Funny things that children say

The other night Solomon was telling us he had learned Baa Baa Black Sheep at nursery. He sang it for us all the way through til nearly the end and then finished it with "And one for the little boy who lived down the drain!!" He was so angry with us when we all laughed - he hasn't forgiven us yet!

A few weeks ago we were walking home and he pointed to an airplane high in the sky. I said "I wonder where it is going" and he said "Don't be silly Mommy - it's going to the airport!".

Thanks Diana - I'm trying to delve into my memory to think of some others - I think I have told some of them on here in the past.

At Christmas we were listening to carols and one mentioned the Virgin Mary. Joe asked me what a virgin was so I told him. He said "Oh no! - they asked me if I was one at school and I said no because I thought it was something to do with Jesus' mother!"

I remember when my oldest was really little, nowhere near school age, hubby and I would spell words out like CANDY or CHOCOLATE so that he didn't pick up on them. One day my hubby asked if I wanted S-E-X and suddenly my innocent little boy said SEX. He had worked it out himself       .

After we'd gotten over the shock, we were quite chuffed at his burgeoning intelligence.

Oh yes, we have an old trailer out back, we use to let the neighborhood kids go an see their video movies in it, my husband plugged in the movie and left, and when we came back had discovered we'd by mistake plugged in an X.rated movie...and we apolgized and little Shaun stands up and says..That's "OK"... dad let's us see them ALL the time at our house!"...we laughed, it was an action type movie, no sex, but still x-rated.for the violence going on in it during the chase scenes, etc. We had to laugh at  Shaun's comment though, he was so "sincere" in saying it...trying to make us feel better I guess.  

My son wanted an small puppy, so we let him have it, and I told him he'd have to keep it in his roomand take care of it at night...well, he use to call it an"raspberry" when it was mis-behaving...one day I got an call from his teacher, whom tells me there's something wrong with him, and I said horrified.."What" and she says.."Well, we can't keep him awake..he keeps saying in his sleep.."stop being an raspberry!"..so we took the puppy out of his room to get some sleep. 

Another time during one of my hubby's business trips to Chicago, (Convention time) I had both my son with me and the little girl I raised and we went to the airport to pick him up...we went over to the window section to look at this big specialty cargo plane everyone was talking about back then from Russia, one of an kind, and a lady there says, I'm waiting for my husband , he's most likely coming in on an "Continental" (jumbo Jet)..and I said that my hubby was arriving from Chicago, most likely "United" or some such daily flight into Portland, .. the little girl I raised says quite non-chanlantly...."well, when my dad travels,....he goes UPS" !...(postal service)....it was we could do to keep from laughing out loud, as she beamed with an proud "smile" from ear to ear.
