Feel free to leave something:
This morning, on the drive to daycare, the Pat Benetar song "Hit me with your best shot" was playing. My boy insisted she actually said "pet shop" instead of "best shot".
Occasionally, when we are outside, he will look up at the sky and start calling out to Arc Vader.

Children have the best misheard song lyrics. I used to think that "You can't always get what you want" was actually "you can't always kick a chihuahua." My daughter, whenever the Maroon 5 song Animals comes on, always says "He wants to be like an animal. That's silly!"

My wife and I were at the cabin with our nephew (3.5 y.o.). We were packing up and getting ready to go and I was waiting outside the outhouse for him to finish his business. When I heard the toilet flush I asked him if he was done and if I could come in. "Yes," he said, so I walked in and asked him if he washed his hands.
"No, I washed my wenis!"
"What?" I asked, momentarily confused.
"I washed my WENIS!" He dropped his pants and pointed so I would understand.
"Good job," I said, chuckling, "now let's wash your hands."

This was a sweet, final night-night exchange between myself and my 2-year-old daughter a few weeks ago:
Me: Okay, sweet girl, its’ time for sleep. I love you. See you in the morning.
her: Daddy?
Me: Yes, sweetheart?
her: We don’t eat boogers!
Me: *sigh*
her: … I set it on the ground.

Mine doesn't talk yet. I'm waiting for gems like these to present themselves.

My half-sister had a real gem when she was little (maybe 3 years old?). She announced to her mom, "I love you, Mommy, but I love Daddy more."

There's a song associated with Jake and the Neverland Pirates, called Hot Lava. For the longest time, the boy referred to it as Hobba Wabba.
He also referred to Harold the Hopicopter from Thomas the Train.

^^ I think this is an astute question. I mean, a guy needs to know whether he has a wife or not. That's serious business.

My then-eleven or twelve year old son once told me that he "isn't afraid of the po po."
I believe he'd wet himself if approached by mall security. :P

There's an apocryphal story in my family that's been applied to both me at age 4, and my cousin at age 4:
4-year-old: "Can I get a dog?"
Father: "No, not right now."
4-year-old: "Can I get a dog after you're dead?"
My other cousin, around age 5 at the time (he's now 20), upon being presented with a pair of hand-me down pants, once proclaimed that they were "very comfortable, and useful too."

Oh, if we're going to talk about things *WE'VE* said over the years, I have some real gems.
"Dear Mrs. xxx. Thank you for the money. I will use it to buy a new mother."
"Dear xxx. Thank you for the candy and socks. They were delicious."
"Why don't you just get out of my life!!!"
*** long pause... considering ***
"...except to feed me. And give me money!"

My Wife, in trying to get the younger one to eat his veggies told him "They help clean out the body"
Now whenever he eats a Vegetable he proudly and helpfully proclaims "I'm cleaning my Butt now!"

As I walked through the door, my two youngest flew past. All I heard was the little one screaming, 'NO THEY'RE MY PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS!' I still have no idea what was going on. He was bare ass naked at the time.

He wanted his pants back? (taken by to other sibling)

Neither did mine. I read them myself.
My boy's attempt to say New York city, came out suspiciously sounding like New Orc city. I suppose the gamer in me is rubbing off on him.
We are proud of our Orcish population.

In new York they say I'm Orcish, in Miami they say I'm Hobgoblin, and in LA they say I'm Tiefling.

My son, around 3, was walking around the house talking softly to himself. My friend asked what he was doing and he replied, "Don't bother me. I'm doing rapid calculations.".

If he starts building something, be afraid, be very afraid.

My 6-year-old daughter, after finishing the end of a book she read to me for homework:
"Well, that was anticlimactic."

I don't have kids, but I am a teenager, I do have my moments with my three year old cousin.
Mostly threats of duct taping her mouth shut.
I also have made it my duty to remove the batteries of any toy she gets so I can concentrate on my stuff. So I have a desk drawer full of batteries and broken toys she has given me. Im a terrible person, I know.
Snickersimba, that's awful... :(

Hehehee. I once bought a riding vehicle for my niece for Christmas. It had bells and whistles and all sorts of noisemakers. My brother heard her having rather noisy fun and said "You do know I work nights!" He waited til she started watching a program with her brother and took out the batteries. She found them and put them back in as soon as he went to bed.
