Out of the mouth of babes

Here's a sad - yet kinda funny - one I read. I think it was in Reader's Digest.

A mom had to go into the hospital to have an operation. Her little 5-yr old boy wanted to visit her, but the hospital had a policy that no children under 12 could visit.

Every day, he asked his dad if he could visit his mom. Every day it was explained why he could not.

Finally, one day his mom called him on the phone. They had a nice talk and he felt better. But, as they were about to hang up, the boy broke down into sobs. His Mom asked him what was wrong. Though his tears he said, "I'll see you when I'm 12!"

No matter how we try to explain, children have their own logic. And they are usually right!

How cute!

I was 5 when my mom had a garage sale. I liked to pretend like I was a dog and I barked at everyone there. So my mom put me into the playpin. A man let me out as a joke since I was barking at him and I ran up and bite him. I hope I had my rabies shot.

When my son was little, probably about 6 or so, my (then) husband and I were talking to another couple about their upcoming camping vacation. I said "Yes, we're planning our vacation, too" and she said "Oh, you're going camping?" and I said "No, we're going to several places so we'll be staying on the road". My son's brow furrowed w/a worried look and he said "Won't we get run over?"
