I was reminded yesterday of a time I was with my son (he was 4) in a small crowd and he noticed a man with a hook for a hand, and said to me in a normal voice, "look dad, a pirate", then he just kept walking and continuing what he was doing... (I don't think anyone else heard him).
I still laugh to myself (and I'm laughing as I write this) when I think of this..... oh, to live in a world where there are pirates around every corner, and it's no big deal... lol Last edited by shakespeare47; Jul 18, 2014 at 08:40 AM.. |

When my son and daughter were about (8 and 5) my daughter came to me and asked me "how did you know it was me?" I gave her a puzzled look and said "what?" She said, "how did you know where to look when I was just born?" I told her,"honey, I had you. I knew who you were right away". She continued, "Nathan said you found me under a rock. How did you know which rock I was under?"
 Of course I hear giggling down the hall at this point. After yelling, "NATHAN ALEXANDER" of course the giggling continued down the hall.  I had to explain in simple terms how it all worked. Stinker!

Once when my daughter had a friend stay over we had a bear walk up on the deck so I told them because the friend had never seen one which is pretty rare around here.
They came out to see and the friend noticed our door was unlocked and freaked out. she started yelling, "The door is unlocked" and they sounded like a heard of elephants running to the door and screaming. The bear took off and I busted out laughing and asked if they thought the bear was going to open the door and join us. It was great. __________________ I pray that I am wrong, while fighting to prove I'm right. Me~ Myself~ and I . |

I was standing in line the other day at the grocery store deli and this girl, maybe about 10 or 11, was asking her mom in a very serious tone, mom, what are brain cells? How many do we have, like 100 or more? Can you kill off brain cells? How do you kill them off? Do we need brain cells to live? And the mom was just calmly answering her daughter and started chuckling and she and I looked at each other and I said man, I wish I was that age again where everything is still being discovered and there's still this fascination with things that you don't see as much in adults.

The innocent toddler whisper at the grocery store while pointing a finger and covering her mouth, " Mommy, why is that man so fat?". It echoed thru the store
not to mention we were right next to the person.....

When my daughter was two, we were at the company picnic, and I introduced her to one of my co-workers, Reggie (who is african american) and with her usual aplomb asked him if he had chocolate pudding on his face. Reggie, being the great guy he is, leaned down and offered to let her lick his cheek to find out, so she did! LOL!

My son cut himself (just a tiny scrape, really) tonight at the park and didn't even notice until I told him. I didn't realize it was probably the first time he had seen his own blood, and he gradually became more and more upset, crying big tears, and just generally feeling miserable. I stayed calm and explained the basics... it's good to bleed... mommy and daddy bleed, it will be okay.
When we got home we showed mommy and she kissed it, and then we put a band-aid on. Then he just wanted to sit quietly on the couch with his arm propped up on a pillow.... the funniest part was when he told us that we had to be quiet because he was bleeding, lol. |

i remember when i was in grade 1 and my mom said that if we get an award at school she would buy me a barbie. so months passed and i wasn't getting an award or a barbie. I then noticed that my teacher gave awards to the kids that were Tamil (South Indian). I then told my mom about it and she said saracstically "then go tell your teacher that youre actually Tamil". I took this seriously and the next day i went up to my teacher and said "Miss. can I please get an award? I'm Tamil too!". Then when i went home that day my parents were laughing uncontrollably because my teacher called home and told them about what i said (and no i'm actually not Tamil). My parents still remind me of the day i did that and they still laugh cuz i actually did it hahaha
 (and yeah she gave me an award for that month which means i got a barbie so it really did pay off).

I was born on 07-01-76 and my cousin was born 07-01-78. When we were 8 and 6 I convinced him that the reason he was born on MY birthday is he was a birthday present for me and that was the only reason my uncle and aunt had him. We are now 38 and 36 and he STILL gripes about it
I know I was a horrible child hehehe

A little kid I was babysitting, about five, came up to me and said "you can get car insurance on the council, you know" and pretended her hand was a phone. She then engaged in a long fake conversation about car insurance, LOL.

The church I grew up in was evangelical, and we were always trying to get people "saved", so they would go to heaven, and not hell.
One of the members of the church told about trying to explain the message of salvation to their young daughter. They ended with asking, "do you want to get saved so you can go to heaven?" She looked worried and said "I don't want to go to heaven! I want to stay here with you guys!". |

There was another time that we were praying in a group before eating. One of the kids said, "so and so didn't have his eyes closed when we were praying"... So, someone asked her "if you had your eyes closed, then how did you know?". Thinking quickly she answered "I dreamed it"

My seven year old comes out of a group of kids, at a water park.
Mom, I have to tell you something. Ok, I lean in. He whispers, don't tell them we live in Massachusetts, we are in new Hampshire, no we're in Maine. ..just don't tell them that. |

Last night as I was serving dinner to my son (okay, so he's 21, but it still counts) consisting of a chopped steak slathered in homemade beef gravy, a yeast roll, and his favorite broccoli with cheese melted over it he requested I bring him a bottle of A-1 steak sauce. I looked at him strangely and asked where on the plate was he going to put steak sauce (it was all gravy and cheese) and he said he wanted it for the broccoli.
Later that night my husband and I had an argument over who's son he was...

My son was four and we were in the bank and it was very...very quiet. Suddenly he drops a very loud f bomb. The entire bank cracked up, I was mortified. I don't even know where he learned that word!

We were sitting in an attorney's office with my son who was about 5 or 6. He looked at the stapler and said "that's a stapler". Then he looked at a stamp and said, "that must be a stampler". Hubby and I cracked up but the attorney couldn't even crack a smile.

A friend told the story about how his young son was out with his mom and her church-lady friends eating lunch. When the drink orders were taken, he announced loudly that he wanted a "Bud light!". She was horrified. When she told the story to her son (the boy's father) later, he said, "wow, that's weird, he's usually more of a Miller man."
