The Awesome Stuff Your Child Says!

Yes, we have another site in our syndicate.

But if you have kids, you’re going to LOVE it.

Have you ever been in line at the grocery store and had your son or daughter say something that made you want to melt into a puddle and then get mopped into a bucket?

Or has your child said something so funny or touching, you wished you could cast it in silver and hang it on the wall?

Good or bad, one thing seems to hold true. When our children have a memorable verbal experience, we are usually eager to share it.

Now we have a way for you to share with style!

Blogger Dad has designed what I think is our most adorable site yet.

The premise is simple. The site is called “Things My Child Says.” You can submit a quote from your child, niece, baby brother, you when you were small, the kid down the street who wears a purple shirt and runs real fast, it doesn’t matter, send it in. We’ll post it with a smile to match your own.

Along with the quote, you can send a brief introduction to give the story context, then David will post it on the site for others to see and comment on. You can send a photo to go along with the quote if you’d like, but it’s not necessary.

You can click on the submissions page for more details, but make sure to visit ThingsMyChildSays. You’ll love it. If you want free updates delivered to your inbox, click here.

  • I do want free updates delivered to my inbox and that's why I've subscribed!
    Seriously though, I love the idea and I've already submitted a few quotes.
    I like the design too. It's on Frugal isn't it?

    Good stuff!

    BTW one of my children said something today that I won't be submitting. It would have made Slim Shady blush.
  • Congrats on the new site! Kids really do make the best comedy (even if it's often messy).

    Funny you should say that about being in the grocery line...was that a prompt for me to tell your readers about the time you made me want to sink into a puddle at the store?...OK, here goes....

    Back when you were a small child and I did not allow junk food in the house we were in line at Ralphs' Market with our routine purchases of healthy produce, whole wheat bread, yoghurt, etc. In line right before us was a rather heavyset lady with not one thing of nutritional value on the conveyer belt. I could see your awestruck little eyes scanning her purchases faster than the checker could and I dreaded what was coming. You started tugging at my skirt..."MOM......MOM.....MOMMMM" very loudly now, with no discretion or regard to the fact that she was standing right next to us: "Doesn't that lady KNOW that all that stuff is reaaallly baaaad for her and is only going to make her fatter than she already is?" I wished I could have "beamed me up, scotty" anywhere but here! The woman looked over as I stuttered an apology and said, "Its all right.....the sad part is that it's really true and I should know better". Perhaps you saved her life and led her to a healthier lifestyle that day, but I was embarrassed beyond belief! AND...... how about the day we went to the battered woman's shelter to take groceries and you had asked ahead of time why we were going and who lived there and I explained, never hedging from the truth.....only to have you say loudly: MOM.....MOMMMMM.... That lady doesn't look like she was beat up!!" when the lady at the shelter opened the door... "I'm sooooo sorry"!!!!!!!! I COULD GO ON, but I think your readers get the message that even back then you always had plenty to say and were not afraid to say it VERY LOUDLY!!!!!!!

    loved you then, love you still, mom
