Do you know something funny that a child said and it wasn't meant to be funny?

I have a couple of them:

One day after coming home from church, my family went to my sister's for lunch. My little nephew asked his Uncle Jimmy what we were having for lunch. He replied "devilled egg sandwiches". My nephew winced back and asked "the devil DOWN THERE THE DEVIL"? 🤭
*. *. *. *. *

One day my nephew asked his Uncle Jimmy "How do you get to work?" He replied "In a carpool." My nephew asked "You mean you drive your car in a swimming pool all the way to work"? 🤗

“I don’t know why everybody wouldn’t want to be a cowgirl. They’re brave, they’re confident and they live their dreams.”

taking my daughters to the park after church. I sat down on a bench and my youngest was still walking towards me.

me: you look lovely today.

her: why, thank you. Would you like a pickle?

me: you have pickles in your purse?

her: of course!

”daddy, I want to be fat like you so I can swim in the deep end too.”

My friend's daughter was playing cops and robbers with her friend. She came up to me and said "you're under arrest for stealing fried chicken!" It was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing and she got pissed haha

My parents were Catholic and I was raised to be a good little Catholic and even attended Catholic grammar school, had First Communion, was an altar boy, and the whole nine yards.

My mom told a story about when I was very young. My skin browns easily and I spent a lot of time in the sun. One day, she held her arm up to mine and commented on the difference in color. I supposedly said very earnestly, "Yes, but I'm still a Catholic."

*************

I don't remember the details of this one, but here's the gist. On time in first grade, the teacher was talking about pets. She asked about collars and then asked how many of us had collars for our pet cats.
I said "No." When she asked why not, I said "Because we can't afford one."

The reason I said that was because, my mom would take me shopping and, like all kids, I would ask for stuff. If she said no, I would ask why. And her brush off was often, "We can't afford it right now." Instead of being an authoritarian and saying "Because I said so", she gave me a reason and I accepted it.

I didn't know anything about the value of a dollar back then.

I can only assume that I had seen cat collars at the store one day and asked to buy one for the cat, and my mom had given me that excuse just to shut me up.

My mom was tight with my teachers, so the teacher told her what I had said. The teacher was ROFL and my mom almost fainted from embarrassment.

My father-in-law was singing "Sing a Song of Sixpence" the other day, and my niece (8 y/o) says, "I know that song! It's from Cocomelon!"

She was SO confident about it but that song is like 150 years old. I said, "They might sing that song, but it has been around much longer than that show." She was adamant that Cocomelon had made the song up.

So now the joke in the family is whenever someone sings any song, someone else has to say, "That song is from Cocomelon!"

I don't know if this counts, but a couple of weeks ago, at the end of Mass, the priest was processing out. My two-year-old son yelled "bye bye, Jesus!" Then about two weeks ago, the priest processed out...

"Jesus aaaaaallllllll doooooooone!"

I took my nephew camping when he was about 7 or 8 years old. We went to a municipal park at the beach, Overnight, we were visited by the local gang of raccoons and he saw them fairly close-up. He went home after the weekend and told the family that we had been attacked by bears!

In the United States Navy, rank E3 is called a Seaman. It’s pronounced the same way as what you’re thinking of. So when I was talking to my then-six year old daughter about the submarine I was on, she asked me “daddy, you were a seaman in that big black thing”?🤣

My cousin's kid, about 30 years ago, went to a fast food place with his grandfather and the kid said that he wanted a "hangaburger'.

When my ex-sister was still a spoiled rotten little brat, there was a guy that lived next door where I am now and his first two names were Thomas Anthony and, sometimes his mother used to call him that but, that Jr. bitch used to call him, "Thomas answer me"!
