Do your kids or grand kiddos make you laugh? Kids are a constant source of amusement for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and others.

My friend, Sarah, shared this conversation during her son’s homework session:
Sarah (Mom): Julian, you need to write a sentence for your homework.
Julian dutifully writes “I see a dog.”
Sarah: No, Julian, a first grade sentence.
Julian: The education system has failed me. I got nothing.
Sarah (trying not to laugh): Get to work.
Grandma: 
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s so funny, Sarah. Julian didn’t want to write a first-grade sentence, but he talks like an adult!
Sarah and her first-grader, Julian
My other friend, Maria, shared this story:
Maria Cisneros Toth: Just learned that our 10-year-old granddaughter made her 8-year-old twin sisters sign a contract stating that as long as they have bunk beds, she gets the top bunk. If they refused to sign, she threatened to tackle them with tickles. One of the twins is ticklish, so she signed on the dotted line. These girls keep me in stitches. 🙂
Deb shared a funny story about when she picked her grandson up from kindergarten one day. He was upset because he had an argument with one of the girls, Madison, over how to spell “was.” Madison insisted on w-u-z. He tried to correct her, but she wouldn’t listen.
Finally he said, “Madison, if you stop arguing with me, I won’t beat you up.”
Unfortunately, the teacher overheard them, and Deb’s grandson was disciplined. In his mind, he was treated unfairly: “I got in trouble for refusing to beat her up. It was Madison’s choice.”
I see his point. What logical thinking at such a young age!
Thanks for the giggles, Sarah, Maria, and Deb.

Kids are so funny. When I was complaining of Nat being all over the place the other day, he said, “But, mum, I’m young and full of beans!” ha ha
That’s hilarious, Yvette! Thanks for sharing that with us!
Julian is one smart first grader.
He sure is! Thanks for stopping by, Alex.
Adorable stories…kids are full of entertainment, especially when they don’t mean to be!
Yep, they don’t even realize how entertaining they are! Thanks for visiting, Pambelina!
You see, when I was a child and said those things, I wasn’t precocious, I was a smart aleck. Nowadays they use kinder words like precocious. What he said about getting in trouble for not doing something bad is true. And excellent deductive reasoning. Next time, just beat her up. You’re going to get in trouble anyway, might as well make it worthwhile. (At least that’s what my brain would be thinking.)
Ah kids. They say the darndest things.
Fun post, Lynn.

Hahahaha! Excellent deductive reasoning, and good thing he gave her a warning and didn’t carry it out since he would have been in much worse trouble. I’m sure all was forgotten by the next day. They sure do say the darnedest things. Glad you enjoyed the post, Patricia!
