That's what our going on 5 year old son said. Except...and this is the funny part...he didn't mean that he wants us to have a baby. He wants us (and I'm telling this exactly how he said it to us) to buy a little girl elf from Santa! He said he doesn't want any more babies but wants a little girl his size to come live with us. That's what he meant by "little" sister...a little girl as opposed to the three big sisters he already has (they're 7, 12 and 15).
What funny things have your children asked for for Christmas, birthdays or other holidays?

Oh no, he has enough brothers...he's the middle brother of 5 boys! We're a blended family. The 2 1/2 year old was scared of the new baby when we first brough him home last year. He was not quite 19 months old at the time and was terrified of this tiny little thing that moved and cried. Wouldn't go near him for a whole week and then when he did if the baby touched him he'd run off crying.

LOL well don't get too excited, they aren't all here and they aren't all mine...but close...4 boys and 2 girls for me. Including everyone, the oldest is 17 1/2 and the youngest is 1 so it isn't as crazy as it sounds....but THANKS!

That's too funny. When my son lost his first tooth, we were talking about putting his tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy to come and bring him some money and take his tooth while he was sleeping. He looked thoughtful for a second and then said to me "Mom, I want the tooth fairy to bring me a wad of cash!" I laughed so hard. Kids are so funny.

Aww the tooth fairy visits! We haven't had one of them in a while. It certainly does make you wonder how they come up with things sometimes!

The funny thing is he has two little brothers here to play with all the time but wants a sister instead.

Oh those things are cute too! We have "hollipops" and "hoolaloops" and the 2 1/2 year old calls the baby "Icky" but not to be mean, the baby is Nicky but brother can't quite say it right yet!

Why did that sound like a premise to some semi-warped anime?! =P
Okay okay, once you are done laughing I'll make the rest of my post.

I think what he said was silly and in a way cute. Be sure not to forget it! And how does one buy a little girl elf from Santa anyways? I know the guy and he doesn't have any frequent-buyer elf programs (or well... that's what his lawyers say).
Fun discussion and thanks for sharing Foxy. Hope my reply got *at least!* a chuckle or snicker!

Definitely some snickers...would have been an all out laugh but the evil FIL is watching his precious WWE so we must all be super quiet...the slightest laugh might send him over the edge.

My daughter asked Santa to bring her big sister a new house so that she could hurry up and move out, that was four years ago and now that my oldest daughter is gone she is asking him to bring her back.

Aww that's so cute! It's funny how that sister relationship works sometimes! his same little boy was pretty upset when his oldest brother went out on a date not long ago. The little guy told the girlfriend "You can't take him! He's ours!"

I wish I understood it too. Basically she doesn't care for my parenting style and does everything in her power to go against me. Last night she went off about the pajamas I put my son in...regular top and bottoms rather than footies. He hates socks when he's sleeping (and doesn't really like footies either) so I let him be barefoot. Sure I know it gets chilly at night and he kicks his blankets off but as long as he's comfortable I don't see the problem. I have found clothes that I bought, with tags still on, packed away because she didn't like them. Same with toys and other things I'd get for them.

I want to at least get him one of those big elf doll/decoration type things but am worried that MIL will pack it away with the Christmas things and that would totally devastate him...and no, telling her not to would do no good, it's her house she'll do what she wants regardless of who things belong to.

Your little guy sounds adorable! I'm sure someday he'll appreciate having a little brother instead of a sister.

That was real cute.My son wanted something like this, he wanted to have an older brother.He had no clue about it.When questioned from where to get one he mentioned the shop we always go to.Since everything is available there he just thought he get himself an older brother to play with.

I love that sweet child innocence that thinks everything can be solved with a trip to the store! I remember wanting an older brother and when I found out it wasn't possible I convinced myself that I was adopted and had a brother out there some where...I guess you can tell I never was close to my sisters.

LOL I'm not sure how he could be lonely, he's the 6th child in a blended family of 8 total children...but it's still cute!

Whenever i ask my 18 month old son what he wants for christmas he says he wants santa for christmas.
Everytime he sees toy cars in shops he says he wants them and looks at me with a face he thinks i can't refuse.
But whenever i ask him what he wants he says he wants nothing or santa, which is quite funny.
Maybe we'll buy him a soft toy santa, lol.

I bet a little toy Santa will make him the happiest little boy! It's funny the little things they come up with like that.

Awwww, those are all so cute! The only funny one on our lists so far is the four year old's request for her own refrigerator. That kid always seems to be hungry and she wants her own so she doesn't have to always ask to get food and she'd only put food she likes in it, hehe.

OH my goodness! I thought my child would be the only one to make such an odd request! In addition to the sister/elf he also asked for his own refrigerator...filled with pizza.

Well, I am waiting for days of funny sayings and requests (my son is 16 months). The closest I get are things like yesterday. We had a bad day. Marcus was fussy all morning. I didn't feel so well and I had my husbands Christmas party to attend. When we were getting ready for him to go to grandma's for the evening he started clapping and saying, "gotta go, gotta go". He loves getting out of the house and doing things, even trips to the store make him happier (as long as we aren't shopping too long, he hates being stuck in the cart!)

Ohhh that's so sweet! My youngest is almost 13 months old so we'll be getting into that stage again soon. I just love it when sounds start to come together into little phrases like that. The most we've gotten is something resembling bye-bye and daddy strung together except the ba's and da's were all sort of mixed together but I think that was what he was trying to say.

Awe. That's so cute! My sons asked for a little sister too! We adopted our sons and this will be their second Christmas with us. We are trying hard to get them a little sister but, there is just no way we will be able to get one by Christmas.

Aww! Good luck with getting the little sister. Maybe by next Christmas you'll have one for them. It seems like the parents who REALLY want children have to jump through hoops to get them while so many people who shouldn't be parents only have to hop in bed for 2 minutes.
