Kids really do say the darndest things. I’m hanging out with a lot of children these days, and actually, I was one of those kids who said the darndest things.
• Literal. Sis: What is a chicken’s offspring called? Me: Chicken baby!
• Leadership. Chak la! Mang kia ti hi peng gong gong [Block the ball! Don’t stand there like an idiot].
• Logic. Dad, why is he still alive? I thought he died in the movie we saw last week.
• Racism. Julia Roberts is a prostitute [in Pretty Woman]? I thought all prostitutes were Indians!
