It's been a while since I have had a Sami Says post on here, but it isn't because she hasn't given us plenty of content to laugh about. I remember my parents saying that my brain “detached” when I was a teenager because I said things that just made them shake their head. Apparently the apple does not fall far from the tree. Since going back to school though it seems these “moments” have happened more and more. Here are a few favorites from this week.
It's The End Of The World As We Know It….
Me: Have you ever spray painted anything before?
Sami: Yes – we did that box project thing.. what was that called?
Me: Diorama?
Sami: No, that sounds like the end of the world. Wait, no, that is “dilemma.”
Me: Yes, dear, the end of the world will be quite a “dilemma.”
A Buggy Situation
Sami: I have to read a book for school but it sounds stupid.
Me: Sadly most of them are. What book is it?
Sami: Lord of the Ants or something.
Me: Umm… You mean Lord of the Flies?
Sami: Yeah I knew it was some kind of bug lord.
Not So Focused…
Dad: I have some of the kids convinced that Werther's work like Adderal, they can focus better with a Werther's candy doing homework.
Sami: So its like a GAZEBO!!
Dad: A Gazebo?
Sami: Yeah, you know – when someone takes a pill that they think is going to help them get better, but really its just sugar.
Dad:…. Placebo?
Sami: … oh… right…. I was close.
Their brains do reconnect eventually… right?

Haha! These are hilarious! I love hearing funny things kids say! 🙂
Xenia @ Thanks, Mail Carrier says
HA! I already get a laugh out of things that my 5- and 7-year-old say, but now I’m actually looking forward to the “detached” things that they’ll come up with in their teenage years!
Whitney @ Momma Knows Best says
I was literally laughing with each conversation I read on this post! I remember saying some down right silly things as a teen, I can only imagine what my kids will say!
Liz Mays says
I’m completely cracking up! I love when kids do this sort of thing…heck, I love when adults do it too.
Melissa says
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this! Hilarious.
HilLesha says
I almost hate to know the things I’ve said as a teenager, haha!
Crystal says
Ha! I know I would have been saying the exact same things as a teenager. I did, however, love Lord of the Flies when I was younger.
Jennifer @ Mom Spotted says
Isn’t it awful? Mine comes out with everything. Half the time I’m lucky he talks to me period though lol
Marla Zickefoose says
Awesome! Sounds exactly like a conversation with my 13 year old! At least the still want to talk with us instead of just staying in their rooms right?
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
These made me smile. I was contemplating doing something similar for my 18 year old son but am not quite sure how he’d react.
Shell Feis says
Lord of the Ants is hilarious. These at great. I am pretty sure I still have a few of these type of moments from time to time.
Karen Coutu says
And i thought these things only happened to kids when they were little. Now I have future amusement to look forward to. 🙂
Mellisa says
Hahaha. That is funny, sounds like a conversation with my son.
Kimberly Grabinski says
hahaha HYSTERICAL. Gazebo LMAO.
Kathleen says
LOL Sometimes I wish I had had some girls. My 8 year old said to me, do French and Spanish people speak the same language? I said no. He said, well yeah, it sounds different to us, but when they speak it to themselves, it sounds like English. No idea if they reconnect, but I sure hope so.
Digna D. says
Cute! I’m still like this after 40, so maybe not. lol This always happens to me and my son is the one correcting me. My son has a Spanish class this year and came home today and asked me say the alphabet in Spanish. I had to pull it from the back of my brain, but I got it.
Shasta Walton says
Too funny!
Denine, from WeKnowStuff says
This is absolutely hilarious! It’s great to know that everyone gets a little spacey every once and a while, no matter how old!
