Reminds me of a swim meet last summer where one one my friend's kids said in a huge loud voice at one of the few quiet moments "I suck at breast". *snicker*

my 11 yr old has a great new weight loss idea - tiny little tapeworms in a capsule, that you can just swallow

It's not original - the idea has been around (possibly as an urban legend) for years. I have seen posters (possibly fake) dated from the early 1900s advertising weight-loss tape worm eggs.
Uggghhh.
I suppose you could also develop a giant hair-ball.

From the 9-year-old stepdaughter the other evening:

"Are you sure these pajamas are for girls?" (This sort of thing has always been a huge concern for her.)
"Of course. First off, it's a nightgown, and boys really don't wear nightgowns, and second, it's pink and covered in hearts and glitter."
"Then why does it have a boy's name on it?"
"What?"
"The tag says 'Steve' on it."
"Honey... that's 'St. Eve.'"

Late last night, my insomniac 2 1/2 yr old daughter comes strolling out of her bedroom holding her doll. She looks at her dad and I and while pointing to her doll, says.."Look! Look! Baby has a boo-boo!! Awwwwww...."

There was a panty liner (new) with the strip removed, stuck to her doll's arm like a giant bandaid.

She bandaged and re-bandaged and kissed that boo-boo for hours.

Tonight, I just cleaned up BBQ sauce (from one of those small plastic cartons you get at fast food places) that she had poured all over her doll and the couch...exclaiming..."look!! Baby boo-boo, is bleeding!"

Maybe she's going to grow up to be a doctor?

I was helping in class yesterday (grades1&2), and they were just finishing up Spanish when I walked in. Thor proudly rushed over to show me his work -three pictures of waether conditions with the appropriate terms in Spanish)then went off because he wanted to draw a picture on the back. Other kids came over to show me their work, I enthused as per my role, then the teacher called the class to the meeting space. Thor runs over excitedly to show me (and then her) his last picture:

it's gotta be the first word he's ever written legibly and spelled correctly!
