Bottom of the News… Friday, May 2, 2008

Good morning my fellow Rotarians… Well, it was kind of a slow bottom of the news week and it’s been awhile since we have given a listen to some of the darndest things said by kids… So, here you have it, young wisdom out of the mouths of babes!

A three-year-old went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens. "How did you know?" his mother asked. "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the bottom."

Another three-year old put his shoes on by himself. His mother noticed the left was on the right foot. She said, "Son, your shoes are on the wrong feet." He looked up at her with a raised brow and said, "Don't kid me, Mom. I KNOW they are MY feet."

On the first day of school, the Kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers." A little voice from the back of the room asked, "How will that help?"

A mother and her young son returned from the grocery store and began putting away the groceries. The boy opened the box of animal crackers and spread them all over the table. "What are you doing?" his mother asked. "The box says you can't eat them if the seal is broken," the boy explained. "I'm looking for the seal."

My 10-year old says that people can predict the future with cards. Or at least his mother can. Really? "Yes," he says "she takes one look at my report card and tells me what will happen when my father gets home."

A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." His son asked, "Dad, what happened to the flea?"

A four-year-old girl was learning to say the Lord's Prayer. She was reciting it all by herself without help from her mother and she finished up by saying… "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some e-mail. AMEN!"

Yes, it is true most of the time, kids say the darndest things! And this is the Bottom of the News for Friday, May 2, 2008.
