Been online almost 30 years, never been owned this hard.

From one dad to another: "lol owned"

Your son sounds very mature and honest though. I suspect good parenting.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
It's an amusingly polite way to say "I think you are full of poo poo."

For some reason my 8 year old has taken to calling males Fudge Cake as an insult.
My 4 year old's favorite sentences all start with "actually"

This happened today:

Eowyn: Ethan you're so annoying you FUDGE CAKE!

Ethan: Actually I'm a human I have skin not fudge.

Eowyn: Stop being a dumb fudge cake boy!

Ethan: Actually Mommy likes fudge cake so I'll be a fudge cake cause she will love me more than you YOU SKIN CAKE!

Ah yes the totally strange and unusual "Ethan".
Also Eowyn is an old English name and seeing as how my husband is an old English I'd kindly like to ask you to mind your own drat business and stop being a fudge cake.

My logic is that Eowyn was the most awesome character in a book series that actually caused me and my husband to meet (at the LOTR Oscar Party in LA) and the books are done so it's not gonna blow up in my face like Kahleesi would.
Also silly me for thinking this thread was about funny poo poo kids say and not about the opinion of said funny kid's lovely parents.

Tider skal komme,
tider skal henrulle,
slægt skal følge slægters gang



Last week I was playing a tabletop game with my parents while they looked after my siste's son H (2y). He was sitting next to dad and talked about his big "bag of figures" (smurfs, lego, animals). He likes to put them on the table one by one while telling us something about each one, "he's surprised about the bear!", "this one is hungry because I ate his eggs hahaha", etc, while we comment on them "oh was he hungry? Maybe there are more eggs in the bag?"

Btw he calls Miss Piggy "Mads Piggy" (like Mads Mikkelsen — the D is silent so it's pretty close, also his dad has a cousin named Mads).

Anyway, suddenly he wanted my dad to make a gesture with his hand. He repeatedly showed it and went "do like this with your hand grandpa" and grandpa replicated it, but H got more and more frustrated because it wasn't what he meant.

Poor guy had some idea in his head about a very specific gesture that he couldn't execute himself, and couldn't explain either.

He was thrusting his arm out, bent down at the wrist with the palm out & fingers spread. Who knows what image he had in his head though, I wonder what it was.

Max, 12: “Just turn it.”

Sam, 10: “Just straighten it out.”

Alex, 12: “Just turn the wheel to the left.”

Nina, 8: “What’s it stuck on, sand? They should move the sand.”

Theo, 6: “They should get giant oars and row it.”

Owen, 5: “Just get a crane to lift it up. Did they call the crane to lift it up?!”

Teddy, 4: “They need a crane and a rope and a ramp and a car. The car will run on the ramp and cut the rope and land on the boat with a crash. This will bump the boat back into the sea. If that doesn’t work, we could just add another car. Double force!!

Oliver, 6: “I would just push the back until it was free and could float away. I’ve seen things like this in my life. Like sticks in the creek.”

Henry, 8: “They need to start with blowing up the land that the boat is stuck on, without hurting the boat. Like little explosions. The next thing they need are a bunch of helicopters with winches on the bottom. They should attach lines to the front and the back of the boat to the helicopters. Then the helicopters will fly in opposite directions—just a little—so the boat turns free. Oh. First you should rescue the people. Always rescue the people first.”

Hugo, 5: “Cut it!” [“Cut what?”] “The corner of the boat. Cut it off.”

Dominic, 9: “Push it!” [“Push it with what?”] “I don’t know. Get a giant hunk of metal. Get a bunch of pistons.”

Thomas, 4, while playing with a small toy car: “Tie the boat to my car with a string. The car will pull out the boat.”

Henry’s idea is cool & good and could create liquefaction that enables the ship to settle deeper into the water and into the sediment. A sufficiently powerful earthquake right now would do the same thing.

Do use tugboats rather than helicopters to spin it around, though.

I can only find one paper on induced liquefaction to free grounded ships, so it may actually be a bad idea.
