I don't know if this is funny or not. -OR- Kids say the darnest things.

[Dotard]

When hanging out with my sister and her herd of children, (A group of children are refered to as a 'Herd' right?) ranging in ages from 3 to 8 years old, we were asking what they want to be when they grow up.

The usual answers abounded, fireman, policeman, soldier, nurse.....

Then the 6 year old says "I want to be an Embezzler." hock:

I played ignorant and asked the child "What's an embezzeler?" The child answered spot on, "you get to go work for some rich people and get to take their money."

When told "but stealing is wrong" the child just answered, kinda solemnly, "I know...."


The child is only six years old so it was a funny exchange. First time I ever heard a small child list "Criminal" on their 'want-to-be' list.

Another "Kids say....." is the 4 and 1/2 year old girl is demanding a drivers license. She states, in all seriousness, 'people with the license get to go anywhere they want'. Not only has she been demanding a drivers license she has been insistent she needs it NOW!

Her twin brother has been going around telling everyone he needs a wife. HA!
When asked why he needs a wife he says "So she can make me bacon and eggs for breakfast!"

Cuteness beyond discription.
