    Heard this little (true) story on the radio and I'm still smiling about it
    A blind Mother sharing a meal with her 7 year old son - she clears his plate and as usual, scans her fingers across the plate 'Oh good boy' she says 'you've eaten 'all' your sprouts'
    'No' says he - 'you have'

    Can't help but giggle - smart boy :p

    My wife's niece, when still a wee little girl, very sharp though, and witty, listened to her Grandma (my wife's Mother) running-on about something or other, then when silence interrupted, said, "What's your point, Grandma?"

    My wife and her Mother joke about that one to this day!

    Art Linkletter's show "Kids Say the Darndest Things" always cracked me up.

    @Babs Hunt My grandfather died when I was 5, but long afterwards, I would sneak into the sun room and get lost in his books. Two of them were: Kids Say The Darndest Things and Kids Still Say The Darndest Things. I loved reading them, and would imagine his enjoyment in the stories as I read them.

    I have a biracial granddaughter who has a golden brown skin color. She also has a very quick witted. One day, when she was four years old, I took her with me for the day. Of course the people we encountered whould ask her questions as most of us do with small children.

    On this day someone asked her what nationality she was, and this was her answer. "My mommy is white, (pause), My daddy is black, (Another pause. She was thinking.). And I'm Mexican." :eek::p

    My son in church preschool when he was young. Another boy, by the name of Noah, also attended the Episcopal school. I walked in one day and I noticed a couple of staff members paying particular attention to the boys restroom when it was time to clean. I asked my son what had happened. He looked up at me and said, "I think it was Noah's flood". (Apparently, the little boy Noah wasn't able to wait for his turn in the bathroom.) Ha!!!

    I, know, kids can be so funny and endearing at the same time. I was teaching my son the proper names for his body parts at one point. And like I said earlier, he talks very fast. So, instead of calling his particular body part "testicles", he would say "tentacles". I told my neighbor this one day and she started laughing. Then she said, "You know, he isn't all that wrong!" Funny!

    LOL ! I used to think the word was tentacles too ! :oops: :p
    As a child the priest says to the class, what do you think Heaven is like ?
    I called out - 'Its full of bananas !'
    There is logic to my answer, during the war everyone missed bananas - so when they finally emerged
    everyone was saying 'This is Heaven' ...........:p
