the things kids say...

[color=Purple]I know there was a thread a while ago but here is a story of my 5 yr old niece:

My niece on the plane ride home from Japan was telling me about all the sea life she saw at an aquarium in Japan and she mentioned sting rays---I told her that sting rays were cool and she said.." No they sting people!!!" and I said "They do that to protect themselves and I think they are still cool!"  She then asked "Why because they are like the red guy at the bottom?"  I asked "what red guy?"

"you know, the Devil, they have the same tails!! "

It was very quiet on the aircraft at the time and several people started laughing with me!!  LOL[/color]

:D :D That was really funny! I remember the time when my 4 year old cousin was asked  by my other cousin as to why he didnt want to speak to her earlier that evening, he smugly replied: ''Because my batteries were flat!''

Show and Tell

I got this one via emial, and I don't know if it is really true or not, but it sure is funny!  

***********************************************

Betsy (who wants her last name withheld) is a retired, grammar-school teacher from Miami, FL.  She remembers this Oscar-worthy birth tableau from one of her students...


"I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.

When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and experience a little public speaking. And it gives me a break and some guaranteed entertainment.

Usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it to school and talk about it, they're welcome.

Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant.

"This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday.

First, Mommy and Daddy made him as a symbol of their love, and then Daddy put a seed in my mother's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord."

She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had a video camera rolling. The kids are watching her in amazement.

"Then, about two Saturdays ago, my mother starts going, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. "She walked around the house for, like an hour, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" Now the kids' doing this hysterical duck-walk, holding her back and groaning.

"My father called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my mother to lie down in bed like this."

Erica lies down with her back against the wall. "And then, pop!  My mother had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!"   The kid has her legs spread and with her little hands is miming water flowing away. It was too much!

"Then the middle wife starts going push, push, and breathe, breathe. They start counting, but they never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff they said was from the play-center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there."

Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder - just in case another Erica comes along."
