Everybody has one — or a hundred.

You don’t even have to be a mom to have a cute kid story.

I’m not a mom, but as a proud aunt I can tell you lots of stories about my nieces and nephews. Like the time my 6-year-old niece wanted to spend the night at my house. She was going through a bratty stage, so I told her that the bad Ellie couldn’t come but the nice one sure could. She proceeded to be so endearing that her mom remarked, “She sure knows how to turn on the charm, doesn’t she?”

Ellie’s response made it clear that she didn’t really know what her mom meant. She said, “But I don’t know how to turn on your TV.”

Or there’s this story, told to me by a friend: At supper one night, her husband gave a small piece of chicken from his plate to one of their cats. The cat proceeded to growl as he ate it. My friend remarked to her husband, “Remember how Luke used to do the same thing?”
Their daughter, who was born long after Luke the cat had died, couldn’t quite figure that out.

“You mean the Luke who has supper here sometimes?” she asked, referring to a friend of theirs.

Sometimes the cute kid stories are from our own childhoods. Another friend of mine remembers the time her cousin wasn’t old enough to turn on the stove to make breakfast, so he cracked eggs down the floor register.

We’ve started a new thread on our momaha.com forum, mama talk, for you to share all your great cute kid stories. We may use some of them in the Living section of the World-Herald, where we run fun little stories in a “Life Light” column.

So click here and share the smiles.
