Apparently when I was 5, a lady asked me if I could speak French. I replied with “French Toast”.

The 2 kindergarten kids that my mom watched after school would see the yellow Schwan’s Ice Cream truck and thought it had a duck on it. When they saw the truck, they would tell my mom that the Duck Man was here.

Wouldn’t it be great if speaking another language was that easy, Jessica? I could use some Italian teeth.

A little late on this, but apparently when I was about 4 years old I said outloud (at the doctor’s office), “I wish my mom would go to the dentist so she could get English speaking teeth.” My mom was from Mexico and didn’t speak much English at the time so at that age I thought a dentist could give you the type of teeth to make you speak a language. If only it was that easy.

My sister didn’t know her colors very well as a child and thus wanted to name our black dog blue, but she went around telling everyone our dad was black and people would look at her funny because she was white. My dad was brown not black! LOL! Oh and when she heard the dryer buzzer she’d say to my mom, “The dryer is calling you!” I still laugh when I hear the dryer buzzer.

I think my brother Pat, as the age of about 7 i think he was at the time. Could have been younger he is now 45 yrs old when he dropped this little gem. We were on our way one weekend to our cottage and we went through this small town, and on the out skirts of the the town was their funneral home.. It looked like a house and Pat in hs innocents says “gee mom, I like that house, do you think we could buy it”. We all started to laugh and told him why we could not live there… And oddlly enough a friend of the family was burried from there not too long ago and we told his kids the story and they have teased him about it every since.
Out of the mouths of babes……Thanks for making me think of this long ago funny memory.

Here’s another one from when my youngest was 4 (last year). He was sitting on the potty going poo when he farted. He told me – Mama, my bummies growledED.
He also told me once when his eyes were watering – Mama, my eyes are sad.

I know there are so many things that both of my kids have said but the most recent still has me laughing!

I had bilateral knee surgery 3 weeks ago. My 4.5 year old daughter went around telling everyone “My mommy got both her knees cutted off!” LOL!

when I was a kid, I thought there were people inside the radio and I also wanted to know why you never heard people sneeze or cough on a record.

It’s amazing what some people have for camping isn’t it, Michelle?

You mean there aren’t people in the ATM machines, Judyf? Just kidding. I would like that job.

And why is it that bad boys make us feel so good? That’s a romance author question if ever I heard one.

Had to laugh at that Kathy. #1 son used to be in love with the Little Mermaid. He doesn’t find that as funny as I do these days.

oh! I remember watching Beauty and The Beast with Laura and Julia before their sisters were born.
Laura burst into tears at the end, and sobbing hysterically, told me she wished they were real.
She just rolls her eyes now that she is a worldy 13 and I mention that.
boy, I’ve been looked after that family for a long time and going to see them all on Friday. haven’t seen them since well before Christmas
