Birds and the bees...needs work
At the dinner table while kids are telling silly stories...

All three kids crack up laughing.

Mission Impossible
Mom with 6 and 7 year old sons in party store to get a Webkinz for another child for his birthday:
Mom: "Which one would your friend like?"
7 year old to 6 year old (in too loud whisper) : "Plan A has started."
Mom: "What's Plan A?"
7 year old: "I'm not telling you."
Mom: "If Plan A is the plan where you get yourself a Webkinz, you can forget it."
Pouting children and Mom proceed to register to pay for 1 Webkinz.
In Car:
6 year old: "There was a Plan B and a Plan C also..."

Meet Albaquerque the Turkey
7 yr old daughter: Mom! Come here! Can I tell you a secret?
Mom: Sure.
7 yr old daughter: Mom, this is Albaquerque Turkey. (shows tiny toy turkey) We got him at school. I made a house for him and I'm going to treat him like a princess.
Mom: Wow, that's nice.
7 yr old daughter: (whispers very quietly in Mom's ear) But I'm really going to fatten him up and cook him to a crisp for Thanksgiving dinner!
