At work one of our nearly 4 year olds broke his arm at home last weekend. I was telling the group to suggest we send him a get well card - I was explaining how he broke it and someone asked if he had it in one of those thingies that hold it up (a sling) - yes he probably does. Mr 5 piped up with the most deadpan serious look on his face "is he in a wheelchair?" It was priceless.

These are so funny
DD1 didn't exactly make me giggle the other day, but it was one of those 'damn kids!' moments... we were walking out of the shopping centre and an elderly man was sitting out front on his mobility scooter... DD1 points and yells, 'HEY LOOK MUM, THERE'S AN OLD MAN!' *facepalm*... I was apologising profusely and chastising DD1 and trying to tell her it was rude to point and say things, especially so loudly, thankfully the man took it pretty well and had a bit of a chuckle... poor DD1 was so confused as she didn't understand why it was 'rude' to point out what she saw as being bleedingly obvious, but I was soooo mortified :/
I find we're having to have these 'tact' discussions quite frequently at the moment, she seems to be unable to stop herself declaring that people are 'old' or 'fat' or 'short' or whatever... eep!

Same! DD2 points at people in the street and yells "That's FAT!" The other day she dropped something and went "Oh For crying out loud's sake!"
At least I know my attempts to not swear are working

The tact discussion reminds me of a time when DD was about 3 or 4 and we were at the pools - she was playing with a little Aboriginal boy and his mum and I were just watching semi-chatting (didn't know each other but the kids were having fun) - DD comes over and asks the boy's mum "scuse me, why is your skin that funny colour?"
She and I looked at each other, laughed and she then explained that it was because of her race etc - got to love the innocence of children hey
