Kids do say some funny things and some cute things. Sometimes they say things you rather wish they hadn't [usually when you have company] but my kids, most often, come out with a surreal comment or impossible question which often have me laughing until I cry. Here are some of my daughter's more memorable quotes.

• Do cats know what they look like? Like, does a black cat know it is black?
• When my cat sees its reflection, does she recognize herself?
• I wish I was an only child but I would still like my brother to be my brother.
• If we spend this life being good so we have a better next life, then when we get our next life we can't remember our previous life, what's the point in being good because you won't know if you are having a better life, will you?
• I have an NSPCC Tipline Card and I know how to use it.
• and [my current favorite, on arriving home from school as indignant as heck]

  "They gave us a spelling test today!" [said with venom]
  "Did they sweetie?"
  "Yes and there were 80 words and they didn't even warn us!" [said with disgust]
  "Oooh, that is a lot. You didn't know you were having a test?"
  "Nope, they were testing us to see if anyone needed learning support" [said with exasperation]

  before I could answer, this was followed by, and with real derision:

  -muttering under breath-
  "...for 80 spellings...everyone will need learning support..."
