Kids Say The Darndest Things

Laugh out loud books are those that make you smile and laugh (oftentimes belly laugh) even if you are reading it in public (train, bus, wherever).

And the book pictured above, qualifies heads-down amongst such books.

Selected samplings from this gem of a book by Bill Cosby.
+ "Mr. Cosby," a six-year-old once told him,"I know your wife's name."
"Really?", he said. "What is it?"
"Mrs Cosby!"

+ Art Linkletter, who preceded Cosby on this show, summed up kids thus:"..mix raw truth, incomplete knowledge, preposterous speculation and pure imagination."

+ "Do you know the story of Adam and Eve?", asked Cosby of a 6-year-old kid.
"Everyone knows that story," replied the girl.
"Well who made Adam?"
"God"
"And who made Eve?"
"Eve was made out of a rib."
"Yes, but she was made from a special kind of rib."
"A chicken rib."

+ A girl of seven on the scientific wonders to be expected in the 21st Century.
"Whats the one great thing that still needs to be invented?", Cosby asked that girl.
"A roll of toilet paper that never runs out." Go figure!

I could go on and on, but then I would run the risk of being sued by Bantam Books for copyright violation. Plus, with my humor IQ on par with that of a grumpy gorilla, I will screw it up for you. So, get out to your local book store, and plunk down $6.75 for this petite-but-worth book. A recommended MUST READ.

Now, where is that pill to abate that ache from all those belly laughs.
