Out of the Mouths of Babes

Out of the mouth of babes, the truth shall seep...

This all happened in class during 'circle time'.

The Kindergarten teacher says, 'Today we're going to talk about what does your daddy do for a living',  all the children are raising their hands eager to tell what their father's do for a living.

One little boy says, 'my dad puts a suit on and takes the train to the city but I forget what you call that'.

Another little guy says, 'my daddy carries a gun, he's a policeman'.

One little girl giggles and says my 'my dad is a doctor and gets the babies out'.

And so it goes on and on..

Megan has this perplexed look on her face, you could see the puzzlement in her eyes...she finally blurts out 

I KNOW I KNOW, MY DADDY IS AN A*****E!!

Needless to say, we were hysterical,  trying to hold in our laughter but it was near impossible, she obviously picked up on the fact that this can't possibly be the right answer and changed her mind....

She said matter of factly...I think he's really a jerk-off. 

True story.  

Author's Note

We had a talk with her mom when she came to pick her up that day about watching what she says in front of the kids, she also has a toddler son at the center. She laughed her ass off. Her Mom is a teacher by the way and her father works on Wall Street. I'd have to agree with the child....

HA! I cringe when I think of what my 8 year old daughter hears sometimes, because, frankly, kimmer on the page is a whole hell of a lot like kimmer at the kitchen table...not a lot of censoring going on *laugh* She was raised on the F-word. (I know, classy, right?) ;-) Seriously, though, this is pretty funny. Thanks so much for posting it.

Hahaha, I'd love to hear what spills out of her mouth at school The kimmer ;-)

[KAOlmsted]

eesh...not I! She's probably all, "I have my f*****g homework right here...chill the f**k out, lady." :-D

[Frieda P]

haha I wouldn't doubt it, I had a three year old, no matter how many times we told me not to say that it was the same every lunch time...'f**k it, I'm not eating that' unless he got one of the gross lunchables... lol

Great story telling. This did justice in the realm of getting the message across. Great message. There's lot of times where a story can have a great message to aim for, and have a lot of under lining things but then no one gets it, and if no one gets it, then the point has failed. But in my opinion this did well to get the message across. You made it clear, which is why I think it's good. Keep up the good work. What was also great was that I could imagine the story as I read it, and that is also a strong point of stories. The ability to have the reader imagine it because after all we're reading not watching it, but it was as if I was there as I read this, and that is great. Great visuals and great story telling. It had plot and substance. When you add substance to writing it gets that much better. It gets the reader hooked on it and make them feel as if they are part of it. As long as their is that emotional connection between the reader and the story then it's good. The connection you were able to established in the writing gives the reader a sense of comfortably that they are in tune with the writing. So that way when the writing is over, the reader wants more, and wishes it didn't end. I feel the same way when I watched a movie or tv series that I get so attached to, I never want it to end. And for this writing, I didn't want it to end. You had me hooked, and I am sure everyone else who read it was hooked as well. That is good, that is what you want for people to keep wanting more. The way you put the story together makes me feel like my life is different for that moment in which I read your story. I love it, and it was beautiful. Just keep posting stories like this, and you'll have a good following.

what makes it all the more hilarious of course is that it came out of a kid's mouth. I love this.
come to think of it, maybe her dad IS an a*****e, after all.

[Frieda P]

Ha ha OMG reminds me of my own true story. Me thinks I can work it into a poem. And see, if there were any grammar errors I did not notice, and you still inspired me!

[Frieda P]

Oh Yay! You have no idea how many times this thought has brought me to laughter after so many years...ha thanks KL.

[Blue Ivory]

LOL that's hilarious! Kids say the funniest things sometimes -_-

[Frieda P]

OMG you had to be there, we laughed for days...poor kiddo. Thanks for reading, that's my extent of stories!

[Blue Ivory]

haha I've done some pretty dumb stuff as a kid myself though

[Frieda P]

Haven't we all, the best part is that we couldn't have agreed more with the kid! That made it even funnier....

[Blue Ivory]

Yep! I was watching this show on tv once, where this little girl broke a vase, but she wouldn't admit it. So her mom goes "What's the point in being a liar?" and she says "Aren't YOU a liar?"
Mom: No honey, I'm a LAWYER.
Kid: Harmony's mom says that they're the same thing.

[Frieda P]

Lol! ha, good one...I know a few of those, smart kid!

[Blue Ivory]
