Quite often my kids throw out a comment which leaves me laughing for a long time and struggling to regain my breath. Unfortunately, as the years go by, I forget some of these classic lines so I have decided to capture these moments here, at the McClane Train for all eternity. As I remember funny moments from the girls from years gone by, I will do my best to recall them here.
I hope you have as much a laugh at these as I have over the years.

Michaela – The night before her 5th birthday
Me: “You’ll be a big girl tomorrow morning”
Michaela woke up the next morning, crying her eyes out.
Me: “What’s wrong sweetie?”
Michaela: “I’m not a big girl now, I’m still small!” (because she hadn’t turned into a woman overnight”)

Lara – Age 4
Whenever Lara asks for something like a present I always say “one day” and have done so for years and Lara has always been satisfied with this answer.
Lara: “Can I have this (toy) please”
Me: “One day”
Lara: “Dad, when will one day be?”
Me: “When you are 10″ (After laughing for a long time)

Michaela – Age 12 (10 June 2010)
I don’t get sick often but when I do, I have an ability to ‘self heal’ rather quickly. This afternoon we were discussing this after I had ‘self healed’ overnight after having the flu for a couple of days.
Me: “I have a super power that I can self heal”.
Michaela: “No, dad, you are just a lucky bastard!”.

Michaela and Lara entered a modelling competition. Lara made it through to the next stage and unfortunately, Michaela didn’t.
Me: “Poor Mick, are you ok?”
Michaela: “Yeah dad, I’m not a model, I’m a writer!”
Yes she is!

Lara – Age 5 (25 August 2010)
Lara has been having problems at school with two boys who pick on her. Tonight at the dinner table we had this conversation.
Lara: “Dad you need to smash Lachlan down because he’s an idiot”.
Me: “I’m not allowed to do that”.
Lara: “But you can smack kids on the bum”.
Me: “Only my own kids”.
She smiles and replies with a laugh
Lara: “That’s me! You don’t smack me on the bum!”

Lara – Age 5 (26 September 2010)
I took Lara to the park. While there a pre existing scab on her knee started to bleed but she didn’t notice until she got in the car to go home and then she started crying.
Me: “Why are you crying?”
Lara: “Because it is sore and bleeding”.
Me: “It was bleeding before and you didn’t cry”.
Lara: “Well that’s because I’m in shock!!”
Very funny girl.

Too funny!

The family and I were driving to the Gold Coast when I got pull over for a random breath test. After I had blown in the bag and continued on our journey, this comment happened.
Lara: “Is that bag to make your yellow teeth clean?”
Us: “Uncontrollable fits of laughter”
While I don’t have movie star teeth, they aren’t even that yellow. Too funny!

Lara: “Dad, I have a crush!”
Me: “Are you going to tell (old crush) you don’t have a crush on him anymore?”
Lara: “No. I don’t want to break his heart!”
Me: “What about (close family friend crush)?”
Lara: “He already had his heart broken!”
It was the funniest conversation. Too funny!
