When I used to teach, I had a student ask me (this was a serious question) “Ms. King, is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. your dad?” (I am a white woman) I said without laughing, “Yes, he was.”

My friends son went from Kindergarten to first grade. At noon he went to get his coat from the cloak room. His teacher stopped him to say, oh you are not going home. He replied with, ” who the hell went and signed me up for this”.

A few years ago, while teaching my kindergarten class, I was explaining why I had gray hair. After I told my class that when you get older your hair turns gray, one of the kids raised his hand and asked, “Whose gonna be out teacher when you die?”

When my nephew was little we asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. Without missing a beat, he replied “when I grow up I want to be a broke stalker” (as if being a stalker wasn’t bad enough). He obviously meant stock broker.

A young man named Louis and I spent a lot of time together through the 1990s; for a few years there, I drove him to school most mornings, and he spent many evenings and weekends at my house. Little boxes of candies were not uncommon in his room, and he especially liked one called “Nerds.” One day he was looking around for something he couldn’t find and finally he asked me, “Daña, do you know where that box of “Dweebs” is that I had last weekend?” Close, but no cookie. And the source of laughter still years later.

My wife & I have 5yr old twins. We always agreed to let them decide what to call us-so when they were old enough to come up with names, they started calling me Little Mommy & my wife is Big Mommy. They are constantly coming up with goofy questions or phrases. My son says ‘tomorrow ago’ if he means yesterday. And one time he asked if we have a ‘roof basement’ -that one took us a while to figure out that he meant an attic. Every day is entertaining!

My nephew asked if my partner was my butler. Yes…I thought to myself, that would be awesome.

He looked up at me sadly and said ” I spilled myself”.

I’m sitting across the table from my 6 yr old nephew and His mom asked him if Amber was still his kindergarten girlfriend. He rolls his eyes and says, “NO Mom”! I asked him why and with another eye roll he looks straight at me – serious faced and says, ” cause she is on the fast track to riding the CRAZY Train!!!” Needless to say I choked on my drink

When Josh (now 19) was 3 he was standing in front of the TV watching his favorite show, “Blue’s Clues”. He had toys scattered all over the living room. His mom said, “Josh, would you help me pick up all these toys?” to which he replied, “No, but thank you for asking”! He never took his eyes off the TV but sounded very sincere.

My 8 yo grand niece visited a couple weeks ago. One evening I asked her if she would help me make us hot chocolate. Just as I amm putting the milk in the cups to heat in the microwave, my grand niece says “we make ours with water”
