Children...

At my place of employment, we have an old car that we let kids climb on. I like the idea, but sometimes I wonder...

The car is right outside the office window so we can keep an eye on it, and being right there, we can hear everything the kids say.

Hands down, the most common thing we hear (besides "vroom") is:

But when kids get together in groups, it's amazing how crazy they get. They say things that I'm sure they don't understand.

A few examples of actual things I've heard:
   1) An itty bitty kid pretending to drive his elderly grandma around.

   2) A grade school field trip.

(That's the Sean Kingston song "Beautiful Girls," if you couldn't tell.

Singing in the car at a young age = awesome. That song = less awesome but more hilarious.)

And one that I heard just today, and thankfully they repeated it so I could tell you this truthfully,
   3) A group of nine home-schooled kids, none older than 8.

Truthfully I thought they said "pawn shop" until they repeated it a few times. Their poor parents had so completely tuned them out that they didn't even notice. (Granted they had wandered off without the kids and were no longer nearby.)

Prior to this, I had been over at our local library where the woman in line in front of me had four boys that she was completely incapable of controling.

To one side of the line, the two older boys were fighting (probably 8 and 10).

On the other side, one boy had just wandered off (probably 5ish) and was poking around behind the counter.

The lady herself was holding onto a little boy who has sobbing and wailing so hard that his body had sagged over into a lump, but she still held onto his arm.

At one point, another lady and her two quiet kids walked by, cutting through the line between me and Mom #1. Her little boy (Boy #2) tripped on the other little boy's body (Boy #1) but Mom #2 had such a grip on that boy that she just kept going and pulled him (Boy #2) back to his feet without slowing down. The boy just kind of limply swayed as he floated back up into the air and onto his feet. It reminded me a lot of something being dragged behind a car.

So yeah... this kind of tapered off and lost it's funny. Sorry, guys! (But hey, my cars are getting better, eh?)
