Aside from being an exceptionally bright student as well as being involved in many school extra-curricular activities, my 6-year old son has a sense of humor that can rival any stand-up comedian. Interestingly enough, the funniest stuff that comes out of his mouth is when he actually did NOT mean to be funny.
Being the obsessive-compulsive parent that I am, I was able to capture some in writing. Enjoy reading!
On silent men (3 years old)
Ralph: Why does Daddy make grunting sounds whenever he talks to us? Doesn't he know how to speak English?
On shapes (4 years old)
Mommy Hailyn: Do you know the difference between oval and round?
Ralph: Yes. Mommy's face is oval and Daddy's face is round.
On firetrucks (4 years old)
Ralph: Why are firetrucks called firetrucks? Their trucks don't have fires in them.
On colleges (5 years old)
Uncle Heustein: Does anybody know where A-ma (grandmother) studied college?
Ralph: I do, I do. It's in UE.
Uncle Heustein: What does UE stand for?
Ralph: University of the ... Earth?
On music and lyrics (6 years old)
Mommy Hailyn: In the High School musical CD that's playing right now, we have some songs that are minus-one.
Ralph: What does that mean?
Mommy Hailyn: It means that they're same as regular songs but they don't have anybody singing in them.
Ralph: Oh, you mean minus-one-thing.
Mommy Hailyn: Err... right. (That sort of made sense.)
Yep, my son is a riot. Good thing he also does well in school or else I'll have to accept the fact that he'll earn his keep by cracking jokes in comedy clubs 10 years from now.
I'm still looking forward to more quips and jokes in the years to come.
