I will begin by inviting you to read my other Kid Funnies blog entries.  But for Flashback Friday I have some from my childhood and early early in my son's childhood.

My middle brother (I am the oldest and only girl) -

1. On vacation one year when we were in a sit-down restaurant for dinner where the food didn't arrive 2 minutes after we ordered - "They must have a slow cooker".  From there we got "fast cooker" and used these terms often as a family.
2. Trying to describe a memory without enough words and  told us it happened on "that great big long day".  None of us ever knew what he was referring to, but again, it became part of our family vernacular.

My youngest brother -

One Mother's Day we (my Dad) bought my mother a pair of tennis shoes from all the kids.  My youngest brother was maybe 3 or 4, not a good age for keeping secrets.  Even though my Dad wrapped it in the shoe box so it was obvious what it was, Mom asked in that Mom voice "I wonder what it could be" as she opened it.  Youngest bro answered, "It might be shoes..." but at the stern look from me and middle bro, quickly added, "...or it might be a candy bar."  Now, whenever there is a shoe box shaped present we joke that "it might be a candy bar."

Of course, since I am the oldest and it was really us kids who kept these funnies alive, there are none for me....so sad.

Now, here is one I remember periodically from my son just after he had learned some letters and gotten the idea that when you put letters together they make words.  We are fortunate to have two wonderful Christian music radio stations in our city.  One of them has the call letters in their tag line, "WJIE, Where Jesus is Exalted".  One day in the car after hearing this, S said "WJIE...that spells music".  The reason this was so funny to me is that I didn't even realize he knew that letters formed words....up to this point we had just played alphabet games.  He was probably around 3.
