Funny things kids say

My 6-year-old nephew had a conversation with my grandmother, his Bubby.

Tommy: Are you 80?
Bubby: I'm going to be 85.
Tommy: You're 84.
Bubby: That's right.
Tommy: That's big! You're old!

IE 8: Get it before it gets you!

This is a public service announcement for all of my non-computer geek friends:

 
Microsoft released the newest version of Internet Explorer today, IE 8. You can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx. If you choose not to download it now and you’re a Windows user with automatic updates turned on, then it’s probably going to end up on your computer eventually.
 
Those of you who ARE geeks probably already knew this was coming!

Judgment Day from a Toddler

I was shopping in the soup aisle of the grocery store when suddenly a can of minestrone on the top shelf said "Goodbye cruel world!" and plunged to its untimely death right there on the linoleum floor. I stared at it in shock (It wasn't my fault... I'm not even tall enough to reach the top shelf!) but I was prepared to move on. Then I noticed the 3-year-old girl standing a few feet away. She was staring at me and the suicidal can, wide-eyed and tugging on her mother's shirt, beseeching her with cries of "Mommy? Mommy! Loooooook!" I glanced at the mess on the floor then at the child wondering how much of her innocence I would destroy if I kept shopping. She stared back, not yet ready to abandon her attempts to bring her mother's attention to the scene of the crime. Mommy! Mommy!! I closed my eyes and attempted reason... I didn't tell the soup to jump and even if I did, who cares if some rugrat witnessed the event? Her testimony wouldn't stand up in court. MOMMY!! Opening one eye, I peeked at the tot in time to see her drawing in a huge breath that, in a child, can only indicate that something very loud is about to occur. It was the kind of intake of air that is followed by events often described as "bloodcurdling" or "spine-chilling". With that, my decision was made and I scurried off in the direction of good karma and a store clerk.
