Found on the net..... :D

1) NUDITY

I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat, ?Mom, that lady isn?t wearing a seat belt!?

2) OPINIONS

On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from his mother The note read, ?The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.?

3) KETCHUP

A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone. ?Mommy can?t come to the phone to talk to you right now. She?s hitting the bottle.?

4) MORE NUDITY

A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women?s locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, ?What?s the matter, haven?t you ever seen a little boy before??

5) POLICE # 1

While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old.. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, ?Are you a cop? Yes,? I answered and continued writing the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?? ?Yes, that?s right ,? I told her.. ?Well, then,? she said as she extended her foot toward me, ?would you please tie my shoe??

6) POLICE # 2

It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me. ?Is that a dog you got back there?? he asked.
?It sure is,? I replied.
Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van. Finally he said, ?What?d he do??

7) ELDERLY

While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my 4-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!?

:) DRESS-UP

A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, ?Daddy, you shouldn?t wear that suit.?
?And why not, darling??
?You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.?

9) DEATH

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 5-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 Father, and unto the Son, and into the hole he goes.?

10) SCHOOL

A little girl had just finished her first week of school. ?I?m just wasting my time,? she said to her mother. ?I can?t read, I can?t write, and they won?t let me talk!?

11) BIBLE

A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
?Mama, look what I found,? the boy called out.
?What have you got there, dear??
With astonishment in the young boy?s voice, he answered, ?I think it?s Adam?s underwear!? :eek:

I still chuckle when I think about the story of when Paul Newman was in the company of a group of children at a function where his charity was contributing. When a child saw his picture on one of the jars of "Newman's Own", he asked Mr. Newman, "How long have you been missing?"

When daughter #2 was about 5 her Mom found her in the bathroom pouring her (Mom's) Chanel #5 into the commode.

When challenged, Alice pointed to the label. "It is toilet water, Mommy. I was only putting it where it belongs."

Edit: Before you ask, Alice could read when she was 4.

Re: Why do we love children?

These are great. When my daughter was 5-6 on a trip back from Florida to Indiana we had been listening to a Jeff Foxworthy CD. We had left the interstate and were driving the back roads of Georgia. We stopped at a country restaurant in Georgia for lunch. As you know children have one volume, loud. My daughter looks up and in her child volume asks "Daddy what's a redneck". The restauraunt got really quiet and we could feel the stares. Also I am not implying that people from Georgia are a redneck. Plenty would think I am.

Story number two. When my daughter was 4 -5 she was playing with her barbie dolls. She would never leave the clothes on her dolls. My wife walks in the kitchen where she is playing with the dolls. Ken is on top of barbie in the barbie bed and both are naked. My wife asks her what she is doing. To which she replies..."Its ok mommy Kens just getting some lovin". When she was little she used to come up to us and say she needed some lovins which meant she wanted a hug. That seams like yesterday she just turned 14 on Tuesday and my son will be 16 in February. Enjoy them while they are little they grow up fast.
