Things I never want to hear my daughter say to a boy again:
"Can you guess what flavor my chapstick is?"
This was said to her little friend Dylan on our way to get lunch while he was visiting. It was completely innocent, but Daddy and I immediately turned around and said, "NO!!!"

SuperMom
I have superhero powers. Not that it should come as a shock to anyone; all mom's possess superhero powers. However, my child truly thinks I have powers now.
Last night I informed Alanna that she would have to practice her karate before bed. She asked me how I would make her practice if she fell asleep before then. I replied that I had superhero mommy powers and could wake her up.
A little while later Alanna was hiding under a blanket to avoid going up to practice. I pulled the blanket back and yelled, 'Ah ha!!'
She looked astonished, "Mommy, is one of your powers the ability to see under blankets??" I told her it was.
After practicing for karate and putting her to bed, we heard this little voice from her room, "Mommy, can you see through walls?"
Taking this as a perfect opportunity, I promptly replied, "Yes. But Mommy can only see through walls when you're doing something you're not supposed to!" That should get me a year or two of good behavior until she catches on.
