I was just playing with the kids, that live in the upstairs of our house with their mom,

i was hiding behind the TV unit waiting for them to come down and I yelled "Where are you???"

the little girl, shes 5, yelled back from upstairs, "Im right here!! Putting on my Dragon suit so I can win!!!"

I thought that was very cute... I immediately thought that would be a great story book in the style of "where the wild things are"

Dunno if you have cute kid stories but if you do please share!!

I don't have kids (I am one), but my sister's friend's sisters seem to like me. They always drag me around asking me "what's that" a million times about the same thing.

Well, one time, the older decided she wanted to learn how to play the clarinet...long story, but by the end of that night, I couldn't even see the floor of my room. They also managed to find my hidden stash of Belgian chocolate. They weren't allowed to have any, though. Phew! I promised to save them some, but they forgot.

Oh, yeah, and about the clarinet, by the time they left, the older baby was better at playing than her mom (neither having played before).

I bet Steven's got a bunch of cute kid stories. Steven?

Mine:

My GF's neice(5 yrs old) is really precocious. She blushes whenever me and my GF get all mushy in front of people. One day, we were kissing, and she said, "You shouldn't do that too much. It's becoming a bad habit."

Hahaha.

here's mine, i was walking down the stairs of a subway station in brooklyn new york. there was a family ahead of me, a man two women and alittle kid. the kid was about 3. maybe even younger. the two women walk ahead of the kid. and the man was walking slower. so the kid was inbetween the three of them. right when i though how odd it was to leave a little kid like that walking alone down the stairs, he fell. he fell, he rolled down the stairs. as if in slow motion. must have fell 7 feet. the two women who had made it down already turn around and see the kid tumbling down. i look in amazement as the kid gets right back up and holds their hands and continues walking as if nothing had happened. future stuntman i thought to myself. if that had happened to me, i'd be on the floor crying for help.

I forgot to mention that I don't particularly like little kids, they just get...drawn to me, then like me forever. It's kinda scary really.

The day before Yesterday my Mom and I were having coffee in Tim Hortons and My mom went up to get a donut. In front of her was a Grandmother and her two grandsons. She was trying to order and forgot what beverage she wanted so the oldest kid looked up and said "My gramma wants a cappucino" the Tim Hortons employee looked at her and she nodded then the kid looked at her and said "Gramma, whats a cappucino?"

It was kinda cute...

a friend overheard a mother and her boy at the zoo:

Mom - (pointing at a seal) What's the name of that animal?
Boy - Huh?
Mom - What's the name of that animal?
Boy - (says nothing but looks like a question mark)
Mom - (again) what's that animals name?! (pointing)
Boy - ... Uhh.... Fred..?

thought it was cute

Tee-hee! I love little kids. That has gotta be my biggest weakness in terms of instantly being able to eliminate any masculinity I have.

My little brother's newest cute little thing is that he refuses to eat fries from McDonald's because he insists that we're saying "flies".

So we're always like "Matt, you wanna try some fries" and he scrunches up his face and goes "no way! you guys eww!"

[Mindsiphon]

I have new ones everyday!

They may not seem funny to anyone reading but if you have a baby, niece, nephew or a baby brother or sister then you'll understand.

My daughter is 1 1/2 and she's always doing something funny.

I like to make iced tea once in awhile and she see's me stirring in sugar with a spoon before I take a sip. I leave the spoon in the glass and stir each time before I sip.
Now when my daughter drinks from a regular cup she dips her spoon or hand in to stir her drink before she drinks it.

A few months back we were watching a football game on TV and she walked up to the TV and pointed to the zero on the 20 yard line and called it a ball. She thinks everything round is called "ball".

Everytime she sees another baby on TV, outside, in a book or her own reflection, she points and says "baby!"
The funny thing is she sees older kids like 10 or 11 years old and she calls them baby too.

I could go on and on.

Sorry I'm late in replying Lunatique.

I don't know if they can compete in cuteness with little babies, my kids are 9 and 7 now, but they do stuff that impresses me, some of it is funny too.

They whip my ass EVERY SINGLE FREAKIN TIME when we play against each other in Halo, even when we're 4 in 2 teams and I'm teamed up with one of their friends. Come to think of it, that's not even the slightest bit funny... well I beat them at laser tag at least.

The other day the older got into my sweater and ran around chanting "I'm Shrunken Daddy!" Then a little while later he whispered some instructions to little brother, who put on my pants, laid down on the floor, and the older placed himself so they looked like one big person. It looked hilarious when the smaller one wiggled his legs... well you had to be there.

Rat, I had the same problem with kids when I was a teenager, I thought it was me too. But it's not you or me, it's kids - they have an instinct to bond with any older person. You could call it a survival strategy I guess.

[Lunatique]

Oh man, Steven. I can't believe you get your ass whipped by 7~9 yr-olds in a FPS. You must hang your head in shame now.

Well, you can always say the following when they kick your ass:

"I MADE you, but I can also DESTROY you."

Wahahahahaha!

[Steven Stahlberg]

Hm, I'm not half bad for an old guy...

But you should see him in action, my older son... for instance in Halo: 'Attack on the Control Room':
If you kill one of the earth soldiers you can take his sniper rifle, make sure you also have a rocket launcher. Climb up to the plateau above the cave entrance where an enemy tank is patrolling, after killing the tank of course, you can just barely get there on the right hand side.
From there he aims with the sniper rifle high and far across the other side of the valley, where you can just barely see a high ledge with a Banshee through the mist... he changes to the rocket launcher without budging and fires it (that way you can aim it much better!), if you do it just right the Banshee will tumble down and you can go over there and use it. He's succeeded several times. I just find this amazing, he's read no internet tips or anything, I didn't help him, he just likes using the Banshees.

[Rat]

That sounds like what you can do in one of the Tomb Raider games. You get these monks to help you or something. I've never played it though .

My friend's sisters like to sit on people. She likes to be annoying. I can see where they get their annoying streak.

[Awetopsy]

I cant wait for Halo to come out for PC....

[Coaster]

Wow, a lot of you have had pretty nice experiences... most of mine consist of ceiling fans and liquid nitrogen...

and a few pigeons and latex gloves...

...and fire balloons. Another thing I made that (literally) went up in smoke.
I later redesigned it and made it quite good. Rubbing alcohol powered, quite large.

Hmmm, its pretty cold out tonight
*glint of inspiration Rat hates so much in my eye*

I was looking after the 1 year old - he was playing with the pegs out on our balcony - stuffing them in his liddle mouth having a happy time, didnt look like I had to keep a constant eye on him so I went to get a drink inside the house. as I was puring my drink I was listening to his happy chirpy sounds - then came this 'crack!' followed by the sound of the baby yelling 'hoaaa hoaa hoaaaa' like he was crying with his mouth open - I rushed outside and saw something that made me want to not laugh very very badly - a peg had snapped open in his mouth and was holding his jaws apart.

Last time it snowed, we brought my friend's sisters tobogganing. On the way there and back, I had to drag them behind me on the toboggan. 1) they're heavy together 2) they were making every effort to wiegh me down. When we got back to their house, they promptly sat on me.

It's snowing now.
