As I came into my bedroom about 2 am, I found my two children in bed with my wife, Karen, apparently scared by 'some thunder'. I resigned myself to sleep in the guest bedroom that night.
The next day, I talked to the children and explained that it was OK to sneak into Mum if she allows it, but when I was expected home, please don't sleep with Mum that night.
They said OK.
After my next trip several weeks later, Karen and the children picked me up in the terminal at the appointed time.
Since the plane was late, everyone had come into the terminal to wait for my plane's arrival, along with hundreds of other folks waiting for their arriving passengers.
As I entered the waiting area, my son saw me, and came running shouting,
"Hi, Dad! I've got some good news!"
As I waved back, I said loudly, "What's the good news?"
Oliver shouted,
"Nobody slept with Mummy while you were away this time!"
The airport became very quiet, as everyone in the waiting area looked at Oliver, then turned to me, and then searched the rest of the area to see if they could figure out exactly who his Mum was.

An acquaintance of mine who's a Doctor told this story about her then 4-year-old daughter.
On the way to Nursery, the doc had left her stethoscope on the car seat, and her little girl picked it up and began playing with it.
"Oh wow," thought my friend, "my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps!"
Then the child spoke into the instrument: "Welcome to McDonald's. May I take your order?"

A little girl asked her mother, "Can I go outside and play with the boys?"
Her mother replied, "No, you can't play with the boys, they're too rough."
The little girl thought about it for a few moments and asked, "If I can find a smooth one, can I play with him?"

A Sunday school teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service,
"And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied,
"Because people are sleeping."
