Kids Say the Darndest Things - Funny or not!

That’s so true that they made a TV show out of it back in the 60’s. Art Linkletter did it first but Cosby did it later (and better IMHO) And while you never dream that the kids are even listening or paying attention sometimes, you find out VERY FAST that they, in fact, are. Seems they can multi-task even when you think they’re singing and playing with their building blocks in the next room.

Some hilarious (and not so hilarious) examples: My nephew accompanies Grandpa into the rest room while the rest of the family and lot of other people mill around in the gift shop while on vacation. Upon exiting the restroom, he announces, “Grandpa farted really loud!”

Upon returning from a fishing trip, a friend of mine had a cooler of fish they had caught and was showing off the fish to the guys in the garage. Repeating something he’d just heard out in the garage, the 3 yr old comes running into the kitchen and yells, “Come on Grandma! Come see the big f*ckin’ fish!”

If you’re not careful, they’re at school telling teachers all sorts of things they heard (or witnessed) at home. Embarrassing things like your weight or something you said under your breath about your MIL; or worse, they’re telling the MIL.

So I think it’s a good idea to fib a little, right? When jr. asks how old you are, tell him 27 even if you’re 35. If your 4 yr old asks what size pants you have when you’re out shopping or why you’re wearing spanx, for God’s sake, don’t use the word fat or overweight, just say something like “Mommy is small size” or “Because Mommy is slim and trim”.
