My 7 year old's entry:
When she was 2, she woke up in the middle of the night and hobbled into our bedroom.. Stuffed bear and security blanket in tow. She gently shook my wife awake. My wife sat up and in her little sing-song comforting voice started asking "oh honey , what's wrong?" which FINALLY woke me up.
So we're sitting there in bed, my kid has yet to say ANYTHING.. And she looks us both in the face, and in her tired little sleepy voice asked: "How do ducks fly?"
My wife and I struggle for 5 minutes to dumb down the mechanics of aviation enough for a 2 year old to understand, and at the end of our (very lame) explination our daugther cracks this giant smile and says
"No sillys, they just wing it! "
She jumps off the bed and runs to her room.. Giggling her little butt off the entire way. Bear and blanket bouncing behind her.
My wife and I sat in bed for the next hour hysterically laughing.. Ava (our daugther) told her first joke, and made us feel like absolute idiots for the first time all at once..
