• Babble Talk – The Color Blind Kid

  I'm not one of the people who thinks that racism is over now that Barack Obama is President. (Call me when Black people can hail a cab in Manhattan.) That said, I do think that it's fair to hope that future generations will be less inclined to judge others by the color of their skin. This quote from Kids Say The Cutest Things illustrates this point: Read More...

• Babble Talk: Kids Say the Most Violent Things

  When teaching our children the difference between bad and good, sometimes we have to be careful that they don't push things a little too far. You know, take matters into their own hands and turn into baby vigilantes. Which brings me to the quote of the day from Kids Say the Cutest Things, the Babble feature that literally borrows online content from the mouths of babes. Young Declan asks his mom, "Mommy, are burglars mean? Are they bad?" And she responds: "Yes, they are bad, because they steal things from people." So Declan asks... Read More...

• Babble Talk: Keep That Kid Away From The Police

  In general when our kids say something inappropriate, they don't mean to. That is, they just mix up a word or two. Of course, there are mix ups and there are mix ups. Like this one: Read More...

• Babble Talk: Dude Looks Like a Puppy

  There's a routine by a comedian whose name I can't recall that I always liked. In it, the comic talks about his son and how little kids are honest to a fault. The boy walks up to heavyset woman wearing a Guess? shirt and says, "I don't know. 280? 285?" And so on. I was reminded of that routine by today's edition of Kids Say The Cutest Things: Read More...

• Babble Talk: Points For Honesty

  One of the first posts I wrote on Babble was about certain words that toddler's should never, ever say in polite company. One of them was the phrase "fork and spoon." In case you've forgotten, here's why: (Fork - r = Fok) + (In - n = n) + Spoon = Fokkin' Spoon Over at 'Kids Say The Cutest Things', this kid, I think, wins the prize. Not only does he/she say a four-letter word, he/she seems to know that he/she is saying a four-letter word. Please forgive my language... well, it's not my language, it's theirs: Read More...

• Babble Talk: Did Mommy Get New Boobies?

  Ah, kids. Yours, other people's, they come up with some doozies. Sometimes it's a word out of context, or making use of their name in a creative way. And other times, they speak a phrase that can be bursting with meaning: Read More...

• Babble Talk: When Even Your Kid Has That Grinchy Spirit

  Bluntness. Kids can get away with it in a way that we adults -- with our political correctness, sense of etiquette and general awareness of what it means to be nice -- cannot. That explains why four-year-old Griffin, recently quoted in Babble's Kids Say the Cutest Things! feature, is able to cut right to the heart of the matter when it comes to people who get too sentimental during the holiday season. "Why was your friend crying during the Christmas show?" Griffin's mom asked him. Griffin's response? Read More...

• Kids Say the Cutest Things: Monday Quote of the Day

  Little kids are obsessed with telephones. From a very young age, they are fascinated by them, beg to hold them and carry them all around the house, yet steadfastly refuse to actually speak into them when Grandma calls and wants to chat.  The phone fixation is the subject of my pick for today's Kid Quote of the Day, as generated by Babble's super-cool "Kids Say the Cutest Thing" feature.  The quote comes from three-year-old Rafael, who asks his mother: Read More...
