About My Family
I have
been putting down my kids's anecdotes for a while, and one day I upload
my story collection on my web site. I thought other people would also enjoy
the sort of innocent humor that comes out of the mouth of babes. Lots of
positive feedback convinced me that I should create an English version
to make our funny stories availabe to a wider audience. Unfortunately,
the majority of the stories proved to be untranslatable or at least
they would surely loose the original wit through any translation. Much
more stories are available for you in the Hungarian
version of this page, in case you understand my native language. The
English version is shorter but I hope you will enjoy it anyway. I thank
Judit who provided me "tele-assistance" with translation from Canada.
Adam was two and a half years
old, when one winter day, I put on his little boots and sent him outside
to play in the freshly fallen snow. A few minutes later I checked on him,
and saw him crying.
"Adam what is the matter?"-
I asked.
"Oh Mom, I can't walk out
here! Everywhere I step there is a hole in the snow!"
Before little Tom was born
I asked Adam:
"Adam, what do you think
we should name your little brother when he is born?"
"I think we should just
ask him what his name is!" replied Adam.
Adam was drawing at his
daycare centre. When he finished his masterpiece, he entitled it: "My holiday
at Lake Balaton". The drawing was nothing more than a mess of blue paint.
When I saw it, I asked him:
"Adam where are the bathers?"
Adam replied: "They are
all under water, of course!"
One evening, Adam was watching a storm through his window
before going to sleep. At one point after a spectacular lightning show
he waited for a while, but could not hear the thunder for several minutes.
He exclaimed:
"What could be wrong, is
the sky breaking down?"
After the death of Adam's grand grandmother we were
having supper. At one point during the evening Adam spotted his grand grandmom's
shawl on a chair. Adam exclaimed:
"Oh, no! This is terrible!
Granny died, and she forgot her shawl!"
