Kids.......gotta love them

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright
freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get
their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws.

"You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint!" a in the line
said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His
grandmother knelt down next to him. "I love your freckles. When I was a little
girl I always wanted freckles, she said, while tracing her finger across the
child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful!" The boy looked up, "Really?"

"Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier
than freckles." The little boy thought for a moment, peered
intensely into his grandma's face, and softly whispered, "Wrinkles."

A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was
like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it
hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries
in the woods." The little was wide-eyed, taking this in. At last she said,
"I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, Grandma, do you know how you and
God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we
alike?" "You're both old," he said.

When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied "I'm not sure."
"Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised."Mine says I'm four"

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to
discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her
what it was. Susie raised her! hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not
take the covers off thy neighbor's wife,"

Our five-year-old son Mark couldn't wait to tell his friend about the movie we
had watched on television, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." The scenes with the
submarine and the giant octopus had kept him wide-eyed.
In the middle of the telling, my husband interrupted Mark, "What caused
the submarine to sink?" With a look of incredulity Mark replied, "Dad,
it was the 20,000 leaks!!"

A second grader came home from school and said to her mother "Mom, guess what?
We learned how to make babies today." The mother, more than a little surprised,
tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting," she said, "How do you make
babies?" "It's simple," replied the . "You just change "y" to "i" and add
"es".
(Why wouldn't an English teacher love that one???)

" Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy
wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad
aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. Sure,"
said the young boy confidently."It means carrying a child."

A grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning. He
had made her coffee. She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her
life. When she got to the bottom, there were three of those little green
army men in the cup. She said "Honey, what are these army men doing in
my coffee?" Her grandson said, "Grandma, it says on TV, "The best part of
waking up is soldiers in your cup!"

A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one
day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck
was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use
him to keep crowds back," said one youngster. "No," said another, "he's just for
good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close...."They use the
dogs", she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrant."
