Straight From the Mouths of Kids

1. A nursery school pupil told his teacher he’d found a cat, but it was dead. How do you know that the cat was dead?’ she asked her pupil. Because I pissed in its ear and it didn’t move,’ answered the child innocently. You did WHAT?’ the teacher exclaimed in surprise. You know,’ explained the boy, ‘I leaned over and went ‘Pssst’ and it didn’t move’

2. A small boy is sent to bed by his father.

Five minutes later…..’Da-ad…. What? I’m thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water? No, You had your chance. Lights out. Five minutes later: ‘Da-aaaad….. WHAT? I’m THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water?? I told you NO! If you ask again, I’ll have to smack you!! Five minutes later……’Daaaa-aaaad…..’ WHAT! When you come in to smack me, can you bring a drink of water?

3. An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him ‘How do you expect to get into Heaven? The boy thought it over and said, ‘Well, I’ll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says,  For Heaven’s sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!

4. One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, ‘Mummy, will you sleep with me tonight?’ The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. I can’t dear,’ she said. ‘I have to sleep in Daddy’s room. A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: The big sissy.’

5. It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children’s sermon. All the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the minister leaned over and said, That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter Dress? The little girl replied, directly into the minister’s clip-on microphone, ‘Yes, and my Mum says it’s a bitch to iron.

6. When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, ‘Mummy, you are getting fat! I replied, ‘Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy. I know,’ she replied, but what’s growing in your bum?

7. A little boy was doing his math homework.

He said to himself, Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven.

Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine…. His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, ‘What are you doing? The little boy answered, ‘I’m doing my math homework, Mum. ‘And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?’ the mother asked ‘Yes, he answered. Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, ‘What are you teaching my son in math? The teacher replied, ‘Right now, we are learning addition. The mother asked, ‘And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four? After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, ‘What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.

8. One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part of the story where Chicken Little tried to warn the farmer. She read, ‘…. and so Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, ‘The sky is falling, the sky is falling! The teacher paused then asked the class, ‘And what do you think that farmer said?’ One little girl raised her hand and said, ‘I think he said: ‘Holy Shit! A talking chicken!” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

9. A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, I’m Mr. Sugarbrown’s daughter. Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, ‘I’m Jane Sugarbrown. The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, ‘Aren’t you Mr. Sugarbrown’s daughter? She replied, ‘I thought I was, but mother says I’m not.

10. A little girl asked her mother, ‘Can I go outside and play with the boys? Her mother replied, ‘No, you can’t play with the boys, they’re too rough. The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?

Abbott and Costello Learn Computers.

You have to be old enough to remember Abbott and Costello, and too old to REALLY understand computers, to fully appreciate this.

For those of us who sometimes get flustered by our computers, please read on…

If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, ‘Who’s on First?’ might have turned out something like this:

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests itself:

I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I head towards the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I picked up from the post man earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the recycling box under the table, and notice that the recycling box is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the recycling first.

But then I think, since I’m going to be near the postbox when I take out the recycling paper anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and notice there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the cup of coffee I’d been drinking. I’m going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the coffee aside so I don’t accidentally knock it over.

The coffee is getting cold, and I decide to make another cup. As I head toward the kitchen with the cold coffee, a vase of flowers on the worktop catches my eye — the flowers need water. I put the coffee on the worktop and discover my reading glasses that I’ve been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I’m going to water the flowers.
I put the glasses back down on the worktop, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote control. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I’ll be looking for the remote, but I won’t remember that it’s on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back where it belongs, but first I’ll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I put the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

The car isn’t washed.
The bills aren’t paid.
There is a cold cup of coffee sitting on the counter.
The flowers don’t have enough water.
There is still only one check in my check book.

I can’t find the remote.
I can’t find my eyeglasses.
I don’t remember what I did with the car keys.

Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I’m really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I’m really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I’ll try to get some help for it, but first I’ll check my email
