My friends next door were going to Savannah for Saturday and Sunday
So as they were loading the kids in the car
I was working in the yard taking our a tree so I walked over to tell them to have a great time.
They have 2 boys 4 & 7 who I know very well.
I told them you are going to have such a good time is there room in the car so I can come too?

The 7 yr old looked at the space in between him and his brother looked at me and said with this very serious look on his face
"well you are very dirty Karla so you would have to take a bath first and get clean then maybe there would be room"

His parents and I almost fell over trying to keep from laughing.

Last week while I was at school teaching my "2nd grade Tuesday butterfly garden class"
I had the kids work on the "hugs cards" we are sending the other teachers son who is stationed in Iraq.
The kids have to trace their hands on the front of the cards, So I told them that if they had any issues with tracing their opposite to ask and we will help them.
At one table half the kids had their hands raised, so as I am going around helping them one little girl looked at me and said very matter of fact
"Ms Karla I have no issues"

I suddenly found a reason to have to go out of the classroom because I couldn't hold the laughs in

Ya gotta love 7 year olds

what priceless gems have you heard recently

p.s. I didn't put this in parenting because not all of us that have kid encounters are parents

The other day on the way home from catholic school kindergarten - my 5 year old piped up from the back seat, "Mommy - what's an eye gift?" I had her repeat herself 3 times and then asked her to use it in a sentence.
"Bless us o Lord for these 'eye' gifts which we are about to receive...."
I lost it!

lol love the bears
she sounds precious give her a big cd hug

I think the hardest part is the laughing because you don't want them to think we are laughing at them. But there are times when you just can't "run out of the classroom "

a couple of months ago my youngest son was at the dinner table just acting up and goofing off.....after speaking to him a few times I said "Jake you need to stop....you're really pushing your luck. Don't say another word!" After about 10 seconds he opens his mouth to speak and I said "nope", he tried again and I said "nope"...."but mom can I just...." "nope"....then all of a sudden he just burst out with "but luck is an inanimate object--you can't push it!!" and starts laughing!........lol.....he's 9.

I was at my brother's house drawing pictures with my nephew when he just had to show me what he drew..it was a big circle with a little circle on top...two lines on each side and two lines sticking out the bottom and one really long line coming out the middle.....so being the good Aunt I figured out the head arms and legs but for the life of me I could figure out what the middle line was....silly me asked...
"My penis" was the answer....after I pulled myself up off the floor...I asked him "isn't it a little ummmmm long?"
Nope.....Daddy says I'm just like him so I must have a "big 10-inch".
I hit the floor again!!!!

So began the days when my brother had to watch what he said around his son.

OMG, that is hilarious

I always buy those long lighters for lighting fireplaces ~ and always the ones with the child safety locks on them. So my kids were trying to light a candle with one of them (i was watching of course) and they asked my why it wasn't working, I took it from them lighted the candle and told them "it is childproof". they went off in the other room and they were discussing this child proof thing amongst themselves, then my daughter came out and asked me "mom, how does the lighter know that were kids?"

My daughter came home from school one day and asked me why our country gives liver, tea, and justice to all. It took me a moment, but finally I realized that she got it from the Pledge of Allegiance. Kids, you've got to love them.
