kids say the darndest things

[RoniMan]

so i was teaching my pre-alg class, and one of the "slower" kids raised his hands and asked me "so do you have a wife, Mr. ___?"

i held up my hands to show him that there was no wedding rings, and he replied "you have TEN wives!?!?"

[BrewMaster]

here's one that my fiancee sent me:

A minister began eloquently during the offertory prayer.
"Dear Lord, "he began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face.
"Without you we are but dust. . "

He would have continued but at that moment a very obedient little child (who was listening!)
leaned over to mom and asked quite audibly in a shrill little voice,
"Mom, what is butt dust?"

[Booyamos]

ha ha oh man i think every thread i have read today has made me laugh.. 10 wives... butt dust... hmm i think i am still 5 years old.

My next door neighbors are Buckeye fans from Ohio. They whip up a batch of buckeye candy (which is basically a big gob of peanut butter dipped in chocolate). My kids loved them, and the next day one of them asks, "Hey, do we have any more of those butt guys? You know, the peanut butter ones?"

[Jenny]

HAHA to all of them.

You should have immediately taken that child to your local gay district

this story is even funnier than it appears on the surface when you consider the bitter rivalry between OSU and U-M

[RoniMan]

[nickel]

[Booyamos]

yar i be in Boston.

still cracks me up the butt dust lol

[BrewMaster]

i just looked at what it said under his name. location says MI and I assume it to be correct.

I had no idea Ann Arbor is the gay capitol of the midwest. I was there 2 months ago and I thought it was a cute little college down with not much else to speak of. And they had good beer at Arbor Brewing Co FWIW.

[WhiskeyPapa]

Here are actual quotes from our household (we're starting to write them down so we can remember them):

Mom: “I wonder what would kill these ladybugs?”
Naomi: “I know, guns would!”

Tim (praying before lunch): “…and thanks for dirt, because without it we would just keep falling and falling and falling.”

Me (reading Luke 14): “But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,”
Anna: “Not to my birthday party!”

Betsy (singing): “I wanna stay until Y-M-C-8!”

Naomi (complaining because her sister was staring at her): “What? Do I look like John Kerry or something?”

Anna: What are you making?
Mom: Seasoning for the chicken.
Anna: I bet the chicken will like that!

[welfareloser]

oh, lordy, those are priceless... being the deviant that i am, the ladybugs one really got me good

and brewmaster, how could you go to ann arbor and not go to GRIZZLY PEAK?!?!?!?! it's the greatest brewpub on the planet. their beers are the best. ever. anywhere. period. i will fight you to prove my point if i have to!!!!

and they serve bread made from spent brewing grains with herbed butter... ooohhh... heaven... after a few tries, i finally perfected my imitation of their bread.

when i lived in ann arbor, i was half a block from grizzly peak. ate there 2-3 times a week. every friday night, with about 6-10 other people from my lab... oh... it was well worth the $800/month rent on that crappy little un-insulated attic to live there... for one year, anyway

[Jenny]

HAHA Those are great wwp! The material you get with 10 kids must be amazing.

[bachviet]

Those are funny...

You hadn't posted in the thread at that time

(since that's all that list is, a listing of everyone, everywhere, who had posted, at that time)

[ShawnLee]

Yeah, there's a lot of that crap in MA.

Me (reading Luke 14): “But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,”
Anna: “Not to my birthday party!”

Oh man, I'm going to be using that in a sermon.

Naomi (complaining because her sister was staring at her): “What? Do I look like John Kerry or something?”

That's cool.

[Yossarian]

don't worry obby, you're still one of the hottest people i've never met

[BrewMaster]

Tim (praying before lunch): “…and thanks for dirt, because without it we would just keep falling and falling and falling.”

oh geez. that one was hilarious. your kid is destined to be an astrophysicist or something.

well I had one evening to kill driving from DTW to Adrian, MI and folks on beeradvoate.com recommended Arbor Brewing Co. I wasn't disappointed at all. Great ribs and a fun place.

Next time I have to head out to Adrian, MI I'll stop by Grizzly Peak. It got decent reviews on Beer Advocate. But that is a pretty bold statement you make about their beer being the best on the planet. i can't argue because i've never had their beer, but i will say that i have had some pretty amazing beers in my time. i will reserve judgement until I pass by there in March (or whenever it starts to warm up around there).

Yes, AA (and Royal Oak) are probably the more popular destinations for those who 'putt from the rough'.

The children's hands on schience museum in AA is a great place to go, and Zingerman's Deli was voted one of the best restaurants in the world by Food & Wine or one of those other food magazines. I don't know about most of the other restaurants in the world, but I can say that this one is one of my favorites.
