What's your kids' current catchphrase?
Inexplicably, my 5 year old's is "Tarnation!!". :rofl:

I'm curious to know what the *normal* kids are saying these days... :D

1. Oh shazbot!
We watched the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror DVD the other night.

I think you'll have to find another family to represent the normal kids. ;)

8. The other day I was talking to my mom
and I said "je ne sais quoi" and she said "Xema, I'm worried that you're using that phrase in lieu of thinking of actual descriptive words" and I cracked up so now I say it all the time ironically.

Don't tell your kid this. ;-)

18. Once my mother asked me for a definition of that phrase....
because she had encountered it in a book. I replied (helpfully or so I thought) "I don't know what". She said that she was surprised that I didn't know, considering I had studied French in school.

:rofl:

5. "I've got too much stuff"
No, seriously.

I was teasing the 3.5 year old about her xmas present that I got and that was her response. :D

21. My mouth is so vile for a high-schooler's...
Really. :D :D It's not a specific catchphrase, really, just "swearing." I consider a good cuss at the wall a stress-relieving action.

13. LeftyKid just walked up to me and said
"We're gonna need a bigger boat."

The odd thing is, we haven't watched Jaws since summertime so I have no idea why he suddenly thought of that. It did remind me that I should get the DVD, though.

17. One of the triplet boys (and they also are 5) likes to say.....
"The first thing is.... And the OTHER first thing is.... And the final first thing is...." while making multiple points in a conversation.

:shrug:

20. SILENCE!
If I tell him to do something, I'll get 'SILENCE!'. I have NO idea where he got that from.. I dont use that word. I wonder if he learned it at pre-school.

:rofl:

Or.. thats ridculous!! He uses things in the correct context too. Scares me.

22. Phef and flip, used instead of the f word, and:
"What the SCHPORK?!"

Back story: My friend on the jazz band bus to school tried to say spork, and ended up saying scpork. I turned that into schpork. In the time of about one hour (Social studies class) my friend and I turned that into a religion.

Yeah.

25. "I'm calling Child Protective Services!"
Pfft. Just kidding.

He loves to say Schiesskopf--he thinks no one else in the world knows that he's cursing in German.

29. "Well, THAT'S random!"
this, from my 12 yr old 6th grader son....usually in response to whatever I've said.

my 9 yr old 3rd grader daughter likes to say her brother's name, with MUCH exasperation, because he frequently bugs her: i.e., "Jasperrrrrrrrr!!!!!"

30. OMG I'm so busy....So what's up?
:cry: She's in college and working 2 jobs. But I miss her so...

Enjoy "tarnation" along with all the other words (he/she- all the "normal" ;-) kids) will come up with through those sweet innocent years.
