Oh man, kids give you more laughs than tv.

So my youngest is entering "middle school." They used to call it "jr. high" when I was in school.

She got a paper to answer some questions about like, what your parents do for a living.

Well, my husband is technical support for the computer system for the gas company here in Ohio.

But, my daughter answered the question by writing, "My father works for a gas station."

:)) :)) :))

I ran down to show my husband. We both had a huge laugh over that one.

Heheheeh...cute. I didn't think Jr. high/middle school did this type of assignment? Isn't this usually in K-4th type assignment? My kids have been out of primary grades for some time now...but dang...how times have seemingly changed.

My own girls, when this assignment came up in 3rd/4th grade...wrote down, Dad writes on papers all day then drives them around in his car. (He was a processes server for the County of Sacramento at the time...lol) Mom takes care of sick people who then die. :eh: (I was a hospice nurse at the time) Interesting what children perceive of the activities of their adult parents. Needless to say, we got a interesting phone inquiry from their teachers. :lol:

Wish you had told that to my mom when I was a kid. I was four and sitting in the back room of the house (used to be a patio but was enclosed by previous owner into a full fledged room) and I didn't like the noise the freezer made so I unplugged it.

About a few hours later she comes out and sees everything's thawed out and wonders what happened. I told her and apparently she had the devil in her eyes or something. She always told me she was mad as hell.

When my granddaugter was four she was complaining to me that her mom (my daughter) would not let her watch her favorite tv show because she was watching her "adult show". When I asked her what "adult show" her mom was watching she said "Law and Order".

This is the same kid who, when filling out her address, asked her mom what the house telephone number was. (She meant the zip code)

That's hilarious! No, she got this assignment in middle school. I mean it's like sixth grade, and I think all it really was, was to assess their writing skills. That's why I got to see the paper. The teacher told her to take it home and proofread it (she misspelled three words :naughty: ).

But the gas station line. Oh man I bust a gut.

After dinner (I was washing dishes), my husband was kidding around with me, giving me some "grief" for something, and I retorted, "Listen I don't have to take this from someone who works at a gas station. If you want me to respect you, you need to get a better job!

We started laughing all over again, because my daughter piped in from the other room, "How many times are you guys going to bring that up?!" :))

It was just so funny!

When I was four, my dad was working on the Apollo projects and he bought for our room, a map of the solar system. It showed all the planets. Well we were just thrilled with that poster, and getting to see "where the astronauts go."

Well my Dad, pointed out Pluto (which at the time was still classified a planet) and told me that planet was the "farthest planet" in our solar system. He rattled off the miles away it was, and told me "That's FAR FAR AWAY!"

Well, as a four year old, I was quite impressed with this poster, and the wonders of the universe. Well, my grandmother came to visit us, and when she was at our house I asked her where she lived. She replied, "Oh, far, far away." And I noticed she always took a plane and flew in to see us (when she visted).

So when asked about our families in Kindergarten, and wanting to impress everyone with my "important space going" family, instantly piped up that my grandmother lived on the Planet Pluto. (seemed quite logical to me, at the time)

I didn't understand why no one else believed me. ;)

That sounds like the time my brother and I got in a fight over the vacuum cleaner. We both wanted to help mom with the cleaning, (we were trying to be good) but we disagreed on who got to do the vacuuming.

Well, it finally ended up in a tug of war. I had the hose and was pulling one way, and my brother had the cord and was pulling the other way. Can you guess what happened next?

Right, the cord and hose both came free and ripped off the vacuum cleaner. Seeing the destroyed vacuum cleaner, for some reason my mother didn't appreciate our "good intentions."

I will never forget the look on mom's face, when she laid the famous curse on me, that all mother's eventually lay on their children.

"I hope you have a child, just like YOU!" :))

And I did! ;)

Good story.

When my son was around 10, he was filling out a permission form for going on a wall-climbing field trip.

On the line that asked for the phone number to call in case of an emergency, he wrote '9-1-1'.

Oftentimes being a parent consists of standing there randomly thinking "MOM, I"M SORRY!" when you think about all of the things that YOU did to make her crazy.

Payback is a bitch. :))

I always thought this was the small revenge God lets every parent enjoy.

For some reason, when I complain about my kids to my mom, I get little sympathy. She just reminds me of something *I* did that was 10 times worse. :angel:

lol....now that's smart...the kid can think! lol They didn't specify 'who' to call, just what number to dial. Kids using his noodle!

Ahhhh, to have a child understanding of things again...what a truly confused yet delightful state. We adults do tend to over complicate things...just a bit. What I wouldn't give to have just a day of blissful ignorance...to be in perfect child like understanding of the mysterious world that never ceased to hold amazing things within it. Maybe, one day my wish will come true? ...hey..it could happen...old age holds all kinds of wonderful little goodies for just such bliss. :shhh:
