Have you ever laughed at words that come out of your own mouth when speaking to children or pets?

Asked by Blueroses (18261points) August 12th, 2011

I ran into a friend at the grocery store and we were chatting when, barely breaking stride in our conversation, she told her toddler “Quit licking the shelves.”

At first she didn’t understand why that made me laugh but then she started thinking of all the things she never thought she’d hear herself say.

Today I was outside and told my dog, very seriously, “Don’t eat bees.” Of course he cocked his head at me and then ate a bee.

So, what are your funniest kid/pet comments?

To my dog. Stop licking your vomit. Followed by, didn’t I tell you to stop liking your vomit? As if he was going to turn his head and nod yes.
When my daughter was 3 she had to take a pill that was really bitter. I had a habit of putting out my hand when she had to spit out her gum and didn’t know where to put it. It was just typical for her to grab my hand and spit out things she didn’t like. I would tell her thank you. I gave her the pill and thought she was going to spit out the pill. To my surprise it made her vomit. Further to my surprise I stood there as she vomited all over my hand and actually put my other hand out to catch the vomit and then followed it with a sarcastic thank you. Although it was discusting, I didn’t want to make her more upset than the vomitting already made her. My mom was there and could barely stop laughing. After that I was very cautious to put my hand out without thinking.

Please quit biting my nipple!

Said to my son when he was just a baby and I was breastfeeding him. I was in tears when I said it, but I can laugh now. ;)

I’ve begun to call my dog Angelcake Macallister!! Where the hell that suddenly sprang from i’ve no idea. She’s called Penny, so no correlation there then, maybe i’m just as mad as a box of frogs.

Oh, yes, especially if I hear myself echoing my mother’s words to me.

I have a disturbing number of nicknames for my cat, which I use at complete random. Just as she will squeeze her eyes at me from across the room or chirrup and brush against my leg in passing, I’ve somehow come up with little friendly vocalizations toward her as I go through a housebound day. It was with a certain amount of detached horror that I first heard myself murmuring “Poop poop poop” at her, as one example. Somehow I’ve managed to not do it when we’ve got visitors, but it’s just a matter of time. ack!

I once told my daughter to do something a bit too old for her capabilites. She stamped her little foot at me and said, “Daddy! I dus wuz widdle!” She was about three, I think.

I talk to my two dogs and cat now, since I don’t have any more children around to talk to. Mostly I talk to them as if they could understand what I say, an action usuallly rewarded with a cocked head and a perplexed look .. .kinda like “WTF?” LOL!

Yeah and I laughed a lot. But I don’t remember them to be that funny, I just remember I laughed over them.

“No. I don’t want you comin’ up here lickin’ on me right after you were chewin’ on your asshole.”

That was my husband just now to one of our dogs. Made me giggle and think of this Q.
