From the mouth of babes

Kids say the funniest things...


Max, 4, is a thumb-sucker. His parents have been trying
to get him to stop before he starts kindergarten. One day his
frustrated dad said, "Max stop sucking your thumb - that's for
babies!" Max, with a shocked look on his face, hid his thumb
behind his back and said, "Babies aren't going to suck my thumb!"

Kimberly, who is expecting a baby this summer, was showing her
5-year-old the video of her ultrasound. "That's a picture of the
baby that is inside Mommy's tummy," Kimberly said. "Right now?"
her 5-year-old said. "Yes," Kimberly replied. "When will the
baby come out?" "When you're done with school." "But what grade?"
her 5-year-old asked.

Tabby, the resident mother cat, had a litter of several kittens in
the shed. They were sickly, and did not live very long. One of
the kittens wandered into the driveway and died there. Sarah, 5,
and Ben, 4, found it, took it to the large trash box at the end
of the trailer and put the kitten in the box. Virginia overheard
Ben ask Sarah if they should pray for the kitten. Sarah said yes
and prayed, "Dear God, this kitten was so small, I know you have
room for it in heaven. Please take good care of it. Amen."

Nancy was cleaning house. When her 4-year-old son wandered in to
see what she was doing, she asked him to see what shape his room
was in. He was gone for a few minutes and then came back to
report, "It's still square."

When my grandson was about 3 years old, his grandpa was lying on
the couch preparing to nap when Mike noticed the bald spot on top
of Grandpa's head. "Grandpa," he asked, "When I grow up, will I
have a hole in my hair like you do?"

Allen, 3, went to the grocery story with his dad.  All through the
grocery store Allen asked questions, every one starting with the
query "Daddy?" Allen was very talkative and asked what seemed
like a million questions. When they got to the check out, the
line was very long. Allen continued with his questions, asking,
"Daddy?" to start each one. This question and answer session was
entertainment for the other shoppers, who were bored with waiting.
Finally, Frank, tired of answering yet another question, told
Allen not to call him "Daddy" again. Allen sat very quietly for
a few moments. Then there was a quiet little, "Father?"
* * *
Max, 4, went to bed on a stormy night.  It was his first
experience with lightning. About 15 minutes after his parents
put him to bed his mother could hear him crying. She went into
his room and asked him what was wrong. Very upset, Max replied,
"You've got to tell somebody to stop taking pictures! I'm trying
to sleep!"

Loraine, who was planning a baby shower for her sister, had
talked about the plans and preparations for a couple of weeks.
They talked about the food, presents, decorations, etc. It was
going to be a great party! Loraine's 4-year-old started asking
questions about the party, such as, "Can I be there?" Loraine
said, "Sure." Then he said, "Mom, can I ask one more question...
How are all you girls going to fit in the shower together?"
