This black troper's kid brother (8 years old) recently asked our journalist father why "no brown people were Republicans."

Having two kids in the family (six and four years old respectively) this editor has witnessed this quite a lot; generally this kind of talk is hilarious but on occasion it can be surprisingly insightful.

Oh Lord, did I put my parents through hell in this regard. Not as bad as the toddler at my day-care whose first words included "bitch," but still. I don't remember much, but one particular event I still find hilarious: My dad had on hand the soundtrack to PulpFiction on tape, which we both loved to death when I was a kid. It featured clips from the film, I should mention. We'd quote the lines a lot(the "whose motorcycle is this" bit was a favorite). This culminated in me, at the tender young age of five, shouting "Any of you fucking pricks move, and I'll execute every motherfucking last one of ya!" on the local railway. ...Yeah, he gave me the talk after that one.

i was in Philadelphia for the weekend when i was like 8 or 9 or something, we were in a decent hotel but had taken some time to go shopping. i com from a town of three hundred people at most in upstate new york. que me asking in a really loud voice "what's with all the black people." my mother and i had a small talk afterward about the civil war.

This troper is 17 but probably still freaked out his creative writing teacher a bit when he was able to tell her the definition of "Lolita".

This might not be a real example because I heard this when I was a child. I was in grade one, and there was a female classmate. There were hints she knew more than a first-grader should know, but one time after school, we were in the sandbox. She asked a series of questions typical of marriage fantasies. I was just going along with it. Then she asked (paraphrasing, I'm reaching my memory 11 years): "Do you want to have sex?" The context was the future, but I said yes. Then went: "Wait, what's that?" Then a first-grade girl gave me detailed description of the act. This was also in front of several middle school students. This probably explains my SexIsEvil attitude as an adult. Sorry for the filibuster.

Once when I was playing a game demo of Batman Arkham Asylum a little boy was watching me he looked to be somewhere about 7-10, anyway when I beat the last henchman Batman delivers a karate chop to his neck and he lies on the floor motionless and twitching and the boy says "Holy shit you cut his head off!"

When this troper was in first grade, she was given a vocabulary assignment to rearrange clumps of letters into words. She arranged one of the letter clumps into "shit" when it was supposed to be "this". For some reason, her teacher gave her 100% on it.

This troper and her four siblings were playing Disney Scene It. When she (19 at the time) had to ask her second-youngest sister (17) a question, instead of the real one she asked "What Disney film stars five naked men?" as a joke. The youngest sister (age 6) guessed "Holes?" She had no idea why we were all laughing so hard. #QUOTE#Child: Head on back to {{From The Mouths Of Babes}} here. #QUOTE#Parent: Don't kids say the darnest things?
