Reader Stories: Kids Say the Darndest Things or Out of the Mouths of Traveling Babes

Kids really do say the darndest things - especially when you are traveling. You take them on vacation or holiday to have new experiences, learn new things, become socially confident. But you never really know what they're getting out of it or what's going on in their wee little heads until they open their mouths and pearls of wisdom - or screamingly hysterical, right on remarks - pour innocently out.

At the time, they may be cringingly embarrassing or so funny that you have to hold your breath not to explode. Believe me, those are the incidents that you - and they - will dine out on for years. Share your story now.
