Out of the mouths of babes... 5

[SantaMufasa]

...come some mighty interesting, typically humorous (mis)interpretations of the English language.

While we were listening to my collection of classic Simon & Garfunkel, my four-year-old granddaughter asked me:

Grampa, did Parsley save Rosemary in time?

What other corkers have you heard that proceded from the mouths of your, or others', kids?

I may have mentioned in another thread/forum about my comedic-beyond-her-years granddaughter, Carolyn. Her humor often goes above the heads of even adults, at which time she smiles knowingly at me and winks as if to say, "Grandpa, the guy didn't get the joke because he's a brainless dolt."

But amongst my favorites from then-7-year-old Carolyn are:

Grandpa, each night I used to wonder where the sun went, then it dawned on me.

Gramps, I wondered why the Frizbee was getting bigger, then it hit me.

This one is kind of sad:

My niece has two little girls, the younger one has cancer. The older one (who is almost 6) is really good at making up rhymes on the fly. They were playing the other day in my mom's closet, pretending that they were going to sleep there and the older one started singing a lullaby to the younger something on the order of:

Litle sister lay down your head
I'll watch and make sure you're not...

At this point she stopped with a look of horror on her face as she realized where the rhyme was going. She quickly changed the subject of the lullaby and took it in a totally different direction (pretty smart for a 5 year old I think.)

SQLSister: Horrid.... funny, but horrid.

My sister, who is an AIDS patient, makes fun of her disease regularly. One of her favorite lines is when if you ask her if she's sure about something, she'll say "I'm positive."

When the teacher asked a friends son what his father did he said "He goes to work and breaks things." Puzzled the teacher made an inquiry of the parents. The father worked in material testing lab where by testing you "break" things.

My cancer treatments have turned up a few funnies from my grandkids: Prior to heading out to an appointment, my 4-year-old GDaughter, Aubree, and I had this conversation:

"Grampa, where're ya' goin'?"

"To my oncologist."

"What's a 'honk-ologist?"

Then later, one of Aubree's older siblings heard that I had to be "on call" over the weekend. So Zack asks, "Grandpa, does that make you an 'on-call-ogist?' "

On the -ologist note, there's a local driving school here called Driveology. Great name I think.

I didn't hear this one directly, think it was in Reader's Digest, but while watching a rugby match a young girl asked her father (to paraphrase):

"Daddy, why can't they have a ball each? Then they won't have to fight over it."

Annihilannic.

honk-ologist?" With the size of my nose, that's where I go when I get a cold. ;-)

Not exactly 'out of the mouth of babes', but close, I think, as a funny moment.
I earned my second degree black belt on Sunday. Yesterday, one of the kids to whom I teach martial arts goes "You leveled up! Grats!" and gives me a high-five.

I've never felt that nerdy in a martial arts uniform before
