Kids Say The Darndest Things "Just Plain Fun"

A teacher one day decided she wanted to see what was on her small students mind and why , their answers are surprising , and their reasoning even more so .

*** "Are you having a good time today ?"

"Oh , Yes sir ,"replied a seven year old joyfully . "This is lots of fun ."

*** "What do you like about TV City ; the cameras , the stages and the lights."

"I like the blonde at the front desk ."

*** An older child with experience of the pitfalls (8-years-old) educational careers announced .

"If I could invent anything . I'd make some glasses with open eyeballs painted on them so you could sit in c lass and sleep and the teacher would think you were listening .

"*** An even craftier lad had a devious reason for wishing to be a snake. He explained .

"because if you poison people and you're a person they put in jail . But they couldn't put you in there if you're a snake because there aren't any snakes in jail ."

Pre-schooler's are completely delightful in their artless response to "if you could be questions" , here is a few that no grown-up could ever invent .

*** "I'd like to be a fish 'cause I like to wag my tail when I take a bath ."

If all else fails , here is the question that open the conversational floodgates of kids .

Little boy that's almost a successful invention .

*** I'm building a funny machine in my back yard so I can play jokes on people."

"How does it work?"

*** There's a wire that traps them and they fall down and are carried down a big moving belt that finally drops them into a black-hole where I take all their money."Another little dreamer had another fantastic pastime .
