Overheard in a midtown tea shop where two women are sitting with with their respective children, a boy and a girl. Both of the kids are about four years old. The little boy is talking excitedly to his mother about Santa Claus.
Adorable Little Girl (removing lollipop from mouth, and a propos of nothing in particular): Fire will kill you!
Pause in little boy/mother discussion.
ALG (louder, with enthusiasm): If you go in fire, you’ll be dead!
A longer pause.
ALG (triumphantly, arriving at the crux of her argument): And covered in blood!
ALGs’ mother: Come on, honey, do you have to go to the little girls’ room?
Mother takes ALGs’ hand and leads her away.

Proclaim truth!
Best Streeter yet.
Agreed. Little kids are awesome because they have no qualms about shouting whatever they think. No matter how strange.
That's pretty good, but no one will ever beat Sean Lerner's son:

I love the idea that the little girl may now have given that little boy nightmares of a flaming Santa arriving down the chimney sizzling, bloody, and screaming in agony.
"You do not know the awesome power of the dark side."
