Children are natural scientists.

Posted by apostropher

I've said before that you should never tell your small children anything you wouldn't be willing to shout in a mall, because eventually your precious little one will announce to everybody in McDonald's that "my daddy has diarrhea!" But then sometimes, they don't even need your prompting.

For hands-down humiliation, however, I haven't yet been able to top my neighbor's misery, when his three year old daughter interrupted his poker game by running naked into the room and screaming with a joyous voice of discovery, "DADDY! DID YOU KNOW? I COME WITH MY OWN POCKET! AND IT CAN HOLD A PEN! LOOK!"

And while he was knocking his chair over to get across the room to put a stop to her performance, she showed all his friends where the pocket was and how well you could put in and take out all kinds of things.

This is a man who's going to show up at his daughter's high school graduation drunk and shirtless, with her name painted across his chest and gut, randomly shouting "WOOO!!!" during her valedictory speech and making devil horns with his upraised hands. And she will have totally earned it.

There's a rousing game of CanYouTopThis going on in the comments to that post.
