At my fathers funeral they had a 21 gun salute.
My young nephew was all upset. "Why are they shooting at pop-pop in Heaven?"

Heard this second hand.
Years ago, when my niece was about two, she lived on a big cattle ranch way out in the middle of nowhere. I mean, Nevada...
Anyway, one day I get a call from her big sister. Apparently, that had been a day when the ranch hands butchered a steer, and my little two year old neice happened to be in the vicinity when they, well, sent the beast to heaven.
She stood there, looked at the steer for a minute, then said: "That cow has an owie."
Gotta love being raised by rednecks.

a .22 right between the eyes. I don't think they would have let her see anything more gory than that. Though if you're a city person, this whole story might seem morbid

Today, from LilMan: "I'm too old for toddler toys but too young to use a drill, so what am I supposed to do?!"
That is a poser

I was teaching my granddaughter to cross stitch. She asked me how old I was when I started, so I showed her a picture of me with the first picture I embroidered.
The next day we were out for a walk and she said she was very sad for me, because when I was little there was no colour in the world, just black and white.
This is the picture I showed her.

Aaww, that's cute Anna Marie
My son began swearing recently (my husband and I thought he was asleep when we were binge-watching an HBO series) and I told him to try to think of a nice word he could use instead of a bad word.
Later that day, he told me to "Knock it the snowman off!"

That is the cutest ting ever. So sad that you had to live in a black and white world!
That is hysterical! I love the picture of you. How wonderful that someone took a picture of your with your first embroidery project! You're adorable!
Actually, my mom saved all the pictures I sewed. They were nursery rhymes. And she sewed them into a quilt for me. I used it until I got married, then brought it with me. Years later, my second son found it (the dad of this granddaughter) and used it until it was beyond repair.
I'm quoting this old post of mine because I recently found out my daughter sang it this way because of the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs movie! I thought she was just singing it wrong but she heard it that way on the movie.My daughter, getting ready for school just now....
*Singing*
Sunshine, lollipops and bagels everyday.
*End Singing*
I can remember puzzling over this little conundrum myself as a young boy, and the funny thing is I grew up in a world where the polaroid camera was a new and amazing thing. I guess over time most of us forget how we secretly believe the world morphed into being the day we were born and will vanish with our passing.
Wait a minute . . .
From the Little Bit yesterday -
"Mommy! Don't eat my toes! They're just for looking at!"
(Context: I nibbled her toes after doing "This Little Piggy" for the 700 millionth time.)

Walking from baseball practice my son does a door knocking motion and then says "That's why I wear a cup" to a teammate's father.....
Boys, so much fun!

A colleague was once watching a documentary about snakes with his little son (don't know how old exactly at the time). At some point a snake goes in the water.
Son: "Dad, do all snakes swim?"
Dad: "No, only some snakes do that."
Son: "Oh, so that's a somesnake."

I'm watching my two youngest grandkids for a few days.
Both are in diapers...and both pooped. I changed the one at risk of leaking first.
When I took the boys diaper off, it was full. It said "this is like a mountain" He said "No! The bear climbed over the mountain."
After changing him, I was washing my hands, and he started singing "the bear climbed over the mountain.
For anyone not familiar, I'll put the words in spoilers.
And I asked him, "what did the bear see" and he replied "Nuthin! He hid behind the bush"

the bear climbed over the mountain! the bear climbed over the mountain,
The bear climbed over the mountain, to see what he could see.
And all that he could see, and all that he could see,

Had the same two kids here for a few days. One night dinner included potato salad which had a green onion cut into it. The one year old, dug the green pieces out, and wore them as rings.
I may have told this one before--if so, I apologize for the repeat:
When #1 son was about 5, he was telling me about this HILARIOUS movie he'd watched with his uncle (my brother) on a sleepover with Grandma. It was called Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (!), and it had the funniest character ever, named "Fat B**tard". He told me all about the character, and at the end of his story I gave him a gentle reprimand for language (hey, it wasn't his fault he'd watched a totally inappropriate movie. Stupid brother.): "That sounds funny, Josh, but you really shouldn't say that word. It's not nice."
He thought about it for a few seconds, and then said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I meant "CHUBBY B**tard."
*headslap*

You could've said, "I'll do better, I'll make a new tooth grow in its place!".
I was over at the kids one day and one of the grand kids came running in the house after getting home from school. She had a signup slip in her hand and said to me "Are you a parent?". Without missing a beat I said "No, I'm obvious.". She didn't get it but her mother spit out her coffee in the next room.
