When my daughter was very young she attended a catholic daycare. One day she came home and said she needed money for the next day as they were going buy God's cleaning lady a birthday present! After I found out what she meant it was the daycare priest's housekeeper who was having a birthday! She was getting the priest confused with God. Another time (this was all taking place in Germany) a German priest is called der Pfarrer (pronounced farrer) and a bus ticket is called a Fahrkarte (pronounced farkarte)we were taking the bus to town and I told her she could keep the Fahrkarte which she seemed very reluctant to do when asked why she didn't want to do that she said that God would need the ticket...again her confusion between God and the priest. It took a while to convince her they were not one and the same.
What odd/funny/unusual/ things have your kid's said??

As you can see, it's easy to confuse kids and their innocence shouldn't be stained with preconceived ideas of a big Juju in the sky. I liked your story very much, though. Very sweet! It even earned you a '+'! ;)
A very amusing thing my kids came up with -- well, mostly the daughter when she was 6 or so -- is when we went to the Junfraujoch (a place in the Swiss mountains whose name roughly tranlates as the 'Virgin's Yoke'). Obviously, 'yoke' not being a common word in kids' vocabulary, it quickly became interpreted as going to the 'Jungfrauloch' (the 'Virgin's Hole'). And my daughter was wondering what was so interesting about the place...

I don't have children, but when I was 4, I was in the car while my mom was driving around. She asked my 6 year old sister what she thought my mom should get my dad for his birthday. My sister saw a billboard with a model wearing underwear, and suggested to my mom she get him that. She jokingly said, "And that's what I'll get him."
The next day was church (my dad was the pastor) and my Sunday school teacher came up to my mom and talked with her. My mom asked how I was doing, and she said, "Fine. And she even told me what you were getting your husband for his birthday - underwear!"
My mom was mortified.
