Why do they put dead people in shop windows?

Well, this isn't as funny as some of the other's I've read ... but it's what I've got. When I was 9, my family moved from Georgia to Miami. In a conversation with my Father, I asked where we were going to live in "His ami". He said, "No son, it's Miami" ... well, only being 9, and the scholar that I was, I thought he meant MYami. So, as the conversation proceeded ... I said, "Yes, I know it's YourAmi". Again, trying to correct me my Father said, "No Douglas, it's called Miami, M-I-A-M-I". I was now very upset and kept saying "I know it's YourAmi, why are we going?" I can only imagine what the people around us thought of that conversation. Eventually, my Father wrote it down and explained it all to me. I lived in "hisami" for 15 years ... ;P D.
This also reminded me of another one, but not of me, but rather my 16 year old daughter when she was only just learning to speak. We would go and visit my mother and father and refer to them as "Grandma and Grandpa Meech". Well little Emma didn't quite catch things quite right and for some time referred to my mother as "Gramma Gramma" and referred to my father as just "Meech". It took us months to figure out why she always called my dad just plain 'Meech'. :-D Chris Meech It's much easier to get rich telling people what they want to hear.

That was me at the age of 4 on a crowded rush hour bus during the run up to christmas. Aparently everyone in the bus stopped talking to hear my mum's answer. So, what's the most embarrasing thing you ever asked in a big loud voice as a child? (Not necessarily for you, but for the unfortunate adult that had to answer the question) --Colin Mackay--

At the hospital having an EKG done (about 5 yrs). I knew what electro meant - they were going to electrocute me! Soooo, I broke free, ran through the hospital screaming bloody murder until restrained and "educated":-O. We were at McDonalds, and my parents asked my little sister if she wanted an ice cream Sundae. She started crying "But I want it now!!":rolleyes: In the mall, first time she ever encountered a person with colored skin, "LOOK HIS SKIN IS BLACK!!!":doh: I try to think but nothing happens.

One time in a restaurant I stood up on my seat and pointed at two police officers one table over and in a loud voice asked my mom: "Are they pigs?". Apparently they took it well.

This still gets laughs in our family to this day... We were on our way to my cousin's wedding. My brother (10) and I (14) were in the back seat of the car. My parents popped in a Beatles tape, and being the annoying children that we were, we began to hoot and holler about being forced to listen to "old people's music". There was a pen and a napkin in the back seat, so I wrote "Help! Our parents are making us listen to the Beatles" on it and stuck it in my window for a few seconds. We all laughed, and I took it down. My brother decided that if it got a laugh once, it would get a laugh again. He took that napkin and stuck it in his window. Just as we drove past a State Patrol car. I saw the officer look over at us and then look away. Then his head whipped back and focused on the napkin (all he could read was "Help!"). They instantly slowed down, changed lanes behind us, and on came the flashing lights. We pulled over, and the cop came up to my mom's side of the car with his holster undone and his hand on his gun. He asked us "Are you kids all right?". "Yes, sir". "Can I see the note?". "Yes, sir". As the officer read the note, he handed it back and said "I wouldn't advise doing that again. We've had cases where this kind of thing wasn't a joke.". "Yes, sir". We drove off on our way the wedding, my dad, my brother, and I all laughing our heads off while my mom was reading us the riot act. We ended up being late for the wedding, and of course we had to tell everyone why... Josh Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have a back-ache...
