I myself about the age of 7. My grandma calls me and my brother for dinner - "Come here, you both!" I shout back - "We are not BOTH, we are HUMANS!", where "humans" was also put grammatically incorrect. For those who speak Russian - here is the original sentnce: "My ne oba, my cheloveki!" Actually it happened more than once...
Hope once said when introduced to a woman named Linda that her Mom did not like the name Linda! Big Grin

and when that failed - making up a not-very-convincing story about how the hospital ward in which I was born was called Mars


Off-topic from me, but I have to say that way by far more convincing than this case of "trying to explain what's impossible to explain" :http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=TmqbO-lY0LM ... Smile

"Be quiet" when he has done something he knows he might be told off for.
"My monkey cannot see a thing" when we switch off the light at bedtime.
"My monkey had said no" when he doesn't want to do something specific.

Me, aged two; London born, I  didn't understand the rural terminology (meadow, corn...):

Little Boy Blue,
Come blow on your horn,
The sheep's in the middle
the cow's in the corner....

Eldest, also at two; we had been playing a game throwing his big pink teddy bear through the air with cries of "Super-Ted!!":

"It's not a Ted, it's a Panda."

I try to explain that pandas are black-and-white, but he's having none of it.

"It IS a panda - it's a pandemonium!"

Well, we were making a lot of noise! Rolleyes
It's impossible to tell - throughout my life (I am now 27) he has come out with all sorts of bizarre things!
His mother (my gran) often comes to me after she has spoken with him so that I can give her a translation!
It so happens by about age 8 I had read enough about human reproduction to be able to tell a pregnant stranger in an elevator how she got pregnant nine months earlier.  Mom had something to explain...... I'm pretty sure I avoided physical consequences.  It does remind me of what (Benjamin Spock MD?) said of an intelligent child who had gotten the facts of life wrong....

Good babies come from good food.  They grow and grow and pop right out of the stomach.  Maybe he saw television footage of a Caesarian section. Bad babies come from bad food. They come from the B.M. place.  Maybe he saw television footage of a traditional birth.


I didn't really figure out the Caesarian part until a few months ago but it does make sense.

That would also sort of explain the kinds of things that holy prophets wrote in the Bible for which they had none of our words.
When the apostle John wrote about the beast making fire come from heaven while people are watching (Rev 13:13), we have a military occupation for that: forward air controller.

Babylon destroyed in one hour (Rev 18), kings to rule for one hour (Rev 17:12). sky rolls up like scroll (Rev 6:14) and everyone hides in caves (Rev 6:15):
a. in a nuclear war: even in a bunker, you might have an hour to live, given a 50 megaton bomb
b. Trinity footage, sky rolls up like scroll
c. NORAD, looks like a cave

The locusts in Rev 9: long ago a Vietnam vet suggested they were Huey Cobras, said Hal Lindsey.
I had a coin bank shaped like an apple, Mom said it was an apple bank, I wondered if you put apples in it too.
Hello,

The only one I can think of right now is when I was being introduced to one of my extracurricular teachers when I was six, and I asked:

“How old are you?”

To which she replied:

“Oh, I’m forty.”

To which I immediately replied:

“Really? I thought you were, like, 60 to 80 years old.”

Well, when I was about 5, mum told me I was a "soldier of god". I said "no, because soldiers are MEN!". Oops!

A few years later, a friend was telling another friend that her mum was having "kittens on the spot" the night before over a family crisis. I said "don't be silly, people don't have kittens - only mother cats do!". She didn't speak to me for a while after that and also left me out of any confidences she related to my other friend.

I found out some years later from mum that this girl's father had a bit of an alcohol problem and had occasionally raised his hand to his wife when he was drunk.
Marcia, that is funny~ and your son sounds very confident.  Smile
I once said to a police's wife "My brother smokes pot!" My mom was quite ashamed of me, but at the same time, she laughed her buns off!
hi skyblue1, I'm from Gla'haria 4 - how about you?

We went to a restaurant this past weekend. As we walked in there was a big glass case filled with beautiful cakes.  When our server came to take our orders, The youngest spoke up first, "I'll have chocolate cake with a side of dinner."

We think that might have t-shirt potential ....

Lol! That's the kind of thing my younger daughter would have said too but I think she would be borderline aspie at most.
