A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.


« on: June 24, 2008, 05:57:01 PM »

I got this in an email today and it is hysterical!  Kids say the darndest things!   rofl rofl rofl rofl rofl

1) - This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.  (Kelly, age 6)

2) - Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6)

3) - If you are surrounded by ocean you are an island.
 If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent.
 ( Wayne , age 7)

4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like
Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more. 
(Kylie, age 6)

5) - A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its
head. (Billy, age 8)

6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and
a woman and pots and comes back with crabs.
(Millie, age 6)

7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade
winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind
didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind
come.  My brother said they would have been better off
eating beans.  (William, age 7)

8) - Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids.
They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how
on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really?   (Helen, age 6) (I think the electric eels charge them up) :teehee:

9) - I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother
is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my
big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to
write. (Amy, age 6)

10) - Some fish are dangerous.  Jellyfish can sting.  Electric eels
can give you a s hock. They have to live in caves under the sea
where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers.
(Christopher, age 7)

11) - When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold,
and it makes my willy small. (Kevin, age 6)


13) - On vacation my Mom went water skiing.  She fell off
when she was going very fast.  She says she won't do it
again because water fired right up her big fat butt.
(Julie, age 7)

14)-The ocean is made up of water and fish.  Why the fish
don't drown I don't know.  (Bobby, age 6)

15)-My dad was a sailor on the ocean.  He knows all about
 the ocean.  What he doesn't know is why he quit being a
sailor and married my mom.   (James, age 7)

That reminds me of the often-relived story in my family, when my mom finally got so fed up with my brother that she screamed at him "Turn off that d**n TV before I put my F***ing foot through it!!!!"

My mom NEVER talked like that, so my brother makes hay of that to this day, more than 10 years later. Even now, grown up, married with kids...we'll be visiting at my parents house, and all of the sudden my brother will make his voice all high-pitched and go

".....Turn off that *bleep* TV before I put my f...."

and then we all just start cracking up. My poor mom.

Don't you just love to tell those stories about your parents?   They get all flustered and everybody gets to laughing and they finally give up trying to make excuses and join in the laughter!  rofl rofl rofl rofl

My cousin was visiting with her kid's (who get yelled at often) this was 3 yrs ago, and she, of course, got after the kids for ? and barked an order to  her 5 yr old daughter. 

The the 5 yr old replied, "Yes sir, Mommy sir!" 

Her daughter is now 8 but I still think of "Yes sir, Mommy sir!" whenever my cousin gets after her!  They have no military connections at all but it makes me think of little soldiers, snapping to attention!   :1lmao:

Tam, that was funny, it reminded me of a story my Mom used to tell about me and my brother!  We were visiting my Grandma and Grandpa (my Dad was in the service) and my Mom said I came running in the kitchen from the back yard yelling "Mommy, Billy is shaking the Lieutenant!'  She said when she went outside he was shaking the pole that ran up the side of the house with the TV antenna on it (tells my age...before cable and satellite dishes)

Lipstick, you must be in the 29.95 age range too, I remember antennas!
I just got this e-mail, " Why do we love children?"  I thought it fit right in...   I REALLY LIKE (2)!


 (1) NUDITY
 I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a  woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark  naked!  As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the  back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'


 ( 2) OPINIONS
 On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from
 his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'


 ( 3) KETCHUP
 A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her
 struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone.  'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the  bottle.'


 ( 4) MORE NUDITY
 A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker
 room.  When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing  towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked,  'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'


 (5) POLICE # 1
 While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was
 interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my
 uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing
 the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police.
 Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as
 she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'


 (6) POLICE # 2
 It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the
 station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking,
 and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back
 there?' he asked. 'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the  back of the van ?  Finally he said, 'What did he do?'


 (7) ELDERLY
 While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
 shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
 She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age,
 particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her
 staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself
 for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'


 (8) DRESS-UP
 A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her
 dad donning his tuxedo, she warned , 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that
 suit.'   And why not, darling?'  You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.'


 (9) DEATH
 While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister
 heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
 Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
 Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small
 box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Father, and unto the Son, and
 into the hole he goes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)

 (10) SCHOOL
 A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just
 wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write,
 and they won't let me talk!'
 

11) BIBLE
 A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered
 through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He
 picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that
 had been pressed in between the pages.  'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.  'What have you got there, dear?'  With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think  it's Adam's underwear!'

Tam, that is so funny.  I like #2 the best too.  It reminded me of when we signed my son up for kindergarten and we had to attend a parents orientation night. 

His teacher rose, came to the front of the gymnasium and introduced herself, ran through a few details of what to expect and then ended her talk with this statement" I promise not to believe everything your child tells me about you, and what happens at your house if you promise not to believe everything your child says about me and what happens in my classroom!  There was a pause and everybody burst out in laughter!

Believe me kids will tell things you have no idea they would tell to anyone they see.  I have heard incredible stories from my kids on the school bus. Their parents would die if they knew what their kids told about their home life and their parents!  Needless to say....my lips are zipped!!! :nocmmnt:

I can ONLY imagine!   I was helping with ? party in son's room (1st, or 2nd grade) getting drinks poured.  The teacher asked a little boy what he wanted to drink, juice or Milk were being offered be he answered, "I'll have a beer!"  Guess that's 1 good thing w/non-verbal child!  He doesn't tell on me but I'd be SO HAPPY if he did!   :teehee:

Tam, I don't know too much about your sons autism, but I know there are so many types.  I worked with adults with disabilities in a sheltered workshop and had one young man who was autistic, he always did what I told him to do, but never talked. 

One day I was in the lunch room and one of the men who is MR yelled "I love you Teresa", I said "I love you too, David".  All the blind people laughed and repeated "I love you Teresa" and from that day forward whenever David ( my autistic guy) worked for me as soon as he would see me he would yell "I love you Teresa".

The point of the story is that some day, there will be something that gets through to where your son is and he will verbalize.  Unfortunately we don't always know what and when a breakthrough will come!

He will (rarely) say ? but we are so not used to it that most of the time it's like, did he just say ?   But yeah, he's a smart one & a lot of people overlook the fact that HE understands what YOU say, HE just can't respond verbally.
