She was flapping her arms in the air while laying in bed: "Does this get air on you?" I said, "It's time to be quiet and still. We will try your experiment in the morning?" She said, "But does it get air on you?" I said, "We'll talk about it in the morning. I'll remind you if you forget." She said, "Do not repeat yourself! It's nagging. You can't nag me."
Also, from that after noon:
We got some packages yesterday - I was waiting for books and glue (to make slime), and it turns out some parts for the playhouse we are building her. So, she asks to open the small one, which I thought was the glue, and as she gets it fully open, I realize it's the thermostat for the playhouse. So, I apologize and say that the package was actually for daddy for her playhouse. She says, "Mommy, why did you lie?" So, of course, I had to try to explain to a three year old the difference between lying and that.
Finally, dealing with those same packages, it turns out I had gotten tiny bottles of glue instead of the regular ones. So, we spent about 10 minutes where our conversation went something like this:
I opened one of our packages and said "oh no".
"Why did you say 'oh no'?" "Because they sent me the wrong size bottles of glue?" "Why do you think they sent you the wrong size bottles of glue?" "I don't know. I'm sure it was a mistake." "But why do you think they sent you the wrong size bottles of glue?" "I don't know." (I paused to look at the packing slip, which had written down the size bottles that were in the package.) "I probably ordered the wrong size." "Why did you order the wrong size bottles?" "I don't know. I probably just made a mistake." "But why do you think they sent you the wrong size bottles?" "I suspect that I made a mistake and told them to send me the wrong size bottle." "But why did you do that?" "I probably clicked on the wrong button on the computer when I was ordering them." "But why do you think they sent you the wrong size bottles?"
And so on....
Eventually, she decided that she wouldn't play with the wrong size bottles of glue until I took the labels off (front and back) all three tiny bottles of glue, so that she would think they were the right size.
This is NOT funny but a valuable lesson in really watching our mouths these days. A few days ago, my husband was carrying my son after pulling him out of the car seat and they were going to get the mail together at the curb. As they exited the garage, a big drip of water rolled off the roof and hit my husband. It scared the crap out of him and he yelled "Dammit!" This morning, we were helping my son get his shoes on for daycare and he couldn't get the one foot in. he was getting frustrated and tried to jam his foot in really hard and yelled "Dammit!" I didn't know about the incident the day before and I was like "OMG, what did he just say?" and my husband said "Exactly what you think so don't make a big deal about it and I'll explain it later." Once again, lesson learned about watching my language.

My DH taught DS the "how do you scare a bee?" game (the answer involves pinching the other persons boobie an yelling boobie. So needless to say DS does this to everyone. He will run around pinching (your boobies) yelling boobie!!
DH, DS, and I were at a restaurant and I ordered pizza. DS was staring at my food and DH thought DS wanted some. The pizza had a large dough rise in one area, so DH asked him what he was looking at and DS said so seriously "I'm looking at that bump on Mommy's pizza." :-)
I think everything DS says is funny, but one thing others might think is funny is every time he falls down and he's not hurt (which is a lot; this kid is clumsy) he says "Ok!" as in "I'm ok!".
Re: Funny things your kid says!
Love it! We are guilty of letting DS watch tv too.
Ooooohhh, is a current favorite of mine. When he likes something we hear a lot of "ooooohhhhs" in the cutest voice.
Last night at bedtime:

TiffanyBerry, your child sounds much like mine. Same conversations.
This morning, DH was getting DD breakfast. It sounded like this:
Do you want cereal?
NO!
Do you want yogurt?
NO!
Do you want berries!
NOOOO! STOP USING FOUL WORDS!!!
She had macaroni and cheese.

My DS is sitting on the potty, going #2. After one poop, he's still sitting, obviously not done yet.
After a moment of sitting still, he yells "Here comes a nudda one!"
