The way children see things

    NUDITY
    I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a
    Woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark
    naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the
    back seat, "Mom! That lady isn't wearing a seat belt!

    HONESTY
    My son Zachary, 4, came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he'd
    dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the
    garbage. Zachary stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to my bathroom
    and came out with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming
    little smile, "We better throw this one out too then, 'cause it fell in the
    toilet a few da ys ago.

    OPINIONS
    On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a Note from
    his mother. The note read, "The opinions expressed by this child are not
    necessarily those of his parents."

    KETCHUP
    A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup to come out of the jar. During
    her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer
    the phone. "It's the minister, Mommy," the child said to her mother. Then
    she added, "Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's
    hitting the bottle."

    MORE NUDITY
    A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker
    room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing
    towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then
    asked, ! ! ! "What's the matter haven't you ever seen a little boy before?"

    ELDERLY
    While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
    shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds. The
    various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and
    wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring at a
    pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the
    inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth
    fairy will never believe this!"

    DRESS-UP
    A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her
    dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, "Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit."
    "And why not, darling?" "You know that it always gives you a headache the
    next morning."

    SCHOOL
    A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting
    my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write and they
    won't let me talk!"
