Kids Can Be Funny Without Even Trying
Vykin | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 08:14 am  Okay cellmates, surely you've heard of funny stories about kids, or had your own kids say or do silly things. Post them. I getting tired of being the only one posting real life funnies, and you guys getting away with someone elses jokes at the Improv! SO START POSTING!  |
Vykin | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 08:31 am  Okay Vyks if you really insist A friend told me this one this morning: Conor was at my mothers last week and he noticed she doesnt have a lot of grey hair. He says to her - "My mother must have been a good kid!" Grandma says "Why?", He says "Because you dont have a lot of grey hair, My mom has a lot of grey hair and she said she got it all from me!" Another Conor Story: My friend and I were talking the other day about immigration, to which I said, "its really good when young kids can access grandparents who have immigrated - it helps build their value system and respect for their heritage". My friend Case responds, "Yeah, Conor, (who is 9) had to do a report on immigrants to USA. I suggested he ask his grandma" (Grandma immigrated from Ireland). I say, "That's great!" Case retorts back, "Yeah, well you no what my mom told him to write??" (Case's mom is in her early 80s) "What?" Grandma said this: "Conor, here is how it happened, I took an airplane from Ireland to NewYork, I caught a taxi, and went to a hotel where I lived for a month before I found an apartment" End of Story (Case suggested to Conor perhaps he should speak to his other grandparents. Thinking of Case's Mom reminds me of the first time I ever heard of Grandma. It was during the OJ Trial Days. Case was heavily involved in debating the trial, as were the rest of us. Mom had just purchased her first computer, in her mid-late 70s (you do the math). Mom is excited, finally gets to "surf the wave to the future my man!". Case is giving directions to Mom on how to get to the OJ CourtTV chatroom. We all await, (about 50 of us in the room), "Mom's" arrival. An hour goes by nothing, another hour, still no sight of Mom. Case wonders, picks up the phone to call Mom ask what the problem is. Turns out Mom got somewhat "lost" on this new "electronic highway". Instead of getting into OJ Chat she ended up in a Christian Chat Room, enjoyed the people there so much, and ended up staying there! And to this very day, we've never seen Case's Mom. (I hope she doesn't finally decide to get to the OJ chat and find out the trial is over!) |
Moondance | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 10:09 am  I think that your Mom found the Christian chat room instead of the OJ chat was more like Synchronicity |
Vykin | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 11:43 pm  LOL Moon it wasn't my MOM it was my friend Case's mom. (my mom doesn't even really know what a computer looks like! LOL) |
Moondance | Thursday, October 26, 2000 - 11:59 pm  Oh sorry! My Mom has posted a couple of times during BB when I did Angel missions but she is too overwhelmed to participate in this I was trying to think of a funny kids story and I know I have them but the only thing that comes to mind is my clients 4 year old, Clea ... I am crazy about her. BTW she was a premie born at 26 weeks... 1lb and 5 oz. I visited her everyday in the neo natal(sp?) unit. What a spirit she has! Anyway, I had just gotten my hair done - highlighted - you know, the natural look Well she looks at me then looks at her Mom and says..."I love Auntie Tacy" because she has different color hair!" |
Vykin | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 07:14 am  ROFLMAO Moon! and what did Clea's mom feel about that? I have another: When "madmax" my son was 4years old, my mother used to babysit him. One day they go to the grocery store to pick up "just a few things". Mom gets the customary grocery cart, and plucks madmax into the kiddies place of honor in the carts. She begins to push the cart, madmax of course ever inquisitive has asked Mom what they "plan to buy today". She replies, "Only a few things: milk, juice, and grapes". Madmax calculates this in his 4yrold brain and it seems to meet with his approval especially the juice and grapes! They approach the produce section. There is one customer by the veggies. There is also the Produce Manager stacking a new shipment of bananas. MadMax spots the Manager. Meanwhile Mom has stopped the cart at the grapes. MadMax gazes intently at the Mgr. His mind clicking. Then Mom hears MadMax speak, "Excuse me Sir" in his young voice. No response. Louder, "Excuse me Mr. Sir!", This time the Produce Manager hears the voice and turns and spots MadMax. Mom has also stopped loading grapes into the bag and turns to face MadMax. Produce Mgr. smiles at Madmax and responds, "Good morning, how are you?" MadMax's face is serious, "I'm fine thankyou MrSir, are you loading banannas???", PM responds, again with a smile, "Yes, I am". MadMax replies, "Well, I want to tell you something, today my Baba (grandma) and me, we need to buy grapes, when can't buy your bananas today, but when we come back next week, we will buy your bananas!" Well, Produce Mgr and Mom are trying so hard not to burst out laughing, cuz madmax is serious and intent on his instructions. PM, "Okay, I will listen to you and save some bananas for you and your Grandma to buy next week!" MadMax breaks into a big smile, satisfied with the response, "Thankyou MrSir" Produce Mgr then says, "Would u like a candy in the meantime?" Madmax turns to "Baba" for permission which is granted. He accepts the offer. Candy now firmly placed in his mouth, his thoughts are on to other things. Next week came, MadMax never forgets a promise. Informed grandmas as they again are going to town. "Is it "next week" yet baba?", she ask what he means? "Well I told that MrSir man that we will buy bananas next week" Grandma replies yes, and they buy bananas. |

Moondance | Friday, October 27, 2000 - 11:28 am  It's great! Mini Vykin |
Vykin | Saturday, October 28, 2000 - 06:14 pm  MiniMax Goes to "NOK-Mart" When minimax was 3 1/2 years old, Grandma took him on a "big trip". They travelled to Spokane, Wash. to visit my aunt. It was an overnight trip. The big event was to visit K-Mart. It was before Halloween, and K-Mart always had neat chocolates, like M&Ms not yet available in Canada. MiniMax is reminded of all the do's and don'ts of being in a big city, in a big store. Don't let go of Grandma's hand. MiniMax vehemently vowed, he would never do that. "Don't worry, Grandma, never, never." Well, "never, never" lasted about 10 minutes. Soon MiniMax spotted a toy, he simply HAD to have! Grandma said No!. MiniMax continued to beg. Grandma was firm! Next thing you know, Grandma turns for splitsec, drops MiniMax's hand to pick something up. and Vamoose! MiniMax is off to the races! Grandma immediately is frantic, runs to Customer Service, (approximately 1 maybe 2 minutes have passed) Customer Service Rep over loudspeakers booms: "ATTENTION K-MART SHOPPERS, A little boy has gone missing, he is described as blonde hair, blue eyes, yada yada". Grandma is "dying". Suddenly, she glances toward the front door! My God! Its MiniMax!! He is standing talking to an older man. His right hand is held out. Palm flatly open. Grandma runs like mad! She approaches, and hears, "Excuse me Mr.Sir, do you got money? My Grandma is got no money for me and is mean. I need a transformer bad. Can u give me money Mr. Sir?". Well, I gotta tell ya! MiniMax was never let go of for one instant after that. He was scolded. The oldman? thought his request was so sweet, in the end he gave the kid $5!!! US DOLLARS! (only after a long conversation with grandma and she approved it) MAN ALIVE! WHAT A KID |
