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

I remember when I was taking a child development class I was really tight with this one kid named Patrick. When we were doing an activity involving shaving cream he said: "Heh, you remember when my dad farted in the car? That was funny." It was quite odd seeing as I had never even seen Patrick outside of the preschool.
I got in to a long winded pseudo-philosophic discussion with another kid named Luke, who was always bummed about being there. Nothing funny enough about the actual conversation worth mentioning, but after being told time and time again small children couldn't respond to reasoned arguments, it was rather unexpected how easy it was to change his outlook.
Then there was Maggie who I found climbing the chairs in another room. I asked her if she was allowed to be there (wasn't my teaching day), she said "yes", and then I left only to get scolded by the current teachers who were badgering me as to why I trusted her. Damn four year old liars...
In general I love the little nippers, as long as I'm not responsible for them. They can be intentionally and unintentionally hilarious:
