Chilluns say the durndest thangs

Went down to TC's yesterday to return some tools I'd borrowed the other day. His grandkids were there playing with their Tonka toys out in the yard. Grandaughter comes up to me and says "Do I look different?"

"I dunno, didya get a haircut?"

"No, I'm six!"

She followed me down to the shop, where I was looking for a spool of parachute cord to rob about eight foot off of it.

"Whatcha looking for?"

"A spool of white rope, you seen it?"

"No, whatcha need it for?"

"To fix a doo-lolly in the baler."

"What's a doo-lolly?"

"Well, sweetie, that's a technical term farmers use."

"You're a strange old man."


I don't know what bothered me worse, strange or old....
