Funny things kids say

[Rían]

My middle son said something really funny the other day, and there's a fair amount of parents on the Moot that hear funny things from their kids all the time, and we were all kids once anyway and said funny things, so I thought I'd start this thread to share funny things that kids say.

I was driving my 2 youngest home from a end-of-season pizza party for their older brother's football team. My husband had bought each of them a little penny prize from the little machine-thingy. My daughter ended up with a little fabric choker-style necklace (it's the type of necklace that goes snugly around your neck, as opposed to hanging down). She put it on and it was a little tight, and she said to her brother, "what if someone puts this on and leaves it on overnight and they grow overnight and get choked?!" He answered, "Yeah, you'd wake up in the morning and find out you're dead!"



Another one by my middle son - in the desert-y part of California, where I live, there are lots of black widow spiders. Now these are fairly poisonous spiders, altho usually not lethal except sometimes to small kids and babies, so I have really drilled them on what the spider looks like and to NOT ever touch it, but to call an adult to squash it. So my two youngest (they tend to run together!) found a black widow spider in a web right by the back door, and they called me, and I dispatched it to spider heaven. The next day, my son found another spider in the web. He called to me, "Mom! You know that black widow you killed yesterday? Well, you forgot her husband!"

The thing about these comments is that they make a lot of sense - that's part of what makes them so funny!
