that one came from DS2 (4y4m) today on the way to nursery. Am I to blame the television? Perhaps that spongebob fellow?

haha ! was going to say they watch too much spongebob.. but he;s so cute ! So who cares if he is talking nonesense

He has been taking a fish slice to bed and calling it 'spatula'

DD1 (5.5) spouts a lot of bizarre nonsense at me everyday over breakfast, because she insists on recounting her dreams in every minute, techicoulor detail...

Bless her, but My God it's a load of drivel

he is channelling spongebob

suggest you change DS1's name to Patrick and buy yourselves a large pineapple

bernard - bless her DS2 always says he dreamed about whatever DS1 has dreamed about

Lulu I believe you may be right! Not sure about the pineapple thing though - I really went off them since trying to eat mountains of the stuff to start labour! Not sure I could bring myself to live in one.

you could make burgers for dinner and call them krabby patties?

DH would die - he hates the sponge I quite like him but may have to curtail the viewing somewhat. We had a quiet weekend in and too much TV was watched!

One of DS's most bizarre out of the blue ramblings was when he was about 3.5 "Mummy, did you know that foxes have wee-squirters?"

I have no idea where he got that from (but I don't think you can blame Spongebob for that one )

love it!

Not bizarre but I had a debate with 6yo niece lasting halfway round the M25 yesterday that the junctions were actually called gunctions (hard g). She would not be convinced that it was a j

DS (3.0) thinks that policemen climb up ladders and get into those yellow boxes with a camera to take pictures of people driving too fast...

DS (5.5) was gobsmacked to find out that girls cam out of mummies tummies too. He was (and really still is) convinced that mummies only have boys - girls come from somewhere else. Think his two younger brothers are to blame for this one...

Ds (2.9) is convinced that he is driving the car when sat in his carseat in the back, not whoever is at the steering wheel. Hence he regularly apologises for bumping over speedbumps; tells us he is going very fast but not to worry because he is being careful; informs us he is going to stop and then, when we carry on, says he changed his mind; and mostly unnervingly cries out 'Oh! I'm crashing on the pavement!" (we haven't yet...)

My daughter does believe in Leprechauns but doesn't believe in the Irish.

DD#2 came up with a lovely suggestion for me after our old dog died earlier this year. I explained the dog had now gone to heaven and DD#2 wanted to go and visit her. When I explained that heaven was a way up above the clouds and I didn't know how to get there DD#2 suggested that we could climb onto the back of a yellow dragon and fly up there. Aww if only.

'We came out of your tummy Mummy and Pippy came out of Nana's (Pippy being a border terrier).'

DS1 thinks that DH assembled him from a flat pack. When he was ill, he begged DH to go to Ikea and buy him a replacement body...

I'm a pea mummy. I'm small and round and green. (Ds 2y4m)

Fair enough .

scheebly - you are not a kiwi by any chance? Perhaps your DS has been hanging around some Australians???

My youngest charge (6) announced that the Queen poos diamonds becuase she is sensible.

3yo dd: Peanut butter is called peanut butter because it's got butts in it.
5yo ds1 replies: No it's not. It's called peanut butter because it's made out of butter.

dd at 5: Mummy, let's make another cake and I can lick the spanner.

DD1 (4yrs 4months too... maybe there's something about that age?) announced that 'God is a centaur'.

.... and she told my dad that 'pottery is overrated'.

ds1 (6) had a sats test today 'it was fun but my brain got cliky and i had to feed half of it to a dragon'

ds2 (4)'when will i be a million years old'
me: (mumbles something about the fat that he wont get to be a million as humans' life span if way shorter'
ds2: mam man - has someone bit ya butterup??'
