Kids can be so brutally honest.

[Stretch]

Some of my cousins came up from Atlanta to visit my family this weekend.

Stereotypical Asian family - father is a dermatologist, mother is a malpractice attorney, with six year old son and three year old daughter.

Anyway, my brother-in-law is now 38, no longer a spring chicken, and starting to see his hair thinning. He was giving the three year old a ride on his shoulders while the rest of us were eating lunch, when the following exchange takes place:

Kid: "Uncle Mickey, does the hole in your head hurt?"

silence

Brother-in-law: "Not physically."

Is it wrong that I laughed?

[diethx]

Nope, I would have too. That's pretty funny - and I like his response.

Haha, I love kids for that reason.

One time I was visiting some family and my little cousin who was 3 at the time climbed up into my grandmother's lap and announced "Hey Nana, you are fat!!!" My grandmother is digustingly obese, but she got really upset and offended and was like "Who told you that?!"

My cousin laughed and said "No one, you just are!" in this matter of fact tone.

Stereotypical Asian family - father is a ninja, mother is a ninja, with six year old son and three year old daughter who are also ninjas.

Fixed.

Heh. Yep, kids can be pretty straightforward. Back when my complexion was really suffering, I was sitting at a CVS pharmacy waiting for my Accutane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotretinoin) prescription to be filled, and I heard a little kid ask his mom: "Why are there red marks all over that guy's face?" and I told him (not harshly or critically): that's what I'm here to fix!

Thankfully, after about two dozen medications, that very drug did the trick and I don't have to scare kids at the pharmacy anymore. :p

[Methais]

You still scare them, it's just not your complexion doing it.

[Ashliana]

Probably.

Hehe I went to the hospital one Halloween to visit my mil & on the way in there was a pizza delivery guy in front of us with about 10 pizza's. I assume he was there for the staff because of the 'holiday'.

The guy probably weighed in at 350 lbs & my daughter who was 3 or 4 at the time just blurts out 'Mommy why does that fat man need all those pizza's?' while we're 2 feet from him.....

Fun times.

I'm going to revel in my baldness.

[Ulkov]

Yea, but after that the kid asks me, "Momma outside?"

So I tell him, "Yea, she's going outside to finish being a bitch." and I swear to god...he says, "Whas that, thunder cunt?"

"Yes, son, that's right."

true story.

Yes, kids can be brutally honest.

I love my son more and more with every passing second for this very fact.

Once when I was about 10, I made friends with this Polish kid. He lived in Pendleton, a rural suburb of Buffalo where Tim McVeigh grew up. I went to his house, and I was obviously the first non-white person who'd ever been in it, because his 5 year old brother turned to his mother and asked, "Mommy, why's he so dirty?"

At least she was more than sufficiently horrified.

That is quite an awesome response from your brother-in-law.

Why is Ashliana a guy?

Last trip out here my youngest nephew told me "you aren't as fat as you used to be" (he's 7)

His last day here I bent down to kiss him goodbye and after I kissed him he said "your beard hurts, no wonder you aren't married".

From a fucking 7 year old, I gotta take this shit?!

No, no you don't.
