Was just watching this guy on Conan tell this story thats so typical.

He said this about his 5 year old daughter:

One day I was driving down the road...looking in the rear view mirror when she was about five. Sometimes fathers do that, and they watch and admire, and wonder whats going through their kids heads, what are they going to be when they grow up, what inspires them?

Anyway, she had this toy stethoscope, like a nurse, and she picked it up and put the ear buds in and I thought "This is the moment....She wants to be a nurse...", and I was thinking, how that was cool...

Suddenly she picked up the part that you are supposed to put on peoples heart to check it... and she put it up to her mouth and said into it -"Welcome to Mcdonalds can I take your order?" lol



Thought that was soo funny

Mine use to sing into hers!

    Mcdonalds is known for having a high turnover. She'll probably quit.

        I was watching AFV a couple weeks ago. Little boy with a plastic bat was learning to play t-ball. His sister was watching from the side.

        The father said "ok, batter up!" and the little boy looked at his dad then walked over and started hitting his sister with the bat.

        In another video, the kid was 3-4 and standing in front of the t-ball on its stand. Dad said "keep your eye on the ball" - kid stepped up to the ball and stared at it from about 2 inches away.

    My goal was to turn my son into a mathematical genius and maybe to test out Plato's thoughts about geometry being intrinsic to humans. I'm geeky like that.

    I called my son over to see his new toy, unscrewed the lid , took the blocks out and put them in through the proper holes. I unscrewed the lid again, took the blocks out, put the lid back on and asked my son to give it a try.

    He took a block, tried it in various holes and looked puzzled. He thought for a moment, took the lid off the toy and chucked the blocks in. The he looked at me and smiled triumphantly.

    I still like that kid.
    ROTFLMAO!

    Smart kid!

    Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have shown him how to open it! It is like the rubics cube guys that move the labels!
