Thread: Out of the mouths of babes.

Coming from a family of footy fanatics(AFL) my eldest son when he was a little tacker would often be asked what team he barracks for.

SWMBO was navigating for me one day and she pointed out that up ahead are the army barracks.

A voice from the back seat asks "does the army barrack for the demons"

He also once referred to the Hume Hwy as the Human Hwy.

Another very funny story was him and his two year younger brother were in the bath and having a farting contest, when one of them followed through.

SWMBO nearly died laughing when she went in to see how their bath was going, to find both of them standing at one end of the bath with a floaty at the other end.

Driving up the driveway, to the packing shed, Ben observed a number of people harvesting produce and said to me "I hope we don't have to pick these cabbages.".

So, as a young bloke in primary school, my teacher was a bit of a good sort. Young, blonde leggy cheerleader for the newcastle knights kinda good sort. Even as a 7 or 8 year old it was obvious.
One day (probably a monday) all us kids walked into the classroom where we were greeted with beer bottles and general mess... she must have had a wild party there over the weekend. All our desk chairs were in the back room area in a circle, and there was a bit of mess all over the place. I think she must've forgot about it, as she was trying to clear it all up before us kids understood what was going on.

Anyway, the point was (and for some reason this stuck with me) was that I was happy to explain during show and tell to the class, that my dad got me a 'Joystick'. For some reason she seemed rather concerned, and was asking all these questions about the why and the how, and I was either too excited about my new peripheral for the DOS 386 computer, and didn't know how else to explain it other than it's got buttons, and you wiggle it, play a game etc...
Either thru my lack of suitable communication, or her frame of reference, there was a misunderstanding. To me, It was obvious that it was awesome for playing wolfenstein 3d and DOOM, but to her she must have thought it was something else (or probably even worth calling DOCS over!).

TL;DR, teacher was a bit of a trollop, thought my computer Joystick was a dildo.

That explains a lot of things, Mitch.

When my lad had just turned 8yo, we were in a shopping mall and passed a lingerie shop window. After a few minutes he said sagely, "I don't get why girls underwear is so decorated and pretty, after all it's always covered by clothes. Such a waste. Should be just plain like boys undies."

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?!
