    My six year old asked what the construction in the middle of the road was all about. I told him they were putting in a median so that cars can go opposite directions and not run into each other. He says "Hmmm, impressive." :)
  • tell her to always wear sunscreen, lol cuz wrinkles are what happens if you fdont lol and yes kids do say some funny things, my nephew went to a after church BBQ and a guy there was telling him about his name Caleb in the Bible ((my nephew is 4)) after this guy talks to him he comes over to me and tells me he is a kid not a bible lol sooo cute!!

    Today is my daughter's 5th birthday. She said the best part of a bday is the presents. My 2 yr old then corrected her; saying that the best part of a bday is just being at the PAR-TAY! Then started dancing! It was funny but I think I'm going to have to keep a close eye on that girl!

    Sorry, don't know the answer to the elephant thing.

    husband was babysitting our grandaughter who was 2 at the time. She was being a bit difficult and he teasingly told her if she didn't mind him, he was going to beat her bare butt. Her response: "But Pappa, I not a bear"

    @Kelsue - From GOOGLE Brain:

    Elephant skin is wrinkled in appearance, with African elephants more wrinkled than Asian elephants. Wrinkles act as a cooling mechanism by increasing the skin’s surface area. The additional skin and wrinkles trap moisture, which then takes longer to evaporate. Therefore, wrinkles keep elephants cooler, for longer, than if they had smooth skin.

    One year ar Easter I gave my nephew a $10.00 bill in a plastic egg. He held it up and yelled "A million dollars, I'm rich!!". He was 5 at the time. He graduares college this month and I still tease him about it. Just the other day asked him how much of his million he has left after paying for four years of college.

    His brother is about a year younger. One morning I'm sleeping and woke up to screams of "He's killing him!" from the 4 year old. Went racing downstairs with my heart in my throat.... turns out the dog had gotten ahold of his favorite stuffed animal and was disembowling it.

    Yesterday, my husband and I took the kids to a local festival. We talked it up to my 3 y/o so he'd be excited to go. He fell asleep in the car, but when we got there he woke up and was so excited saying "We're here! We're at the VEGETABLE!"

    I was trying to curl my 8 year old daughters hair for wacky hair day.

    I was grumbling about my lack of skill, and said something along the lines of "man I'm terrible at this"

    She raised her eyebrow at me and said "ya think!"


    thanks kiddo....lol

    one morning I woke up to my then 2 year old with the bathroom plunger in my face..I asked him why on earth he would do that , he said he thought my nose was clogged...

    My 4 year old told me he could not eat cookies anymore cause his teacher said to him that it was junk food and junk food makes you fat..he then asked me if he could have chips cause those are potatoes..lol

    My little 8 year old nephew just found that his ancestors are all from England on both sides. My mom told him that they drink tea and eat crumpets. Now, whenever he drinks anything, he sticks his pinky in the air and says that he can't help but do it because of how much English is in him. It is the cutest dang thing.

I said "Ewwwwww no way, he's all gross and stinky" lol. 3 year old then lowers teddy to my face very slowly and whispers "dont be afraid mummy" lmao!!! Creepy and funny all at once

    My 3 1/2yr old is scared of flies. There was one in the car this morning & she was freaking out. I asked why she was so scared of flies, and she said "He's going to kill me!!!"

    My 7 yr old son loves to watch the military and history channels. The other day he asked me what his heritage was for a school project. When I told him it was mainly German, he got this horrified look on hi s face and exclaimed " NOOO! I cant tell them that. They will hate me!" Guess we need to clarify to him that not ALL Germans are bad people....

    Ha ha ha! This topic is so funny, I've laughed out loud a few times reading them.
    Don't have any kids yet but I'm very excited to hear what they will come up with when I do! :)

    My boys have a bin of old halloween costumes we stock up on when on clearance. My 3 year old dressed as darth vader came up to me and whispered in my ear in a perfect darth vader voice, "Me a killah', the force can't save you now" :noway:

    My five year old has a new obsession with saving money. He thinks it's sooo cool that he can buy whatever he wants if he saves enough. He finally saved $55, just enough for a toy he wanted. Comes home from the store after making the big purchase, "Mom you are NEVER going to believe it! They gave me back $2! This time I'm gonna save $100 and go to the dollar store! Then I can get a million things!"

    One of my nieces is in kindergarden, and I asked what they were doing in school. She said they are talking about what they were going to be when they grow, her response " I don't want to grow up". Gotta love kids.
