Kids say the darndest things

Quick lil' post today - just some of the smart comments my kids have made during the past few Wednesday evenings!

2 and 3 year olds
"That's a frontloader. There's other types too." E, during a story on power trucks

Me to a new kid: Hi there, what's your name?
G: Nothin'!

"Eleven! That comes right after 10." E, while counting

L, playing with Noah's ark: If you leave the fish outside, they get frozen.
Me: Ok! Do they float if they're frozen?
L: No! They can't swim when they're frozen!
Me: Ok - but do they float?
L: No! They don't move!!

"If you don't come out from there, I'm gonna have to go find another girl to be my sister!" the brother of one of our 3 year olds, when she refused to come out from under the table

1st and 2nd grade girls
Song leader: Raise your hand if you have a grandmother!
G: Everyone has to have a grandmother. Otherwise your mother wouldn't have a mom!

V: I'm REALLY strong. Know why? 'Cuz I can lift my dad... and he's HUNDREDS of pounds!!

E: We've been going to this church for 15 years, which is a REALLY long time, because I'm not even 15!

Krista (the other group leader): Who knows how old Miss Mary Ann is?
K: ::thinks:: 50!!!

3rd and 4th grade girls
L: Do you a husband?
Me: No.
M: Do you have kids?
Me: No, but I will someday - and I hope they're as cool as you guys!
M: Are you gonna adopt or make them yourselves?
L: How do you make kids?
Me: ::pretends not to hear that question::

L: Can you draw a dove for me?
Me: ::draws a bird::
L: WOW!!! That's so good!! You should be an artist when you grow up!!
