Kids say the darnedest things [2], and sometimes parents do, too — especially where their children are concerned. There are some phrases you would never imagine saying — that is, until you have kids. Then it's appropriate to ask questions like, "Is her poo hard, soft, runny, or just right?" or "Why would you want to collect boogers?" because kids can get into all sorts of trouble and messes [3]. Although we laugh along to our children's silly antics, we also have to set some ground rules — like not licking the floor. Keep reading to see the things you never thought you'd say, and then let us know what your personal one-liners have been.
