{Now Closed} The Funny Thing Is…Sweepstakes + $100 Carter’s Gift Card Giveaway

by

Kids say the funniest things! I’m always posting a “Deep Thoughts from Eli” to share with my Facebook friends. Eli is my youngest son and he says some of the most hilarious things like many kids do!

Carter’s (the clothing brand – not my family!) is celebrating the funny things that kids say and do by giving away 70 gift cards worth up to $1,000. Enter your email or share your funny story for a chance to win a Carter’s gift card in The Funny Thing Is….Sweepstakes. You have until September 13, 2010 to enter the sweepstakes.  View all the official rules.

Right now, you can also get 25% off all Halloween costumes online. They have some adorable affordable costumes available.  Sofia is wanting to be a witch for Halloween and I’m loving this costume:

We’ve always been fans of the Carter’s brand when the children were little. They would always say, hey that’s my name! I was able to go into a Carter’s outlet store recently and they had so many adorable things. However, I didn’t buy anything at the time because the little one was being whiney and crying for us to buy her everything so I didn’t want to encourage that type of behavior.

You will want to check out the Carter’s clearance section online too for some great end of season deals! I’m seeing $4.99 tops and $5.99 shorts!

Would you like to win a $100 Gift Card to use at the Carter’s or OshKosh B’gosh retail store? One lucky Bargain Briana reader will get to go a fall shopping spree with the gift card! Be sure to enter the The Funny Thing Is….Sweepstakes too!

  9. Andrew explained to the whole family yesterday he had an African wedgie – far more painful than a run of the mill wedgie! I was crying I was laughing so hard!

  10. Jake told his Nana she had “rooster arms”. As in the underside of her arms look like a rooster’s comb.

  26. The other day I had told her we couldn’t go somewhere she was wanting to go and she went to her room and came back and said “well here is how it’s gonna be” it so hard not to laugh at them lol

  33. On a day that my 4 year old was being particularly challenging, she didn’t want to cooperate with anything. About 10 minutes into dinner (where she only ate a few bites and pushed her food around) she said, “I’m full, I don’t want any more! What’s for dessert?” It wasn’t what she said so much as how close together it was.

  40. My daughter’s first joke…”Why did the chicken cross the road? To get away from the man who makes chicken nuggets!” lol Honest!!
    Great giveaway, thanks.

  41. The funniest thing my child has said happened last year – when she was just 3.

    While sitting at the table eating dinner (well while she was SUPPOSED to be eating dinner, but that’s another post), she knocked over her cup of milk. As my husband and I raced to clean it up before it got all over the clean clothes we had yet to put away (again, another post), DH was frustrated, but I was proud that he watched his mouth and remained calm.

    Well apparently my little one wanted to be sure it stayed that way because she gave her father some specific instructions on how to deal with the spill…..

    “Don’t say f*ck it, Dad. Don’t say f*ck it.”

    Now, for the record, that is a favorite foul word of my dear husband – but I really don’t ever recall him ever saying it around my sweet, sweet daughter…but apparently her ears are far better than my memory.

  42. I am due in March, so my precious little one hasn’t said anything yet, but he/she takes great pictures! :o)

  45. Oh my gosh when my daughter was about 2 years old, my mom had gone with me to pick out a new TV. We were on our way home and were talking about the TV and the great deal it was, and how big it was. My daughter, sweet as can be in the backseat, said “That’s a big f***ing TV!” That was when I realized that kids imitate everything and I had to start watching my mouth!

  49. It’s times like this that I need to remember something funny my little man has said to me and I just can’t. The one thing I can think of is that he thinks the dance on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is called HOT DOG RANCH, and when him and my fiance joke with each other that’s the first thing that comes out, ‘well you are a hot dog ranch’

  52. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder:
    My oldest son (3yrs old) said to me one morning “You’re so beautiful mama!” it melted my heart I thought “Awww, thank you baby!” Soon after my youngest son (2yrs old) walked up to me with his sandwich and says to me “It’s so beautiful mama!” (referring to his sandwich) hahaha, geee….thanks?!

  58. One summer I had two girl friends who were getting married and they are identical twins. I was in both of the weddings. My youngest son who was 3 and 1/2 at the time was very upset that his mom was going to be in a wedding and not with his dad. So I had to explain how it was not me getting married and just as we thought he was ok with it, he saw me walking up the isle (after the exchange of the vows) with another man and you hear on the wedding video, “Dad, are you going to let that man walk away with you’re wife?” Later he came up to me and I happened to be sitting next to “that man” and he told him, “You know she is my mom!” He was such a cute bodyguard. Then fast foreward two months too the second twins wedding. My son was ok with me being in the wedding this time, but he did not realize that it was the other sister getting married. He was sitting too close to the video man again because you heard him say very loudly, “Geeze how many times does this lady need to get married, was’nt the first guy good enough?” Then you hear a roar of laughter. We had the sisters come up to him later so he could see that it was two different people. He was freaked out by that and had sooooo many questions for the next few weeks.

  62. Lately, my little boy has been telling us that his stuffed animal monkey has been in timeout. We aren’t sure what the monkey has done, but it sure makes us laugh!

  66. On the first day of school this year my son kept blowing out his cheeks while in class and the teacher asked him why he was filling his cheeks up with air like that. He told her it was so he wouldn’t have to blow his nose,he said it keeps his nose from running.

  68. My 3 year old daughter coined the term “yester-mornin” when referring to something she has done recently.

  70. We’re expecting our first in Dec, so I don’t have any cute stories of my own. But one of my favorites from a friend was when she and her mother-in-law were washing dishes after dinner. Her youngest came in and asked “why does Grandma ____ have a big butt?” After pausing in panic to figure out what to say, my friend replied “God blesses us all in different ways”. To which Grandma replied “You can say that again!” :)

  73. My son says “betacking” instead of attacking, so when he’s playing with his action figures, he says they are betacking each other, it’s so cute.

  75. our two year old loves to say “bloon” (b/c she can’t yet pronounce “balloon” LOL i love it :) i’ve even started saying “bloon”!

  78. My 5-year-old was telling me about a dream she was having the other night and she said everyone had superpowers. I asked her what kind of superpowers and she said everyone could grow pumpkins – like for Halloween!

  79. Last night my daughter was looking up at the sky and said, “oh no, the moon is broken!” Guess she only likes the full moon :)

  81. My son has recently decided that he has to talk to everyone on the phone that I talk to and ask them “what u doing?” it cracks me up every time. Got to love 2 years olds and what they say

  86. Funny isn’t what Lil Bit said but what he did! He is 18 months old and, on his own, he has decided he’s ready to potty train. Over the weekend he was running around bare butt and bent over as if to try and turn a flip. Unfortunately he decided he needed to go potty at the same time. He ended up peeing straight into his little face. I couldn’t help but laugh. It was just too funny to see the expression on his face when he realized what had happened.

  87. One of the songs that I sing to me soon to be 3 year old son is “Goodnight Sweetheart”. Yesterday we were at his sisters soccer game and he was playing with his batman toy and he put him in the pocket on the back of the chair. He then came up to me and said “mama sing goodnigh sweehar…buhtman sweepin” or to translate “Mama sing Goodnight Sweetheart Batman is sleeping”

  90. My daughter woke up this morning, came out of her room and in a serious tone said, “I have to name one of my kids furball face because the name is so catchy”. She’s crazy!

  91. When my 4.5 year old drinks something sour she makes a sour puss face, one day my mother in law told her she was making a sour puss, while drinking some lemonaid. She Turned and said, “But Nana, I don’t want a platapuss in my mouth!”

  95. My daughter is not talking yet but she has a funny way of getting us do things her way babbling. The funny sound that she babbles sounds like the ambulance…I guess she figured that means hurry up!

  99. Well, my son has just turned two but he is a real talker and so funny!Just a couple days ago in the Library he was carrying around a Harry potter coloring book and when the librarian bent down and asked him what he had he said Harry Spider.It was so funny the way he said it that me and the librarian were both tickled over it.

  113. My 4 year old and I were shopping at a local craft store and she was so excited that she exclaimed that she wanted to buy everything in the store. After chuckling, I asked her where her money was and she replied that she had lost it. Knowing that she hadn’t but confidently replying, “Well, then I guess you can’t buy the whole store,” she quipped, “But you can loan me some money…”

    Caught off guard, I chuckled again. I told her that I didn’t think it would work to which she replied, “C’mon mommy, we’re close like sisters. I’ll pay you back…”

  117. My daughter is only two, but I love when she said out of the blue to me and my husband, ” I love you mom and dad you guys are awesome”, it was the cutest thing ever.
