| Kathryn's 5-year-old developed a strong interest in spelling once she learned to spell STOP. After that, she tried to figure out her own words. From the back seat of the car she'd ask, "Mom, what does FGRPL spell?" "Nothing," Kathryn said. Sitting at breakfast she'd suddenly ask, "Mom, what does DOEB spell?" "Nothing," Kathryn answered. This went on for several weeks. Then one afternoon as they sat coloring in her room she asked, "Mom, what does LMDZ spell?" Kathryn smiled at her and said, "Nothing, sweetheart." The 5-year-old carefully set down her crayon, sighed and said, "Boy, there sure are a lot of ways to spell Nothing!" |
| After a family meal one night, three generations of the family are sitting around chatting. Jenny, a four year old, is sitting on her grandfather's knee. Jenny: "Grandpa, can you make a noise like a frog?" Grandfather: "What?" Jenny: "Can you make a noise like a frog?" Grandfather: "Why do you want me to make a noise like a frog?" Jenny: "Well, last night Daddy said that when you croak we can all go to Disneyland." |
| One day a guy was driving with his 4-year-old son and beeped his car horn by mistake. He turned and looked at him for an explanation. He said, "I did that by accident". He replied, "I know that, daddy". He replied, "How'd you know?" The boy said, "Because you didn't say ASSHOLE afterwards"! |
| Little Johnny runs down the stairs in tears. His mother asked, "What's the matter now?" "Dad was hanging pictures, and just hit his thumb with hammer," said little Johnny through his tears. "That's not so serious," soothed his mother. "I know you are upset, but a big boy like you shouldn't cry at something like that. Why didn't you just laugh?" "I did!" sobbed Johnny. |
