Kiddie Blog - The Ellen DeGeneres Show

Kiddie Blog

Whenever I see a little kid, I think that each one is more beautiful than the
next. The fact is, I like to think of each of you website readers out there as m’little babies. I’m the mama and you’re the chickies. And I’ll lead you to the comedy pond, and if you get cold I’m gonna sit on ya. You’re welcome, quack.

I love kids. It’s so cute when they lose their teeth. They can fall asleep anywhere. They don’t have to pay for anything. Now that I think about it, kids are basically tiny hobos. But I think we can learn a lot from kids. They are so honest. If they think you look fat, they’ll tell you, “You look fat.” If you want to know about your neighbor’s marriage, you should ask their kid. “Really, Davy? You say ‘loveless?’ Here’s a quarter… keep your ears open.”

I love that kids can turn any chore into a game. I know because my housekeeper is 8. I taught her a game called “Ring around the Tubby.” She gets in that tub and scrubs and scrubs and never complains! Her tiny little hands can get in all the cracks. Then, when she’s done, she gets a fruit roll-up. Well, that’s enough blogging for today, kids. Why don’t you go out and play for a little while?

next: Who's That with Ellen?

Hi! I think you are so funny! I love your show and I love to read your blogs! I just had the worst day ever and you totally made me feel better! Thanks!
I love the "kids are like hobos" part of this blog! So funny! I also think it is adorable when children lose their teeth, but I think it's cuter when they have glasses that are just a wee bit too big for their little heads! SOOOOOO cute!
I love you and I wish you all the happiness in the world! Keep us laughing! Take care and God Bless!
Love, Katie

Dear Ellen,

First off, congrats on the wedding! :) I wish you all the happiness you deserve and more. :)

You know, I'd also like to say thanks for everything you've done.. However little we hear from you and your show here in Europe, you truly changed a lot of things and believes even in places you might never have heard about. :P And I'd personally like to thank you for helping me understand things better, and with that being able to help my friends in need. I'll forever be grateful for being such an amazing role model.

Best wishes,

Kriszti from the middle of nowhere - goes by the name of Central-Eastern Europe =D

P.S.: Fun about the name combining, how about DeGenerossi? :D I always thought that sounded cool. :P

I'm such a huge fan of you and your show. I look forward to watching you everyday. I'm a mother of 6. oldest is 7 and youngest is 8 mos so yes our home is always crazy and i find comfort watching your show. You always make me laugh.

About kids being honest, well i told my three oldest kids that once they reach 8,7,6 they can start washing/drying dishes. my oldest came right out and asked "what are you gonna do"...lol
I answered,ummmmmm relax!

oh, i just remembered something else, my husband shaves his head and his been doing it since 2000 before the birth of all our 6 kids. so none of them has seen him with hair. one day my husband was in the shower and forgot to lock the door our 5 year old walked in and opened the shower curtain and the first thing he saw was hair and he asked his bald headed father if thats where he puts all the hair from his head...hahahaha

Thanks for all the laughter and joy you bring into our lives.

Hey Ellen. You are so right about kids being little hobos. In fact, if I don't pay attention, my six year old would dress like one too! LOL... you know, her fav t-shirt she got when she was like three years old, with some sweat pants that are too short & have permanent grass stains on them. Oh and the gym shoes with the holes in them (all of which she won't let me throw away!)... LOL!!!

Not only are they honest, but they think everyone else is honest too. Which can be fun, like when you tell her the flash light behind your back, shining on the wall is 'tinkerbell'. Or that the big strobe lights some business put outside for grand-openings are REALLY UFO detecters! LOL. ORRR, last X-mas when you were doing all the give aways, she thought you were giving EVERYBODY free Wii's (including her)... That was a hard one to explain to her, that it was only for the people actually in the audience. LOL

Anyway, thanks for making our mornings so bright and cheerful! Congratulations on your upcoming marriage, We love you and Portia (I miss her and Ally McBeal, LOL) We wish you both the best of luck and may God continue to Bless you both!!

Wendy, Grace(6) and Faith(15 months)

Dear Ellen!
I love you and your show so very much!! thanks for having Sen John McCain on your show. What a wonderful thoughtful person this makes you. My day is mostly scheduled around "getting home to watch Ellen" Even when my Mom was in a comma in August 2005 for 10 wks and we literly had to live 75 miles from home most of the time to be close to her, I found a tv to watch you!! My family thinks I am a little loopy. I wish I would have been able to get my daughter on your "baby" show but of course thats impossible to get close to you. Our family is going thru some rough times, but we belive we will get thru it. One reason is one day when a lady won a van on your show she said "God bless you Ellen" and you said "He does, He blesses me everyday." I will NEVER forget that, even when i sometimes think, of my gosh what next! You are a great inspiration for all women, girls, teens and adults! You keep cheering the world up and you will be blessed the rest of your life. Oh yeah, if only every mother could be as loved by her children as you love your Mama. Mine do,and I love my Mom & dont ever want to think of a time without her, so I know sorta how she feels even though i am not famous. Thanks for all the money and donations you give from yourself and inspire others to donate to the great causes of the world. Wouldn't it be great if we all had just what we needed, and if not someone like you and others to help us get it and do for ourselves. You go girl, you are my IDOL!

Dear Ellen
I have been watching your show for the past three years now-ever since I became a stay-at-home-mom. Which by the way is such a blessing-Its funny my two year old daughter even gets excited when I mention "Ellen's on" she runs to the TV says a big "Hi Ellen-how you doin" I'm ready to dance" she's too much- So, I just wanted to thank you for helping me wind down each day by inspiring me with the wonderful things you do for people and just making me laugh-you are one truly amazing person!

Ps: I am so happy to hear you are getting married-you deserve all the happiness in the world-CONGRATULATIONS!!

LOL You're such a nut.

One of my four (count 'em) kids (yes, I could plant "Listening ears/spies" N-S-E-W...have the city covered for a few bucks LOL)would EAT all her teeth somehow...because she'd loose them but never find them...she'd just notice a tooth was "gone" after eating something or sleeping once, too. I never told her she could find it possibly...

...she was mad that she never shared in the childhood joy of putting a tooth under her pillow. Once she wanted to borrow someone else's but I told her the tooth fairy would be onto her. (Yes, I gave her some money from Mom & Dad in lieu of not having a tooth to lay out for the tooth fairy.)

In regards to your writing: "Whenever I see a little kid, I think that each one is more beautiful than the next." EEeeks. You can't say that when you have more than one kid....that poor first of six children....he/she'd feel hideous.

As far as their honesty...it does seem to apply when they are telling you honestly how ugly you are or how fat you are or about that big huge zit on your cheek or when pointing out your under-eye bags or how your shoes look just like Bozo's...but it doesn't really apply when they kind of want that fountain pen you said not to touch...."what's that behind your back?" "Hm?! Nuthin' mom." ((runs)) or when you see their mouth surrounded in chocolate: "Did you eat anything?" "Hm?! No, mom." (And, yes, a brownie is missing. LOL)

Have a fun and happy day!

Iam amother of four little kids and they are the funniest people I know.....They say things you could never dream up..I took my three little girls to a sale at the local Church and they starting fighting right there in the church and I began to get a read face and feeling my heart pounding out of my chest and then I said Stop we are in God's house and he doesn't like you fighting and being loud and making a scene in front of other people or in front of your mother....My five year old turns to me and says very LOUDLY:"Ok Mom God's not home,do you see him????"Everyone began laughing it was perfect!!!!!
The we come to find out that there's a little boy that attends that church and NEVER wears his shoes even when it's 30 below....He say's
"That when I lift up God's skirt he doesn't have shoes on & we should take our shoes off too,
My mom makes all of us take our shoes off before coming into our house...Funny....

I heard the news on the radio and the first person I thought of was you. Ellen, I want you to know because of the person you are, made my husband change his mind about same sex marriages. Reason being, the facts you state, the person you are, the "just being yourself and not judging other's", as such a celeberty made such a difference in his opinion of gay marriages. We both wish you two the best and can't wait to hear about the details and see pictures of the big event. BEST WISHES.

Dear Ellen, congrats on your up coming Wedding I had no clue but RIGHT ON!! any ways this is not just a short hello and good luck. See this is about my sister who less than a year ago lost her only son to Suicide at the very early age of 20. with out say it has just tore this family apart. My mom is trying to be a mom but is having a hard time re connecting with her daughter and I live with my mom and I see her pain I have mine as well it is a very long and sad story on the the events leading to his last time we all would see him (He knew) but we did not see the signs now it is too late. I would always be close to my sister Francene, I could make her laugh no matter what bad day she had. Now we never see her, lucky to get a a 3 minute conversation. Why I am writing is to ask if you could some how work your magic for my mom and sister some where Holy. Just the two of them and let them both be together again like Mother and Daughter Because I am sure you would understand at a time like this We all needed MOM. I can never become to try to comprehend loosing a child her only child. if you were ever to get this and just say it reached you I would be very thankful at any response. I love your show but sorry to say I missed a lot all the new one's and all the cool guests. You tend to do that when you blackout from drinking trying to stop the pain! LOL no serious I have to watch my drinking now that I found out I have Bipolar1 and a slight ADHD? SLIGHT?? I don't get it but the focus is my Sister Francene and my Mom Olivia some where they can heal somehow. thank you so much have a summer.

OK did you know that one of the purposes of a Gypsy is to care for a Hobo? So now I have a new title, I am a GYPSY! Go me! I have three hobos of my own, all of the male persuation, all left handed. Wonder what that means? I must look into my crystal ball.... What fun, thanks for the obvious observation! You always seem to make me smile. Congrats on the upcoming wedding, what a great experience you get to have!

Posted by cheryl | May 18, 2008 12:53 PM

OMG!! I am soooo very happy for you and Portia! What a wonderful thing, to be able to be married in the eyes of God and man, and be validated with both-what a long time coming. I sure hope you will keep us, your loving audience, up-2-date on all the plans, clothing, food, decor, music, etc., etc. You have many folks who love and admire you, all over the world, who are not in the industry, so please remember us, and keep us in the loop! May your Blessings continue to be plentiful!

I know everyone thinks their kid is the funniest, smartest, cutest...but mine really IS!!
He's seven years old and I don't know anyone funnier(Except, you, Ellen, OF COURSE).
Just yesterday we were having lunch and I asked what I THOUGHT was a rhetorical question,
Me: "Who's the BEST little boy in the whole wide world???"
My son, Zac:( without missing a beat, straight faced he darts his eyes left then right, shrugs and says,"Ryan Seacrest???"
and on the same day a family friend who is in her twenties asked him,"Will you be my boyfriend?"
Zac looked at her like she was insane and said "Now that's just CREEPY"
Just thought I'd share the laughs w/ you,Ell.
