FRIDAY

Did you, your kid, or someone else's kid say something way embarrassing or stupid stuff by accident? Type it up and send it in!

One time my friends son asked me if I was a fat person. I didn't really know what to say because I am. So he asked again.

Then his mom told him not to ask questions like that.

Here's a story my mother-in-law tells about my husband when he was a
little boy. They were sitting in the waiting room of a dentist's
office, and there was a large man in the waiting room as well. The
chairs were rather small and had arms, and the man was too large to fit
in one, so he was pacing around instead. My husband looked up at the
man and said loudly, "What's the matter? Can't ya fit?" My
mother-in-law was so embarrassed!

Another story she tells is that he found a comb in some public place,
and for some reason he wanted to play with it. She took it away and
said he couldn't play with it until she sterilized it. A while later,
he asked her, "Mom, did you paralyze that comb yet?"

Last week, I called home and my 3 and ½ year old son answered the phone. I asked, “What’s mommy doing?” What he meant to say was “Mommy is unscrewing the battery compartment on my toy dinosaur so she can change the batteries.” What came out was, “Mommy’s screwing the dinosaur!”

I said, “Hmmm. Well I guess I’ll call back.”

Man tOdd! When you asked for stories about kids saying the darndest things, I know you were talking directly to me! I work as an ESL teacher in Korea and I have kids saying weird stuff every day. Anyway, I'll share my two favorites so far.

I have middle school students and they like to ask me questions about all the bad words that they hear on TV. Since they don't really understand the English stuff on TV, they don't censor the bad words, so even midday, you'll hear cussing on the toob. One of my students asks me "Teacher, why is 'son of beach' bad? Beach is on the ocean!" I thought it was pretty funny.

The all-time best one though is when I walked into a room full of sixth grade girls and one of them shouts out "Teacher! Let's all sleep together!!" She meant that we should all take a nap but it wasn't quite the right wording.
