One of my favorite stories concerning my niece is more cute than funny. She was then 2 and we (her parents, my husband and myself) had just arrived back at their place. We all got out of the van and were teasing my niece by saying good-bye, pretending that we were going to leave her strapped in the car seat. She got pretty frustrated and yelled "Hey! I'm NOT laughing!!" We sure did!
Oh! I just remembered another one. My husband and I had her for the weekend. It was warm and the windows were down in the car. At a stoplight she looks at the driver in the next lane, starts shaking her little fist screaming "Idiot! Idiot!" The guy shot us a terrible look and drove off. When we asked her why she did that she said proudly "Daddy's not here, I can do it all by myself!"

My choir teacher had an interesting story to tell. Over Easter, he went to his fiancee's for dinner, and she has a really BIG family. Well, his soon to be four year old niece came up to him and hugged him around the knees. Then she stepped back and said "Your hair is weird" quite loudly. Not many overweight 26 year olds have bleached hair though.

If only Art Linkletter still had his show. With these stories, it'd have to come on HBO or Cinemax or something.
That first story about the butt wiping had me rolling around laughing, though. I'm looking forward to future stories in this thread.

gotta love kids. My sis taught me how to read when I was four. She came home from kindergarten, and taught me everything she had learned.
I babysat for one family for a long time. One summer, while at a parade, I ran into the mother and two sons. The eldest boy (at the time he was seven or eight) plopped down on the curb next to me, and proceded to spill out his train of thought, as he watched the firetrucks, horses, and floats pass by. When a clown came by passing out balloons, he informed me that he was the best balloon blower-upper ever. "Do you know why?" he asked me. I solemly informed that I didn't know. "Because", he explained, "my mom says I'm full of hot air."

When I finished kindergarten, my mom tells me that I thought I was finished with school and knew all I needed to know. When I had to go to 1st grade, she tells me that I said "What? There's more?" Imagine my surprise. 11 years later and I'm still not done.

Haha, these are great!
At the orthodontist's a nineteen-month old girl was with her mom, waiting on her brother (who was seeing the doc). As a woman in the reception area began to dote on her, the mom said, "Laugh for her, hon, will you laugh for her?" The little girl scrunched up her eyes, spread her mouth like a chimp and went, "heheheheheheheh" like a hienna, repetitively. (Hard to explain over internet, but QUITE hilarious.) Aparently when I was old enough to know I would not be given the delicious but bad-for-you chicken skins off of my parent's plate of fried chicken, I grabbed the skins from my grandpa and shoved all of them in my mouth at the same time.

ok, now everyone will think i'm weird, but...i could read by 2 1/2, at age 2 i would not stop talking unless i didn't trust the people around me. i didn't trust my doctor, and he wondered if i could talk. now, the wallpaper in that doctor's office had jungle animals on it, and my mom pointed to a hippo and asked me what it was (to prove i could talk). i said one word: hippopotamus.
i first read the Hobbit when i was 4. i never watched Sesame Street. i skipped first grade. now i'm a rabid Tolkien addict. the lesson here is, if you want your child to be a child prodigy, be prepared to house a rabid Tolkien addict later on in life.

Well I'm not one to brag but... since TinuvielChild is blowing her trumpet....
I learnt to read in Kindy too. Anyway, when I was a wee lass, a long, long time ago, my uncle and aunt used to take me out places, because I was a "lovely quiet child". Anyhoo, one of these occasions was the zoo. Apparently, I forevermore tarnished my "lovely quiet" bit, when I pointed to some chimpanzees making whoppee, and shouted: "WHAT ARE THEY DOING?!"

Roald Dahl? 6th grade reading level?! That's impossible! Those books are easy!
I'm not a child prodigy, I started to read late, but now I read more than my entire grade put together. Just goes to show that some people like to make up for lost time.

A girl I know mispronounced something while reading the Bible. I'm not going to say it here, but it was funny.

I had no clue that books existed until I was about 4. then, i read under the covers with a flashlight at night, and I was addicted to books. by the time I was in first Grade, I could Read novels, write stories, and was wroking on mastering the skill of Division. I didn't start really talking until I reached school age though, because my first language was American Sign Language, not English, and When I was little, I prefered to cmmunicate in sign
