Over last weekend while my wife was brushing my daughter's hair we were discussing what features are from whom. Such as, she has my long eyelashes, she has my lips ...ect. I, being a full blooded stocky Italian male with a large round booty, stated "well she definitely has my butt" to which my six year old responded without missing a beat "My butt isn't hairy!"

I work as a nursery nurse in a day-care center woth children between 4 and 12 years. One day I had this dress on with a wide waist belt. So ot was lunch time and this girl, 8 years old, asked me why I had a belt on. "Because it makes me look thinner", i said and she replied with a straight face: "what? That belt makes you really fat!" i swear i wanted to only eat salad at that day. I knew she didnt meant that but it was quite a burn she gave me. Children can be so savage.

I would love to see more posts like this on BP and less of the "outrage" posts of crazy things people did or said.
