C can be funny

After I blogged about K's funnies the other day, C did something funny. So I had to share. As Daddy says, "C's humor is accidental." So true.

C was reading to me the other day for school. There were rows of words and each row had something in common. For example: gulls, shell, clam, fish--all have the ocean in common (he said the pond) Another example: clean, dust, shine, mops --what Mommy does every Friday (he said "Well you don't mop; you use that swiffer thing. Thank you Mr. Literal)

Here is the row that cracked me up: cuts, paste, sheet, glue--all have art time in common.

Here is our conversation.
Me: what do these have in common.
C: Well, cuts--like you have cuts on your arm; paste--like toothpaste; sheet---like what you cover up with at night......................

By this time I am laughing so hard cuz he is so NOT going in the direction that I thought he would--the direction that I thought the words led. I was laughing so hard that he never told me anything about the last word or what they all had in common. Cuts on your arm, toothpaste, and a bed sheet? Not sure what the connection would have been.

So yes he was funny; but yes Daddy, it was by accident.
