Has any body attempted a compilation of the hilarious things kids do and say in the process of growing up? If not, I am willing to act as a collector of these stories. Email me, and I'll repost as the list grows. To start things off (or to add to someone else's list) I have the following to stories: Story #1: Told to me by a former co-worker. Eliot was about 3 when he and his dad paid a visit to a local mall. Eliot began to misbehave, so his dad picked him up and proceeded to carry him out of the store. As they made their way to the exit, Eliot yelled out, "Hey mister, put me down." [You can guess what they taught Eliot in preschool.] Story #2: Told to me by a school principal at a panel discussion on "Is your child ready for kindergarten?" The principal was visiting the kindergarten class, as was his daily habit. The teacher was teaching the children about colors. She asked the class if anyone knew what color one got when one mixed blue and yellow. One kid immediately yelled out, "Green!" The teacher, shocked at the child's quick and correct answer, asked how he knew. The child replied, "My mommy puts this blue stuff into the potty, and when I do a pee pee it turns green." [The principal then went on to explain how kids learn from all types of experiences.] -- -- Edited by Brad Templeton.

In response to the request for "kids growing up" stories, here's one told to me many years ago by some friends about their five-year-old daughter Laura. The mother calls it "The Kevin Incident." The father just says "Like Mother, Like Daughter." It seems that Laura came home from Nursery School one day and announced that Kevin had pee-peed in the yard. Since Laura was one of the older children in the Nursery School group, her parents wanted to impress on her that she should try to help the younger children learn right from wrong, so they said "Well, Laura honey, how big is Kevin?" Whereupon Laura held her two index fingers an inch or so apart and said "Oh, about this big." -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
