I'm laughing about it because it's a refreshing way to look at life, not because the man was a "little person." I'm tall and have found it funny when little kids say I'm a giant because little kids are little kids.
Thanks, lubaussie. Yes, I'd be embarrassed if my kid said it and would apologize if the man had heard (and understood), but that doesn't mean it's not an adorable comment.

For background, we speak English and Hebrew at home, no Yiddish except for a few common expressions. When my son was just two, we were visiting my very proper grandmother. He belched loudly and said "bubby, I made a greps!". Dh and I were mortified, she's very proper, what's she going to think (but he's only 2!) Well, without missing a beat, bubby responds: good for you, I see you two are teaching him Yiddish!

I frequently caused the anti- theft detector to beep as I left stores and could never understand why, until I eventually realized it happened whenever I used a specific pocketbook. Presumably, there was some store anti-theft device in the seam of the pocketbook - or something- that made it beep all the time. I explained this to my kids as the constant beeping was unnerving to them.
Anyway, as I was exiting a store w/ my kids once, it didn't beep, so my kid said really loud in front of security, store staff, and a bunch of customers "How come it didn't beep even though you have that thing in your pocketbook!?!??"
(anon bec. I told this to many people IRL)

We had just tried putting soy cheese on hamburgers. I guess DS, age 6 or so, must have liked it.
At a shul kiddush, the mother of a new friend, a Rebbetzin no less, asked him if he wanted to come over for lunch. "We'll have hamburgers," she said. At the top of his lungs, he yelled, "I don't like hamburgers. I only like cheeseburgers!"

DD to my father, very matter-of-fact: "You're not as cuddly as Mommy because you don't have breasts. Did you know I have pink nipples?"

When I took my kids shopping at Target and we passed the bras and panty section, they said on top of their lungs 'look that's what mommy wears!' 😳

These are too funny!
1. Driving home from school one day my 5yo son says to me "Mommy you know there is no such thing as dinosaurs anymore" So I replied Yes they're extinct to which he replies " I think the Chinese ate them all - Mommy why do the Chinese eat everything!!" I was on the floor
2. My parents are Rabbi of an orthodox but not all members are frum shul in South Africa ... one family came over for Friday night that had never been to a Rabbi before and their almost 2 year old sits on my moms lap and points at her boobs and shouts " Look boobie" the poor family didn't know where to put themselves, we were all in hysterics my mom could not stop laughing (and was totally fine with it)
3. I was shopping with my 2 yo and was heavily pregnant ... a guy with a huge tummy is walking down the isle and my kid (really loudly) says look Mommy he also has a baby in his tummy ... I was sooooo embarressed!
(anon cos most friends know these stories)

Shortly after having a baby, I was taking all the kids to the doctor. We walked by a very obese man. Oldest DD (almost 4 at the time) starts saying, in a confused tone, that he's going to have a baby but he's a man but he's going to have a baby and asking me how that's possible

My daughter brought a tampon to school and told her teacher that her mommy has "snakes" in her bathroom!

my 8 yr old son did not know that it's inappropriate to talk about nursing in public - it was the first time he found out what nursing is (he didnt remember from his now 5 yr old brother). Succos in my parents succah, in front of my father, brother, husband, etc, he tells my 3 yr old nephew proudly: "Do you know how my baby brother eats? From my mother's 'boch'! (stomach)" Boy did I have to change the topic...

Last Shabbos my son was telling over the parsha at the Shabbos table. Dear granddaughter Tikva is 23 months old.
DS: "And then Hashem came down on Har Sinai and said 'I am Hashem.' "
Tikva: "And I am Tikva."
Thanks to wonderful DDIL for telling me this anecdote.
