I was in my friend's car with a load of other friends and her 3 year old sister the other day. The 3 year old was telling the story of Cinderella and was assigning characters for all of us (she was Cinderella, her brother was Prince Charming, etc). I asked "Can I be the Fairy Godmother so?" to which she replied "No, you can be the castle!" Everyone died laughing, and one of my friends said "Well at least you're not the pumpkin!"
A friend called in with her 16 year old daughter, we hadn't seen them for a while and the daughter had put on quite a bit of weight. We were very careful not to mention anything that was until my 6 year old asked her
"ARE YOU PREGNANT?? Ouch!!

My 11 year old son got a new bike and wanted a lock that didn't have keys.
I suggested a 'combination' lock instead and he said 'Yeah, great then I can write the number on the lock so that I won't forget the number'!!!!!

There is a Supermarket Ad on T.V telling customers that "If you shop here we'll make your money go further". (Think it's Supervalu)
My 12 year old son's understanding of 'make your money go further' was as follows :
"If they make the money go further and it leaves Ireland we're in big trouble coz we're nearly broke"

I gave my 1st class pupils an exam recently and in one of the questions I asked the children to draw a LINE under the square on the page. One child drew an animal under the square and when I queried why his reply was : "Miss you asked us to draw a LION under the square"!!

We had a baby girl in August and the 'baby''brought a present' for her 5 and 7 year old brother and sister. The 5 year old was delighted but the 7 year old looked a bit puzzled. When we asked her what the problem was all she said was " Where did the baby get the money to buy us presents?!! No answer to that!!!!
