What is the cutest or funniest thing a kid has said

[Chug And Red]

I'm just curious, what is the cutest or funniest thing you have ever heard a kidlet say when they saw you detecting? We all run into them, one way or another, I swear, detectors are kid magnets!!! They see us and they come running!!! The cutest we heard was a little tyke, maybe about 3 years old, in a clear high voice he told his daddy he wanted one of those, pointing to Chug swinging away! Well, he was so cute, I gave him a toy car we had found, after asking dad if it was ok!!! Red

"My punkle bwead pis da pewfect axampl ov piddle paged mail mascuinity." I still have to work with her on the correct pronunciations but at least she's got the sentence down pat now.

I really don't want to open the floodgates on this subject, but I have dozens of them I can think of several just on nicknames alone. I guess when your a kid, the world is your oyster. Ahh shucks, here are a few deemed appropriate for the forum.

T.J. Jones (Tooth Jones) We had a kid Kevin Farmer, whose front teeth were extremely huge for his little head. It looked like a pair of tombstones starring at you.

Ringo ( Orlando ) This guy was as ugly as sin, and looked exactly like Ringo Starr. Heck, we were already well into our teens, so there was no way we were backing out of this. Every day, it was, Hey Ringo, How are you doing? The reply was always the same, "My name is Orlando."

Ya-Ya ( Eddie ) Had a bad case of stuttering, so Ya-Ya was a fitting name.. When he got excited, the stuttering became worse and we'd say "Ya-Ya, spit it out."

Note: Ya-Ya went on to become a very successful computer professor for a university. To this day, we all take credit for straightening him out.

There are many other nicknames and the cruelty didn't stop at just names

It was a tough neighborhood to say the least

Bigscoop, it took me minute to figure it out, my son's are all grown, waiting for grandbabies now, how cute!!! She has it perfect, out of the mouths of babes!
Spart, omg rough neighborhood, guess you had to have a thick skin. My middle son who will soon be 23 had a speech problem when he was young, he called anything with a siren a "WOO WOO" cause of the noise, and when he was born, his older brother was 18 months old, and couldn't say Jonathan, so he called his brother Don Don, which eventually became Jon Jon!
I heard a kid one time ask his dad what we were doing, the dad said we were looking for treasure, like coins and jewelry. The boy thought about it, then asked "If they want those things, why don't they go to the store and get it?" Dad didn't have an answer for him!!!! Red

no kids ever said anything to me while detecting...it was the parents approach and the kids in tow.

so I spoke mainly to adults only and nope, didn't give them anything I found.

one adult approached and said his 14 yr old kid lost a football ring thing, but I didn't have it, if I did I would have shown something like that.

kids say the truth mostly as they see it, unless you have a mimic...adn that is not good cause most kids will mimic to survive their environment.


now while not detecting and just beaching it, I got many kids 'show me whats in the bucket, cause their parents could care less and not interact. the buckets were never 'extraordinary' but to them they must have been 'first finds'

yea a kid chats, I do show interst.

Yea, a Rhino barely has any skin next to me
( Yea, I know it is hide, but I'll call it skin anyway. That's how I roll )

Growing up we dished it out, as well as took it.. That is how one grows

Honestly, if we saw it was too hurtful to a person we did stop.. We would just look for something else to annoy them with.. If they cried over everything, well there was no need for them to stay with us.

True, but sometimes those are the ones who need help the most. My foster sister and I were in elementary school one day, we saw a group of boys pick up a kid who had CP. They held his legs spread wide(He was spastic, his legs stayed straight) and ran his crotch into a tree. Wev were only 10 and 11, but my sis and I went running, she attacked the boys and I went running for help. The handicapped boy was pulled out of school, and the boys were expelled. It was horrible. At least you guys knew what was cruel and what wasn't! Red

A while back, I was waiting to get my hair cut in the waiting room..... a mother and very young son was talking about what they where doing for dinner that night. The son (probably about 9 years old) was talking about how he would love MacDonalds.... and the mom said, "I'm planing on cooking meatloaf". The child was very hateful and proffesed his love for MacDonalds... and I spoke up and said, "I personally would love homemade meatloaf over MacDonalds any day. Sadly, he didn't understand.

[FarmerChick]

no, it is smart of the kid to pick what they believe is best.......come on, adult choice over kid choice

SAD?

Let me ask you one question then.......






Does that meatloaf come with a toy

mom needs to cook and pack it into a kids box from McD....yep it is cheating but at least the kid will get a good meal....Meatloaf.......gave me an idea for tonight...thank you.

Take out occasionally isn't bad, if more kids ate healthier at home, they wouldn't have so many problems. I'm a diabetic on insulin, I have a book that tells me what the calories are and everything, omg eating some of that stuff isn't good for you at all. And unfortunately, some people can't cook, so yea maybe it could be good going to McDonalds, if you eat right, now my kids, only wanted the food cause of the toys, so it was a rare treat to have it, when they were young, I did all my own baking and cooking, my family ate good because of my cooking, in fact, to this day, they prefer my cooking over their stepmom's!!!! LOL Red

[FarmerChick]

yup and there are days I would take McNuggets over meatloaf

rare but if you hit me on the right day asking that question------

I had a 13 yo kid come up just the other day as I was detecting a field behind a school playground, and said..... "Mister do you need some money?" I was dressed in my diggin clothes, hadn't shaved for a couple days, and was diggin for ??

After I said no, I was just looking for coins, one of them threw a bunch of change out onto the field. Go figure.

[spartacus53]

ddjames, that reminded me of something that happened to one of my friends years ago.

At the time he was driving a rundown VW Bug, it looked and ran like crap, but it was still a form of transportation. Anyway, while he was stopped a light, some kid rode up on is bicycle and and said, "Hey mister, nice car..."

He laughed and peddled away
