QOTD: Thurs 05 Sept: Kids say the darndest things...!

[danger_dan]

A slip of the tongue as an adult can be the difference between keeping your job, or getting fire.
...but when do it, it's just pure sweet innocent bliss...
What is funniest of most surprising thing you've heard a child say?

Few years ago. my then 4 year old nephew already knew about Snake Eyes from GI Joe is a ninja (His dad is a big fan, has toys etc...)
His mum was taking him to see the doctor and there was a Muslim woman there dressed in a hijab. Little guy said "Ninjaaaaaaaaa"

His mum, also my cousin was quite embarassed.

Oh I think I am repeating this story, but when I delivered mail in an apt building I was standing in the room behind tossing in the letters and a young kid peers through her mail window box in the lobby and declares " Mom! the mailman is not wearing any clothes! " Well, the kid could only see my thighs, knees and maybe some calf as I was wearing my shorts and ankle style socks, but I heard her and just had to go around and laugh with the Mom and show her in fact I was not nekkid!!

I was about 14, babysitting one of my regular kids (since he was 6 months old) a 3 year old boy. He decided he wanted to tickle-fight and he was winning so I picked him up as he was flailing a bit and he kicked me in the lady-bits. No hesitation he says "sorry I kicked you in the vagina". It just completely caught me off guard that he knew that word. He then followed it up with "I don't have a vagina, I have a penis" giggle giggle. I think someone had recently had a little talk about private parts with his parents

(for the record I am all for giving kids the right words, but when I was 14 - heck I rarely said that word, so a 3 year old boy surprised me)

When I was younger, my grandfather passed away.
At the funeral, my mom was telling me what was happening and why were were all gathered together etc.

Mom: We are going to say our final goodbyes to grandad. His body will be with us today and we get to say nice final things to him.
Me: If the body is here, where is the head?!

When my daughter was about 4 she went through a stage when every time she was hurt even just bit she would scream like a banshee.I had had enough and sat her down and told her the story about the boy who cried wolf,hoping she would understand that I was tired of all the injury false alarms.
She listened intently and when I was finished she asked me how old the boy was that watched the sheep in the story.Wanting to relate the story to her I said the boy was about her age. She looked at me and said..."well that's the problem that kid is to young to be watching sheep"

When I was working retail there would always be bratty children come in with their parents.
Once a child was getting out of line and the mom yelled ' I`m not going to tell you again! ' And the kid repeated back ' NO, I`m not going to tell YOU again '
The mom looked furious and so embarrassed. She saw me laughing and left.

3 weeks ago DH accidentally shaved off his mustache. I had cut his hair and used his trimmer but I took the guide off to do his neck and anyhoo when he later went to trim his mustache he forgot to put it back on and ended up shaving it off.

DD sees this and has a fit, she has never seen him without it and was not pleased.

Fast forward 2 days ago.

Kiera to DH - Don't shave your mustache again, I know it was an accident but don't do it again because you don't want to look stupid. The only reason mom and I didn't ditch you is because it was an accident .

^ Geez, that is one heck of a moustache if it's a deal breaker Patty

My Dad had a moustache until I was about 10 - when he first shaved it, I thought it was the weirdest thing ever... you mean my Dad has an upper lip!? He participated in Movember two years ago (and raised $3000 might I add!) but boy did his moustache make him look dirty this time around compared to the 80's/early 90's look.

My father has ALWAYS had a stash. I think it's because he doesn't have an upper lip

about a month ago, we're in the car and my son is wearing shorts, and i guess he felt like inspecting his legs. all of a sudden he says "mom, my legs have a lot of hair. i need to wax them so the hair is smooth."

the boy's been watching too much tv i guess :p

Similar to a story above..... when my Grandma passed on we picked the urn up on the way to the church. My three children at the time were all under the age of 8 or so. When i returned to our vehicle with urn in hand they asked what it was. I replied that Grandma was in it. The three of them first shocked and then they burst into giggles. The thought of grandma being in a tiiny box was just too much for their minds and the laughter that pursued was just what everyone needed.
