Typical baby bird
Added 2019-12-14 00:55:30 +0000 UTCWe loved reading all your comments on your encounters with wildlife last week! Thank you so much for sharing with us, that was really fun and adorable. I can already tell it's going to be hard to pick winners. Good thing there are many prizes 😄
This week's "contest" is inspired by Josh's most recent comic:
Bonus page:
Hehehe. This one was directly inspired by Josh's 16-month-old niece that just started picking up swear words. How cute is that baby bird? Someone in the Facebook comments called it a "chonky bebbe" which I think is a hilarious descriptor, and I haven't stopped saying this for the last week (mostly in reference to one of our cats, who is pretty chonky herself).
Just like last week, if you want chances to win prizes in the giveaway, we'd like your participation in the comments: tell us a funny thing a small child or toddler in your life has said! Alternatively, if you're feeling punny, give this comic a fun title!
An additional mini-comic Josh just posted:

2019-12-22 17:46:54 +0000 UTCMy younger sister used to like to say variations on names of people she met. One time at a party he was repeating a family friend named billy buck and said “billy buck, ..., filly f*ck”. People could not stop laughing and she could not figure out why until many years later

2019-12-14 22:14:59 +0000 UTCI had a kid at work who was eight say to his friends "what if life is a dream and when you die you have a different dream?". That was an existential crisis I didn't need.

2019-12-14 01:41:49 +0000 UTCI used to volunteer taking care of kids at a kindergarten when I was 15, and there was this one kid whom always referred to himself in the third person which I thought was pretty funny. The first time I realised it was when we were playing with lego bricks and I came over and asked him "what are you building, Jason?" "Jason is building a gun. " Slightly taken aback, I thought there was another student named Jason for a second. "uh, you mean you're building a gun?" "Yes! Jason loves guns." Next moment the teacher came over and broke the lego gun because the kids weren't actually allowed to build things like that. But all in all that third person thing was pretty hilarious. I hope he grew out of it lol

2019-12-14 01:07:10 +0000 UTCWhen my daughter was younger we went into a greenhouse to frugally landscape our front yard. The birds basically deposit their leftover seeds that they decide we're beneath their fine pallettes, and I get weeds. My daughter was 5 and read the tag of one she said "what's a fricken violet?". African violet. To this day we still call them that. Also, apparently they learned this from me. I caught my guard off once and my son was asking me something, I didn't answer fast enough and he said to his sister "well, her ears must be f#&*ing broken."

2019-12-14 01:03:42 +0000 UTCWhen my brother was little, in the phase where kids are learning “the cow says moo” and “the pig says oink,” if you asked him what a duck says his response was always “duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck!” It was very cute, and because he was a stubborn toddler, no one could convince him that ducks said “quack,” no no, they say “duck duck duck...”
