"Flying hamsters!" (kids say the darndest things)

This time of year in Maryland, elementary school students learn about Martin Luther King Jr. His philosophies of brotherhood, his ideas of equality, and how he strove to make the world a better place.

Well, a family friend of mine has a little 8 year old boy who was learning about MLK in school, and had a worksheet where he was asked questions like "What can you do to make the world a better place?" and "What would you like to have in the world?" to go along with the lesson of brotherhood and equality.

His answer to what he would like to have in the world? Flying hamsters.

I have to agree with him, I think flying hamsters would be pretty awesome. But he might have missed the point of the lesson

Also, his answer for what he can do to make the world a better place? Cleaning up the kitty litter.

Post other funny things you've heard kids say!

My brother (5 years old) suggested I name my hamster Nick Clegg! We're a working class family, so I thought this was pretty hilarious

Well the other night my daughter (she's 3) would not go to bed. She kept getting up and making excuses.. So she finally comes up and says "Mom! A ferret just comed out of my ear! Did you know that?"

Also, when she is frustrated, she says "oh, barnacle." She has gotten that from Spongebob...

Hahahaha my favorite part is "did you know that?" As if you WOULDN'T notice that your daughter had ferrets coming out of her ears...

haha.. Yes.. I can honestly say she is nuts sometimes.. Now she is supposed to be going to bed and she comes out saying she doesn't care about colors anymore.. I mean really? What the heck is she talking about?

Maybe she's sleepwalking. I used to sleepwalk all the time and say the strangest things to my parents, until I was about 7 years old. It took them a while to catch on.

No.. She hadn't even falled asleep yet.. just trying to stall!
