Fw: 4 year olds

[Guest guest]

Ever notice how a 4 year old's voice is louder than 200 adult voices? Several years ago, I returned home from a trip just when a storm hit, with crashing thunder and severe lightning. As I came into my bedroom about 2a.m., I found my two children in bed with my wife, Karey, apparently scared by the loud storm. I resigned myself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night. The next day, I talked to the children, and explained that it was O.K. to sleep with Mommy when the storm was bad, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mommy that night. They said OK. After my next trip several weeks later, Karey and the children pickedme up in the airport terminal at the appointed time. Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the terminal to wait for my plane'sarrival along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers. As I entered the waiting area, my 5 year old son saw me, and began shouting, "Hi, Daddy! I've got some good news!" As I waved back, I said loudly, "What's the good news, son?" He replied very loudly, "Nobody slept with Mommy while you were away this time!" Everyone in the terminal looked at me, then my wife, who'd turned 59 shades of red in the span of 10 seconds. I laughed so hard I ached. -------------- An acquaintance of mine who is a physician told this story about her then 4yr old daughter. On the way to preschool, the doctor had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it. 'Be still, my heart,' thought my friend, 'my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!' Then the child spoke to the instrument: "Welcome to Mc's. May I take your order?" -------------- A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, "I'm Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter." Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say,"I'm Janey Sugarbrown." The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said,"Aren't you Mr. Sugarbrown's daughter?" With her mother standing just a few feet away, the little girl replied, "I thought I was, but Mommy says I'm not." -------------- A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?" Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough." The little girl thought about it for a few moments then asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?" -------------- A mother was teaching her 3-year-old the Lord's prayer. For several evenings at bedtime she repeated it after her mother. One night shesaid she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer. "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us some E-mail, Amen." -------------- A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, he looked at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible and he picked up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between pages."Mommy, look what I found,"the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered: "It's Adam's clothes!!!!!" ---------------At the beginning of a children's sermon, one girl came up to the altar wearing a beautiful dress. As the children were sitting down around the pastor, he leaned over and said to the girl, "That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?" The girl replied almost directly into the pastor's clip-on mic, "Yes, and my Mom said it's a bitch to iron." --------------- A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber chair, while her dad gets his hair cut, eating a snack cake. The barber says to her, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair onyour Twinkie." She replied enthusiastically, "Oh I know! And Mommy says

I'm gonna get boobs too!"
