Yesterday at work (I work in a supermarket) I hear the following exchange between a mother and her 6/7 year old daughter: : Honey, would you like to pick up some prunes for morning tea snacks at school? : NO! I HATE THEM! HATE THEM HATE THEM HATE THEM! *after a fairly long pause; starts spinning in circles speaking to nobody in particular* And by the way I've never tried them but I know I hate them!

We have super cheap $19 cellphones for sale at the supermarket I work at. A family with two children come into my aisle and the younger boy (about 6?) is complaining to his dad, annoyed that his older sister got a phone. : Why does [sister's name] get a phone? Can I have one? : No, it's another $20. : No it's not, it's $19! : You're not getting a phone today. : Who died...who died and let you make the rules? Sorry kid, no phone for you.

Florida Betty posted:I teach an ESL class a couple nights a week, and sometimes people bring their kids along. One girl came up to me before class and we had this conversation: My grandma passed away when I was about 6, and a while after her funeral we were at my aunt's house for lunch. Apparently I turned to my dad and said, "do you think gran is a skeleton yet?"

Crow Jane posted:My boss's five year old daughter is obsessed with presidents, for some reason. Makes him read her encyclopedia entries about them in lieu of bedtime stories, has a poster of all of them on her wall, etc. Last Christmas, he told her they were going to watch the Garfield special, one of his childhood favorites, and she got really excited. After a few minutes, she got really pouty and told him to turn it off. When he asked why, she replied, very accusingly: Sounds like the sweet girl who was on Ellen a little while ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFismjYRcRM Seems like these two would be the best of friends

I couldn't say "l" sounds for years when I was younger. On pain: "Ouch! I hurt my yeg." Hearing a siren: "Oh yisten! It's the poyice!"
