Or a 4 years old friend of my daughter's who recently announced "my daddy sometimes wears dresses." Marvellous!

Even better are the details a teacher can 'let slip' about (especially teenage) children. Like 'oh, he works really hard' to the cool kids parents, or 'he's a fantastic poet' to the parents of the rugger-bugger. All true.
