In Tweet Your Kids and Tweet Your Kids #2, I wrote “Ever think ‘I should write that down’ when your child says something funny?”

I use Twitter for that. Here’re some Tweet-worthy comments from my boys.

Seven-year-old Zachary

Zachary to Lucas: “We’ve got to be in bed by 7:30 or else Daddy’s going to get punished!”

Showing Zachary: M. Jackson’s Thriller for 1st time. Zach: “Why are all the monsters dancing?” Momma: “Because they all like the same music”

Mom: “Zachary, wear your windbreaker.” Zach: “How can a jacket break wind?”

“I know why they call it a pen pal. He’s your pal and when you write to him you usually use a pen.”

Easter at the Hages. Zach: “Wow. I can’t believe how good we’ve been!”

Reading “Curious George.” 7yo Zach: “Why do they call him ‘The man with the yellow hat? Why don’t they give him a name like Ralph?'”

Daddy: “Zachary, make a card for Momma.” Zach: “I already made a card and a Shrinky Dink!”

Wrote his name + a message in a new book: “Zachary Hage. No reward if returned.”

RT @CardiacScience The SCAA clock http://budurl.com/DeathSCA just turned 128,000 cardiac deaths YTD. Zach asked me, “Why does God do that?”

Zachary now old enuf to shower. Dad: “Put shampoo in your hair.” Zach: “What?! Put some poop in my hair?!”

“Why are all the signs in Spanish?” during a daytrip in Mexico.

Zachary thought it was “Our Father who Wharton heaven.”

Five-year-old Lucas

“Did you know? When girls have on lipstick, the lipstick gets on boys.”

At Father’s Day church: “How come I didn’t get one of those cookie things?”

“Momma, underpants and punderpants rhyme!”

Lukey’s afrd of ghosts 2nite. “Lukey, even if there are ghosts, they can’t touch you.” “Yes they can. There are people inside of them.”

Having trouble with a yo-yo: “Momma, this thing is being uncooperative on me!”

Lucas runs into the bathroom, “Mommy, make sure Daddy doesn’t eat my dinner.”

“The computer’s being really, really rude. It’s not letting me play my video game.”

How to teach a 5yo to blow up a balloon? 5yo Lukey: “I don’t have enough air in me.”

Lukey’s prayers tonight: “Thank you, God, for my most important brother. Thank you, God, for sunshine.”

Lukey to Mom: “I’m drawing a picture of Daddy with his penis on.” To me: “Look, Daddy, there’s your penis.”

Lukey slept without his “monkey light” last night. Dad: “Were you scared?” Lukey: “No. Just a little.”

…

I get a lot of comments from engaged followers. Give it a try.

P.S. You’ve heard a lot about cardiac arrest in light of Michael Jackson’s sudden death. You might not know 7,000 kids in America die from sudden cardiac arrest each year. I donated an AED defibrillator to protect my kids at school. Consider doing the same for yours. Email me for details at
