I love things like this! I remember reading a book that Dick VanDyke put together in the '70s called "Kids say the funniest things" (or some such title) that made me laugh out loud
ReplyDeleteHaha! Cute!
ReplyDeleteHilarious, Bonnie! Number 4 reminds me of the first joke I ever learned---when I was four, I think. It was a riddle that asked, "Did all the animals come to Noah's ark in pairs?" Answer: "No, the worms came in apples."
ReplyDeleteAt four, I thought that was the best joke ever. :-)
Thanks, Beth. I got a chuckle out of that one.
ReplyDeleteHelen, you're too young to remember Art Linkletter, whose 1957 book was Children Say the Darndest Things. It was based on interviews with children on his TV show, way back before your time. Here's a clip showing some of the best responses from children: http://youtu.be/fCHIM-bGiTI. He also wrote Old Age is Not for Sissies, a 1990 book.
