My daughter came into the room during the US / Ghana soccer match this past world cup and said something that made me glad we were not in public!! She was a little over 2 at the time and she came in and stared at the TV for a moment before the camera panned to one of the Ghana players, who happened to be very dark skinned and have protruding ears. With no shame my daughter looks at me and says "look daddy, a monkey!". In fairness to her the guy was a little funny looking....no racist.

“It’s like being in a cave, with bats pooping on you.”

-My son (7), describing an unpleasant situation

Note: We watch a lot of nature documentaries. He couldn't tell you who Goofy is, but he probably knows more about the social behaviour of chimpanzees than you ever will (unless you're a zoologist specialising in primates, in which case I take it back).

He actually shocked an older woman once. I'm proud.

we were once in Mexico at che chaniza, and the guide mentions the mayan ball game, and my (then 6 year old) son launches into an explanation of how the game worked. he had picked it up from a documentary. it was pretty funny

ok, I should have known better, but it was an honest mistake. When I was about 12 I was writing a short story for english class and wanted to make up a cool name for the main character. So I was thinking Kyle, but wanted to make it more edgy so I doubled the K's for effect and wrote the name kyke. I thought it would be a neat name, not knowing in any way that it's a derogatory name for someone jewish (even as a jew). Totally had never heard the word, just thought I'd made it up. Imagine the conversation of my teacher sitting down with me to explain that it wasn't an appropriate name for the main character...

rofl that's a good one MC. this isn't a first hand story but it comes from my wife, who was there when it happened: She had a friend who had kids younger, in her early 20s, and she used to hang with the friend and her kid a lot; they'd take the kid on trips to the zoo, etc. Apparently the kid was about 2 or 3 and a cute little girl who would like to flirt with people. She also was a bit naughty/inquisitive at home and had developed a habit of stuffing things into other things. She had ruined several VCRs this way (this was like 10 years ago) and one day the husband had had it and went on a swearing rampage about how she was always "stuffing everything full of shit." Well there they were on the Amtrak up to the Philadelphia zoo and this little girl is flirting with the guy sitting beside them, acting cute and adorable, when suddenly she looks up at the A/C vents up above and says to the man: "You see them holes? I fill them holes up with shit!"

my girls are at the age when they don't really get the value of numbers or measurements. so, the other day they were talking about difficulty in units of "inches". so one says "oh, this is too hard, this is 5 inches hard!" and the other says "well, this is harder, it's 10 inches hard!" and they are yelling back and forth in the playground, these two cute 4 year olds, about 5 inches hard and 10 inches hard. my wife was in tears laughing

My brother in law, dad and I were watching MMA one day when my 3 year old niece (BIL's daughter) walked in and said "oh, they're doing what mommy and daddy do!". I think she got her own room shortly after that
