LOL!!! That´s really good! ^__^ Thank you for sharing.

Now, for three stories. ^.~

Well, we had a house-fire back in 1998 and had to have about a quarter of the house completely rebuilt... no, it was a third of the house, cos of water and smoke damage and having to tear some down to rebuild it. Anyway, my nephew decided that he wanted to move into our house after it was rebuilt (hey, it looked kewl!) and he claimed my door by writing his name, in permanant black marker, on the door. We never got it off, though we scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed with all sorts of different cleaners and just managed to smear one of the letters a little bit, until I realized mom had an unopened package of Mr. Clean Magic Erasors and attacked it.

Dunno if that was humourous, or not, but my sister´s (his mother) reaction was good. For some reason, no one told her until about a year ago when she SAW it. And she was so shocked, she thought he´d just done it, and I was like "Nooooo, he did that back before I moved my stuff in!".

Oooh! There was one time, actually, that was funny.. it was with my nephew´s older brother... when he was going through potty training, his parents were staying with us cos our house is pretty big and they couldn´t afford one until they got back on top of their bills. Anyway, since he was working on being potty trained, I decided to help him once, and since we live on a farm, we can just go potty outside without worrying about neighbours too much. Anyway, I took him out back and we were just playing together, and he had to go, so I was like, "Well, don´t go in your pants, just go here, it´s ok to do that here." (I was like... what... 12, prolly? So he was 3 or 4, I think... he´d actually technically already been potty trained, but when they moved in with us, and he had to run all the way downstairs cos our upstairs bathrooms weren´t hooked up yet, it kinna set his potty training back quite a bit... our basement was scary o.o..) anyway, I bent over and was pointing to a specific spot on the ground to challenge him to hit it and, well, he couldn´t wait so... he let it rip while I was bending over and peed in my hair!
I actually ran into the house and I jumped in the shower... he just laughed and laughed.

At the time, I thought it was the most horrible thing in the world to happen to me... now, 12 years later, I think it´s actually pretty darn funny.

Also, since they lived with us for a few years, I got to go through puberty with, essentially, a little brother... so, when I started having to wear pads, but was still playing with toys, my room was a place of fascination to him. He used to always sneak in (picking locks, even) and steal my toys.. well, when I started buying feminine products and told him to stay OUT of those drawers, what did he do? The thing any self-respectin´ 6 yr old would do! Get into the forbidden treasure! The result: He walked around holding pads to his head calling them bandages and *I* got a HUGE lecture, every time, from his parents for "leaving them out where he can get them." (In a drawer in a locked room was "out where he can get them.", apparantly.)

THAT was SO mortifying. I mean, puberty is bad enough WITHOUT a nephew that can pick locks and get you in trouble cos his parents believe that if he GOT them, they must´ve been left in the open. (They knew he picked locks, and when I´d throw a fit about it, they´d just be like "Well, what do you want me to do?? We´ve GIVEN you new locks, we´ve told him NOT to do it, and spanked him when he did! AND we gave you places you could hide your key! WHAT do you want us to do??!". So helpful, let me tell you.)

Heh, the first one is 12 now.. the second one I mention is... going to be 16 this winter. (They´re brothers, and the only two of my nephews that live very close to us.)

the only funny kid stories were of me when i was a kid razz

LOL!! Oh no! So you KNOW the mortification! *Laughs* I should make sure to tell my Nephew´s girlfriends if he ever brings them over. ^.~
(Ok, so I don´t really want to mortify HIM... though it´d be a fitting revenge.. I just... don´t want to make HIS teenage life worse... he actually has trouble getting girls to be interested.. poor kid. He´s cute, but needs to lose some weight. {He´s not HUGE, he just... a little more than stocky and apparantly girls his age care about that. o.o})

Tyler's only 7 weeks old, so I only have one funny story. Sometimes, when he's crying just because (this would be after feeding, changing, rocking, cuddling, etc.) he stops for a while, if you look him in the eye and say something. So, this one time I sit him up, look him in the eye, and say, "Young man, this crying is unaccepta..." That was supposed to be "unacceptable" but halfway through, he projectile spits-up onto my face. And this wasn't just a little bit. It was like the girl from the Exorcist. Rodney, my fiance, thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. I was far from pleased...but now I think it's pretty funny.

My story will be a repeat from our old guild thread but I think it is worth sharing again.....
When my little Brendan finally figured out that there was something under his diaper, he was constantly wanting to mess with it so when I went to change him, he would flip over and crawl away so that I couldn't put his diaper back on right away. One day I was changing him on the livingroom floor when he crawled just out of reach, sat down and started pulling at it. Alexis, who had seen him do this on several occasions, looked over as I said "Brendan Michael, what are you doing that for?" Brendan looked up and babbled a string of sounds back at me to which his sister replied, without missing a beat, "He says, this thing is so fun to play with, I'm gonna play with it for the rest of my life!" I about LOST it, I was laughing so hard I was crying. She has no idea how right she was!

I'm going to share a funny story about my little brother when he was a little kid..

I think he was about... 5 or 6 at the time and my family and I had decided to go to Tennesse for vacation. Well we had my grandmother, and her sister, my mom, my dad, my brother and myself all decided to go to Rock City, which is a beautiful park.. well on one of the paths there was a narrow path surrounded by like a small cave of rock.. and my grandmother was freaking out because she didn't know if she'd be able to fit... well my little brother at the time ran ahead of us and another man was who was bigger than my grandmother was making his way through that little tunnel.. and my brother blurts out..

"Granny!! Look at that guy, see he's fatter than you and he made it through okay!"

We were all laughing so hard.

Kids are the best entertainment, honestly.... lol
Theo's discovered a wonderful tool only recently - blame the dog.
I was on the phone and he came in to ask me for some juice. I told him I would get it in a minute when I'd finished talking. He pouted and went out and I heard these noises and the "Uh-oh". I hang up and go in to find the fridge wide open, a cup on the floor overflowing juice everywhere and Theo in the process of letting the puppy in.
He looks at me, the juice , at me again and says in his best cranky voice "HENDRIX (the dog)!! NAUGHTY!!!!".
The poor dog- He thought he was being let in and it was all a setup.
