Grandmother was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter as she'd done many times before.  After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Gramma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!" 
 
##### 
 
My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?" 
 
##### 
 
After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. 
 
As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?" 
 
##### 
 
A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like: "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods." 

The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!" 
   
##### 
 
My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo while I asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied. 
 
##### 
 
A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story. "What's it about?" he asked. "I don't know," she replied. "I can't read." 
 
##### 
 
I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door, saying sagely, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!"  
 
##### 
 
When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with their flashlights." 
 
##### 
 
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure."  "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised. "Mine says I'm four to six."  
 
##### 
 
A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, struggled to keep her cool. "That's interesting," she said, "how do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add  'es'." 

##### 
 
Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. One of the small boys wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child." 
 
##### 
 
A nursery school teacher was delivering a station wagon full of kids home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties. "They use him to keep crowds back," said one child. "No," said another, "he's just for good luck." A third child brought the argument to a close. "They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants.”

"MOMMMM, He's breathing my Air!!"

My cousin is a teacher in Upstate NY and claims whis happened to a co-worker, but I think I have seen the story roaming the internet before, but here goes:

A teacher was instructing her young class in mathmatics, telling stories to make it more interesting.
"One pig had five ears of corn to eat, while his freind had three. They decide to share their corn equally, so they take all the ears over to the farmer and ask him to divide them up. What did the farmer say?"

A hand raised in the back of the room. "He said, 'Holy moley! A talking pig!'"

She could not continue class for 20 minutes.

here's one that my 5 year old daughter did to me fairly recently ....
We were at JC Penneys, walking through the lingerie section, in her loudest voice from the front of the stroller, she says
"Mommy, you need to buy these cuz you don't have any underwear on"
(the ONE day that she watched me get dressed and I decided to go without that day) ...
needless to say, they were a really cute powder blue bra/panty set, so i bought them anyway.

Speaking of odd points of view, my math teacher had interesting technique.

"Back in the day, if you wanted to, say, measure the width of river to build a bridge, what you did was give one end of a rope to a slave and have him swim across. Now if the aligators or the piranhas ate the slave, you got another slave and tried again. Eventually the piranhas would be full and one would get across. Then you'd measure how much rope it took. Usually that slave would then run away."
We're all sitting there aghast.
"But slaves are smart, see, and they figured out that if they stood a certain distance apart on the riverbank and measured the difference in the angles, you could figure out the width of the river without getting a toe wet. It put an end to the escapes but it also saved a fortune in new slaves."
He then proceeded to teach us trigonometry.
