Kids saying things that are beyond their years

I can't wait till Ophelia gets all philsophical on us.

When I was 5, I asked my dad if it wasn't better to have not lived at all rather than live a horrible life.

My 2-year-old nephew recently asked my sister if he could be fed up when was older.

not exactly the same thing, but I used to work at a children's summer camp, and one summer, there was this 5-year-old kid in my group whose voice and manner of speaking made me think that he must spend a lot of time around old jewish people. the best example of this was when the kids started talking about poop (of course). his contribution to the conversation: "at home, I have a mouse; all the time, he is pooping!"

My friend was explaining to her 8 year old son about how "Sussex" and Essex" are contractions of "South Saxony" and "East Saxony." The 8 year old noted that there is no "Nosex" because "who'd want to live there?"

He was probably just thinking that no one would want to live in a place where no one could have babies, but it was still funny.

all the time, he is pooping!"

lolol

Again with the pooping.

When I stupidly forgot to bring money to pay Tire Kingdom for doing emergency repairs on my wife's car, I was frantically searching for an ATM to get cash. From the backseat, my (then) 4 year old daughter said: "This is so embarrasing."

I was a summer camp counselor for years. One of my favorite kids ever was a little boy named Andrew who looked like a mini John Lovitz. He came in really early one morning and when I pointed this out, he turned to his Dad and said, "Tony, Tony, Tony. I told you not to walk me up so early. Did I not?" Andrew was four.

AWESOME.

I found a very erratic but largely accurate map of the lower 48 Unites States I drew at age 5. (There was a lot of space between state boundaries.) The best thing was I'd drawn huge red letters X over Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. I KNEW EVEN BACK THEN.

"I'm tired of having fun.....and other people make me sad because they don't do what I want them to."

Autumnwatch, last year, the mating of Stags. One w/massive erx, mounts.

Amber (eight then), "Well, he got that RIGHT in there, no problem!"

According to a story my mum always tells, when I was about four we walked past a big fat guy in the street and I said, loudly, "WHAT A VERY STOUT MAN". I think I read too many old timey kids' books for my own good

My daughter Rhian was explaining to me that lots of people have trouble pronouncing her name correctly, and she often gets called all sorts of variations (Rhiannon, Rihanna etc etc), and said "my French teacher has spent the entire year calling me "Rhino". It's lucky I don't have a body image problem, or that could have been seriously upsetting"

RhinoRhian, yesterday...

My Mom take me out Friday. And take her up the house, at the valley. I go to school. I go catch the bus. Everything.

EVERYTHING!

When i was about three, i was in a black cab with my parents and my sisters one night and i said to my dad, "You MUST have three balls because you've got three children!"

I'm still convinced that's how it works, ergo BEYOND MY YEARS, BITCH.

HE STARTED WITH SIX, YOU KNOW!

Babysitting my ex-boss' son many years ago, he knocked something off my coffee table as his dad came to pick him up, and boss said to son, "Adam, what do you say?"

"I'm sorry, Aimee," says the 4 year old, "I've been negligent."

At a party this weekend, my 2-year-old said to Donald, Beth Parker's husband, "Oh, hi, Donald. Is that a new shirt?" as if he were just making casual party talk. My kids are always saying things beyond their years. The other day I asked Rufus (4) what games a friend of his likes to play. He said, "Mamma, I don't think I should tell you about what Tyler likes to do. That's his own private business."

specifically, this entry:
Clayton

The baby kitten watch TV with me. And baby kitten go in a pumpkin and bust 'em up. The baby kitten play with me. And then when I lay down he step on my face. The baby kitten ride with me on the roller coaster and I cover him with the blankets; he was dying but he's still alive.

An eight year old calling his friend a slang word for "prostitute".

It's noon, and the children of $JEWISH_PRESCHOOL are leaving with their parents.

MY MOM: Okay, E___, we've got to go. Say 'goodbye' to Robert.
ME: Okay! See you later, asshole! :D
MY MOM: omgwtf

Today Rufus (4) took the baking soda out of the fridge, pointed to the arm and hammer picture and said, "This is the picture I see of God. This is what I imagine he looks like."

RUFUS OTM

Is it the canonical "Canon in D Major"?
