ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

Art Linkletter had a television show by this name where he would interview children 3 to 8 years old and draw out "cute" responses.  Today I am going to share with you a few stories that Linkletter would have been proud of.  The first comes from Exchange staffer Scott Bilstad relating a dinnertime comment from his 5-year-old daughter Chloe:

Chloe:  We only have 4 people in this family.
Momma:  I don't think we are going to have any more babies in this family.  Should we have Papa fixed?
Papa:  What?  Come on, that is a little confusing...
Chloe:  No Papa, she means like so you don't tell jokes anymore.

A second story comes from an active member of the World Forum's Men in Early Care and Education Working Group:

Today I got invited to Sara’s birthday party.  "And how old are you going to be?" I asked.
“I’ll be five,” said Sara.
“Wow, you sure are growing up,” I commented.
“Two curves and two straights,” she announces.  I’m confused so I think to myself about the shape of the number 5 and still I’m confused, so I asked her what she was talking about.
“Two curves and two straights, that's how you get to my house, silly.”
