She doesn’t, incidentally, but if she reads this we’re probably both out of the will.

Henry (holding up a set of novelty fake mustaches that, inexplicably, I bought for my dad): What are these?

Me: Those are mustaches for Grandpa.

Henry: But Grandma already has a mustache.

From the mouths of babes :) Too funny.

lol. Awww. Poor Grandma. I hope my grandchildren don't end up saying that about me some day. Though I am sure, with my luck, they will.

oh man. kids are the epitome of brutal honesty, aren't they? ;)

That's GREAT!! So funny!! Little kids just say anything that comes to mind!!

My son used to call my whiskers "scratchies". We had a baby-sitter over to watch him and as I handed the little guy over to her (a 63-year-old adorable woman) my son loudly announced, "you have scratchies JUST LIKE DADDY!"

My wife and I scrambled desperately to divert his attention elsewhere.

Brilliant!

A three-year old child once pointed to my friend's upper lip and asked why hair grew there. "Because I'm a mammal," she replied.

Ladies and gents - the next Groucho Marx.

Proud to be a member of the depilatory generation. Hopefully no truth bearing kid will ever say that about me.

That is so weird - last year I bought a box of fake mustaches for my dad, too. It was for his birthday, and a mustache was the only thing I could think to get him that he'd never had.

HAHAHA! That's great!

My son embarassed me once...we were in the nail salon, and I was sitting there with my nails under the light, waiting for them to dry. My son, in 2nd grade at the time, was bouncing around on the couch, and I was telling him to settle down. The lady sitting next to me took notice of him and said "Oh, look at his eyes! He's got bedroom eyes, all the girls will think his eyes are sexy."

My son promptly stopped bouncing and became very disgusted indeed. "Ugh!" He loudly proclaimed, looking the lady right in the eyes. "Sex is GAY!!!"

Cut to me in a helpless puddle on the floor. Gotta love 'em!

Sounds like Grandma needs a little waxy waxy. No worries. So do I.

[Vaguely Urban]

I love that he was carrying around a fully-formed opinion about the state of his grandma's upper lip, just awaiting the proper (hair) trigger from you to share.

What other delights is he keeping from you? And us! One way to find out: buy more novelties.

Hot was is SOOOOO my painful friend! Mustache gone, and chin whiskers, too! (farking chin whiskers -- what's that about? a cruel joke?)

[wiseacres]

I had to stop taking my younger son to the grocery store (the only one in town) because they hired a woman with a beard -- literally, inch-long hairs growing from her chin line down her neck. It was hard enough for *me* to not stare; I couldn't even imagine what Jack would say after pondering her carefully for a full minute. He once said to a very attractive, middle-aged woman on the sidewalk "Hey, you old grandma!"

Was the set of novelty fake moustaches this one, by any chance? I bought this as a gift for my brother once, because I was so charmed by the idea of fake moustaches having names (Rogue! Party Boy! Scoundrel! How could you resist?!)

[flea]

I don't know about Alice, but that's definitely the one I bought my dad.

Sally Henson Cold Wax Strips are a girl's best friend.
