From The Mouths Of Babes

I was just putting my eight year old daughter in the shower and she said to me, "Dad, is that the beer website you're on?"

"Yes sweetheart"

"It's like facebook for men isn't it"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Appologies to female members.

Cheers and Happy Easter

Priceless. The response should have been "Yes, dear, but with proper use of the Queen's English."

Don't get me started on why Twitter and Facebook are the catalysts for the destruction of literacy in this day and age...

Very good point. I do like that everybody else bashes him over the head as much as they can about it, though. Something that isn't found on Facebook.

My wife is marking some second grade maths papers. Some of the answers are gold.

Q: what is the difference between 3 and 18?
A: 3 is an odd number. 18 is even.
A: 18 is big, 3 is little.
A: 18 is a 1 and an 8. 3 is just a 3.

Q: Write a sentence with a fraction in it.
A: I see a kite.

Q: Use the word unlikely in a sentence.
A: It is unlikely I will pee my pants. (seriously)

Ha! kids. :lol:

I'm sitting on the lounge next to wifey and my four year old daughter walks up and says "Do vampires blow their whistle"?

"Umm, what"?

"At netball, do vampires blow their whistle at you"?

"Ahh, no dear, they're called umpires" :lol:

My 3yo daughter was "helping" me wash bottles and bottle beer on the weekend and says,"I don't like beer but I like helping". Sounds ok to me.

A little later she asks, "why are we doing this?" to which I reply,"because daddy drank the beer so the bottles are empty and need to be refilled" to which she replies, "no really, why??"

Oh well, it was nice to have company while bottling even if the help made it take longer.

I'm sitting at the dinner table with wifey and my three daughters, casually sipping my kit and bits stout, Idi Amin Scottish Ale, when the conversation turns to astronomy.

Daughter 2 says "Dad, did you know that in 2000 years there'll be no water left on Earth?"

Dad "No, why?"

Daughter 2 "Because the sun will get bigger and boil it all up."

Dad "Oh, well there'll still be water, but the Earth and all the water will be boiled up and melted into a big steamy ball."

Daughter 2 "Like Jupiter. Jupiter is a gas planet."

Daughter 1 "Dad, did you know Uranus is a gas planet."
