My DH wanted to try Steak Tartare (ground beef with a raw egg yolk on top). I was bottling potatoes with the skin, Then . he started worrying that our four kids would prefer theirs cooked, I said let's sit and eat, I'll cook them if necessary. The meal started, they looked at their plates, they looked at us , we were eating.Then the question came up "Are we going out tonight. A bit surprised I answered No . My daughter said , I thought you were in a hurry and didn't have time to cook the meal.

My oldest grandson (now 32) asked me when he was about 7 and I was 47, if I had electricity when I was a little girl. Love those grandkids!

My daughter , about 9 at the time overheard her little brother asking where babies come from. Before I had time to answer( I needed to think a minute or two on that one as we hadn't had that talk yet) she popped up with "the daddy puts his thing in the mommy and "shoots the juice to her and it makes a baby". I was dumbstruck!! ( Hope I didn't offend anyone here ) But the funniest thing she ever did was when she was two. (This was back in the day of padded bras and pointed boobs) We had a friend visiting with his girlfriend, I was meeting her for the first time. Well, said daughter got in her lap, poked the point of the boob and it stuck for a second or so, then POPPED back out. You could hear it!! Daughter thought that was so funny she just had to do it a few more times, and I LET HER!!

When my son was 2 (he's 3 now) and was taking a bath one night, he looked down, grabbed his little boy parts and said,"look Mom, a tail".

My niece, who just turned 5, knows she is not supposed to have pop. My sister, niece , mother and I were all out for lunch and my sister went to the washroom. My neice jumped up in her mothers chair and started to drink some of her pop. My mother and I said "umm you know you aren't allowed to have that" she just looked up at us and said "well We're not going to tell her now are we?" She was had just turned 4 at the time.

One day while driving in the car, we were talking about what she was learning about in school and she looked at me very seriously and said, "Mommy, how old were you when Abraham Washington was shot?" Gosh, so much for being a young looking 36 year old..... !

I know how you feel, remember I must look like I was alive during WW1...
:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
That daughter will be 28 in January.....I definitely must look like I date from the civil war! Ah well, you know what they say, the older you get the better you get...I figure I must be approaching magnificence...:lol:

Our granddaughter Sissy came up to me one day and said........

"Gramma, I didn't know Native Americans were human."

I asked where did she hear that, she said in school. I explained to her that not everything she hears or reads about Gramma's culture is true.

I have 2 children who were 6 & 8 at the time. One night we were flipping through the channels on TV. One channel had a pretty racy sex scene and I flipped past it. My daughter said, "Mom, did you and Dad ever do that?" Before I could answer, my son said "Well, they did at least twice!"

When my oldest son, now 25, was 5 yrs old he expressed a wish for a little brother. As time went on and I didn't be come pregnant he became impatient. He Looked at me one day and said "I want a brother!" I said "Dad and I are trying." He frowned and slapped his knee exclaiming, "Try harder!"

My very independent three year old declined gran's help to prove he was now a "big boy". His new cotton briefs had the usual front fold. He was determined to use it instead of pulling down his pants. Suddenly Mom heard him fussing while standing in front of the toilet...." I can't find it!" Mom was then horrified that he knew the right term for it.
