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

All I can say is LOL O_o

[Frieda P]

I still laugh out loud whenever I think of her. Thanks!

[kublakhan27]

Haha how could you not? :D You're welcome :)

haha very nice funny story. kids are too inocent to hide the fact. but unlike you, i dont think those who work in Wall Street are the reason of your anger of Wall Street politics, those people are just clerks doing their jobs, if you were working there, would you leave it? the main reason is the politicians who run it not the simple clerks who have to work in it..but i really really loved the story..

I like the story. Kids will tell you the truth. Even when you don't want to hear. Thank you for the excellent story.

Kids can be too honest sometimes!

[Sheila Kline]

This is absolutely adorable..........I can just imagine how shocked the mother was!!
Thanks for sharing. It is good to laugh!!

[Frieda P]

I think we were a helluva lot more shocked than she was, she laughed it off, said 'well, that's what I call him'....
