESE is good (it’s supposed to be He is good).” Can you guess what his favorite food is?

I was teaching some Awana Cubbies (4 year old children) and trying to explain to them that “we all have sinned” so they would understand why Jesus died for us. I asked them to tell me something wrong they had done. My granddaughter who was in my class said, “I flushed the stool when daddy was taking a shower!”

Looks like I’m a little late but how could I not tell you what my nephew once said to me. We were outside together and he leaned over and whispered “Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but I’m really Peter Parker” (AKA Spiderman). He believed it too!
