Oh, How Kids Make Me LaughPosted: Jun 18, 08 8:25amA friend of mine sent me the following story. As I sat at my desk laughing out loud it made me think that we haven't had a solid thread dedicated to funny kid stories in a while. As I see it, there are very few things in life that provide as much pure joy as small children . . . so I hope there are a lot of great stories to share! From my friend: My four-year old Grandson is learning to read. Yesterday he pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said, 'Look Grandpa! It's a frickin' elephant!' I took a deep breath, then asked...'What did you call it?' 'It's a frickin' elephant, Grandpa! It says so under the picture!'

...and so it does...  Posted: Jun 18, 08 9:02amWe had helium balloons at my husband's 50th Birthday party. My little one was calling them 'ceilium' balloons and actually corrected me when I tried to help him pronounce it 'HElium'. . . "NO, It's CEILIUM, mom . . . because they float up to the ceiling!" Seriously, how can you argue with logic like that from a 4 year old! Posted: Jun 18, 08 9:59amI posted this somewhere else a while back, so I apologize in advance. I took my son in for his kindergarten physical. As a part of that physical, the doctor tested his reflexes. He was fascinated by this! One day, shortly after the physical, he was sitting on my mother's cupboard and decided to show her how his reflexes worked. He hit his knee and his leg flew up and he said to grandma "Dr. Kaplan did that to me at my kindergarten testicle". He then went on to add "I was a good boy, I didn't even cry at my kindergarten testicle." That's what we get for teaching our children the correct name of their body parts!!

She would pronounce every letter sound very deliberately. Well, we were up at the Olympic peninsula & walking from our campsite to the water. We approached a sign & of course, eager to show she could read it, my daughter says in a nice clear voice BBBB eeeeeeee aaaaaaa chhhhhhhhhhhh Now just try that using the long e & short a sounds. I laughed so hard I cried. Hooked on phonics.....gotta love it !!! Posted: Jun 18, 08 10:17amLOL. Funny stuff! Posted: Jun 18, 08 10:18amCindy, your daughter was YEARS ahead of her time!! :-) Posted: Jun 18, 08 10:28amKids learning words, whether it's reading - or simply comprehension, seems to bring out a lot of humorous stories. One of my favorite stories of misused/misunderstoon words is of my oldest boy, now 7 years old. When he was about 4 years old we were reading a Mickey Mouse book about children from around the world. I got to the page about children from the Philippines and Bennett stopped me and said, "Oh, mommy, those are BAD people!" My jaw dropped and I said, "Where would you get that idea, honey?" - "Well, the bible says they're bad people" . . . I broke out into such loud laughter that I startled him. And then I corrected him gently with . . . "No, honey, those are the PhiliSTINES, not the Philippines." | ADVERTISEMENT  |
