Kids Say the Darndest things...

[LouNY]

I raised 5 daughters as a single parent, a few of the girls joined the volunteer fire department as junior members.
One night after a drill one of them when she was 12-14 years old asked me how they decided what piping parts
were male and female.
How do you explain that to a flock of girl kids? :confused2:

Now that's funny! I raised two girls, but had Sharn Jean to help with most of that stuff. She told me when she was explaining to my youngest daughter about menstruation, she came back with "Why do they call it a period? Why don't they just call it a dot?"

"Seriously dad, I found that beer can (quarter full, still lower temperature on the can and beer still inside the can from the outside air temperature) out back behind the house"...

My boy wasn't drinking, but apparently he was the runner. My mother always told me I would get mine some day. It's been here...

Yes, my 87 year old dad still has beer in the fridge. Sad day when you got to worry about your grandkids.

That said, growing up myself, in my sons defense, I'd be lying if I didn't say I didn't steel a beer from time to time (BUT... if I got caught, I generally owned up to it).

There but for the grace of God go I...

MIght as well lock the thread, that one will never be topped!!

I agreed with you when I read that; yet just a little further down it becomes obvious that we both are wrong.

Told from my best friend who was at a bank with his older brother who has brain cancer. He was wearing a protective headwear since his surgery where they removed part of his skull.

There was an unruly kid who was running all over the place, tugging at the line chains, etc all the while his soft spoken mother, standing in line behind my friend and his brother, tried her best to contain him when he stopped and observed the contraption on my friend痴 brother.

展hat happened to you? he asked unapologetically.

的 didn稚 listen to my mother years ago

The boy never left his mothers side from that point on.

This one might be unstoppable! :thumbsup:

My eldest as a teenager "I have wisdom beyond my own belief" To complete the image he had the plastic cone on end of miniblind cords on his eyes.

So, I was in Sam's club earlier today picking up a few things. Passed a young mother and son who was around 4yo. Mother was in the lotion and soap section and was giving a bottle of lotion the sample test like most women do, checking for smell and whether it's greasy or not.

Just as I was passing the little boy in the cart he makes eye contact with me. Points at his mama and with a loud voice says "She's stealing stuff!!!!".

The poor mama turns about as red as a fire extinguisher and starts stuttering so bad, trying to get out the fact that she was not stealing anything. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Driving to dinner with my 87 year old father with my two 14 year olds... (they now want to look for jobs for a car so they can drive when they're able...)

Me - "I could let you work around the house for 8 hrs a day and pay you $20 per day as long as you work a full 8 hrs for the summer".

My one boy - "geeze dad, that's pretty nice of you, what's that, about half of your pay?"

I asked my one how kids can drive such nice cars to school and he told me that either parents or relatives usually buy the car or it's their parents car.

As hard as I am on my boys, sometimes I think I'm doing things right LOL

Yes sir, your doing it right. About the time our youngest was learning to drive, her friends parents took out a car loan for the friend. Bought her a late model camry. The camry was tore up pretty good because the kid wouldn't take care of it since she didn't have any skin in the game.

We made my step daughter save up her money and then we matched it up to $2,000 for a car. Then we went car shopping. Found her a decent late model car and paid $5,000 cash for it. Daughter had to work, and pay the insurance on her car. If she didn't pay it or work it off, the car got parked.

Daughter was so so about keeping up with her insurance till she fot a couple months behind and had the car towed from the school parking lot :laughing: talk about one freaked out and then ticked off girl when she came out of school and her car was gone Had it towed to the house, then I put the car on blocks and locked up the tires This way she couldn't stop by and get the car while my wife and I were gone.

She had to get her insurance caught up before I put the tires back on it. She was never late on another payment though

That reminds me of the guy that put a coma long on his son's S-10 and hoisted the rear end up a tree in the front yard where his friends could see.

Finally got through to our daughter, she got a 'cop magnet' Holden Commodore (Chev) supercharged, lowered with low profile tyres, we gave her my wifes Huyundai i20 and she is amazed at how much fuel it doesn't use.
She gave me a lift to pick up my car one day in the other one, it was less that a mile away and when we arrived I had a sore back and a headache from the noise.
When you see one of these on the road they seem to scream 'pick me' to the cops.
