This months contest is funny or cute stories about children. Kids say and do the some very funny things. Most of the time they have no clue the things they say or do are even funny, which makes it even more precious to us. When I was a kid, they had a show on I used to watch with my mom called “Kids say the darndest things.” Watch the video below I found on youtube that is from this. These kids are probably grandparents now.
Later on Bill Cosby did a remake of this show in the 80's. This kid is probably a parent now. Watch this:
Do your kids say some funny things like the kids in this video? Even if they are grown, you probably have stories from when they were children that you still tell on them. Well this contest is the place to share all those cute stories of your children.
Check out below the prizes for this months contest then scroll down to the bottom and fill out the entry form and enter your story or stories. We will accept up to 2 stories per person.

I've crocheted for over 43 years, meaning I started crocheting before I was old enough to read.
I'm active in many crafts and my shop will reflect that.
I've enjoyed making items almost my whole life. My mind and hands are always busy thinking of and making new items. This is something that comes from my heart and I'm pleased to share them with you. Feel free to contact me, if you have any comments or questions. Thanks for dropping by, please mark me as a "favorite" so you can view my items as I add them.
I've lived in many places, including Pine Bluff AR, Memphis and Jackson TN, Clarksdale MS, Oklahoma City, Crestview FL, Warner Robins GA and now Conway AR. My crocheting has followed me everywhere and through having 4 children. Now I have a chance to share with you.

1st Entry-Prayer
I have a little girl named Emma Grace who just turned 5 years old. last summer when I was tucking her in, I asked her if she has anything special she'd like to pray about. She said " Dear Jesus, I pray that you keep the TV safe, and I pray for no commercials". I will NEVER forget her saying that. It was hysterical. Angie Neal Jax, FL

2nd Entry-Alabama Time
We live in Alabama on the Alabama/Georgia line. We go by Georgia/EST time though. The kids got new alarm clocks for Christmas. My youngest son is 7 and has a time with his alarm clock. My alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. right after I would hit snooze I would hear his clock go off and he lets it beeeeeep till it stops. He doesn't have to get up till 7a. I told him yesterday that he needed to fix his clock because it was going off way too early. He said well, I have it set to Alabama time. I said, we don't go by Alabama time. I let it go. Later I reminded him that he needed to fix the time on his clock so it would not be going off so early, again he tells me he has it set to Alabama time. This time I was like.clocks don't give you the option to set your clocks to Alabama time so I told him to bring me his clock. He had his clock set an hour ahead and his alarm an hour behind and the reason he thought it was Alabama time was because when you press the button to set the alarm, it has an AL at the bottom, lol.. He thought that meant Alabama time..tooo funny!! He also thinks the 5-7 years on the bottom of his socks means they will last him 5-7 years, lol.

4th Entry-Don't you know Mom?
My Son Brian, who is now 35 was up in his room "cleaning." I had gone up to the room many times to see the progress of the clean-up-job. Each time I went to the room I would see that nothing had been done. This last time however I went to see that the door had been closed.
I thought he must have decided to take a nap for all of the "thinking" about cleaning he was doing. So I opened the door very slowly. Out of the corner I saw something go past my face. Then it registered that it was GI Joe holding onto something as he was sliding down the string across my vision. I believed that I must have released him from his station on the other side of the door where he was stationed to go for his ride. I followed the string to across the room and it looked like it was set to go through the this makeshift house. As I watched GI Joe hang-glide past my face through the door of the house and crash at the back of the house I now realized it was part of "the plan" and Lord knows how long this child was perched behind this door waiting for me to come and release GI Joe for his trip across the room. As I stood there trying to register what really happened, my eye's began to scan for the child that thought about all of this. Where was he?
He was on the floor looking into the house from a trap door on the side to see GI Joe do his crashing at the back of the house, of course. At this point we were now looking eye to eye. I wondered what he could say to my as to why he hadn't cleaned his room. But Brian said with the perkiest voice he could drum up... "Don't you know Mom, I'm an inventor!" As I nodded my head yes, saying nothing, I closed the door, went down stairs to his Step-Father and said three words. He's all yours! Deborah White Peoria, Illinois

5th Entry-Spit It Out
Boy did one of my children have a story to tell. When my oldest was 4 yrs old. She came downstairs to tell a story. She is like me... A long story is very long, and a short story is too long.

I said, "Renae spit it out"
She spit it out alright. All you heard was pfft pfft thfft. She was trying to spit.

6th Entry-Sparkling Diamonds
Almost everyone can appreciate the beauty of a full moon. I live on the coast of Florida and one night when my sister was visiting with her family, we went out onto the deck to enjoy the ocean. The night sky was completely lit up by the full moon. I asked my 4 year old nephew what he saw. The pint-sized poet answered, "It looks like sparkling diamonds dancing happily on the water!" My sister and I just smiled at each other as she repeated, "Happily!" Roxanne Pennington Jupiter,FL

7th Entry-Good Old Days
Harris is 5 years old and LOVES baseball. He had watched his older brother play for years and last year he was finally old enough to play t-ball. The Kansas winter was long and Harris could hardly wait for baseball season to roll around again. As Springtime came, Harris was counting down the days until he could play ball again. As his Dad drove him to the first practice, Harris said, "You know Dad- these are the good old days!" Roxanne Pennington Jupiter, FL
