Kids Say the Darndest Things (Dec 2023)

I feel bad about laughing at this one. Because in the moment he really felt this strongly about it. But one time I couldn’t play with Jack because I was feeding Andie and he started bawling and yelled this.

JACK: I am SO alone. I’m even more alone than Home Alone!


CASEY: Whenever I take a bath, my hands get all prinkly.


JACK: What planet do we live on?

ME: Earth, dude.

JACK: Oh. … I wonder which planet we’ll live on next.


ME: Can you count from one to ten?

CASEY: Of course, that’s easy. One. Two. Ten.


On an airplane.

JACK: What are they talking about?

ME: Oh, well, the stewardess just talks about what to do in case there’s an emergency.

JACK: Oh, okay, I get it. *looks around* So where is the parachute.

ME: …

JACK: Just in case.


ME: *laying with Casey to help him fall asleep* Okay, no more talking. Bed time.

CASEY: Okay, Mom.

ME: …

CASEY …

ME: …

CASEY: *whispers* Mom? Do sharks cry?


Dan and Jack sharing a bowl of chips.

JACK: Hey! You ate it all gone!

DAN: You ate half of it!

JACK: Well… teamwork makes the dreamwork.


Jack blows his nose.

CASEY: I need a tissue too. *gets one from the box and blows his nose*

JACK: Casey, you can use my tissue.

CASEY: I already have one!

JACK: Oh okay… Hey, I know! Let’s trade!

CASEY: Okay!


JACK: Hey Dad? What is it that you do when you’re at work?

DAN: Oh. Well, I make sure people get the right medicine. And see if there are any mistakes with what they’re taking. Call doctors stuff like that.

JACK: That doesn’t sound so hard. I could do that.

DAN: Gee thanks.

JACK: Because I’m Super Speedy Sonic!


JACK: Hey Mom, I have a question.

ME: Oh okay, what is it?

JACK: I love you so much. You are my very favorite person ever. Even more favorite than grandma.
