We all know kids do funny things here are the top ten I have heard. Just to preface this a little my son is 9 months old and my daughter is two.

1. One of the funniest things I have seen was when my son was less than a month old. I was at Walmart with my grandma, her husband, my daughter, and my son and my grandma was buying a crib and some accessories for my son's room.
