What's the funniest thing you can remember a child saying to you? One I particularly remember was little Amelia. She was only just talking, and I was changing her diapers. She looked up at me with big sad eyes, shook her head and said, "Stinky old butt!"

When my daughter was about 2, we were in the supermarket shopping. There were a family of very dark fijians in there that were friends of mine, and my daughter looked at them and said "look mum, that mans chocolate!!!" Needless to say i was very embarrassed particularly because she had said it so loudly. However they all thought it was amusing :-)

I rember saying something similiar as a child. A dark skinned postman delivered a package from my grandmother. I ran down the hall yelling "Mommie, Mommie, look what the chocolate postman brought!" In my childish mind, it was a simple equation: Vanilla postmen delivered regular mail; chocolate ones brought gifts from a favorite grandparent.

I think it's adorable when children are so honest and tell it like it is. They don't have the inhibitions we have.

Out of the mouths of babes they say. Kids are bound to speak their minds, especially if they've heard someone else say something and get a laugh out of it. I'll bet that poor girl was so embarrassed!

From a kid's perspective, EVERYONE is old! I had a high school ask me once if I had known Martha Washington personally. They have no concept of time.

We've just finished a story on Joseph, a character from the bible. I asked the children to draw thier favourite part of the story. Most of the kids drew pictures of Joseph and his coloured coat or Joseph on camel back sold as slave. However, this one kid drew a straight measuring rod. Puzzled I asked him why he drew a straight rod. He said " You said that Joseph eventually became a strong ruler .."

I love this story! At least you know he was listening even if he didn't exactly comprehend what you were saying. I'll bet he never messes up the two meanings of the word ruler again. Thanks for responding.

I took my 5yr old grandson to school but could'nt find a park so parked down the street outside the presbytery where our local priest lives. Father was coming down his driveway when my grandson saw him called out "Good morning God" i was so embarrassed and told him that's not God that's father.... grandson replied "oh yes i know i knew him" Father thought it was so funny and couldn't stop laughing. There are so many funny stories from my children and grandchildren i could easily write a book

That is cute.. we went bra shopping and my daughter was about 4. she was putting them on her head to see if they would cover her eyes... the lady asked her if she could help her... She asked if she had any bigger ones for mommy.. then she looked at the lady and said " You have big boobies, where do you get your bras from?"

When my son was 5, he came home all upset one night. "Mom", he said, "Regan says I have to marry her at recess tomorrow. Do I have to?" At that same time he had numerous girlfriends. Then he grew into the stage where girls were yucky. So, I think every little one tries to emulate the adults around him until he gets old enough to make decisions for himself. My son is 24 now, and he still thinks he's too young to get married.

When I was in high school, I was the band manager. This meant I was responsible of keeping track of uniforms, instruments and anything else associated with the band when we went to events, especially out of town ones. One time we went out of town for a solo and ensemble festival which lasted all day. I rode with a family that had two members in the band and and a little girl of about three or four. By the time we headed home, we were all very tired from all the work we did and trying to listen to as many pieces of music as we could fit in. We all everyone sat in quiet exhaustion except the little girl. She started whining and told her mother she had a bad headache. Her mother offered her sympathy and promised to get her some asprin as soon as we found someplace to get some. Then the little darling protested "But Mommie, don't you know for little girls it's a Coke?"

Nice try kid! I'm sure mama didn't fall for that one, but kids certainly do like to test you, especially when they are tired. Thanks for sharing!

My brother in law has a dog named Trouble. When I was babysitting one time, my nephew was running around the house frantically so I finally told him to calm down and asked him what he was doing and he responded, "I'm looking for Trouble, Auntie!"

my 10 year old autistic son asked his great grandmother how old she was and then asked her if she was going to die on her next birthday, my only saving grace was that she can't hear, and when she asked what he said I told her he said she looked pretty.

I think that even if she could hear Grandma would have the wisdom of her years and understand that kids will be kids. It's always embarrassing to parents, though, when their child makes an inappropriate remark. Thanks for your response.

When my son was four and daughter was two, it was our wedding anniversary. My husband sent me roses while he was at work. Being busy I took the roses from the florist and placed them in water. My son asked what I had, and I told him they were flowers from his daddy for me. When my husband came home, my son went to him and said "daddy my other daddy was here today and gave mommy some flowers."

This is so cute! It's always fun to hear a child speak based totally on their experience in life. They think they have things all figured out, but a lot of times their reasoning is a bit faulty. Thanks for sharing.

"Mom, what happened to your p***s?" When they were itty bitty, like 2 when I use to have them take a shower with me if we were pressed for time...

If little ones know a word, they're sure to use it. They are so innocent that way, and they ask questions because they're curious about their world. Just be glad you were in the privacy of your shower and not out in public somewhere. :O) Thanks for responding.

that's so funny. My youngest always had the hiccups, even while I was still preggers with him. After he was born, same thing..........hic......hic......hic He was about 6 months old, and we were at the amusement park, when he started again. My daughter turned to me, rolled her eyes and said, "Oh mommy, Nicky has the pickups again!!" I laughed so hard, we called them that for years after.

Oh my gosh, so many things... One I remember, my niece was about 3 or 4 and she was reciting the alphabet. Well, a friend of the family thought he'd be funny and told her "That's good. Now can you do it backwards?" She thought for couple of seconds and immediately turned around facing the other direction and started "a,b,c,d..." Aloha!

One day, I was out shopping with my 3 year old niece and she wanted to use the toilet. I am just lost when it comes to kids. I asked if she could wait till we get home, which is very nearby, but she said 'no'. It took me quite a lot of effort to clean the toilet seat for her, and lift her onto the seat, etc. When we were done and out of the toilet, she looked at me & said, 'So now you know what to do huh??' Awww.....

You're just lucky she waited long enough for you to do what you did. My little grandson is 3, and when he says he has to go, it means he's about to explode. We've had wet pants on the way to the restroom several times. Thanks for sharing your cute little story.
