PLEASE, GOD, ... As my 5-year-old son and I were headed to McDonald's one day, we passed a car accident. Usually when we see something terrible like that we say a prayer for those who might be hurt. So I pointed to the accident and said to my son, "We should pray." From the back seat I heard his earnest request: "Please, God, don't let those cars block the entrance to McDonald's." -- Anonymous

SUPERSTITIONS I was talking to my five and six year olds about superstition and that they aren't true. To prove my point, I gave examples of a few ... step on a crack, break your mother's back & break a mirror and you'll have bad luck. Just then, my 5-year old piped in "but, you would have bad luck if you break a mirror, because you'd get a time-out." -- A.W., Troy, MI.

WRONG POTTY Our 3-year-old daughter, who is fiercely independent, was potty training at the time when my husband and I were shopping at a kitchen and bath store. While we were talking to the salesperson, our daughter wandered off.

SPELLING IS HARD My friend Roberta's grandson was bemoaning the difficulties in learning to spell. "You know", he said, "spelling is hard. You get one single letter wrong and the whole word is wrong.

"YOU HAVE A FAT TUMMY" My sister-in-law was at the mall with my nephew, 5, and my niece, 4, when they ran into an acquaitance. My niece looked at the woman and said "You have a fat tummy." My sister-in-law was shocked and didn't know what she could say to make amends. My nephew, however, was happy to set his sister straight. "You shouldn't say that," he said. "It's just that she eats too much and doesn't exercise enough." - C.G., Belmont, Calif.


LIGHT SWITCH IN TUMMY While expecting our second child, my three year old son became inquisitive about my tummy that was now very large.

TACO BELL This is guaranteed to make anyone who has potty trained a kid laugh! My 3-year-old son had a lot of problems with potty training, and I was on him constantly. One day, we stopped at Taco Bell for a quick lunch in between errands. It was very busy, with a full dining room. While enjoying my taco, I smelled something funny, so of course I checked my 7-month-old daughter, and she was clean. Then I realized that Matt had not asked to go potty in a while, so I asked him and he said, "No." I kept thinking, "Oh Lord, that child has had an accident and I didn't have any extra clothes with me." Then I said, "Matt, are you sure you did not have an accident?" "No," he insisted. I just knew that he must have, because the smell was getting worse. Soooo, I asked one more time, "Matt, did you have an accident?" Matt jumped up, yanked down his pants, bent over and spread his cheeks and yelled . . . "SEE MOM, IT'S JUST FARTS!!!" While 20 people nearly choked to death on their tacos, he calmly pulled up his pants and sat down to eat his food as if nothing happened. I was mortified! Some kind elderly people made me feel a lot better when they came over and thanked me for the best laugh they had ever had! Another gentleman stopped us in the parking lot as we were leaving, bent over to my son and said, "Don't worry son, my wife accuses me of the same thing all the time. I just never had the nerve to make the point like you did." - Anonymous


WRONG FEET Your newspaper column tip from a grandma about helping kids get their shoes on right, reminded me of my 3-year-old son who put his shoes on wrong.

I'M HEARING VOICES My 2-year-old nephew, Dustin, and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.

Glen thought for a minute and replied, "No, it was still on him." -- S.B., Chicopee, Ma.

GRILLED CHEESE OR BOY CHEESE? One day I had taken my 3-year-old twin daughter to a restaurant for lunch. I read her her choices from the menu, one of which was a grilled cheese sandwich. As I was placing the order with the waitress, my daughter was tugging at my sleeve and said, "Mommy, I want the "girl cheese," not the boy cheese. We all had a good laugh and now, when we make lunch, we ask if they want a girl cheese or a boy cheese! -- Theresa Woodgate, Cheboygan, WI.

DRINKING AND DRIVING When my oldest son was 4, my mother was bringing hime home from school. She had just taken a sip of her drink when from the back seat he says "GranMommy, you're gonna get in trouble." She said, "Why?" He said "Cause it's illegal to drink and drive." It was hard to argue with that logic but became funnier when he added "but I guess it would be OK if you had a straw!"- Kimberly Buckhallter, Albany, Ga.

BABY OR BIG BOY My son, Matthew, was about two years old when we had gotten him out of the habit of using the bottle. Well, somehow he would get his way at his grandparents and get that bottle. So, to try and reason with him, Grandpa said, "Matt, you are a big boy now; you should drink milk out of a cup." With that Matthew replied, "When I'm at home I'm a big boy, but when I'm here, I'm a baby!" This left Grandpa with a loss for words and told us that he could not argue with logic such as that. - David Oshiro, Alameda, California


BAD TREE Our 1-year-old daughter was fascinated by the lights and ornaments on our Christmas tree. She usually doesn't grab for the ornaments, but a few times I've caught her standing tippy-toed, reaching for them. I always say "No" very sternly and point my finger at her. She gets the point and takes off in the other direction. The other day I walked in and caught her doing it again. She looked at me, and then at the tree, and after a few seconds she pointed her finger at the tree and told it "No.” - Lara Cantor, Powder Springs, Georgia.
