We have a new kitten that got a rough start in life so it is very underweight. The grandson was petting the kitten and asked "Grandma, have you taken this kitten to the vegetarian to find out why it is so skinny?" :) |

"My mom found a condom on the patio."
To which the other kid replied,
"What's a patio?"
===
And another, absolutely true. My sister's friend. Her 9 year old son asked, "What's a virgin?" Well, she hadn't planned on telling him The Facts so soon, but what could she do? They were responsible, intelligent parents who would face this in an honest, mature way. She told her husband he should be the one, and the husband dutifully sat the child down and explained everything.
EV-RY-THING.
The kid looked absolutely horrified and blurted out, "Well, why is it on OLIVE OIL?"

Then he asked me if i took the kitten to the vegetarian that is a block away from my house.  |

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs |

He got under my mom's feet and started bouncing and shaking. Then proudly announced to the room "I'm a vibrator!" |

 3 members like this. Date: 8/22/12 2:08 AM When I got the male rabbit neutered, my sons wanted to put him with the female right away. I said, no, it takes awhile after to be sure he has no more "seeds". My little guy said to be sure they can't touch noses through the cage bars. My older son said, "It's not the noses you have to worry about, the seeds come from the privates". I wasn't really anticipating getting to that specific info just yet, so I asked, "How did you know that?", to which he said, "Well, you didn't get him neutered on the nose, Mom, you got him neutered on the privates."
