(I am helping my younger brother—both of us Trekkies—prep for a vet nurse exam. We come across an interesting question.)
Question: “How can a person be infected with Q Fever?”
Brother: *without missing a beat* “By watching too much Star Trek.”
(I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.)

Five-year-old sister: “Do you think I’m pretty?”
Older sister: “Of course I do!”
Five-year-old sister: “Good. Because if you said no, I was going to smack you up!”
(My daughter has gotten jelly babies from her aunt earlier, and is trying to find them. My husband asks my other daughter and 3 year old son.)
Daughter: “Daddy, I cant find my bag of jelly babies.”
Husband: “Has anyone seen her jelly babies?”
Son: “Yes. I put them away.”
Husband: “There you go. Son, where did you put them?”
Son: *pointing to his mouth* “In here.”
(I’m about three and it’s my first time riding a horse. The only other types of horses I’ve ridden are the carousel horses at fairs.)
Mom: “How are you doing, sweetie?”
Me: “Where’s the music?”
Mom: “What?”
Me: “The other horses at the fairs play music. Why won’t this one?!”

(I am a young child, and I see the occasional child psychologist due to a learning disability. She is trying to get me to reveal which parent is my favourite, without actually considering asking me which parent is my favorite.)
Child psychologist: “If you were stuck on a deserted island, and you could have only one parent with you, which one would it be?”
Me: “My dad.”
Child psychologist: “Why is that?”
Me: “Because he could build a boat and get us off the island.”
