Art Linkletter Okay, everyone under 30 is probably saying, "who the heck is Art Linkletter?". For you neophytes he used to have a portion of his show devoted to kids and he called it "Kids say the Darnedest Things". I came across this posting of some things kids wrote when asked to describe the sea - hope it gives everyone a laugh or two as we anxiously count down the days & hours...

 

This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.

 

Oyster's balls are called pearls.

A dolphin breathes through an a**hole on top of his head.

 

Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more.

 

When ships had sails they used to wait for winds to come. Sometimes when there was no wind sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans.
