What is with the eggs??? About This Page:

Here's my theory.

Kids are weirdos.

That's basically the entire theory.. although, I sometimes add on the 'and aliens broadcast orders directly into their brains,' clause, just for good measure.

At about 2 years old my daughter decided that her left hand is Pocahontas and her right hand is John Smith. She still talks to them sometimes (2 years later), and still gets VERY upset if you get them mixed up..

ROTFLMAO!!!! I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard! Thanks for the smile.

I am trying to imagine my 3 year old doing something like that and I can easily picture it.

You could always get back at him later in life by printing out what you wrote here, and giving copies to all his potential girlfriends [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

As eggsasperating (sorry, couldn't help myself) as this must be for you-think how funny it is to all of us [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I think I am gonna go with Beaners idea and let danny create his own special eggies and give him a little nest in the fridge....and keep the good eggs in a tightly sealed tupperware container!.....incase he remembers that it really wasnt the eggy swearing and making a mess.

My daughter curses on occasion as well, but pretty much only to tell us it's not nice..

"Mommy, ooooooooooh, you shouldn't say $%#@" [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

We try our best around her, but I guess we let them slip. Oh, and she'll use them in quotes.

"The guy on the movie was driving his car, and he hit another car, and he said #@^%$."

The only time she'll say one 'on her own' (without it being something she's repeating) is when she stubs her toe.. and then she says Darn it- but not quite.. [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]

She does take quite a bit of delight in the little bit of cursing she gets to do, though. Especially when she gets to chide us while doing it.

Might I make a suggestion of switching to using "Egg Beaters" in your house?! Somehow, I just don't think he would find a paper carton as "entertaining" as the little, breakable, white guys... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Oh my gosh! This is just too funny! Arent kids the best! Hmmmm ever thought about investing some money into having your own chickens around the house? Might be easier than going to the store every 2 days and getting more eggs! Pretty soon youre going to have to go to different stores to buy your eggs, people are going to wonder why you are buying them all the time!

This is about the funnist thing I've ever read! This is the first time I've read the off topic chat. I can see I'm going to have to do it more often. At about 2 1/2 years old, my son developed a love (fetish?) for stop signs. When were were driving, he'd go ballistic and yell, "top, top, top" (he didn't have the s sound) every time he saw one. He'd just get calmed down and sure enough, he'd see another one. When we went for walks, he'd have to hug the pole that was attached to the stopsign. I'd about have to tear him off. I thought my son was "eggstreme", but your story "beats" mine.

ROTFL MARV!! I am so glad to hear that my son is not the only one out there to have a strange attraction to an inanimate object! and yes....you must STOP over here sometimes! This is really an amusing bunch of people!! I enjoy nothing more than comming here after a long days work...I know someone will make me laugh!

My oldest DD would FREAK OUT every time she saw a fly. I mean, screaming, crying, sobbing! It made life interesting for awhile.

As for the swearing...my coworker, (who is about the sweetest, nicest gal in the world) has a 2 year old. Molly is angelic with curly hair and the appearence of a pixie. Imagine my coworkers surprise when Molly came running in from the patio, pointing over her shoulder with her little thumb and announcing in her little pixie voice, "Mommy! There's a F------ Bee Outside!" Now, my coworker and her DH would never use this word, so, where she got it is a mystery, but they said that while they certainly did not approve, and let Molly know right away, they said it was pretty hilarious coming out of that angelic little mouth! Molly now knows this is not a "good Word", but it has been an entertaining story for us grownups!

Kruggie,
Forgot to mention, during the stop sign fetish, we moved into a new house. He could actually see a stop sign out his window. He was in heaven! We decorated his room in a "vechicle" theme. As you can guess, there were many stop sign decorations in there. Any ideas for an "egg" theme? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Serioulsy, he did get over his love of stop signs. Just go with the flow (no pun intended this time) and don't worry about him. My son is 10 now, and very intelligent. (He was reading by age 4 1/2. I did not teach him.) Still to this day, when a subject interests him, he finds out all he can about it and we've always encouraged his love of learning and creativity. (I, by the way, do not have a creative bone in my body, so imagine me trying to raise a kid like this [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I can't tell you how many books parenting books I've read over the years!) I think intelligent children dance to the beat of a different drummer. It's that whole left brain/right brain thing. Write down all these funny stories. I didn't and wish I would have. I haven't thought about the stop sign thing for years. Thanks for your post. I've has so much fun reading all of the comments!
