I have three wonderful children. My boys were (and still are) the angels. My daughter was (and still is) my "problem child", trouble with a capital "T". Of course, I love them all dearly.
A few weeks ago, I answered the phone to hear my daughter on the other end sounding upset. She said that she had just spent the last 20 minutes looking for her little foo-foo West Highland Terrier puppy, Rowdie. She looked everywhere, finally convinced that her three year-old son might have opened the door and let him run outside.
She searched the entire house, finally asking Shane if he had seen the puppy. He said yes, he had, and didn't say anything else. "Well, WHERE IS HE?" my daughter asked, to which Shane replied, "I put him in the 'frigerator."
Angela ran over to jerk open the refrigerator, and there sat Rowdie, shivering in the cold. She was furious with Shane, but glad to have the dog safe and sound.
When she called to tell me all this, I burst out laughing and could not stop. She was all offended that I was laughing, but I just could not help thinking, "Oh, YES! What goes around, comes around!" :roflmao:
A week after this incident, Shane came down for a visit, and I asked him about what had happened. "Why did you put Rowdie in the refrigerator??" Shane's reply: "He was in time-out. He was biting me!"
He is his mother's child!

One time my aunt had misplaced her cordless phone. Looked everywhere, couldn't find it. Finally used the ring function on the base, heard the ringing on the phone and tracked it it...the freezer. Worked fine.

I hate to think of all the places my poor cordless has been! Thank goodness for that "page" button the the phone!
Oh, yeah....my daughter HATES to cook...she and Shane eat out at Subway all the time and rarely have many groceries in the refrigerator. This is a sad fact that will no doubt change when her husband returns from Iraq on July 12th, after being gone for 15 months...I am sure he will be wanting some home-cooked meals! Anyway, this is why there was room for Rowdie in there!

I remember reading a story about a dog that was injured from a car, and the officer at the scene thought the humane thing to do was to shoot it in the head, then the body was wrap and ended up in the freezer at the pound. When it was time to dispose the dog he was standing up wrap in plastic still alive. So the vet did everything he can to fix up the dog since seeing that he was hell bent on staying alive.

Three year-olds are such fun! Shane stayed with me for two weeks recently. One day out of the blue he mentioned to me and Eric (my 16 year old son) that he had a girlfriend named Rhia. Eric asked Shane "Is Rhia hot?" Shane thought about it a minute, looked at Eric with a serious look on his face and replied, "No, her's cold."

My buddy lost his chocolate lab pup and we spent hours trying to find him. All over the neighborhood we looked for quite some time. Quite awhile later we gave up and he was pretty disgusted. Well someone went into the pantry and noticed the puppy chow bag tipped over. Looked inside and there he was, sound asleep and obviously had more than his fair share of food. He got into the bag and someone walking by the pantry must have shut the door and didn't realize he was in there. Puppies are always getting into places they shouldn't be.

I hope you realise that a dog can quickly suffocate in a 'frigerator. Unfortunately this happen to a dog of a friend of mine when I was about 6 or 7. He was playing hide and go seek and put the dog in the fridge because it kept barking and giving away his hiding spot. It might sound amusing, but it's quite disturbing when you think that if he hadn't have been asked about it, the dog would have suffered a terrible death.

Well, of course I realize that. And of course, if it had ended tragically, I would not have been posting it in the jokes section of Bikeforums.
My daughter sat Shane down and had a long talk with him about the danger of what he had done, explaining it in terms that Shane could understand. I also reinforced this when he was visiting me and we talked about it.
Thank you, dear, for pointing out that this could have been a tragic situation. Now, chill (but stay out of the 'frigerator). :p

I kept Shane all last week and took him to a new babysitter who also kept a darling baby named Michael. Shane told Michael's mom that Michael was a cool baby, how much did she want for him. He didn't seem to understand that Michael's mom didn't want to sell her baby!
We had some drama Friday nite. My 16 year-old, Eric, was having girl problems at the basketball game. Shane and I picked him up (he was sitting in his car having a huge argument with his girlfriend) and took him for a drive to cool him off. As we drove down the highway, Eric was ranting to me about how Lauren was always doing things to piss him off, making his life miserable, driving him crazy, etc., etc. Then we hear this little voice pipe up from the back seat: "Yeah, Lauren is always pissing me off, too! She is making my life miserable! She is freaking me out! She is driving me crazy!" and on and on and on until Eric was laughing so hard he couldn't catch his breath. I finally had to say "SHANE! That's enough, we get the picture!" to which Shane replied "Don't worry about it,Gwamma, I am trying to make Uncle Eric laugh!"
Man, do I love that kid!

I have a soon-to-be three year old (Sept 27th) and she's a shall we say "high needs" child. AKA little holy terror!! But she is adorable. We are finally getting potty trained, and so we make a big deal of using the potty, and wearing big girl panties. Well, Saturday we go buy new big girl panties. She is very excited. Sunday, everybody she meets in the halls at church...lifts her little dress and announces...new panties!! Let's hope she out grows that practice soon! Hmmm...my little Bekah has in the past put the kitty in the dryer and shut the door (this in an attempt to dry the kitty after pushing her into a bath tub full of water intended for Bekah's evening bath). Good thing she couldn't figure out how to turn the dryer on! What else...locked said kitty in mommy's closet for three hours to which the kitty showed her pleasure by peeing all over my sweater which she clawed from the hanger. That was nice. Ah...the joys of raising children. I'm glad I'm not the only one!!!!

I am a bad Grandma. About a month ago, Shane was visiting me and he wanted to go to McDonalds. I told him that we couldn't.
Shane: Why??
Grandma: Cause McDonalds sucks!
Shane: McDonald's sucks?
Grandma: Yep, sorry. We can't go to McDonald's anymore, 'cause McDonalds sucks.
Well, he goes home to his Mom's and she is going to take him to McDonalds one nite, and he tells her, "Sorry, we can't go, Mommy. McDonald's sucks!"
She called me up and laughed and said "Thanks a lot, Mom!"
Last week, the phone rings, and I answer the phone.
Shane: Grandma, McDonalds don't suck!
Obviously, someone wanted some McNuggets and fries!

Last Saturday, my daughter and grandson and I went to the mall to do some Christmas shopping. There were some teenagers singing gospel music on a stage in the middle of the mall, and Shane and I settled down to watch them sing while Angela shopped in a nearby store.
In the middle of a song, Shane decided that he wanted to sing, too. I hear this tiny little voice break out in song..."You's a hoooooo, you's a hoooooo, I said that you's a hoooooo!" (Leave it to good ole Ludacris to poison a 4 year-old's mind.)
Needless to say, I clapped my hand over Shane's mouth, looked around to see if anyone had heard (there were a couple of teenaged boys who were almost rolling on the ground laughing, so I guess someone DID!), and made a mental note to ask my daughter to PLEASE watch the music she listens to when Shane is around! SHEESH!

This happened on a trip coming back to my house last weekend.
Shane was in the back seat coming home from Shreveport and took his shirt off for some reason. I glanced back at him said "Put your shirt back on, boy!" to which he replied "Why, 'cause I might blind the neighborhood?"

Shane is 5 years old now, and he is still coming up with some pretty funny (and SWEET) stuff. He stayed with me all last week and one day went with me to the hair salon and waited while I had my hair cut. When the stylist was through, I stood up, looked at Shane to see if he was ready to go, and he gave me a thumb's up sign and said "PERFECT!" Sweet!
Another day, he had been watching Ed, Edd, and Eddie on the cartoon network off and on all afternoon. I came through the living room and flipped the TV off, and he let out a wail: "Noooooo, Grandma! I wanna watch Ed, Edd, and Eddie! It's the only thing that keeps me going!"
At this point, I thought, "Where does he get all this stuff??"
And he still remembers an earlier lesson I taught him! I asked him if he wanted to stop somewhere and get something to eat when it looked like we would not be home for a while and it was past lunchtime. He replied, "Yeah, anywhere but McDonald's, 'cause McDonald's sucks."

To go along with the first post you made. Now I don't remember this (I was too young) but my father has told me about it several times. I guess when I was about 4-5 (not sure the age), my parents noticed the cat appeared to be missing, they couldn't find it anywhere. Shortly later they were near the freezer when they heard a faint "Meow meow." Yeah, turns out I had decided that the cat needed to go in the freezer. I'm not sure why I did it... either my parents do not know as well, or they never told me.

Shane had strep throat last weekend. Angela took him to the doctor Monday and the doc seemed to think he just had the sniffles and did not do a culture of his throat.
Shane told the doc that he was "galucinating" cause he kept hearing cartoon network songs in his ears. Upon hearing this, the doc said "Hmmmm, hallucinations! Let's do a culture on his throat" and found he had strep. On the way home, Shane told his mama "I TOLD you I was having sound effects in my ears, Mom! Now do you believe me??"
She got to keep him home with her till today. And she didn't even yank herself bald-headed!
