Funny Things Kids Say

I've heard some crackers recently so thought I'd share.

My daughter, talking about poisonous snakes: "I always make sure to keep my ears and eyes open for screams and hisses and the sight of adders."

After being asked a question: "Hit! Hit! Hit! I'm hitting a secret box in my head which will open and let me know what the answer is!"

Please share yours too!
 
When our youngest was in Year 2 he came home one day with a Mothers Day card he'd made at school. The teacher had obviously told the kids to write a 'thank you' in the card for something their mum does. He'd written "thank you for sorting the socks into pairs".
 
great thread made me smile and laugh thanks
 
My young brother and I live in different countries and there's a 20 year difference between us. This was a while ago, he had just started school and there was some bullying going on there, with kids eventually resorting to 'if you do XYZ, my older brother/sister will come beat you up'. I was visiting the family and while playing with my brother he looks at me dead serious and asks me for my age. 'Well, how old do you think I am?' 'Maybe... Maybe 16?' (I wish buddy). 'Remember, I'm 20 years older than you. So how much is that?' Quick finger math later: 'You're 27?? That's-- You're ancient!' At that point I was contemplating teaching my brother what it actually means to have a sibling, when he suddenly looked at me all proud. 'You could beat all of them up!' 'Who?' 'The brothers and sisters of my classmates! Maybe some teachers too... You could totally beat all of them up. That's good.' Apparently he went around in school, threatening any bullies with his grown up sister coming to beat some kids up. Never knew I'd be proud to have 'street credit' in a primary school in Sweden, but here we are. :rofl: Left my Mom to deal with that aftermath o_O

Brilliant haha. Good to have your uses as an older sibling!!
 
A few years ago, my niece (about 4 years old) was discussing the upcoming Nativity play with her granddad.
"You could be Joseph, Grandad, and I cold be Mary".
"What about Grandma?"
She though for a while and responded with "Grandma could be the donkey."

I don't think it was meant as an insult - apart from Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus, she didn't know many of the characters.

When my son was about 3 or 4, we had the Salvation Army knock on the door.

SON: "Where are you from?"
MAN: "I'm from the Salvation Army."
SON: "Do you have a gun?"
MAN: "No, I don't have a gun."
SON: "Do you kill people."
MAN: "No, I don't kill people."

After I'd dispatched the poor guy and closed the door, my son said:

"That man's an idiot. He said he's in the army but he doesn't have a gun and he doesn't kill people!"
