From the mouths of babes. Kids do say the darnedest things!

So we've all been there , the room falls silent just as the one child is asking in the shop " "well where do all those dark people come from mummy?"
Kids just don't have any filters, striking up conversations with strangers sometimes and pointing out the obvious. For instance to a person ( nowadays described as a little person)
" Hello ! Well you're a little bit big and a little bit little aren't you?! "...
I've had the joy of being there for both occasions, Fortunately the adults involved all handled the inquisitive questions remarkably well. ..
I recall telling my son (4yrs old at the time) to make very sure that he behaved himself at Grandma's house as I was dropping him off for the day. Clearly he knew what he'd be in for if he didn't as he wisely replied
" l know..., or Grandma might shine her blue eyes at me !" ...
Some things you just never imagine you would hear in a sentence, yet they actually make perfect sense!
Any funny questions or sayings you've heard from Kids you know?

  • I remember my son coming home from school pleased as punch one day ,announcing he knew what 'Gay' meant .l said oh do you, what does it mean? " It means sex" he said. " Do you know what that is? " i asked " Not really" came the reply. I weighed up the occasion and thought mmm do I really have the time for THE talk.. so I just quickly said well gay can also mean happy . And also you know uncle Greg and uncle Kevin, well they're gay so they sleep in the same bed like they're married. "Oh" he says.. and skips off. Back 2 minutes later and says quite seriously "well I think I might be gay" l said "oh why is that?" He responds with an emphatic " cos I hate girls!"
    • little nova asked me today why did I take hair from my head and stick it on my chest, I said it happens to everyone when you get old,2 hours later i found him looking at his chest with a magnifying glass,what are you doing nova ,i am looking for my chest hair because i am older he just turned 4
      • Haha! I love how kids just take things so literally . I do hope he has many more years before he finds one 馃槃
    • When Liam was about 4 we went to Pak'n'Save and he ran up to this man and yelled 'Look Mum a terrowist!'. Liam asked if he was going to bomb us? He said no and Liam proudly declared to the world, 'It's ok he's a nice terrowist!'. I profusely apologised, then Liam saw him again at checkout. Stood up in the trolley and yelled out "Bye nice terrowist" while happily waving. To this day I have no idea how he knew what a terrorist was and have never shopped at Pak'n'Save again.

    • remember that insurance ad where the little boy said: got bit by a crocodile and my head went thataway and my guts went the other way, classic ad at the time can't remember who it was, my little 6-year-old lost a couple of teeth recently scored 5 dollars a tooth, so when he saw my wife without her false teeth out he cheekily asked how much she got from the tooth fairy
      • Yes i was just watching it the other day ironically .still a classic ! The HBA insurance ad.https://youtu.be/S-rTxG-uVPM.... $ 5 a tooth these days for goodness sakes !! Used to be 20c ..
