Here's one of mine...
When my sister was newly married, she was babysitting my nephew while his mom and dad worked. Christmas was just a few weeks away so she took him with her to get her husbands Christmas present. Well as soon as her husband learned that little Danny accompanied her, he started drilling the poor little guy to find out what she had gotten him for Christmas. He was so little, he was hard to understand. He told him "adun anadope". He looked up at her all confused. She laughed and said "he's telling you the truth". He repeatedly asked little Danny what did she get me at the store. For probably two weeks he asked and Danny always replied "adun anadope". He never could understand what he was saying. The families got together for Christmas Eve and he asked him again in front of all of us. But this time he answered "nuttin". She asked him to tell all of us what her husband was getting for Christmas and most of us understood what it was, but he still didn't. Well Christmas morning finally came and her DH was very surprised that he had gotten a new gun with a scope.

My parents were visiting us & they liked to go for rides in the country. My DD was about 6, I guess. We drove by an Amish farm where the farmer was working with a matched pair of horses. My DD pointed to them & said (to my Dad), "Look, Papa! Those horses are from the same litter!". Oh, we wanted to crack up but she was so serious so we waited till she wasn't around & then we all just split a gut! LOL!

That is adorable!! When we were 1st around our 1st GS we couldn't understand him but as time went by & around him more we could understand more along with other siblings it was easier. My 2nd GS would pronounce 'commode' as 'c-o-m-m-o-t-e-e' & last GD (she is now 7) would say 'pack back' for back pack & 'pupcake' for cupcake. They are so precious at those ages!! What a wonderful gift from God! They just grow up tooooo bloomin' fast!!!!

My daughter and I took my great grandson to the movies. He is 8 yrs old.
At the ticket window she asked for a senior ticket for me.
As we walked to go inside my grandson says, grandma are you in high school?

When my son was little, I would de-bone smelt for him after frying them up. (Now there's a fun job but that's what mothers do right?) For those would are not familiar with smelt, they are a small silver fish that kind of look like sardines. Anyhow my son was pretty small and one day he asked me "when are we going to have snout again?' Now I am a creative cook but I have never served SNOUT! After some further questioning we figured out he was wanting smelt again and it has been a joke every time I serve fish since.

When we first moved to Alaska...my husband went salmon fishing. This one trip he was going to be gone until the morning. During the night he came home earlier than he expected with lots of fish. Very early the next morning one of my young daughters got up early and when she came into our bedroom and saw the back of a mans head on the pillow she asked out loud "Is that daddy"?. You can imagine the look on my hubands face to ME. Of course it was her daddy, my husband!! I have been a very faithful wife these past 35 years and don't plan to change that!! The look on his face and probably mine was ...priceless!!

I have another one:
During another Christmas gathering, I was sitting on the couch next to my niece (then about 5). I noticed out of the corner of my eye that she was picking her nose. I tapped her on the side of her leg to distract her from what she was doing - to my surprise she quickly shoved that little treasure way up the other nostril. I looked at her and asked "Cheri what are you doing?" She, just as calm as can be, says, "Well it hurt over there, so I moved it to the other side." (Out of the mouth of babes...)

Recently, my dad was going out to eat with my DH and me, so he drove over and parked in front of our house. We told him we'd take our vehicle, which was parked in the driveway in back of the house. My dad said, "I have to get something out of the car, so I'll just meet you in front." DH and myself went out back, got in the pickup, and drove around to the front of the house. I happened to be fiddling with something in my purse, not looking up, so my husband said, "Hey. Look there." I looked up and there was my 91-year-old dad standing by the road with his thumb out, his leg cocked toward the road, and his pants leg pulled up to his knee! Even at 91 he's still got it!

Another story about DD... when she was little, she heard us talking about a neighbor who had Ahlzheimer's disease. But when she recounted the story to my DH, she told him the neighbor had "old timer's disease". We laugh about that to this day!

My daughter and I were going to the store and the 3 year old was in the back seat humming a little song when she pipped up and asked me if Jesus was really born in Oklahoma...........We never knew where that came from.
and my 3 year old and my husband and I were eating at KFC when a man stopped by the table and asked her if she liked fried chicken. She answered "yes but I only get the bones". You couldn't know I was over 200 pounds at the time and turned as red as their logo.
