One day my dad remove the back of the television to fix a problem with it. My young brother of about 4 crowded in behind him. Exasperated, my dad said, "Jeff, What are you doing?" And my brother replied, "I want to see all the little people fall out."

another story, not really funny, but my eyes nearly fell out of my head when it happened (i was a eye-witness (ear-witness ?) so you can trust its authenticity). a different friend of mine was playing pétanque in the courtyard with her
4 year-old son. at the end of the game, she said "i won !" her son, being of a rather competitive nature, as 4 year olds often are, was furious and yelled, "no no ! you didn't win ! it was EX AEQUO !!!"
that's right, in latin.
later at dinner he also correctly used (and pronounced) the word "cucurbitacée."
