Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Some cute stuff that kids say. This illustrates nicely how people will substitute a word they do know for a word that no longer has meaning. This is how Cinderella ended up with glass slippers. (vair=some kind of fur, became verre=glass) A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, " Thou shall not take the covers off thy neighbor's wife. " Our five-year-old son Mark couldn't wait to tell his friend about the movie we had watched on television, " 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. " The scenes with the submarine and the giant octopus had kept him wide-eyed. In the middle of the telling, my husband interrupted Mark, " What caused the submarine to sink? " With a look of incredulity Mark replied, " Dad, it was the 20,000 leaks!! " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
