Our 3 year old has a habit of saying "yes" to whatever we ask her. Yesterday, she agreed that she went to the moon, and told @ozzy and @mrsozzy all about it. She went to Vegas too, apparently.
Oh man she is so adorable! Of course so are your boys. I'm sure you will hear some great stuff from them soon as they start talking more.
Play date at the mall yesterday with Nana and Papa and daddy and big brother. Big brother decides he's going to hide in a little "cave" and growl at the other kids who run by. Daughter decides, if he's going to be a big monster, she'll be a little one and growl at everybody, too.
At one point, she's wearing an imaginary coat, imaginary socks, imaginary gloves and an imaginary hat so she can climb the mountain the cave is in. She occasionally "loses" an item and asks an adult if they've seen it. They hand it to her and she puts it back on. This is also how she gets imaginary ice cream with sprinkles.
Her dad does the whole "got your nose" routine. She puts her hand to her face and says "Oh no!" Bends over to grab something on the ground, pops her hand to her face again and says "It's ok, I got a new one!" and runs off to play some more.
I'll try anything twice . . .

I' getting all sentimental now and remembering the cute made-up words they used, because they didn't know the real ones.
When my daughter was three she saw the first anthill of her life on a hiking tour and cried excitedly: Look mummy, a bug castle!

Took my family to the pool this weekend and there were lots of younger families there. Ours were the oldest and lots were with infants/toddlers so the parents were ~ 5-15 years younger than us. After in the change room my son 11 goes "dad, you are skinier than all the other dads." I say well "I don't work out for the skinny (flexing)". He say "yeah not really skinny"
When my daughter was 3 and started getting particular about her clothing....... "MOM! I don't like neck turtles! Or ladytards! ) Of course that meant turtlenecks and leotards, she slays me!
My 2.5 y/o's new thing is "sure". When a big kid comes up and asks me for permission to do anything, if 2 y/o is in earshot, she responds "sure" before I can say anything. It sounds like "shore".
Oh, that reminds me of another one from my 2.5 year old: She took a pear and insisted I eat every other bite. "are we sharing?" she asks. i say yeah. she says "I'm not gonna share with my kids."
growingafamily reminded me, back when my eldest was two or three, learning to set the table, he had a lot of trouble with the word 'fork.' "Momma, me give Daddy a fuck?" Yes, sweetie, you do that.
When our daughter was about 4 she wanted to become a kid doctor: "Then I can help children and heal them when they are sick. And I get to stick needles in them, too!"
No, she hasn't got a sadistic streak. I suppose she was just sick of being on the wrong end of the needle.

I'm eating a protein bar and my 4yo daughter says, "Do you want God to be mad at you for not sharing?" )

They do, but it's different..
I thought there was a video of Matthew McConaughey saying it at some point, but google is no help..
