My grandkid said the cutest thing—- (present, kids, old, grandkids)

Here is a place to record the cute things your grandkids say. If they said something you remember from years before, or yesterday, you can memorialize it here. I am assuming you would want to post cute things that delight you or make you smile.

Here’s something granddaughter said to me a couple of days ago: “Grandma, my favorite onomonopeia is moo.”

I’d forgotten the meaning of onomonopeia and had to do quick lookup.

Your turn.

I have a hysterical video on my phone of oldest grandson (5) singing "Mersey Doats and Doazy Doats and Little Lambsey Divey" (a song he knows by heart because I've sung it to him and his younger brother since they were born). His singing style bears a close resemblance to Alfalfa of the Little Rascals, especially his wind up with a high screetchy "Little Lambsey D-I-I-I-I-VEEEEEEEE!"

Cute! I didn't know for a long time that the song is really saying mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy. You can google the lyrics and have some more fun singing with the grandkids.

I kept listening to grandchild #9 in the other room and thinking her voice reminded me of someone, couldn't figure it out for the longest time. Then it clicked - Alvin the Chipmunk. LOL

so cute - My mother same that song to us when we were children, so I sang them to my own as well. As well as Bill Harlan's Goat - was feeling fine...
One of them would not be good these days to sing as it uses the word Slave in it.
what about - The Bee I EE ....

This was funny to me: grandson (about 3 or 4) stopped what he was doing and said” wait a minute! I have to go talk to myself.”

I had the grandkids overnight a few weeks ago. That morning I went to kitchen and announced I’d make scramb—. At that point I remembered that my cooktop was on the fritz, and I said so. Granddaughter looked up at me and said, “Panera?”

I told her to go asl Grandpa, who is a pushover. We are at Panera that morning.

We're struggling to potty train youngest grandson (who will be three next month), and he's fighting it tooth and nail. Whenever I'm around (which has been most of the summer), I seem to always get elected to change his poopy didees when he drops a load. DD (his mom) will say to him, "Tell Nan you have a present for her." Now, whenever he's done something in his pants, he'll just come to me and say, "Nanny, I have present for YOU."

Granddaughter would ask questions about anything when small. I would answer and/or show her what she wanted to know. Around age 4 she asked me "Mimi, how do you know everything?" I replied, somewhat sinisterly "Mimi knows EVERYTHING".

Now as a young teen the roles are reversed. Now SHE is the one who "knows everything." They grow up too fast............

I think that I would start saying, "Nope, that's a present for MOM!"
