Anyone remember that show? I was reminded of it the other day when taking my grandkids out to dinner. My Granddaughter Breanna (age 5) leaned forward, touched the side of my shoulder and said, "That's a big muscle. That's the biggest muscle an old man can have!"

Hi Steve, that was one of my favorite shows way back when with Art Linkletter.
Seeing your post just now reminded me I had a small book on that probably about 35 or so years old, I'll be looking for it to read again if it's still in the house somewhere.

And not too long ago Bill Cosby revived it. It was cute, but didn't last too long.

Anyone have some real examples of their own to add?

The one story I always will remember is the one day it snowed really bad and I was working at this restaurant a few years ago. I finally made it into work and my boss' kids were there since school had been called out. My boss' son said "hey Steph isn't this GREAT" and me acting all grumpy said "Uh no I was praying really hard we wouldn't get this" to which he replied "well all of us kids were praying even harder that we would and who do you think God would rather listen to us or you?" OK...I guess he told me!! LOL!! Not only did it cheer me up it has made me laugh whenever I think about it.

I got these in an e-mail today and thought you might enjoy.

When I stopped the bus to pick up Chris for preschool, I noticed an older woman hugging him as he left the house. "Is that your grandmother?" I asked.
"Yes, "Chris said. "She's come to visit us for Christmas."
"How nice," I said. "Where does she live?"
"At the airport," Chris replied. "Whenever we want her, we just go out there and get her."

When the mother returned from the grocery store, her small son pulled out the box of animal crackers he had begged for, then he spread the animal-shaped crackers all over the kitchen counter.
"What are you doing?" his Mom asked.
"The box says you can't eat them if the seal is broken," the boy explained.
"I'm looking for the seal."

This little grandmother was surprised by her 7 year old grandson one morning. He had made her coffee. She drank what was the worst cup of coffee in her life. When she got to the bottom, there were three of those little green army men in the cup.
She said, "Honey, what are these army men doing in my coffee?"
Her grandson said, "Grandma, it says on TV 'The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup!'"

A three-year-old boy went with his dad to see a new litter of kittens.
On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother, "There were two boy kittens and two girl kittens."
"How did you know that?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the bottom."

While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly shut-ins, I used to take my four-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs.
One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass.
As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered, "The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his five-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.
The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaaather.
And unto the Soonnn.......and into the hole he gooooes."

A little girl had just finished her first week of school. "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. "I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!"

I spoke with a customer the other day who recently took his two young daughters to a Tony Bennett show. These little girls are in love with Tony; their album covers apparently worn out from them staring at them all day.
So they went to the show and one of the girls wanted to get a close peak at Tony through their binoculars. She looked for about 5 minutes, but the bino's down and started crying. The father could not get a word out of the girl. After a while she had to go to the bathroom so he finally got her to talk. He asked her what was wrong and the girl replied "daddy, he's so old he looks like he's gonna die!"

Got a good chuckle out of that one!

:finger: this actually happened in the dispensary not long ago. A lady came in with a couple of small kids i would guess about 6 years old. As i was talking to the mother about glasses the 6 year old popped up and said," do you know what i saw today"?, and i replied no, what did you see today?, He replied "I saw mom in bed with some man who came over the house"

Couldn't resist,
My 4 year old niece walked up to a girl near her own age in the Dr's office and directing her conversation towards the mother. She said " she's so cute, whats her name?" The mother replied, "ask her". My niece turned back to the girl & said, "Hi asker".

:) We were in the cara playing " I Spy" when my three year old decided he would have a go.

"I spy wiv my likkle eye something beginning with tractor!"

My sixyear old replied " that's easy, TRACTOR"

The reply was hands on hips, rolling eyes

"Nooo!"

We never did find out what the answer was!!
