Funny things kids say…35

My younger brother once asked my dad not to turn off the lights in his room, because he couldn’t see ‘how’ to go to sleep in the dark.

‘Hi grandma!’ A little boy greeted his grandmother excitedly. ‘It’s so good to see you! Now, maybe dad can do the trick that he’s been promising us.’ The grandmother was curious and so she asked, ‘What trick is that?’ ‘I heard him telling mum that he would go over the wall if you came to visit!’ the little boy answered.

My niece, Joy, insisted for several years that it is the underbrella that you take with you when it is raining. He also referred to the binoculars, as the beach-lookers when she couldn’t think of the actual word. She continually said, ‘Biba’ after every meal instead of ‘shiba.’ She also said that she wanted ‘pipo’ when what she really wanted was ‘chips.’

A mother asked her daughter what the strip in the middle of the road meant. After thinking for a little while, she replied, ‘For bicycles.’

3-year-old John once heard his mum telling a friend of hers that his grandmother could be ‘a real pushover sometimes.’ The next day when John’s mother asked him what he wanted to do, he said, ‘Well, let’s go downstairs and push over grandma!’

‘They’re busy.’
‘Oh. Is anybody else there?’
‘The police.’

‘Can I speak to them?’
‘They’re busy.’

‘So let me get this straight—your parents, the police, and the firemen are there, but they’re all busy? What are they doing?’
‘Looking for me.’
