My aunt came over today to pick some pecans. She brought her 3 year old grandson with her.

She started picking the pecans and said "Mason help me pick these pecans"

he replied "those ain't leprechauns".

The town I grew up in (Rock Hill, SC) has a bridge called Buster Boyd Bridge. Every year there was a big firework show that you could see from the bridge, and folks would gather on the side of the riverbank to watch.

I told my nephew, who was at the time about 5 yrs old (15 years ago) to get ready b/c we were going to "Buster Boyd Bridge"

He got all excited and went and told his mom "We're gonna go Bust-a-ball on uncle Matt's head!". [B)]
 
My son,5 years old, likes to eat "pigs in a blanket"(sausage wrapped in bread) that he and his brother(7 years old) made.
One saterday he took off running with a Pig in a blanket,warm out of the oven, to give to his brother. When he turned the corner the boy hit the wall with his shoulder and the sausage fell out of the wrapper. He picks it up and hands it to his brother and tells him "Dont shake it or your wiennie will fall out"
I had'nt seen what happened just heard him.... had a hard time getting that phrase out of my head.

I would have lost it and laughed histerically for several minutes, all the while confusing the poor lil feller making him wonder why daddy was laughing at him. That is just plain hilarious!
 
While riding around one day, my (then) 5 year old son saw some animals on one of the farms and rolled down his window and yelled "gobble, gobble, gobble". With no response, he said dad, they didn't gobble back. And I mananged to suppress my laughter long enough to say "son, that's because they're ostrichs"...........his response "oh yeah, turkeys are shorter"
 
My then 2 1/2 yr old daughter told me "to go to he$$" as she was running away from me when I told her to come here after she did something wrong. She said it in perfect contents. My wife was in the other room laughing. I asked what she said because I wasn't sure if she had said that. She repeated what I thought she said. I thought it was fun also but I didn't show that.

Bad sign of what is to come when she is 16.

Kids say the weirdest things but to them it makes perfect sense.

My oldest (now 21) was riding in the car with grandma. They had a quite early and active day, and Jacob was nodding off to sleep on the way home. He was complaining that "my head keeps falling off" !!

Some things will stick in your memory forever!
 
Both of my kids surprised me many times when they were young (and almost as much now that they have kids).

My son was pre-school age and we were living in military housing in New Orleans. I listen to a lot of country music so wasn't surprised to hear Gabe singing along with the Alabama song "If You're Gonna Play in Texas". Then I listened closer and heard him tunefully state..."If you're gonna pay your taxes you have to have a little in the bank." I was so proud he understood economics - ya gotta love PBS!

Later my daughter picked up on the fact that I have always been a bit of a stickler for proper grammar (unless you are purposefully ignoring the rules to be creative). I had taught her the Roger Miller song that states "I'm a nut, I'm a nut, My life ain't never been in a rut...". One day, while driving around she began to sing the song for the first time on her own. Again this is pre-school age. She sang it to the note, never missing a beat as she corrected the grammar to sing "My life hasn't ever been in a rut".

Now that ain't country but its dang smart!
 
My wife and I like to tell our 3 year old daughter what we were doing when we were little. So every now and then, I'll get a comment from her that starts with:

Daddy, when I was your age....

Priceless [:D]

That is what you call "wise beyond his years". I love it!!! (I have a feeling I am going to use that lil story as a sermon illustration next time I preach on Matthew 22:21, "Then He said to them, "(A)Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."
