Kids Say the Funniest Things

 

I've posted lots of jokes below, but here are some more links for you (I put new ones up every month and with my newsletter. You can subscribe here). 


  • When my cousin Danielle was coaching "Pee-Wee" gymnastics to 3 and 4-year-old girls, she was often in stitches recalling their antics. One day, she was greeted by a triumphant Shannon, galloping into the gym waving something in the air. "Look! See what I wrote in the car?" she cried, as she presented Danielle with a piece of lined paper with squiggles all over it. "That’s wonderful, Shannon," Danielle gushed. "What does it say?" Shannon rolled her eyes. "I don’t know. I can’t read yet."

 

  • I knew my housekeeping had slipped since my children were born, but I hadn’t realized how much until my aunt came for a visit. I took my 3 ½ year old daughter Rebecca to see her one morning at my mother’s house, and we arrived to find her ironing her clothes. Rebecca stared at her, dumbfounded. "What are you doing?" she asked. She had never seen an iron before.

 

  • When my sister-in-law Sara was five, her mother was teaching her how to cross a street safely. Hand in hand, they waited for the light to turn green. After staring at the road, Sara asked, "Mommy, what are those white lines for?". Her mother replied, "That’s to mark where the pedestrians cross." Confused, Sara asked, "But then where do us Baptists cross?"

  • A mother took her three-year-old daughter to church for the first time.  The church lights were lowered, and then the choir came down the aisle, carrying lighted candles.  All was quiet until the little one started to sing in a loud voice, "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you...."

 

  • A little boy walked down the beach, and as he did, he spied a matronly woman sitting under a beach umbrella on the sand.  He walked up to her and asked, "Are you a Christian?"  "Yes."  "Do you read your Bible every day?" She nodded her head, "Yes."  "Do you pray often?" the boy asked next, and again she answered, "Yes."  With that he asked his final question.  "Will you hold my quarter while I go swimming?"

 

  • The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention 
    in class. She called on him and said, "Johnny! What are 4, 2, 
    28 and 44?" Little Johnny quickly replied, "NBC, CBS, HBO, and 
    the Cartoon Network!"

 

  • When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for preschool, I 
    noticed an older woman hugging him as he left the house. "Is that 
    your grandmother?" I asked. "Yes, "Chris said. "She's come to 
    visit us for Christmas." "How nice," I said. "Where does she 
    live?" "At the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want her, 
    we just go out there and get her."

 

  • In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart that contained a 
    screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, 
    "Don't get excited, Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell, 
    Albert; keep calm, Albert." A woman standing next to him said, 
    "You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your 
    son, Albert." The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert.

 

  • This little 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!'"

 

  •  While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our 
    minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his 
    collar wilt. Apparently, his five-year- old son and his playmates 
    had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be 
    performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then 
    dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The 
    minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with 
    sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father 
    always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather. And to the sonnn......
    and into the hole he gooooes."

 

  • While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly 
    shut-ins, I used to take my four-year- old daughter on my 
    afternoon rounds. She was unfailingly intrigued by the various 
    appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and 
    wheelchairs. One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth 
    soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage 
    of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy 
    will never believe this!
