Quotable Kids!

Yesterday, when I was cutting my plexiglass for my control panel, my 5 1/2 year old daugher asked my wife in a completely serious tone of voice:


"Mom, how much do you pay dad for working on the arcade?"


    

Boy, do I have the wool pulled over her eyes!

Anyone else have some good quotes???

The only thing I have close is from King of Kong. My wife and I were watching it for the first time last night.  When Steve Wiebe's wife mentions she thinks he has OCD my wife busts out laughing and says that is me when it comes to building my cabinet.  I did not think it was that funny... 

BTW - I got your Mala plugin configured on my test controller yesterday.  Thank you so much for creating that nice piece of code.  The U360's work so much better in 4-way (on the classics) it is not even funny.  I was going nuts trying to play DK and Pac Man in 8-way mode.

Not arcade related, but a couple years ago my buddy bought a new dirt bike. We pulled up in front of the house, unloaded it, and his 5 year old son game tearing out of the house and blurted out "Mommy says she's gonna get a new husband!"

My buddy knew his wife would give him a hard time if he asked, so he just went out and bought it. Anytime we're together an he buys anything, even if it costs 5 bucks, I use that quote.

this is not arcade related either but for christmas we bought our 2 year old daughter a tool box with some play tools. Yesterday the tools were in her bed. When we questioned her why her tools were in her bed, she blurts out

"I was screwing in my bed!!"

Now if she only knew what she was really saying...

I have a great one here...
When my son was about 3 y.o. we were up in North Pole, Alaska chatting with the real Santa Clause at Santa's village. Anyway, Santa asks my kid "What would you like for Christmas?"...and my kid blurts out "A BIG WOODY!"
Santa cheeks turn 8 shades of red while he trys to hold back the laughter.


Toy Story was huge back then and my son had  Buzz and Woody toys but they had recently come out with quite a bit "bigger" versions and of course that was what my son was referring to with Santa. Well at least I'm pretty sure that's what it was...heheh

My 3 year old nephew was playing with a toy Tow Truck... I asked him what he was doing.  This was his response:

"I'm playing with my hooker car"

Being a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan, my kids have grown up hearing the word "Buckeye". One day out of the blue, my son asks "Dad, what's a butt guy"?

It took me a long time before I realized what he was asking.

I like when my son tries to describe a game that he wants to play (but doesn't know the title).  It's usually a big puzzle trying to figure out what game he means.  The other day he wanted to play "that game where I poop you out".  Turns out the game was Super Smash Bros Melee (he always plays as Yoshi).

When speaking to our younger 5 y/o son about proper eating habits at the table, my 12 y/o daughter says....

If its to big to fit in your mouth, it dosen't belong there.

My wife raises her eyebrow and looks in my direction,

I just shake my head and smirk.

Oh.... I thought of another one

I was explaining what taxes were to my son who was counting out his money in preparation to buy some packs baseball cards....

After a couple of questions about what I had told him,

His response was "Dad why doesn't the government just get a job?"
