"Kids say the darndest things!"

I have several children close to me... most act like I look the same as I always have and some have noticed I have no hair!

A co-worker brought her daughter to work, she just loves me and has the biggest personality at the age of five!
As I was leaving this is how the conversation went...
Bri was watching Heather Grace and showing her what tellers do.
I walk by to leave and...
Heather Grace shouts: Are you leaving?
Me: Yes, I'm going home.
I lean over and give her a hug.
She leans back and says: Your ears are sooo COLD!
Me: I know I don't have hair to cover them!
Heather Grace: Where is your hair?!
(my experience so far is kids don't understand so I tell them a little story)
Me: Well I lost it and can't find it! If you see it around here you let me know!
Heather Grace smiles and in her serious bossy voice: What color is it?!
Me(holding back the laughter): its brown

I walk out and come back to work the next day to find out that after I left Heather Grace turned to Bri and said... "So is it all stuck together or separate?"

It has been a week and she is still telling her momma we need to find my hair. She said not everyone looks good bald but I am awesome! She just loves me and that child makes my day!
We have planned to buy some and leave it around the bank for her to find next time she stops by! :)

What are some things that have happened to you that made you laugh or smile?!

I love "So is it all stuck together or separate?".

My niece is 25 now. But when she was little I did a TV interview and then went to visit my parents. At that time I usually wore a long Diana Ross type wig, but for the interview I did not wear a wig but an African hat and one earring. She didn't even seem to notice that I had no hair. She summoned me close and I thought she was going to ask about my hair, but instead she asked me why I was only wearing one earring. ;) Kids are wonderful.

Today this little wild child that terrorizes the salon while his mother gets her hair colored sees me and is just starring not running around breaking things for once. So i look at him and say "What? What do i look funny with not hair." Logan probably 2 or 3. After i said that to him just joking and smiling the whole time he turned around and proceeded to be the destructive disaster of a little boy he always is. A few minutes later i was sitting up front looking for something one the computer and he climbs behind me in the chair cause i was leaned forward and starts rubbing my head very gently it really felt good and kinda tickled. The thing that was so shocking to me was how sweet and gently he was about it because he doesnt do anything softly. He will headbutt anything and just keep right one going, without even flinching. His 5 year old brother saw him touching my head and took the opportunity to see what it felt like and i had to two wild little boys mesmerized by rubbing my head for about 5 minutes and then they asked me for a sucker and ran off to get into trouble again the girls i work with were as shocked as i was at how delicate they were being with me.
