Not Speaking

Sometimes kids will repeat the things we say, but under other circumstances, and they take on new and different meanings.

A few years back a friend of a friend was having a bridge party. Shortly before the party was to begin, the family cat was run over and killed.

Their 5 or 6 year old son hadn't seen it, and they didn't want to deal with an upset child just before the party, so they quietly put the body in the trash can and started the bridge party.

About half way though the party, their son walked in, holding the dead cat by his hind legs, and announced for all to hear, "Who threw away this perfectly good cat?"
