kid questions

Today I took the ten kid question from Art Linkletter's humor classic Kids Say the Darndest Things.

What are some things you do that get you into trouble?
LT: Destroying some things of C's. [Why do you do that?] I don't know.
C: Disobey. Being bad. Biting.

If I gave you five dollars right now, what would you spend it on?


LT: Go to the 99c store and buy five things.

C: Something that costs five dollars. A dolly.


Tell me about your pets.


LT: Our fish like to just swim around, and our cats like to eat food and sit on people's laps.

C: They are fun. They're cute. They like to eat cat food and drink water and milk.

What kinds of things would you do if you were a doctor?


LT: I would drive the ambulance.

C: Help people by making them better.


How would you settle an argument with another boy/girl?


LT: Say "Stop it. Now believe me!"

C: Stop talking.


What do you want life to be like when you're grown up?


LT: I don't know. [Use your imagination]. Good. [OK, then, what are some things that you DON'T want to happen in your life?] Going to war. [Anything else?] No.

C: Happy. [What would make your life happy?] Having pets, and still being able to ride my bike. A bigger one, though.


How does television work?


LT: From the television station. Because of the video.

C: I don't know.


How can you tell if a person's smart?


LT: If he knows how to build an AT-AT.

C: Because they do what they're supposed to do without being told to. And remember when I made my bed all by myself?


Where does the sun go at night?


LT: On the other side of the world.

C: Down.


What would you like to tell the whole world?


LT: Never to buy My Little Pony stuff. I said that one because C was right in here. She'll never say that one.

C: That I can do things without being told to.
