When our son was about 4 years old, we drove downtown and my son noticed several stray dogs roaming the streets. He had never seen dogs roaming like that -- not in back yards or on leashes or with an owner.

He asked me about them and I explained how sad it was that they did not have owners to take care of them. Then he asked, "Mom, you don't happen to know the NAMES of those dogs, do you?" when I answered, "No," he said, "I didn't think so."

One of my Mother's favorite stories to knock my brothers down a few sizes in thier big britches is to tell them about the phone call she recieved one day from the neighbor lady about the rockets that they along with my 2 cousins were launching in the back yard. You guessed it Tampons. A whole bow of 40 gone in an effort to go to space. :lol:

For some reason, when my daughter Barbara was very small, she liked to wear her slightly older brother's "big boy underwear" (with the cartoon characters, etc.) on her head. She's now 30 and I think is very embarrassed that her brother posted that picture on his Facebook page!

Once when my daughter was 4 or 5 we were driving along and I could see the truck in front of us had a couple cows in an open trailer in the back. At the stop sign I pulled up along side the trailer and and rolled her window down. She looked out at the cows and yelled out, "I like milk...2%!"

Like the cow needed to know that! It was hilarious and I still get a big chuckle out of it 25 years later.

My mom has a picture of my younger brother with his hair in curlers (because he wanted what I had! Silly boy!) sitting on the toilet, with a book he was "reading" upside down on his lap!
I think he was 3 or 4. Whenever it gets brought to mind, I wish I had my big sister hands on it. :twisted:

Why have kids if you can't mess with them?

My DD, Amanda, is the mother of 5 children. It was her turn to pick up the kids from school. She loaded all the kids in the van and proceded to go home. She asked my oldest grandson, Noah what went on in school that day. He was so excited..he said, "Johnny gave me a "bullet" and he said I could keep it in my pocket!" My DD said, He gave you"What?"...at that point she had yanked the car safely over to the side of the road, thinking all the time of the stupid parent that would alllow ammo to be around little kids...what piece of her mind she was going to give that irresponsible adult!! At that moment Noah pulled out of his pocket a Super Tampon and said..."Look how BIG it is Mom!!!" He was so very proud to get his hands on a real bullet! The other kid's mom called them bullets and oviously neither one of the boys had a clue what they were for! Amanda had Noah step out of the van and she took a photo of him proudly displaying his trophy "bullet"...Yep...we will see that photo again when he gets married, at the reception!

Years ago I read a hint that said to put sugar on your tongue if you burn it. (It works!) I shared that information with my children. Some time later, we were traveling in the car (DH driving) and I spilled hot tea on my leg. My daughter, age 9, said, "Quick, Mom, put sugar on it!" Children do listen sometimes, sort of.

My memory isn't so good these days but I remember that from 21 years ago.

When my oldest son was 4 (he is 37 now!), we were moving to northern California from southern California. It was a VERY long drive, DH insisted on driving straight through.... we were all in the moving truck about 18 hours. As the time moved on closer to midnight, Tommy asked.... momma when will we get there.... so I in my innocence said.... just after these mountains honey.... about 2 more hours. Tommy peered through the windows up ahead to the winding forested highway. Momma, he said... are they taller than the "Vampire State building??". I laughed so hard I almost wet myself.

I can add to the Canadian geese experiences:

When my older son was about three he called me to the window, hopping up and down excitedly and shouting: "Mum, Mum, look! Canada Geese!" ............ A couple of elderly pigeons were having a rest on the grass outside of our house. :)

When my Granddaughter Emily was 3 she came running in from the back yard all excited "Gramma, come quick there are lots and lots of Walmart butterflies in your yard!" You see I had just the day before told her to look outside and keep watch for the Monarch butterflies that were migrating through the area....out of the mouthes of babes! The chuckle was loud and long!

Another time at about that same age I had taken her outside at dusk to watch the Canadian "honkers" go overhead on there way to their sleeping grounds every night. Sure enough they came over head and she was enthralled with the loud honking they made as they passed overhead, she then ran into the house and told her Mom and Grandpa that they had missed the Canadian "hooters" and that was too bad cause she loved them!! I don't know who laughed the hardest...Mom or G-Pa!

This is the story of my brother and my grand daughter on mom & dads 50Th anniv. The cake was beautiful and Shelby thought so too, she kept trying to get her fingers in the frosting, Bob kept catching her, now remember she is only 3 yrs old.

Bob told her to keep her fingers out of the frosting and said to her remember I`m the mean uncle Bob
Shelby said then you need to go home

10 minutes later Bob caught her again but this time Shelby had a fork not her fingers

Bob said do you want my hand on your butt
Shelby said no I want cake on a plate

How is that for a witty 3 yr old
