Our just turned 3-year old daughter is basically potty trained now, but she needs help when she goes #2.

 

I was helping her the other day when she got a little "gassy" on the pot.  I said "That was a "GOOD ONE" Hannah".

 

Her reply was....  "I can FART just like you dad....".   LMAO

 

I guess I need show a little more self control...  (still LMAO!!)

The thing I like best about kids is their blatant honesty.

Ok, well, this is the most tame one I have...:devil:

 

Well, One of the more popular movies around when I was little was BeetleJuice. So my family and I would watch it alot when I was little. There's this one particular scene where the Deceased couple first meet beetlejuice, in the guy's model.

 

Well, after they get mad at him and leave him alone in the model, he throws a fit. And my favorite part of the movie was when he kicked down a fake tree and yelled "Nice F**king model!"

 

So, We were in a restaraunt one day in Hatteras, NC visiting with family members I had never met before (keep in mind, I'm 3 or 4 years old). Well, the waitress comes over to take our order and i yell "Nice F**king model!". I don't remember doing it but mom tells me these days that everbody laughed so hard.

That's funny but so true. You never know what they will copy. It seems that they pick up on your worst traits, not your best ones. ???

I don't know if I should tell you this, but as a teacher, I hear some good ones from kids,,,,,,,coming from HOME.  There are no secrets, guys!!!!    This is especially true with the elementary school kids.   Bob

    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

    • I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem? 
    • I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
