Kids say the darndest things: #1

I love working with kids. LOVE it. One of my favorite things about talking with kids are the random questions that they ask in the middle of seemingly normal conversations. Here are some of my favorites from this past month:

kid: Did your mom ever go to college?
me: yes she did.
kid: did she just graduate?
me: she graduated a long time ago.
kid: oh....did she go to college to learn how to be a cave-woman?
me: (OMG!!!...PLEASE don't tell me I look old enough to have a cave-woman for a mother!) No, she went to college to be a teacher.
kid: oh...well, I guess that's ok too.

kid: Do you watch TV?
me: yes I do.
kid: Do you watch Dora?
me: nope
kid: Do you watch sponge Bob?
me: no
kid: Do you watch cartoons?
me: not really
kid: well, what DO you watch--the news?
me: I watch shows about cooking and famous people.
kid: like Michael Jackson?
me: no, like Kristin Cavallari.
kid: who?!
me: errr...never mind...yes, I watch the news.

kid: Do you watch TV? (This seems to be a popular question)
me: yes I do.
kid: what do you watch?
me: (sigh)...the news...
kid: like BET?
me: ummm....you mean the channel with music videos on it?
kid: yep.
me: yeah, sometimes I watch BET.
kid: yeah, that's my favorite news channel.
me: (smile)

Yep, some of my favorites. And there's plenty more where that came from...
