When my kids see something and ask me what it is, I always ask them what they think it is, before I tell them.
Recently, I've had some good laughs because of it.
My kids' preschool/afterschool had a flu vaccination clinic recently, and to make it as positive as possible, they used FluMist (an inhalant) rather than the usual flu shot. The kids would go in, get their temperature taken with an ear thermometer, have the medication sprayed up their noses, and get a sticker and a cookie after it was done. My oldest son asked me what they were doing (after the fact), and I asked him "What do you think they're doing?" He responded that he got a sticker and a cookie for being good while the lady looked at his brain and then washed up his nose.
At our local supermarket, the seafood department has a tank with live lobsters in it. My youngest asked me what they were, I turned the question back to him, and he replied "Big BIG grasshoppers!"
Any similar stories from other moms?

I have a couple of stories, not quite the same but cute. When I was preg with my 3rd child my oldest was 5.5. Our neighbor put up the American Flag for Labor Day. He was curious about it and when she asked if he knew what Labor Day meant. He thought a couple minutes and said, very seriously, "is that when all the mommy's go to the hospital to have thier babies?" She laughed and laughed, pretty smart kid, huh?

How cute! I often wonder what I would do for entertainment without my son...
He's 2 1/2 and we were coloring with crayons one day. I drew a smiley face and asked him what it was. He said, "A porcupine." Honestly, I didn't think I was THAT bad an artist! So, to help him out a little, I drew on a spiral of curly hair, and looked to him for his answer, "A porcupine telephone!" Okay, so the hair pretty much looked like a telephone cord, maybe I'm a terrible artist after all...
Great question!

Hahahaha! So funny! My son is still trying to master the art of speaking the English language. On Thanksgiving my 2 year old farted and everyone started to laugh, he pointed at my husband and said "dada", and walked out of the room. We were rolling with laughter.

Love the question!
And sorry. Not a mom yet. But something I remember from when I was a child. I used to think that babies came out of mommies' tummies through belly buttons :)

Honestly, what would we do without our kids?
A few months ago I took my boys to have a look around their future nursery, and after we retured home, one of them seemed less than enthusiastic about going. I talked to him about it for a while and the basic gist of his questions was why did he have to go. I asked him what he thought, and whether he had any idea why he had to go, and he answered 'because if you go to nursery then you can be a doctor.'

those are cute we make it a point to never lie or tell our child that something is something else he knows what a shot is and even showed his doctor where to put it. he has no fear of needles he is a weird child. he told the doctor at his last shots visit they go here pointing to his leg and said get it over with i have places to go and people to see and your only one stop on my list baby. she cracked up. brain washes is cute too
