15 #Preschool gems that will make your day

Kids: they say the darndest things. Oh, if only there was a way to keep track of every strange and unusual phrase or sentence that came out of the mouths of babes. Turns out, there is! Parents the world over have been taking to Twitter's @PreschoolGems to share the hilarious nuggets of wisdom uttered by their genius offspring as they try to make sense of the weird and wonderful experiences that delight and confuse them daily. The account is the brainchild of Oregon preschool teacher Leslie McCollum, who has collected some of the best for a book of the same name published by Penguin USA. Here are 15 of our favourites:
