Things Kids Say

Young Bradley Tash asked me on the way to Mablethorpe. “ grandad what country are lesbians from”. He fancied a girl at primary school and she told him that they could not go out with one another coz she is a lesbian. She is/was 10 yr old.
I had to explain that a lesbian was from any country and that although they would never be boy and girlfriend, he would be an important friend as a boy. missis Tash said it was one of my finest hours. I was just happy keeping the car on the road.
 
On our first proper hotel holiday with our girls aged about 4 and 7 another elderly resident took a real shine to them.
They were chatting away when she said that they did not really look like sisters [slightly different hair colours]
Youngest one chips in 'Nanna said that I'm the milkman and she is the postman.'
 
First of all, I have to explain that in Australia a pick-up truck is referred to as a Ute (utility vehicle)
Many years ago, my brother in Australia had a young nephew. His dad was a builder and had a Ute as well as a family car.
The young lad asked one day, "Dad, is 'Ute' short for something?"
"Yes, uterus," the devious dad replied with a very straight face.
The dad and the young boy's older brother kept this up for over a year with the younger boy saying this like, "Are we all going in the uterus today?"
Finally the mother caved in and explained what a uterus was and how his dad and older brother had been deceiving and teasing him.

A couple of years later the whole extended family went back to referring to a "uterus" vehicle as a sort of in-joke.
Funny people those Aussies.
