I know this site is mainly for sharing motherly wisdom and advice, but most of us moms during our stressful moment would like something other than problems to focus on. So can you share a joke or something funny so we all can laugh...laughter is the best medicine!

My son bruised his leg, so while dressing it, he said to me, "Mommy don't touch it, it will make it break, and then I am going to have to cry all over again."...

Every SINGLE wednesday morning, I watch my neighbor across the street run over his garbage can while backing out of his driveway. He doesn't get out of the car and bring the can up, he uses the CAR to push it over into the lawn. This cracks me up, I actually look FORWARD to it every week!

When I have gas I say "pardon me." When my kids forget to excuse themselves I might ask them "what do you say?" and they say "Pardon Me." So last week when we were Trick or Treating we went up to one house and my kids stood there with thier bags open, the lady asked my 3 yr old girl "What do you Say" Baby Girl looked really confused and said "Pardon Me?" I thought I was going to pee myself. When we walked away my baby was telling me, "I didn't burp mommy, I promise!"

This past Monday morning I was so tired from the weekend including staying up later because of Halloween. My kids were eating breakfast at the table when my 5 year old started to say something with food in his mouth. I had to remind him as usual to not talk with your mouth full of food but this time it came out "No eating with your mouth full. It's rude!". My kids looked at me with a "HUH???" look on their face and we all bust up laughing.

Of course they had to repeat it several times since. It has now become an inside joke at home =-)

lol that's cute, my step daughter was helping me put up some sheet rock in the house we currently live in and prepare the house for a toddler that was coming to visit for a week. my husband goes to help her measure and cut and she got upset with him and said "DAD! let me do it, if you don't do it right it wont fit!" was so funny at the time the funny part is my husband has a lot of remodeling experience and actually does that on the side....so he knows what he's doing...but just the fact that a beginner said that to him was cute

answers from Kansas City on

Whenever I'm discussing behavior issues with my 3 yo, my six year old tries to put in his two cents. I always tell him that I am not talking to him at the moment and he needs to be quiet because I'm the M. and I'm dealing with it.

Well, the other day my 3 yo was climbing all over my 6 yo's back and yapping some sort of nonsense at him while his brother was telling him to get off. I piped in from the kitchen, "Ave, get off your brothers back! Quit yelling at him and leave him alone!" My 3 yo came into the kitchen, gritted his teeth, and through them said, "M., I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU! I'M TALKING TO AIDAN!"

I calmly said, "Well, I'm talking to you and you don't talk to me that way. Go to your room." Then turned around and laughed my butt off. Who says kids don't listen?

answers from Phoenix on

I was looking down at the backyard from my daughters bedroom window and speaking with my husband about what types of flowers would look nice planted down in the flower beds.

That night while tucking her in she said, 'Mommy, I don't want flowers in my bed. I don't think there is enough room." It took me a moment to realize what she was talking about and that she had overheard the earlier conversation. Honey, I promise not to put flowers in your bed....But to this day, wouldn't it have been funny to pick up some dollar store flowers and lay them all over her bed?

My youngest is 31 months--going on 20 yrs. One night last week we were in bed and she kept saying "my pretty xxxx" I could not figure out what the last word was. Well, I guess she decided after I asked her 3 times what she said that she was not going to tell me any more. With a big sigh, she huffed, turned over and said "never mind". Then last Thursday on a realtively calm day of 3 very windy days, my husband had her outside raking leaves. He told her they had to go in because he had to get ready for work. She told him to wait. He told her to hurry up and her response was, "Daddy, (sigh), I am watching the trees". With big emphasis on the word watching. I have 3 tweens and i swear a 2 1/2 yr old teenager.

the other day my youngest son (almost 4) said "Mommy, WHY are you making pot-gross for dinner? I don't like it, it tastes yucky." HMMM, wonder if his feelings about the taste have anything to do with the name, or did the name came from the taste!?

My 4 year old son, his grandmother, and I were in the car, going through the drive-thru at McDonalds. My son always gets a chicken nugget happy meal, but I always ask him what he wants to drink, as it usually varies between a juice box or orange drink. So I look in my rearview mirror to ask him what kind of drink he'd like, to which he replies, as serious as a heart attack,

"I'll take a diet."

Both grandmother and I lost it!

Also, my son LOVES to yodle. Don't ask, I have no idea where he got it, (naturally suspect tv), but out of the blue, he'll burst into a really boisterous yodle, and it cracks me up everytime. I love it.

My 2 year old reputedly referred to his Halloween outfit this year as a “ba-man cos-kume”. It made me laugh so much that I kept asking him to say it over and over.
________________

Once in a while my son will call us by our first names, mimicking what he hears us call each other. We always correct him and say “my name is mommy” or “my name is daddy”. So one day we were driving in the car and I was giving my husband a hard time about something (I can’t remember what now…) and a tiny little voice from the back seat says “Robby in trouble”
