I am looking for comments that are appropriate in front of our kids...and for laughs...things you may think but don't want to say in front of the kids.

My personal favorite:'How can they be brothers! They look too different!' In front of the kids, and louder and louder if I don't respond, as if I'm deaf, and they deserve an answer. Two ways I handled it. 1- A wink, with 'they have different bfathers'; or if they are so rude the kids noticed, I let the older think of the rudest thing he could "what color are your underpants?" and if the 'person' responded, I'd say "we thought you were starting a rude contest"
