fun things kids say as first class attention grabbers

[Bruno]

Hello all,

I like to use attention grabbers the first day of class in my language 
acquisition courses. I usually mention the fis phenomenon, McNeill and 
Braine on negative evidence, and some fun errors (for example from Erika 
Hoff's and Eve Clark's books, with attribution). Students laugh and become 
really interested in figuring out why kids say the darnedest things.
I was wondering if somebody can share examples that can be used this way or 
if people have some favorite ones they use.
Thanks all.
