Dont children say the funniest things?

As a family we were fortunate one year to holiday in the beautiful county of Somerset. For one day of our trip, we decided to visit Longleat Safari Park, on approaching the entrance there were the usual signs and directions and as we passed the ticket office we saw a large warning sign informing passengers to close their windows in several of the wild animal enclosures. As i turned to my daughter i could see her studying the sign itently, she then looked up at me and asked "Mom, why do we have to shut the windows?", "because the animals are wild and we wouldn't want to get a lion in the car now would we?" i replied, she paused and then in a very matter of fact voice said "No, it would make the car seats all hairy!". We had a very large and very hairy German Shepherd dog at the time, so i suppose to a 4 year old there was very little difference! 

Dont they make you Proud!

On another occasion we had friends over and were playing a selection of board games, one of the questions was to name a country begining with A to which one of the guests shouted out Africa, with that my six year old son stood up and promptly announced that 'Africa is a continent not a country!' I was so proud, unfortunatly he later told everyone that Wedlock was a country that married couples had to visited.  Oh well, you can't have everything!
