Ha,a bit like the local council here,they changed there pet(dog and cat) adoption site to something like pets looking for favours,or something like that and they suddenly got thousand of hits.

Last summer we had a few days in Sydney and did the obligatory beach trip. We ended up at Curl Curl and with an onshore wind there were a few bluebottles about. After 45 minutes or so I got a good one on the thigh and Miss, 13 got a sting on the cheek. We decided to get out and nurse our wounds in the sun when a bratty kid came along the beach arguing with his parents about whether he should be jumping on the beached bluebottles with bare feet. When the inevitable happened and he started screaming to be taken to the lifeguard post for first aid my daughter casually remarked "He should harden up, I'm from the bush, Got stung on the face, not the foot and I'm not making any fuss"
I nearly cracked myself as we watched him get told pretty much the same thing by the lifesavers.

During our trip earlier today -

Miss 12: “is the Landy a girl or a boy?”
Me: “it is a bit temperamental at times, I think it’s a girl”
Miss 12: “aren’t they all a bit temperamental? So if they’re all girls how to more Landy’s get made?”

Good question

My mate was at the local water park with his 3 sons and the youngest wanted to go to the toilet, so he said to him to go up the hill to one that he could still keep and eye on while watching the other 2 in the pool, within seconds he was back and when asked why he replied "The picture on the door says I have to go with a lady" obviously it was a unisex toilet and had both male and female symbols on the door.

My wife was sitting at an outside table at a cafe one day when an older gentleman with very bad kyphosis that had him bent nearly in half. As he was walking - bent right over some young girl around 4 or 5 walked up to him and asked if he had lost something and needed help looking for it.
Bless the young girls heart.

My Autistic son, when he was about 6 was given a "blaster" water pistol/gun at a family Christmas party by an elderly rellie. Bad move. He promptly unpackaged it & proceeded to start squirting peoples feet. I told him he couldn't do that & he replied yes I can ( in a tone like "what would you know"?) & continued. Luckily they were all rellies & understood, but some were WTF?? as it was from behind & not expected. So a second time I said "Will, you cant do that" - Him- Yes I can, Me -no you can't Him- Yes I can & showed me the packaging that said "Squirts up to 26 feet". How do you come back at THAT one.. ( He was perfectly happy to stop after 13 people- lucky that there were enough there...)

My 5yo son Ethan hurt his hand today playing as Batman. Mum came over to check if he was ok and he says, pointing to his knuckles:
"This one hurts, and this one hurts, and this one hurts. Thats 3 finger caps!" As in knee caps on your fingers.

"They hurt a bit, but I can still be Batman!"
