Out of the mouth of babes

[kuhio98]

Here's one I'll tell on myself.

I was 3 years old and we were moving to the US from Scotland. My sister was 1 and a half, my mother was hugely pregnant with my baby brother. The line at the crowded airport was long and Mom was having trouble keeping me under control while holding my sister. So, she let me roam a little.

I became fascinated with a man in another line. I had never seen a person of color. I went over to him and rudely stared trying to figure this out. I touched his hand to see if he was real.

Then, I yelled at the top of my lungs, "Mom, do you like this chocolate man?"

Soooo, what did you do to embarrass the heck out of your folks?

Oo! Oo! Gotta tell this one about my mom.

My mother inherited her beautiful singing voice from her father. When she was 4 or 5, she was somehow encouraged to get up on stage at church and sing a song. Since they didn't tell her what to sing, she picked her favorite of the moment.

She began at the top of her lungs, "Lay that pistol down, gal. Lay that pistol down. Pistol-packin mama, lay that pistol down!"

That's about as far as she got. Brought down the house! But, she was never asked to sing again.........

thanks for the great laugh!!...

kids can be sooo funny.....

hubby also asked about the milk one... just he asked if one was for milk and one for juice

my kid once at a store was trying to "help" me pick a gift for a baby shower we were attending and one time he picked something up he asked me "how much does it cost?" (no clue why he wanted to know but I´d tell him) later on he said to me "I know how much this one costs" so I asked him and he responded "it costs 4 kilometers" with such a proud face.....LOL

this one is of my bro... it´s more of a spanish word trick but here is the translation

a pagar: means to pay
apagar: means to turn off

my aunt was taking care of us while my mom was out, my bro asked her were she went and my aunt said "fue a pagar la luz" (she went to pay the electric bill) after much looking for her my brother replied "but to what room?!!... ( he understanded " fue a apagar la luz" which is: she went to turn off the lights, hence his reply)

"The Sermon I think this Mom will never forget.... this particular
Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended
toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you,
we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment my very
obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite
audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is
butt dust?' "

Oh! I got a GOOD one, may be offensive to some but it was so funny! My little brother was small when this happened, I am not sure what age he was but he must have been about 7 or 8 maybe. We had a bunch of people at the house for some reason and when my boyfriends brother went to the bathroom, little brother followed. When they came back my little brother announced loudly and in shock, "Mama! His isn't as big as Daddy's!.....

BRITTANY (age 4) had an earache and wanted a pain killer. She tried
in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom
explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her.
Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's
me?'

How in the world did this little girl think of that?
kuhio, my nephew yelled out to my sister while grocery shopping "look mom, a chocolate person", when he was three,my sister was so embarrassed.
