Kids are honest and pure, but sometimes they say things that embarrass their parents. This happened in the funny stories in this collection. Even though what the kids said made their parents want to hide at first, these moments have become funny memories that they will always remember.
The Story:
We were having a barbecue party with the neighbors when their 5-year-old son, Tommy, looked at the sausages and suddenly said, “Mommy and Daddy have a special toy they play with when I go to bed!” Everyone went quiet. The mom turned very red, and the dad looked like he wanted to disappear. Then, to our horror, Tommy started to say that his parents make a lot of loud noises, and he can hear them from his bedroom for hours.
It turns out that Tommy was talking about his parents’ favorite evening activity: working on puzzles. I felt embarrassed for them, knowing how easily Tommy’s innocent words could be misunderstood. As his mom’s close friend, I knew they loved doing puzzles together as a way to relax after the kids went to bed.
The reason Tommy called the puzzle a “toy” was because he couldn’t say “puzzle” correctly and used “toy” instead.
