I love the semicolon; it's unnecessary, but graceful and sophisticated.

When a kid says "smell my hand," it almost never smells like cinnamon.

There’s no such thing as free kittens.

It’s not technically gossip if you start your sentence with “I’m really concerned about __________________ ,” (fill in the name of the person you’re not gossiping about).

Not only is love blind, it’s a little hard of hearing.

When a kid can understand that a word can mean two things, there's some real thinking going on. They have a vested interest in finding out what a word means, because it's the punch line to a joke.

Children are like sponges; they start to smell after a little while.
