Thread: Out of the mouths of babes...

Was in Hawaii some years ago sitting on a bench outside by the beach with my (then) four year old daughter eating ice cream cones when down the boardwalk came three HUGE black American ladies - I mean BIG. What folks down South call "church ladies". Straw hats, flowered skirts, the whole deal. My daughter is fixated. Locking in on them. I am more than a bit apprehensive, as my daughter is not shy in the least and, being from the Philippines, has never seen black people before. As they draw abreast, I cringe as my daughter says, 'Hi. You really need to go inside or get some sun block. You are REALLY burned!" Fortunately, they took it well, and sat down with my daughter and explained about different color people. They turned out to all be elementary teachers. Good thing they were nice, because I was seriously out of my weight class.

I was just explaining to Moonraker what Noods meant. Wasn't criticising you or where you'd posted the thread.

Not judging by your avatar . . . or is that not really you???


We had some friends from the US visiting us a while back, he is and she is Black. I've known her since my days at Northwestern and she has a very good sense of humour . . .

My eldest, who was ten at the time asked Monica (the black lady) how she could see her blackheads . . .



Yesterday my littlest one, 4, came up to me with a 'nice' picture she had drawn in caryon and told me that this was her new website. The webdesigner in picture:

^That's really me, but there were three of them........

^thats really you in your av ?? You told me once before it was not.....fess up ?

My son asked last night what does F U C K mean....he spelt it.

My 5yo daughter wanted to put puppy in the oven to make a hot dog.

Wuss . . . (I can say that because I'm invisible)

My daughter 17 speaks English but has never lived in an English speaking country.

We are watching some tv programme last week when they showed a scene of a Japanese underground train with a guard on the platform shoving people into an already overcrowded carriage, her to me "look Dad he's packing them in like Tuna!"

Bless.

had my neice's son (5 year old) with me when i had to visit someone . we were sitting out the back of his house and he was smoking a cigarette . suddenly he said to the guy " aren't you going to pass that around " pointing at the cigarette . "we pass them around in our house".

Last night....about 9.30 pm after a mud oven pizza hut party......

"if I don't eat for 1 week, will I die"........how cute.

Problem is it was my missus after a bottle of red.

I am sure she is a babe.

At the local temple a few days back for the merit making hoohaa and my 13 month old pointed at one of the monks and loudly referred to him as a 'doggie'..

I recall being in a supermarket shopping and queued for the checkout and had my two yr old sone Standing in the trolley. Ahead was a very fat and large woman in those towelling stretch shorts. She could have slotted in at Walmart no problemo.
My son turns to me and then points:
"Hey Dad. Look at that lady. Isnt she fat!"
She could've used me a a pullthrough.
But, she turned round, me sweating profusely, and smiled, saying:
"Yes. I am fat, arent I?"
Boy! Was my face red.

On ANZAC DAY 2006, during the minutes silence restless 3 year old girl yells out "Fuck off Mum, I don't want to shut up"

or of my Army mates very proud that his daughter spoke her first recognisable word "Fuckïng"

A niece recently watched a flypast with an aircraft dumping and burning fuel.

Later that evening she met a friend of her mother and proudly announced "Aunty Larn fixed those planes, that's why they're so noisy".
