Well, Sometimes - If I'm Real Quiet - I Can Sneak Up On Your Mom

[Earlier today]

Eight-Year-Old: When my wife and I make a baby, I'm going to have it be a surprise.

Me: Have what be a surprise?

8yo: You know, the sex.

Me: [sweating and trying to figure out what exactly the missus told my son about how babies are made]

8yo: Like whether it's a boy or girl.

Me: [resume breathing] Riiiiiight.

LMAO! I can just see his serious little expression. He's so funny. Your reaction was funnier, I'm sure. Did you get it on tape by any chance?

Mark, I replayed this one a few times as I commuted to work. Very funny stuff. And a brilliant link of the title to the text. Great stuff. As Art Linkletter said, "Kids say the darndest things."

It still amazes me when posts like this get so much attention. We have at least one misunderstood dialogue like this a day.
